"It isn't the most glamorous, or the most upscale, of the Sandals resorts, but the chain's management makes it their flagship." Full review

Try to avoid booking one of the 10 rooms positioned immediately above the dining area; these don't have balconies and may be noisy.

"While a similar sense of merriment pervades all of the chain's resorts, including the more relaxed Negril property, this one parties hardest."

"The Jewel, an adults-only all-inclusive resort on a small stretch of beach, is a place where you can make friends, and there is enough entertainment to make it fun but not overwhelming." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"In the fall of 2010, the former Sandals property outside Ocho Rios was reborn as a couples-only, 250-room Jewel resort with a posh, gentry-in-the-tropics vibe." Full review

Book a late-afternoon spa treatment and take advantage of the evening spa party, where cocktails are flavored by locally harvested ingredients.

"Every guest room has a Caribbean Colonial–style decor, complete with four-poster beds, marble-topped tables, and balconies. The best rooms with the best views are in the Diamond Building" Full review

Ask for a room facing the center of the property—they all have angled balconies for sea views—as those on the back, facing the neighboring Riu property, catch the noise of its disco late into the night.
