Excursion - We planned an outside excursion for us and our guests thru Lee's Tours and they created a special sight-seeing, Dunn's River Falls, and shopping tour for us. It was great! Included Activity - Windsurfing was a lot of fun (I got completely soaked!) and we really enjoyed the snorkeling trip.

We are currently booked in one of the villas. How long did it take you to get to the Riveria side of the resort?

Would you stay in the villlas again?

Thanks in advance!

Wow, it sounds like snorkeling and the glass bottom boat are must do activities! Thanks for your responses everyone!

 

And it's funny, because I noticed all the similar siggy pictures too and thought it was just so cute

When my husband and I were at Sandals Grande Ocho Rios in April we stayed in two different villas and we liked both but we discussed whether we'd prefer the Riviera side better alot.

 

What we decided was that if we were pool people as opposed to ocean lovers the manor side would be awesome. The villas were quiet, private and I loved the extra space.

 

The Riviera side rooms in the main building were a bit more luxurious, we spent all day at the beach and there were more restaurants to sample from that side so overall that would be our preference and why!

 

We never took the shuttle but walked up and down the hill and that took about 10-15 minutes down (from the lobby of the Manor sideto the beach) and 15-20 minutes up.
