 Benefit of attending Sandals Reunion Week? 

Hello, we've been to sandals a couple times. I'm ready to book a trip for early April. My first instinct is to stay away during reunion week because I didn't want it to be too crowded and less chance of an upgrade. For those who have attended reunion week, what are the "extra" advantages to attending versus staying another week?

Actually I like to book during reunion week if at all possible. There many "extra" activities for returning guests every day. Usually an outing to a beach with a cookout or special luncheon. Lots of things you can join or not. I have not noticed it any more crowded than weeks that weren't reunion. I did get an upgrade once during the week and have heard of others that did as well. And then the end of the week dinner is a true treat. Special meal, entertainment just for the returning guests. AND you will be in Jamaica mon, enjoy.

I ditto TullyNY comments. I never thought I would go to a RW but did by chance around 5 years ago. Now, we go back just for RW and we have gone to SGR for 14 years. The special events for returning guests off the resort, special dinner, little gifts, etc. We are booked already for April 2012 and so looking forward to being with our Sandals family that goes the same time that we have become good friends with.

Reunion week is always the Monday thru Friday following Easter. Obviously it changes from year to year as does Easter.

We booked for two weeks - April 4 to April 18 2012. csmith, there is a Fans of Sandals Grande Riveria Page (formerly Grande Ocho Rios) on Facebook. There are two sites actually so check them out. The one with the floatie as the profile pictures has several people that have gone to this resort or looking to go.

They also did an extra reunion week this year in the fall, not sure what the dates were and if they will do so again next year, it was the 30th anniversary this year, so it may have been a special thing, we missed it by about a week or so this time!
