This is a 2 part review 1st is how i felt about the property: If you love loud noise then the pool view is for you. I prefer quiet so i requested a change. I was given the mountain and gaden view on a higher level. That was perfect as the music in the lobby plays for hours and can be heard loudly inroom on lower levels. There are quite a few restaurants which were ok at best. The beach area is very small and lots of small stones in the beach. The pools are beautiful and the landscaping deserves a few awards. 2nd half is for the staff I had some trying times getting acclamated on my first night and the staff went above and beyond to assist with getting us adjusted. My most notable experience was the upper managements professionalism including Lenox ( mgt/dr guess services) and Rasheed ( mgt food n beverages) who both went above and beyond to make sure that our requirements were met on every level. They have a fun nightlife and overall the staff who i encountered were lovely.

If you are a COUPLE looking for a relaxing get away, please save your money and go elsewhere. First off, way over crowded. They didn't have enough chairs/umbrellas for guests, people were waking up at the crack of dawn to claim a chair by the beach/pool then going back to sleep or leaving for hours! This resort had girls trips and adult families way more than couples. It was not a romantic or relaxing atmosphere at all. They seat you on top of each other in all of the restaurants to accommodate the over abundance of people. Loud club party music starts blasting at 11am until the middle of the night. Most staff was unwelcoming and we didn't get a part of our food orders many times. The restaurants were so slow and you had to wait 45 mins just to get your food which was unimpressive. The buffet was absolutely awful. It was the same every morning and as soon as you walk in your hit with the smell of rotting food. They leave raw meat, condiments like sour cream and mayo out in the 90/100 degree heat for hours. We got sick after most meals. Room service goes up and down the hall and other employees with loud carts the entire night where it jolts you out of a sleep its so loud. On top of it the staff is speaking just as loud in the hallways all night on their walkie talkies.Our room had no wifi at all. This was our first trip to Sandals, so disappointed and will not be returning.

We returned on Sunday from Jamaica and on our 7 days there we split our stay between two hotels- Breathless Montego Bay Resort & Spa and Sandals Dunn's River Fans Official. I’ll start with the positives: 1. the architecture was immaculate. We stayed in the Ocean View Mammee Bay room and we loved it. 2. The food at the restaurants (except the buffet) were superb quality and the drinks were even better. Now the negatives: TERRIBLE Customer service!!! The first happened at check in when the guy in the club room was looking up our reservation under my husband’s name even though I told him THREE times it was under mines (maybe in disbelief that I could book this resort). The second happened at the Sushi restaurant where we sat for 15mins without having any drinks or our order taken and the manager had to come over to help us( it was NOT) busy inside. We finally had a waitress who took our order and delivered it but when we ordered Saki she never returned. She didn’t even come back to ask how our meal was or if we wanted anything else. She just ghosted us. Third, the very next day at the buffet I asked the young lady making the smoothie what kind of smoothies were being served and her reply which sounded annoyed was “fruit”. We opted to go to Edessa for the remainder of our stay to avoid her terrible service. The elevator in our building kept going down and we were on the 5th floor and had to walk up and down FIVE flights of stairs everyday.
