Grand facilities at the 'Grande'
Advantages: Lots of facilities and good choice of restaurants Disadvantages: Rooms are more basic than you'd probably expected
...The hotel:
The Sunset Jamaica Grande is a hotel in the 'Sunset' group of hotels. The hotel is the largest of the three in the group and is rated as a 4 star standard. The hotel is made up of one main building and two tower blocks which are very easy to spot from a distance due to their bright yellow colour! Location:
The hotel sits on the edge of the bay and in a prime position directly on the beach which is also private to hotel guests. The hotel ... ...Bay airport. Across from the hotel in the opposite bay is where all the cruise ships dock - far enough away for there to be any noise disruption but, close enough to watch them go by.
First impressions:
I knew what it looked like from looking at it on the internet and from pictures in brochures so I knew what to expect in terms of the building exterior but, it really does hit you how big the hotel is as you pull up. The lobby is very large with ...

Dunns River sandals- bit of a letdown.....
Advantages: beautiful beach, fantastic buffet Disadvantages: other resturants very poor
...this is where i felt Sandals really let us down. Dont get me wrong the buffet was FANTASTIC- the choice was out of this world but the italian and "gourmet silver service" was useless. the pizza and spag bol we ordered could have been from the freezer section in Tescos and the gourmet silver service was laughable. The pork medallions i ordered were pork chops! The oriental restaruant which you had to book for was ok but this really was only because ... ...beach holiday where you dont have to tip, food and alcohol is in plentiful supply and the beach is beautiful then go for it! we dont regret it as we did want to do the sandals experience but i think it perhaps didnt quite live up to our expectations ...

You Must Try It!
Advantages: All-Inclusive, Food, Drinks, Ammenities Disadvantages: Bus Ride From Airpot.
AWESOME! This was my first trip to Jamaica, and all I can say is that is was great.
The staff was awesome, and are all VERY nice and will help you with ANYTHING you need.
The All-Inclusive part of the stay was also a first for me, and I have nothing bad to say about it. The food was great no matter where we ate, and the premium drinks were well done.
If you are going to Jamaica and have kids, this is the place to go, with 3 pools, slides, Xbox ... ...wrong.
The people who work there are not only very helpful, but are very efficient as well.
MUST go at least once!
OK now some info:
The rooms were spacious, and clean. 2 double beds that were pretty comfortable and we slept well. The couch had a pull out bed so one of us could sleep on it. We als had a mini fridge that was stocked every day, and all items in it were included, no extra fees. We had a patio right off our room, and we were supplied ...

Couples Sans Souci, Jamaica - SUPERB
Advantages: Top quality in all areas Disadvantages: None that I could see
I have worked in the travel trade for over 20 years now and I have to say this was one of my favourate hotels ever. It is 5* and deserves every star it has. It is by no means a cheap property, infact I wouldn't even say it was a reasonable price. You get exactly what you pay for on this one. You pay top notch prices and get top notch service. The rooms are all of a superb level of standard. Our room was a suite with a huge jacuzzi bath and double ... ...rooms have a view but some are garden views. The gourmet restaurant was very good if that is what you like. The presentation of the food was excellent (I don't even think Gordon Ramsey could complain !!) You can also eat on the beach privately if you want. There is also a resturant by the pool and a beach bar that does food as well as drink. (NOTE THIS IS AN ALL INCLUSIVE PROPERTY, so don't forget that when you get a price for it.)
Also it has ...
