Excellent hotel. Fantastic service.

Sandals Dunn's River, formerly The Jewel Beach Resort, reopened its doors on May 24th, 2023 as a premium Jamaica adults-only, all-inclusive resort located mere moments from one of Jamaica’s top attractions – spectacular Dunn’s River Falls. The Caribbean’s most romantic, adults-only Jamaican resort is the perfect spot for couples, honeymooners and idyllic weddings. Imagine watching a movie from the comfort of a pool raft and dining by candlelight on a pristine beach – that’s just the beginning. Now visualize your first breath in the morning being filled with fresh ocean air from your room’s private balcony. Picture yourself sipping handmade rum punch served by a pool concierge.

On the north coast of Jamaica, rivers meander through forests and rushing waterfalls wash over the landscape. In this secluded spot, filled with the Earth’s abundance, love flows naturally. Hand-picked by our founder for its pristine beach and its close distance to Jamaica’s spectacular natural wonder… Now, completely reimagined, Sandals Dunn's River resort in Ocho Rios returns to the Sandals Family.
