Beaches Boscobel, Jamaica


Hi!
It's Raegan and I went on a travel agent familiarization trip to Jamaica in March, 2009. I stayed at Beaches Boscobel in a concierge level room. This hotel is nice, great for families, with a huge waterpark and the Sesame Street characters on site. The food was excellent, especially the jerk chicken. Beaches is part of the Sandals family and so the service is unmatched! The people were very friendly. The beach is narrow at this resort but very pretty and the water is darker blue because of the reef. I also toured Royal Plantation, Sandals' elite brand resort. It is very luxurious and amazingly beautiful. We also toured Sandals Grande Ocho Rios which is huge, it is built on both sides of the road so they have a beach side and a mountain side. There are dozens of room categories to choose from. It is a beautiful resort as well. My favorite resort that we toured is Sandals Dunn's River. It is smaller than Sandals Grande (I prefer a smaller resort) but very lovely. The beach and water are beautiful and the pool area is very nice. There are many restaurants to choose from and you have exchange privileges between the two Sandals resorts so you can stay at one, play at two. The only drawback to Ocho Rios is the two hour drive from the Montego Bay airport but it is definitely worth the trip!
