“Wonderful stay”

Nov 16, 2025Passenger807106

We arrived at Sandals Dunn's River around 10:30 PM, following a four-hour flight delay. We were kindly directed to Club Sandals and were welcomed with a warm smile and a refreshing cocktail. Our accommodations were in the Travertine building, which offered a beautiful view of the beach. In the evenings, we were able to enjoy the entertainment from our balcony. The beach and grounds are beautiful. We did encounter an issue with one of the pocket doors, which we reported to Gina. Two maintenance technicians spent nearly two hours attempting to repair it without success, ultimately concluding that a carpenter's expertise would be necessary. Unfortunately, the door was not subsequently repaired. We had the opportunity to dine at all the restaurants. While the Greek restaurant was a disappointment, we thoroughly enjoyed the others. We would like to suggest the addition of a late-night snack venue beyond the Rum Club. All of the Sandals staff are truly wonderful! We would particularly like to commend Trudy Ann, Lucian, and Ronaldo at Hanami, Andre at the bar, Davani at the pool/beach, CaseyAnn, Natasha, Akeem, and Nicholas, to name a few. Keyron Powell, the Director of Guest Services, is truly remarkable. He is an invaluable asset to Sandals Dunn's River. His knowledge, kindness, and energetic approach, always delivered with a genuine smile and a dance, are deeply appreciated. He perfectly embodies the essence of exceptional customer service. This is one resort that we will return too!

“Hurricane Melissa Stay”

Nov 10, 2025580bev

Spent a week at Sandals during the time of Hurricane Melissa. I just want to mention that ALL the staff and management went out of their way to make us feel relaxed, welcomed, entertained, and well cared for. You could tell that they had very well laid out hurricane protocols. The management team of outgoing Deryk Meany and incoming Kevin Clarke kept us very informed with twice a day meetings. Staff all over the resort were super friendly and helpful from the restaurant staff, to bartenders, to front desk, to club office. Even after the hurricane, when some staff did not know what was happening with their own families; they still offered smiles and reassurance. The whole team also moved very quickly in assessing any damage and cleaning the resort. At no time did we feel uncomfortable or nervous. Going through something like a hurricane creates a bonding experience. With the small group of guests that was left; we felt a closeness in the fact we were all going through this experience together. We got to really know so many people on a more personal level. I would just like to say thank you to Deryk, Kevin, and the great staff at Sandals Dunns River. We will definitely be back to experience the resort soon.

“Red Lane Spa”

Nov 07, 2025Passport31041092763

We would highly recommend the Red Lane Spa at Sandals Dunn’s River. It truly is an oasis in paradise. The facilities are amazing and every member of staff was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. A special mention must go to Shanakay and Sashana. We had the privilege of meeting these wonderful ladies three times for treatments. They are not only masters of their craft but genuinely lovely people who made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Thank you both- it really was a pleasure to meet you and we can’t wait to come back!
