The hotel

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.

This was my husband and my third Sandals resort. We did not originally book for this resort, but ended up coming here last minute! This was not my top pick resort (at first) and we had low expectations with not booking butler level this time, but we were blown away by the staff! Nicolas took us to our room and handled our luggage. We were upgraded so we had a farther walk than originally planned, so he was awesome and let us know just to call and he would be up ASAP to help us up/down the hill. We ran into him several times, and he always had a big smile and checked on us. For the dining: We always choose Sandals because they are so good with allergies, but I truly cannot explain how thankful I am for the above and beyond the staff went. Chef Kerri Ann took it upon herself to come out and introduce herself and assure me she would take care of anything I needed. She even specialized a dessert for me! She even called to the French restaurant the next day to talk to that chef to ensure I was once again taken care of. Thank you! Philip took care of us at the French restaurant and had excellent table service manners. Janiel went above and beyond too to make sure I once again had a great dining experience with my food allergies and made me a dessert. I even went one night I really wanted something sweet, and she had an extra GF/DF chocolate cake she was able to make for me!! This made my night! At Neptunes with Chef Kerri Ann, Valencia and Shantoya also had amazing table service and were so genuine. I even stopped and chatted with them when we weren’t dining there. Shantoya was genuinely funny and it was really cool to hear her goals in traveling one day. Angelique took amazing care of both my husband and I at the Tapas bar for lunch and helped us at Manor for dinner. She remembered our room number and my allergies specifically. She even related to the dairy free struggle. Kelley’s Dockside was another great experience, and the chef created a special dessert as well. I wish I could remember specific names here, but the service, views, and food were amazing. Zoe and Maxwell rocked it at the main pool on the hill side! This resort had something for everyone: quiet, music, party, dancing, tranquility. It was a much bigger resort than we anticipated, but once we got the hang of it, it was great! The Hop was always running. Can’t wait for our next trip!! Read less

We went for 5 day 4 nights trip as an 34th anniversary celebration and experienced the worst Sandals stay that we have had out of 5-6 different trips. Arrival day- was supposed to be co-located with friends in butler village. This was requested upon trip purchase by both groups. Also during 2-3 calls to resort. We ended up on opposite sides of the village. Upon arrival at the resort it took over an hour for butler to arrive and get us situated. Once in the villa we requested 2 restaurant reservation. Did not happen. Only got 1 at a time more than 2.5 hours later than requested and was not told about time/day until end of second day. Day 2 - meals at no reservation restaurant (Southern Table) was terrible. 1 steak arrive well done requested medium the other came out blue/rare. Day 3. - butlers took over an hour to bring a cooler with beer to our location at beach. This is when the butler said “they were able to get us a reservation at the Italian restaurant that day at 5:30”. Arrived at Valentino’s for dinner and there wasn’t a reservation but we were seated. It must have been hard to get the reservation as when we arrived there was only 10 people (we were 4 of the 10). The lasagna was ok but the seafood with linguine and butter wine sauce came out completely dry, cooked pasta and shellfish but no sauce at all. Attached photo is the "busy" restaurant with no available seats, that remained at this capacity for an hour. Went to concierge to talk to a manager and was referred to the Butler Manager. Manager called 1-2 hours later and informed me she was out that day but would have Director of services get with me. After 4 hours I had not received any contact from management so called Butler Manager again. She replied they had tried to reach me on both the room phone and butler phone phone but could not reach me. The butler phone was beside me at outside table while the wife was resting inside with room phone 10 feet away. NEITHER phone ever rang, more excuses. Day 4 - was ok but still had very slow response from butlers. Day 5- was departure day. Arrived at butler services and asked to speak to manager about subpar stay and they didn’t show up until 5-10 minutes before we had to leave. That said they were just there to give lip service not to listen and fix the problems. We ended up only getting to go to 1 of 2 restaurants request. Sad to see that the Sandals standards does not apply equally to all resorts that carry the name. It is obvious that management at this resort only wants your money and doesn’t care about your experience or to make it better for others. Also if you accept any form of compensation they want you to sign an NDA so you don’t let other people know about your experience. I DO NOT recommend Sandals Ochi Jamaica especially the butler program at this resort. Read less
