Fodor's Expert Review Sandals Grande Riviera Beach & Villa Golf Resort

Main St., Ocho Rios, St. Ann, Jamaica

This sprawling resort began years ago as two separate properties, and today it continues to have a split personality. The property features the Riviera Seaside and Beach Club, which has babbling brooks, fragrant gardens, and a chic beach club. Across the road (accessible by shuttle or tunnel) is the all-butler-service Riviera Villas and Great House. Some villas are quite far from the public areas and the beach. The resort also has 16 places to eat, a large rock-climbing wall, and complimentary golfing privileges with the Sandals Golf and Country Club.

PROS

  • airport shuttle

  • numerous swimming options
  • romantic dining options

CONS

  • villas a long way from the beach

  • long wait for the shuttle
