Fodor's "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.
Star Service "Once the Jewel Beach Resort and Spa, this all-inclusive, adults-only gem continues to shine after its 2011 debut back on the scene." Full review
Frommer's "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
