Sandal’s Dunn’s River was our first Sandal’s resort, and it did not disappoint. I will break down each section for everyone thinking about this resort below. Airport/Shuttle: We flew Charlotte to Montego Bay, we decided to choose Club Mobay to help with arrival and departure. I would 100% recommend this if you have never flown into Jamaica before. We had the early flight so the airport wasn’t super busy yet, but we still got through customs extremely quickly and efficiently. We then went to the Sandals lounge and checked in. Then we went to the Club Mobay lounge and they served us food/drinks while we waited for our shuttle to the resort. Our luggage was loaded by an airport luggage employee who was very pushy about tipping him. I would HIGHLY recommend bringing $5s and $10s with you. You never tip Sandal’s employees, but you will tip randomly like at the airport, your shuttle drivers, and your tour guides. The shuttle was LONG. That is the only drawback of this whole experience. Be prepared for about an hour and a half journey with aggressive driving. Our shuttle drivers were great, the driving is just a different experience than the states. Arrival at Resort: We arrived at the resort to a welcoming committee and cold towels, and then we were escorted to the Club Sandals Lounge. I would HIGHLY recommend always choosing the club sandals level. It was very helpful the entire trip. We were very fortunate to be upgraded to the butler sky pool suite without the butler. It was the most beautiful room and view. Thanks to our travel agent, Korie Whited with Travelmation for all her hard work. Food: The food was what I was most nervous about going into our first Sandals. My husband can be an extremely particular eater. It surpassed our expectations by miles. Banyu was our favorite, and it seemed to be everyone else’s too. Our recommendation would be to go immediately at 6:00 pm or you may have to wait 45 minutes to an hour. Blum (the coffee shop) was my favorite spot. The coffee is superb and my husband LOVED the coffee cake. Lunch was probably the weakest option. There just weren’t as many choices as dinner even though the lunches are fabulous. I would definitely recommend ordering breakfast room service!!! Oh my word, the French toast and pancakes were AMAZING! Activities: The one off resort activity I 100% recommend is to climb Dunn’s River Waterfall. We had the most amazing experience there. It is worth doing once in your life. We ran into some pushy sales people leaving the waterfall so just a reminder to keep your head down and unfortunately feel rude. Other than that, I would recommend just signing up for all the resort/water activities you can. My husband and I learned to Snuba, we swam in the ocean, we kayaked, we snorkeled, and we did the glass bottom boat which was beautiful! You can literally snorkel with just a small boat ride from the resort, it was really neat. The people: From the moment we got off the plane the people
