A 1,300-foot beach features one section facing an open bay and another facing a semi-enclosed bay with cruise-ship dock. Thatched huts offer shade along the long stretches of sand.
Fringed by palm tree and boulders and spanned by a rope-and-wood suspension bridge, a lagoon-style pool sprawls several hundred feet in the Sunset Jamaica Grand's center and features a volleyball net, a two-story 150-foot wide rock waterfall, and two five-person spa tubs near the waterfall. A free-form pool fronts each of the resort's two lodging towers.
A 60-foot "lighthouse" waterslide offers panoramic views with a lower level featuring an air-conditioned arcade area.
Water sports equipment provided as part of the All Inclusive Plan includes kayaks, pedal boats, water cycles, and snorkeling gear for use within designated areas just off the beach. Snorkeling and scuba diving excursions to reefs are available for surcharges, as is a scuba-diving certification course. Other water sports for which surcharges apply are Jet Skiing, parasailing, sailing, and windsurfing. Also available for surcharges are glass-bottom-boat and semi-submarine rides and motorboats.
Use of two lighted tennis courts is part of the All Inclusive Plan. Sandals Golf Course 7.5 miles (12 km) away is open for public play.
