Jessie's Sandals Dunns River Pros:

  1. The resort is home to a lovely river pool that winds its way through the resort. It's the first Sandals with a River Pool.

  2. There is plenty of seating and umbrellas at the beach and pools.

  3. Reimagined restaurants providing delicious dishes.

  4. Lovely new room categories.

  5. Excellent and attentive staff.


Jessie's Sandals Dunns River Cons:

  1. The resort was rebuilt and rebranded; Sandals bought the old Jewel Dunns River Resort.

  2. The beach is small. Sandals plans to build Sandals Royal Dunns River Resort next door; the beach will be more expansive when the new resort opens.

  3. Currently, they are clearing the land next door, and they will construct a new resort. You need to prepare for construction and noise.

  4. The resort opened recently, and they are still working out some kinks.

  5. Dunns River is a 90-minute drive from the airport. I suggest upgrading to private transfers; you will still have a long drive, but at least you won't be stuck in awkward conversations with strangers.

In conclusion, Sandals Dunns River Resort is a haven that redefines paradise with its blend of timeless elegance and modern luxuries. With world-class dining options, luxurious accommodations, vibrant Caribbean culture, and pristine beaches, this resort offers an unparalleled vacation experience. So why wait? Book your getaway today and indulge in the ultimate balance of relaxation and adventure. As author Unknown once said, "Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller." Let Sandals Dunns River Resort be the setting for your unforgettable story.
