This hotel is a legend in Jamaica, and is center piece of Ocho Rios. I love the the huge open air lobby with plenty of space to sit and watch the sunset, and the Lighthouse Waterslide to keep the kids happy. The beach area has crystal clear water and some great water sports.
What I wish I
could change:
The resort has a lot of activities going on and some can run past midnight. So - folk that like to go to bed early, you might need to adjust your schedule. You'll love the entertainment though.
Why YOU should
go:
This hotel has something for everything, whether you are a couple or travelling with your family. It does have a nice Jamaican vibe about it, and there are plenty of activities to keep you busy, and nice restaurants to eat in.
Indulge in the all-inclusive and legendary beachfront 730-room Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort and Spa in Ocho Rios with its variety of new amenities, restaurants, spa and famous lighthouse waterslide. Downtown Ocho Rios is a 5 minute walk away, and Dunn's River Falls is less than a 10 minute drive.

Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort and Spa is a self-contained beachfront resort located along the breathtaking coastline of Jamaica. It is an island of intoxicating natural beauty, from lush rain forests and mountainous terrain to spectacular waterfalls and beautiful beaches. Located next to the colorful port city of Ocho Rios, the newly-renovated Sunset Jamaica Grande awaits your arrival with a new lobby, three new pools (for a total of five), a new entertainment pavilion, new kids' and teen clubs, two beach bars and the Aqua Azul Spa. The property has also upgraded its five existing restaurants.
The new Aqua Azul Spa can dissolve any remaining of the 9 to 5 away. The facilities include individual and couples massage rooms as well as reflexology treatments, Thai and sports massages.
Five lavish pools wander through this beachside complex, featuring waterfalls, plunge pools, swim-up bars and a swaying rope bridge. Known for its wide range of fun in the sun daytime activities, guests can also enjoy an abundance of fun after the sun goes down.
The exciting, new Lighthouse Waterslide is a thrill for everyone and is set to become a landmark along the Ocho Rios coastline. Architecturally designed like a traditional lighthouse, the new attraction is nothing like its counterparts! Impressively statuesque, guests climb an enclosed spiral staircase 60 feet up to an observation desk with an awe-inspiring, 360-degree panoramic view over the Caribbean Sea and the entire resort complex. Two separate, full body water slides--one enclosed and one open and each a whopping 330 and 340 feet in length--twist and turn around the lighthouse for a shooting good time. After zooming down the slide, guests will refresh with a splash arriving in one of the resort's swimming pools or the azure blue ocean. The lower level of the Lighthouse includes an air-conditioned arcade featuring a variety of video games.
