Sandals Grande Riviera Beach: 100 Acres of Ahhhh

Time to set down your hum-drummin' and pick up some beach bummin' at the couples-only Sandals Grande Riviera Beach and Villa Golf Resort. Nestled among mountainous terrain, overflowing with lush vegetation and sweeping vistas on 100 acres of Ocho Rios' choicest real estate, this resort makes its home on the pure, white sands on what has been dubbed the Caribbean Riviera. Towering 700 ft above sea level, Sandals offers a formidable golf course given a four-star rating by Golf Digest Magazine for "Courses to Play While on Vacation." This par-71, 18-hole course, measuring 6,502 yards and sporting a total of 10 holes surrounded by out-of-bounds stakes, demands extreme precision from any visitor daring enough to take up the challenge.

The stretch of inviting white sands that separate the resort from the rolling surf offers the perfect spot for you to laze in the sun or reserve a sun bed for a cozy lounging experience. With more than 90 private and semi-private pools across the resort, guests can always find a spot near the water. Reserve a private cabana, poolside, that includes the services of a cabana concierge ready to deliver your ice-cold towels, fruit plates and fresh drinks. Multiple swim-up bars quench your thirst while you're in the water, while 22 whirlpools offer a warmer watery experience.

The gourmet options at Sandals Grande Riviera Beach and Villa Golf Resort include 11 restaurants. Try the Caribbean cuisine at The Reef Terrace on Monday, chopstick your way through the China Doll's amazing Chinese fare on Tuesday and savor the robust northern Italian flavors at Valentino's on Wednesday. As far as nightlife goes, Sandals offers a different theme each night of the week. Sundays host the couples' game show, Lovers' Passion in Paradise, Wednesday nights feature the White Party and Fridays boast a Beach Party Barbecue with live entertainment.

Spend your morning beneath the waves with a scuba dive or snorkeling, indulge in the spa, claim a premium-liquor cocktail and embrace the fact that your day has only just begun.
