Sandals Dunn’s River offers three different room types:
- Sandals Luxury (the budget option)
- Club Sandals (the concierge option)
- Butler Elite (the luxurious option with a private butler)
These rooms are known for:
- Being bigger than most Sandals rooms
- Being new and fresh, since they were completed in 2023
- Some Butler Elite Suites with sky pools and swim-up pools right at your doorstep
I’m pleased to share that every room at Sandals Dunn River is brand new, thanks to its launch in 2023. The buildings here are also larger than usual, meaning that many of the standard Luxury rooms require access from an interior hallway and lobby. While some guests may not prefer this layout, the rooms generally offer more space compared to other Sandals resorts.

This resort also features several new room options. Although Luxury rooms are limited to just two subcategories, there are six different Club Sandals and Butler Elite Suites available. Some Butler Suites include private pools and even sky pools for those special romantic moments. As expected, prices are higher during the peak season from January to March, then tend to decrease from July to October.
Now, let’s take a look at the starting prices for a couple spending one week at Sandals Dunn River.
As you can see, prices are above average for a Sandals resort. We’ll dive into the specific room categories next, but keep in mind that Sandals Dunn’s River is almost two times more expensive than Sandals Ochi. This is due to Dunn’s River being one of the newest resorts in Jamaica - and within the Sandals portfolio - featuring a more modern layout, better beach, pools, and exclusive dining options.
Room Levels
Sandals Luxury
- Good for: you are on a budget; you don’t plan to spend a lot of time in your room
- Price range: typically starting from $310 per guest/per night.
The name can be a bit misleading, as Sandals Luxury is actually the budget option at the resort. At Sandals Dunn’s River, Sandals Luxury includes only two subcategories. Both rooms are quite similar and offer views of the tropical garden. The key difference is that one of them features a tranquility soaking tub, perfect for those looking to enjoy a bath reminiscent of some medieval TV series. It’s a cool and romantic touch!
Now, let’s take a look at the prices for a couple staying at Sandals Dunn’s River for one week, compared to Sandals Ochi. Keep in mind that Sandals Ochi will always be more affordable, as it is an older resort.
- In March 2025, prices start at $6,800, while Sandals Ochi starts at $4,300.
- In October 2025, prices start at $6,300, while Sandals Ochi starts at $3,000.
Club Sandals
- Good for: you want a bit more luxury, you like the concierge perks offered.
- Price range: typically starting from $340 per guest/per night.
The mid-term rooms for Sandals Dunn’s River, which is actually quite luxurious. These rooms give you access to the Concierge perks, which include:
The Concierge Lounge: think of this one like those fancy airport lounges for first-class passengers. You get access to a place to relax, drink coffee, have a beer, and just enjoy your time. You can also check-in here and be directed to your room by a dedicated staff member.
Plush bathrobes: now you can feel all cozy when leaving the shower.
Special In-room bar: you have access to soda, wine, beer, juice, water, liqueur and can request specific alcoholic beverages.
…and more perks, like access to a weekly party to concierge members, special treats during your birthday, check out with a concierge agent and the list goes on.
Club Sandals rooms at Sandals Dunn’s River are a solid choice. While they tend to be about $800 more for a week compared to the Luxury Rooms, they offer larger accommodations that typically feature a balcony and are conveniently situated right by the beach. A lot of guests actually say that Club Sandals rooms are actually bigger than some Butler Suites from older Sandals resorts.
Let’s do the math once again and compare prices between Sandals Dunn’s River and Sandals Occhi:
- In March 2025, prices start at $7,500 for Dunn’s River, while Sandals Ochi starts at $4,600.

This is it, this is for guests that want top-mega-ultra luxury and enjoy their vacation at the fullest. The Butler Elite package offers a plethora of perks. You'll enjoy specialized room service and have a dedicated butler at your service, handling reservations, delivering breakfast to your bed, scheduling appointments, and much more. Additionally, some Butler Suites offer private pools that serve 2-3 rooms only, and some rooms come with a private pool for you only.
Now, you might wonder, are Butler Elite rooms worth it? We have written a special article on Butlers & Sandals, which also applies to Beaches Resorts. You can read it and draw your own conclusion. Ultimately, it all depends on your personal preferences, budget, and how much you intend to utilize the services of your butler.
Butler Elite suites are a very good option if you manage to book early to save some money. Some of these suites come with full living rooms and have a private swimming pool right outside their door, giving guests more luxury and privacy. Your personal bar is stocked with premium liqueurs and sparkling wines, and your butler can accommodate most alcoholic beverage requests.
