Went to Sandals Dunns River Jamaica on our honeymoon 10 years ago. Real nice place. Pretty much stayed on the resort as Kingston was in an all out war. Turned on the TV the first night and there were 5 murders there.
Went to Dunns River by boat for a day trip. Pretty cool climbing the falls plus the Hedonism Gals were there climbing as well. That was a bonus
Talked to a few of the employees (bartenders) about venturing off the resort and they all said the same thing..STAY! Food was fantastic. Had 4 or 5 restaurants to choose from each night. One night, they were all closed. We then figured out that it was a HUGE buffet style dinner served ON THE BEACH that night. Real nice!
Beach was alright but the jet-ski locals would yell at you all day to braid your hair, rent a ride or buy some weed. Water was real salty and sharks were in the area so we stayed at the pool most of the time. Plus...it had a great swim up bar and Jamal, the bartender, was making fantastic rum punch...in the glass as I slurped it down with the straw. Yikes
Noticed a ton of security roaming the perimeter and the roof tops.
We got held over at the Sandals right near the airport. That place seemed like a dive and boy was it loud with the jets going in and out. Small pool too. Dunns River had 2 pools..1 huge one and one with the nice bar and jacuzzi right next to it. Only problem was the pools were closed by 5pm and it was still scorching hot.
We did the scuba diving too. Pretty uneventful. Coral was dead, engines all over the ocean floor, trash everywhere. Head diver said it was a dumping ground now.
I'd go back but I'd take a Xanax for the 2 hour trip from the airport to the resort. They drive like maniacs! Beeping the horn all the time, accidents all over and the halfway stop was a little dicey too. Talking with another couple walking, the guy feels a tug on his pocket. He puts his hand back and feels a plastic bag full of weed. Looks behind him and a local is smiling saying "for you mon" Kinda funny.
We tried to get on a marlin boat right from the resort dock but they said my wife would not be able to handle the size of the fish. I got excited and began to sign myself up but got B*tch slapped. Damn!
Buddy went to Sandals St. Lucia and said it too was fantastic.
Maybe next time, I can convince her to go to Hedonism
