This was my first time at Sandals, but not the last. Our villa was clean and comfortable. Food and fun was as advertised. The best part was our two butlers, Makiko and Patrick. They made us feel as though we were the only couple at the resort. They brought breakfast on-time each morning, ensured that we were at all of... More

We arrived on April 15th for one week stay at the butler villas on the hill. I would say this is the third tier of the resort. We stayed in room 7357, it is was an upper room on the corner of the road where people get picked up by golf carts or the trucks. The room was beautiful. But... More

Thanks to R n R Travel in Tilton, Illinois, my wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at the Sandals Grande Riviera, in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. When I originally booked the vacation on the Manor side of this huge resport, the villas were not butler only. However, that changed in February of this year, and so we were assigned two... More

We arrived and felt like we were royalty!! Everything was just as promised. Rooms were beautiful and clean, the food was the best we have ever eaten on vacation and the service could not have been better. We definitely want to go there again!!!

Arrived in Jamaica on 5/11. From MBJ airport to the resort is nearly a 2 hrs. ride. Upon arrival, we were escorted to the butler waiting lounge where you get to meet your butlers. You are assigned 2 butlers throughout your stay. They provide you a phone so you can call them with your needs. There are 2 properties, The... More

Our trip to this resort was FANTASTIC. We could tell you about a few little things that weren't "perfect" but the staff at this resort made everything better and helped the few little things seem trivial. From out butlers (Denton & Shanadeen) to the pool girl (Mellissa), dive crew (Winston, Arneil, Smarge, Sauer, Kevin), bar staff (Annalee, Basil, Tereque) and... More

We loved our visit to SGR. Our only complaint was the rocky beaches other than that it was a beautiful resort with lots of cool places around the resort to hang out and get sun. The entertainment was fantastic. The food was good, not excellent. Our favorite dinner was at Neptunes. A plus is that we never had to wait... More

For our 25th wedding anniversary, we wanted to plan an extra special vacation with an all inclusive resort. Sandals was at the top of the list, but which one? We looked at many properties but quickly became overwhelmed. That's when we reached out to beachbumvacation.com and we're so glad we did. Justin with Beachbumvacation took care of everything!

Between the villa, our butlers, the food, and all of the wonderful people of the Sandals resort, this was our best vacation ever! From the moment we arrived, it was a great experience! We both needed the beauty of the island and a no schedule routine for a week to ease the stress of the entire past year. Sandals delivered!... More
