Why is this resort special?

The grounds are spectacular, with lush mature gardens and small koi ponds everywhere. Tucked away are little private corners which hide hammocks, benches, little bistro tables - you get the picture. Swimming pools are everywhere and made fun with swim-up bars, whirlpools, and are full of friendly people. The lobby areas are full of comfy furniture, handy bars, and are usually quietly entertaining. 

The food is excellent, and with so many restaurants, the choices are endless. The buffet is so good on its own that you may never go to the other restaurants, but you should. 

It must be mentioned that the choice of room types and service is incredible, and is for adults only.

Sandals Grande Riviera, Jamaica

Luxuriant greenery, mountains that loom over white sand beaches and the world-renowned Dunn's River Falls are what make Ocho Rios such an extraordinary destination. This adults only, 5-star rated resort is actually three resorts in one: The Riviera (beachfront), The Manor House (hillside), and The Ciboney Villas (hillside), each offering unique architecture and style. The gardens stretch from the beachfront to the highest villa and surround everything in the resort with lush greenery and beautiful flowers. Most activities are included in the price, even such unusual items as golf green fees and scuba diving. The food is incredible and served in eleven different restaurants while 10 bars ensure that no-one goes thirsty.
