Eshaan Palmer , and Dejhanae Plummer were everything and more. Both of them took very good care of us and made sure that all of our needs were met and that we wanted or needed for Nothing! Cascatas Italian restaurant had one of the best steaks Ive ever eaten. Gregory at the Jerk Shack was the best. He personally came out and served us Jerk shrimp and lamb chops with the very best Oxtails weve ever had. Marsha was so kind and sweet and very hospitable. She made sure that our glass was never empty when we were at the jerk shack and Edessas. I truly was wowwed by Dunns River. We will definetly be back and when we do I am personally requesting Eshaan and Dejhanae. Read less

    This is our third trip to a Sandals resort. We love going. Dunn's River is a beautiful and amazing resort. We had a beach view room and butler service. There are so many things to do and the shows and activities included were great. The pricing is reasonable when you consider it includes lodging, all you can eat,drink with amenities. We paid extra for excursions and spa services. The spa is incredibly beautiful and Horatio was an incredible masseuse. Our butlers were on spot making sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond decorating our room for birthday and anniversary celebrations. Thank you Dejhanae and Eshaan for being so attentive to us. This really is a favorite place to relax and escape. Sandals makes every trip memorable. Read less
