Complimentary green fees and free wedding among perks on offer

Sandals Dunn’s River, the newest Sandals resort, is delivering freebies to guests as the property is set to open its doors on May 24 next year.

The all-inclusive resort, located in Ocho Rios, St Ann, on Jamaica’s north coast, is the Sandals hotel chain’s latest hotel project in Jamaica and its Caribbean base. It is serving up a handful of freebies to woo guest to come.

All guests at Sandals Dunn’s River will have complimentary green fees at Upton Estate Golf and Country Club in Ocho Rios, one of the highest-ranked golf clubs in Jamaica. The 18-hole course has broad views of the sea and mountains and is located in picturesque hills 700 feet above sea level.

Guests at the resort, who are thinking of getting married, can tie the knot with the hotel offering free weddings when staying for three or more nights. The resort will provide wedding planning services along with the venue, bouquet, boutonniere, and cake.

More wedding perks

Sandals says couples can personalise their special day with optional add-ons and even receive additional free wedding perks if booking rooms for guests or staying for an extended time. Love birds booking more than five rooms can choose from fun extras like access to a name change service, romantic tiki torches, or even a lobster dinner.

The hotel, which will be the brand’s 17th Sandals location in the Caribbean and its seventh in Jamaica, will feature 260 one-of-a-kind rooms and have plenty of perks available to guests.

The resort will offer some impressive accommodation options. The Coyaba Swim-Up Rondoval Butler Suites are even more impressive.

Each of these beautifully designed standalone villas comes complete with a private pool accessible from the bedroom, an open-air rooftop sun (or stargazing) lounge, breathtaking views, and butler service. With frontage on the sprawling lazy river, the Coyaba Rondoval Suites are tranquil, intimate, and ultra-lux.

Guests can choose from a range of other accommodation options, including Beachfront Suites with expansive glass balconies and Club Level rooms with private outdoor soaking tubs. The resort is not entirely new. It was first opened as the Arawak Hotel in the 1950s and, after changing hands, joined the Sandals brand in 1991.

It later became Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa until 2020, when it was re-acquired, along with an adjacent waterfront property, by Sandals Resorts International for US$30 million.
