Sandals Grande Ocho Rios Beach and Villa Resort (Main St., tel. 876/974-5691, www.sandals.com, US$880 weekly) is a 529-room property covering land on both sides of the bypass. Sandals properties are exclusively for couples. Sandals Grande Ocho Rios features three resorts in one, set amid a 100-plus acre seaside estate. The Ciboney Villas are nestled among lush, tropical foliage, and come with private pools. A small white sand beach hugged by a wraparound pier dotted with gazebos dubbed the Grande Promenade, is the prominent feature at The Riviera. The Manor House is set among sprawling lawns and gardens on the opposite side of the road from The Riviera. All three Sandals Jamaica resorts boast rooms with amenities like four-poster king beds, flat panel TVs, CD players, stocked fridge, en suite bathrooms, and air-conditioning. Internet is available for an additional charge. Guests can choose from 11 restaurants, seven pools, and 22 whirlpools, and are offered complimentary access to the Sandals Ocho Rios Golf Club.
