Sandals Dunn’s River in Ocho Rios, Jamaica is having quite a moment. The flagship Sandals property — fully reimagined and reopened in 2023 — recently hosted live broadcast segments for NBC’s TODAY Show with Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones, sponsored jointly by Sandals Resorts and the Jamaica Tourist Board. At the same time, the resort unveiled its brand new Louis Grant Conference Center, an 8,000-square-foot meeting and events facility that seats up to 500 guests.
Why the TODAY Show at Sandals Is a Big Deal for Jamaica Travel
Having NBC’s TODAY Show broadcast live from a Sandals resort is national television exposure that money can’t easily buy. Morning shows like TODAY draw millions of viewers who are actively planning vacations, and seeing Sandals Dunn’s River as the backdrop — with its lush gardens, ocean views, and world-class amenities on full display — plants a powerful seed for future bookings. The Jamaica Tourist Board co-sponsoring the segment signals how seriously Jamaica is investing in driving premium travel interest in 2026.
Meet the Louis Grant Conference Center
The newly opened Louis Grant Conference Center is a significant addition to Sandals Dunn’s River. Named in honor of Louis Grant — a hospitality legend with over 25 years at Sandals — the center offers 8,000 square feet of flexible event space accommodating up to 500 guests. This opens Sandals Dunn’s River to the incentive travel and destination weddings market in a serious way, allowing companies to combine a world-class all-inclusive experience with productive meeting and event space in Jamaica.
