Sandals Ochi Beach Resort | Ocho Rios, Jamaica | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

4 stars

The largest in the Sandals chain, this adult resort offers two holidays for the price of one. Atop a fabulously verdant hillside you'll find the Butler Village, a collection of luxury villas with shared pools surrounded by bright flowers, and the Great House, which boasts a stunning main pool with intimate cabanas. Experience an evening of live music and old-fashioned cocktails at the first speakeasy bar in the Caribbean — but, do you know the password?! Jump aboard the "Hop" bus and head across the road to the Riviera Seaside and Ochi Beach Club, fronting a beautiful stretch of white sand with a boardwalk that extends out to sea. Enjoy a beachside cocktail, soak up some sun or sail the waves of the Caribbean sea on the infamous sunset catamaran cruise, alternatively, the resorts Playmakers will be sure to get the party started with various pool games! Perhaps pool volleyball is not on your agenda? — no problem! Scattered across the resort, you will find various quiet pools for a more relaxed vibe and don't forget, a sumptuous treatment at the Red Lane® Spa will help ease you into your tropical Caribbean getaway. The Amphitheatre is the entertainment hub of the resort, hosting live Reggae nights, Talent Shows and live dancers, the perfect way to experience and celebrate the Jamaican culture. Keep a look out for the daily 'Footprint', the resorts very own newspaper, highlighting the days events and activities.

“Anniversary Trip 2025”

Oct 29, 2025Sandra C

I apologize for my delayed review but I just came across their names. We met two remarkable young men during our trip to Sandals Ochi in July 2025 (Romario and Damaine).They were among the most humble, polite, and professional staff we encountered during our stay. Romario even took the time to teach my husband a few dance moves, which made for such a fun and memorable moment! Both of them went above and beyond to make our time at the resort enjoyable. Damaine and Romario, we truly appreciate your kindness and great energy. We look forward to seeing you both again on our next visit! I wish I had better photos but these are a few screenshots I came across online.

“Sandals Ochi Don't Go There.”

Oct 27, 2025dave052628

We were on the ocean side of Sandals Ochi. All staff was very nice. You had to take stairs everywhere. Not a good resort for someone with physical challenges. Food was bland. My husband had a grilled fish burger from the Mariner. Instead of a grilled fish filet like the menu said, it was what looked like a frozen fish patty and my beef burger was not a fresh beef patty. It also looked like a frozen beef patty. Definitely not gourmet dining. One pool with a swim up bar needed to be closed and drained for repair. Missing tile everywhere. The ceiling in our room leaked when the shower in the room above us was being used. The restrooms at one beach were out of order the entire time we were there. The padded cushions at the amphitheater might as well been removed. No padding. The 6a wake up call requested on our departing day came at 6:23a. Lots and lots of small things needing repaired. Ceiling in seating area at main bar was peeling. Toilet paper holder in one bar was coming off the wall. The large ‘flower pot’ at the entrance by the stairs going to customer service was full of rocks, etc, etc.

“Excellent, would come again!”

I came here with my wife for our honey moon and hade a short stay but it was excellent. We left early due to a hurricane that was coming in from the south but we had time for our candle light dinner. Our waitresses for the night were excellent! They moved us out of the rain. Took care of our every need. We felt taken care of and important. Specifically (AALIYAH & SANTAY). We loved our short stay. And will be returning when there’s not a hurricane around the corner.
