The Jewel Dunn's River Beach Resort and Spa was absolutely beautiful. Our vacation was perfect! I commend the employees at this resort for all their hard work and for going above and beyond to make things perfect especially the buffet restaurant staff. I have absolutely no negatives about this hotel.

My husband and I stayed here for four days in October of 2012. I found a Groupon special they were running and we decided to take a chance after researching them here on Tripadvisor. We ended up having such a great time! Totally worth it going to an adults-only retreat, it just made it that much more relaxing and romantic.... More

When we first arrived to Jamaica, we were amazed at the beauty. The entire island is green and the ocean is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I will say that the entire way from Montego bay to Ocho Rios is very poor. If you don't like to be around poverty, this is not the place for... More
