Sandals Dunn's River Villaggio Golf Resort & Spa ReviewLocated on a wide, sugary beach, this is the finest of the Sandals resorts, at least in the opinion of some guests who have sampled them all. Set on the beachfront between Ocho Rios and St. Ann's Bay, the resort is very sports oriented. It occupies 10 well-landscaped hectares (25 acres), offering attractively furnished and often quite spacious accommodations. Most rooms have an Italianate/Mediterranean motif. The elegant guest rooms are scattered among the six-story main building, two lanai buildings, and a five-story west wing. Extras include spacious balconies, walk-in closets, and king-size beds. Before retreating to the dance club or enjoying the nightly entertainment, guests can choose among several dining options, selecting from an array of restaurants that attempt variety in lieu of first-rate cuisine. The Marco Polo serves international food within a venue of fabric-covered walls and rosewood furniture; Ristorante Colombo serves Caribbean specialties; Il Capitano offers Italian cuisine; and Kimonos serves teppanyaki-style Japanese cuisine. Facilities: 5 restaurants; 6 bars (2 swim-up); 2 outdoor pools; 3 whirlpools; shuttle to 18-hole golf course; pitch-and-putt golf course; 4 tennis courts; health club; billiards; croquet; shuffleboard; volleyball; spa; 3 Jacuzzis; saunas; steam rooms; canoes; kayaks; sailboats; scuba diving; snorkeling; water-skiing; windsurfing; laundry service; dry cleaning; dance club; public Internet, nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
