Guests at Sandals Dunn’s River resort are guaranteed a “stellar” stay with the introduction of the luxury all-inclusive’s first “Stargazing Concierge,” part of a new and out-of-this world Celestial Experience at the newly re-imagined property in Jamaica.
Timed to reflect celebrations of the Summer solstice on Wednesday, the announcement revealed that, staring July 1, guests in the resort’s new Coyaba Sky Villa Swim-up Suites will be met with their very own Stargazing Concierge, a complimentary new Butler service offering.
Upon request, the Stargazing Concierge will arrange bespoke stargazing experiences for couples to enjoy on their private rooftops. Beyond creating a romantic respite under the stars, the Stargazing Concierge will also help guests identify constellations and meteor activity in the Caribbean sky.
And to commemorate their trip, Sandals is providing couples staying in the villas with a complimentary custom star map of their personal stargazing experience, created by The Night Sky.
The experience is one of many ‘Sandals Firsts’ at Dunn’s River, including the brand’s first open-air rooftop suites complete with state-of-the-art telescopes.
Sandals says its innovative new stargazing service is backed by research: Earlier this year, a survey conducted by the Sandals Institute of Romance cited that the vast majority of couples (80%) want to prioritize romance this year, with beach vacations (67%) and secluded places (57%) being the preferred settings for connection.
“We are constantly listening to our guests and looking for additional ways to give them that ‘stellar’ stay,” says resort GM Deryk Meany. “Creating the perfect cozy Caribbean evenings – from moonlit cocktails to wine and cheese pairings to decadent dessert offerings under a canopy of stars, creates a new moment to relax and connect while staying with us.”
Offering unmatched views of the Ocho Rios skyscape, the Coyaba Sky Villa Rondoval Suites also feature private soaking tubs, a sun-lounging area, and direct access to a sprawling river pool.
All guests at the 260 room, located on Jamaica’s north coast, will discover 12 Global Gourmet restaurants – with 10 concepts entirely new to the Sandals brand – as well as nine bars, including Dunn’s Rum Club, featuring the island’s signature libation.
