From championship golf and a renowned scuba program to world-class dining at 11 restaurants and private strolls along Ocho Rios’ longest beach; from luxurious Butler Service suites with 24-hour room service to a full-service Red Lane� Spa and unlimited land & water sports, this exquisite sanctuary offers something to tempt every guest.

Location: Beachfront in Ocho Rios. 1 hour and 45 minutes from the airport.

Our Opnion

The Sandals Ochi Beach Resort is a huge resort set amongst beautiful gardens in a very relaxed setting. The back section of the resort is where you will find The Ciboney Villa Suites, these are very impressive with private pools, but are a bit farther from the beach. A multi-million dollar renovation in 2015 features a fresh, modern design aesthetic along with seven uniquely new Gourmet Discovery Dining options and a trendy Ochi Beach Club. Like most Sandals resorts, this one is definitely recommended for couples looking for romance and relaxation.

We just came back from our 7 day vacation. This resort has some age but I actually like the taste its traditional settings like the layout of all the rooms and amenities. The food was nice as usual as other Sandals, the people over there are very nice and always trying to make sure you are doing well.

Very coardenating style.

This was an amazing holiday, but the one thing that made it Magical was Robert & Peta-Gaye our Butlers.

This team is the reason we have decided to come back to Ochi! Thanks for making our short stay in Jamaica Amazing!

First time ever at Sandals Ochi and we had the best time ever! The Resort was absolutely gorgeous and spotlessly clean, very well maintained pools and gardens. A gorgeous setting.

We stayed in the Butler Village and our accommodation was just beautiful, newly refurbished bungalow with our own pool, it had everything we needed. Our 2 Butlers, Scott & Dontae were absolutely amazing and looked after us soooo well, ensuring we had everything we needed and they went the extra mile to ensure we had a fabulous stay. We cannot thank them enough for looking after us, absolute gentlemen!

Every member of staff at this Resort is amazing, they always had a smile on their faces and couldn’t do enough for you. Sandals Ochi are so lucky to have such great staff!

Special mention also to our housemaid, Sherika. She kept our bungalow spotless and arranged coffee and creamer when we ran out, even though she was going off shift. She was just great.

The catamaran cruise to Dunn’s River Falls is an absolute must! Organised by Island Routes it was fab. The crew on board were fantastic and had everyone dancing and singing all the way there and back!!

Thank you everyone at Ochi, we loooved everything about this Resort and we’ll definitely be back!

We stayed at Sandals Ochi for 9 nights from late February 2024 into early March. This is our tenth time at this resort, so you know we like it. It is a big resort with buses (The Hop) to help you get around. In particular, Tenaj at Sky Vista was very helpful and always had a big smile for us.

We found the entertainment at the amphitheatre to be too loud much of the time. The sound was distorted, which made voices harder to understand. We were able to hear the entertainment at a comfortable volume from our balcony.

This is a lovely resort with beautiful gardens, lovely beaches and terrific food. We stayed on the resort almost the whole time. And it's the most economical Sandals, too. You won't be disappointed.

Great resort, something for everyone. Perfect weather. Not the biggest beach but plenty of lovely pools to take advantage of. Lots of great food and drinks flow all day!

Will be back loved it service was #1 food great recommend kimonos 👌

Me and my husband really enjoyed our visit to Sandals Ochi. The resort has a variety of activities so you never get board; however, if you want to relax, that is also available. The resort has a large number of restaurants with a variety of food options. In addition the food is very delicious. In the evenings after dinner, the resort has a variety of shows and games which are fantastic. I stayed in one of the butler suites and my butlers Akeem and Donovan were the best. Akeem and Donovan are extremely knowledgeable about the entire resort. Akeem and Donovan made me and my husband's vacation so special. This is my second time staying at the resort and we had Akeem and Donovan for our first trip and when we returned, we request them again. They did such an awesome job both times and for this reason, I will be returning again.

Shout out to :

Damonie provided great service around the pool area. Keep up the great job man. Everyday this young man greeted me and asked if everything was good and if he can do anything for me and my family.

Ralston always around the pool area by the towels, he always happy/friendly. Thank you Ralston for the towels everyday. You are a gentlemen.

Rudolph doing a great job at the beach ⛱️ . Good looking out and keep working hard. Iam glad you explain everyone the rules and regulations on the beach and in the water. Rudolph saves lives , believe it or not.

Dave works on the beach with Rudolph, and he's awesome. Dave's knows how to ride those boats safely. He makes sure all the people are alive and safe.

At the buffet Kijile, Danisha, Treshawna , all 3 of them were excellent. Even the manager man , his name is Parcival and he traveled the world and went on cruise ships, sorry if I got your name wrong . I Couldn't keep up with all the employee's .

Oh and at the Bar Maradonna was awesome how can I forget his name...he makes great drinks. One of the best drinks made is by Maradona. Must get a drink made by Maradona.

I kept bumping into Ronaldo and when I looked across Maridonna was there , I was like wow Maridonna and Ronaldo....I had to ask them if thise were their real names...I never in my life met a Ronaldo and Maridona at the same time...what a coincidence. Anyways Ronaldo is very friendly.

Hakeem is a great young man...he brought up my suitcases to my room carefully.

I wish I could have stayed longer. Beautiful resort. Great Food, Room, Employees, I truly loved this place.

I can't believe I remembered alot of employees names. I never do at all the other resorts .

I hope this review is brought up to management and all the employees I mentioned get credit.

This review is from Canada 🇨🇦

Our first time at a Sandals resort and it did not disappoint! You can tell the difference in service and amenities compared to non Sandals. I highly recommend Ochi if you like a more lively resort.

Loaded with Feral cats all over the property and they ENCOURAGE it. The are in very restaurant and some disgusting guests fed them from the table. I will never return.
Grow a brain and Follow what Australia does with Feral cats!
Snorkel dive off the resort had ZERO fish of any kind.
Beer was served warm half the time.

We absolutely loved this resort! All the employees at Sandals were beyond amazing! Davion was our favorite! There's two sides to the resort almost like two different places to explore. The beach side is beautiful, and the pool on the hill side is the place to be! Jamaica is so beautiful and the vibe is unlike any other. Everyone is so friendly, and we felt really safe the entire time. Whether we were on excursions through the resort, or got a ride into town (the driver stays with you the whole time.) You MUST do the Bob Marley 9 Mile Tour, its a great place to start experiencing the culture!

I went on a friend-trip to Sandals Ochi in Feb 2024. Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect from Sandals but overall it was awesome! You could tell the rooms were a little dated, and there were some quirks like the toilet taking forever to flush and the water pressure of the sinks, but nothing awful. They were doing construction on the rooms in our unit so I imagine they’re doing some upgrades.

The grounds were so pretty and well maintained. All the staff were great. They were attentive but not over the top. There’s different pools, 2 small beach areas, and tons of dining options. The age of the guests definitely skews older, but as a group of 30 year olds we still had fun. Just be prepared to make small talk with boomers 😂

Pro tip: Fly into Montego Bay, not Kingston.

Shout out to: Our Driver David, Michael at the front desk, and the Bartender at Oceans (Keneil?)

We won't come back here anymore. Price and performance are disproportionate to one another.
The best: location, gardens, selection of drinks and wine.
No go: no internet in the room and in many other places (not slow, but NO internet)! Out of 16 restaurants we found 1 to be really good, many just about average. The surf and turf in the Sky Restaurant couldn't be cut down even with a steak knife.
Extremely slow service in many locations.
Outdated, some of them are clearly showing their age (dirty windows, peeling paint, rusty, brittle). The refrigerator in the room hummed like a generator at times.
Beach loungers were often no longer available at 11 a.m., not even at the pools.
Europeans who are used to a certain standard will not be happy with Sandals Ochi. Never mind. There are almost only North Americans here anyway.

My wife and I just returned from Sandals Ochi after going for a few days for our anniversary. The trip was great! I cannot say enough good things about the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Paul in Loyalty and Jadique at the Ocean Beach Bar. The staff really made you feel welcome and I will legitimately miss interacting with them. Respect!

Yes, rooms are outdated but we weren’t there for the rooms. Food was great, service was great, and nightlife was great.

I an BEYOND upset and expected more from Sandals. I am pregnant and bought this trip before we knew I was. I bought the protection plan as a just in case anything was to happen. Little do the tell you flights are non-refundable. If I didn't have a higher risk pregnancy, we would still be going. I am frustrated because when you book flights with them it doesn't tell you it is basic economy or else I wouldn't have booked them! I called their support line and did not even get one apology or any empathy. They said I could extend my trip but that won't help me because then I am having a baby! Like this is ridiculous. Also to use the flight credit you have to call Sandals to use it.

UPDATE: After 3 hours on the phone with United and Sandals every single person has told me incorrect information. This has been a nightmare. I will NEVER book a Sandals trip again.

Stayed here for my husband's birthday. It was delightful.

Just returned home from Sandals Ochi... My husband and I enjoyed the resort so much so that we extended our stay two additional days! We stayed on the Beach side because we love the ocean; however we also enjoyed taking the Hop to the Hillside and being at the main pool there. We absolutely loved all of the entertainment each day and night! All of the staff members were kind and very talented! (Singing, Dancing, etc) At some point, I am sure that we will visit Sandals Ochi again. We did book our next years vacation while onsite! The only thing may someone maybe would complain about is some of the rooms are dated; however they were renovating while we were there. We do not spend that much time in our room so that was not a concern of ours. The room was always stocked and kept clean!

Some rooms are a little worn but overall excellent. Butler service is awesome and the food is topshelf.
