After the opening of the brand new Sandals Royal Curacao, Sandals Resorts announced that reservations are now open for the wholly re-conceptualized and fully renovated Sandals Dunn's River in Jamaica beginning May 24, 2023! 

The company unveiled what's next for this adults-only, all-inclusive favorite: from first-of-its-kind suite designs to jaw-dropping and NEW restaurant concepts and bars. Beloved by couples since its initial addition in 1991, Sandal's Dunn's River will return as a brand new resort design to embrace the essence of Jamaica. With 260 rooms and top-to-bottom restoration, Dunn's River is going to be the new favorite, I think.

"Today is marked with very special intention, as we accept reservations for Sandals Dunn's River in honor of our founder and my late father, Gordon 'Butch' Stewart's birthday – just a small homage to him that we know will make him smile." - Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of SRI

Sandals & Beaches Resorts are always some of my favorites, because you know you are going to have a luxury experience that's also all-inclusive. Everything including gourmet dining, alcohol, water sports, and entertainment are included in your hotel rate. Once you get a taste of all-inclusive, you may never go back!
