Sandals Dunns River
For our honeymoon my husband booked Sandals Dunns River without my knowing about it. I was thrilled! I had heard nothing but good things about the Sandals resorts and they definitely live up to the expectation.
If you don't know, Sandals is an ultra all-inclusive resort for couples only. Everything they do is geared towards making you fall in love all over again. We snorkeled, had candle lit dinners under the stars, danced to the Jamaican bands, took a tour of Dunns River Falls, and lounged by the pool.
The food was amazing. From the fresh fruit and made to order omelets at breakfast, to the steak dinners, and even the snack stand at the pool. I didn't find one thing there that I didn't like. And it's all included. If you don't like something, send it back and get something else.
Another thing I like about the resorts is that you don't have to tip. When they say all-inclusive, they mean it. We tried to tip a couple of times and the employees refused. WE spent a week in Jamaica and spent a total of $100 while we were there. That was on gifts for family.
If you're looking for an amazing vacation, Sandals Dunns River is definitely one to try!

This sounds like a wonderful place to vacation. Thanks for the great review. I sent a vote your way ------->
What a GREAT surprise! I've heard good things about Sandles too but now that I have a kid it will be a while before I can try them out for myself. Glad you enjoyed it:0)
This sounds so cool, I want to go!! :) I especially like all the fun activities they offer that are couple-oriented. Thanks for the good review!
I've always heard great things about Sandals vacations. Great review.
My sister went to Sandals for her honeymoon and also loved it. I can only dream of taking a vacation like this with my husband. It probably won't be for many years! Thank you for your detailed review which helps me to daydream a little.
sounds amazing!!!
This sounds like a very interesting vacation.....great review,...voted
Long ago when I was a travel agent, we used to book lots of Sandels vacations, they were very popular. I have never gotten to go myself because of no child care but we like to go on cruises for the same all inclusive reasons a s a resort like this. Except on a cruise you do have to tip but that's at the end.
This sounds like an absolutely wonderful vacation. Lots of romance, great food and varied activities. I was wondering about the rooms at Sandals. Are they comfortable and offer lots of amenities?
I saw another review about this resort. I am really wanting to go! It sounds so beautiful and I have never heard anything bad about these resorts. I am glad you got a nice surprise! I voted!
I have heard that Sandals vacations are wonderful. I have always wondered what someone who actually went on one of these vacations thought? Thank you so much for sharing you have really made me feel like Sandals might be right for my husband and I!
I have seen commericals for Sandals, never known any one that actually took a vacation there. It sounds like a very romantic place. Maybe I should surprise my wife with a trip to Sandals. How are the rooms?
I think all inclusive is the way to go! It takes a lot of the stress and worry out of a vacation and as I stated before Sandals is a top notch place, no matter which resort you go to ;)
I really like the part about even the tips are covered. All inclusive is the way to go
This sounds like a wonderful place and I would go there from your great recommendation and very informative review. Voted :O) What a great hubby to pick this place for your honeymoon!
I've been hearing nothingbut amazing reviews for Sandals. I like the idea that it's goal is to make the couple fall back in love all over again. My hubby & I could really use a vacation there, lol! Thanks for the great review, voted for you :).
Sounds like my kind of place. I especially love the idea of no kids! We all need a break every once in awhile! I am such a romantic too and dinner under stars sold me! Thanks
We did the Sandals in St. Lucia and LOVED it! We will definitely do another Sandals trip so we will keep this one in mind!
I love the concept of all inclusive resorts. I have yet to vacation in one but it is definitely one of the things on my "bucket list." Which is still very long as I'm only 25, lol. I think it's great about the tipping thing...that is the one thing I don't like when going on vacation because you feel like you have to tip everyone and I always feel like a cheapo when I don't. Glad to hear you had a wonderful vacation!
We have never taken an all inclusive vacation, but I think it would be great not having to worry about money while your on vacation. Great review!
I guess I'm going to have to try one of these all inclusive resorts. My daughter raves about their trip to Jamaica at a Sandals resort. I especially like what you said about if you didn't like something, send it back and they get something else for you. Awesome!
This sounds like an amazing trip. I love the all inclusive aspect of it. It makes for a great vacation.
All inclusive sounds like the way to go! And I've always wondered about how good the food would be at one of these resorts. Thanks for the info!
sounds like you had a nice and interesting vacation
I love all inclusive. It's just so easy. It always takes me a while to realize that I don't have to choose which drink or appetizer, I can have it all!
I love Sandals - We went to the Sandals in St. Lucia for our honeymoon. I'd love to visit another Sandals someday!
I have heard so many good things about the Sandals trips. I will have to try one out someday. I love the idea of it being all-inclusive. That takes a lot of stress away from the planning. Sounds great!
I really love that this is all inclusive, including the tips! I would love to be able to take a similar type of vacation some day.
great review.. thanks for sharing the product and your experience.. big help.. voted!!!
Oh I would love to take a vacation like this .Great review.
