Jessie's Sandals Dunns River Cons:
The resort was rebuilt and rebranded; Sandals bought the old Jewel Dunns River Resort.
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.
Currently, they are clearing the land next door, and they will construct a new resort. You need to prepare for construction and noise.
The resort opened recently, and they are still working out some kinks.
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?
