Sandals or Beaches? Which one and what location is best for 2 old Arkansas fogeys?

Stay away from Ocho Rios.

I'd almost stay away from jamaica all together.

Sandals.  It's couples only kids aren't allowed.  Beaches is owned by the same people as Sandals but its for families.  So if you want rest and relaxtion and no kids running around screwing.  Sandals.  Iw ent to the one in the Bahama's it was freaking awesome.  Loved every second of it.  Can't wait to go to another Sandals.

Very much so.  As long as you stay on the property, you should be fine.  IMHO, Jamaica markets itself very well but Sandals has better, safer islands to go to.

Take a look at Iberostar Grand in Montego Bay. Ranked #1 overall by Tripadvisor. Adults only also just like sandals.

Just returned from Couples Swept Away in Negril and far as I'm concerned you couldn't ask for a better all inclusive. The staff and the food were awesome and pretty much never left the beach for 6 days.

Stayed in the Sunset Beach Resort in Montego Bay 3 years ago. Had my college age kids with me so we were there during the Spring Break season. It made the scenery a little better and we had no issues with having that many college age kids around.

Very well priced. Five minute cab ride to Montego Bay. It is not a 5 Star but you don't pay 5 Star prices either. It has 3 pools and 3 different beaches, one of which is a clothes optional beach (it is out of sight on the far edge of the property if that is not something that interest's you). The food was good, drinks not real strong, rooms were more than nice. Beaches and sunsets were to die for.

Wherever you end up staying, a trip to Dunn's Falls is an absolute must.

My opinion is like everyone else's that you have heard....stay away from Ocho Rios....
