Sandals Grande Ocho Rios - any good?

Has anyone been to Sandals Grande Ocho Rios? Any good? Would you recommend it for a honeymoon in March?

Thanks!!!

I actually prefer Sandals Dunn's River. It's a much smaller resort, but the beach is particularly nice (better than at the Grande, in my opinion), and you can still play on the golf course at the Grande (transportation included). But if you like the big-resort atmosphere or want one of the cushier suites, then the Grande might be a better choice.

Thank you so much for the info! So I am looking to book with this resort. Is Sandals something you can comparison shop for or are the prices pretty consistent off of their website?

Sandals often offers the best prices through travel agents (though sometimes on its own Web site). I'd shop around for air/resort packages because you'll realize the most savings that way. It's imperative that you bundle these costs together.

So I booked Sandals Ocho Rios.

Do you think it is imporant to book any spas, tours, etc in advance? Sandals seems to really push that, but wasnt sure how necessary it was.

Ideas?
