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 our first time at Sandals Ochi and second time at a Sandals hotel. We had a brilliant time, we were well looked after and there were so many standout moments on our trip. Ochi was a large resort with so much to explore and do. We loved the variety of restaurants and evening entertainment (and we don't usually go in for evening entertainment!) The resort was stunning and our room was large and clean. The journey from the airport was long and we arrived just before 10pm so the welcome was a bit lacking (no welcome drink) and it took a while to check us in. We knew to use the app to find food as we were very hungry on arrival, but might be worth letting late arrivals know where the late-night cafes are. As with our previous Sandals trip, the food was standout, and we love our food! The oysters and lobster surf and turf at Vista Sky were excellent. We also loved Reef (I'll be thinking about the Snapper for a long time!) and Manor and whilst we don't usually go for desserts, they were incredible everywhere. Kelly's was a nice atmosphere, and Valentino's and Le Gourmand were also great. Soy was the restaurant we were most looking forward to after our last trip- it was delicious and we tried nearly the whole menu during our stay! One advantage of the size of this resort was also the lunch options: tapas had some great options (although sometimes the dishes were better on some days than other), jerk shack, but Sweet Wood was our favourite place (slow cooked meat, crispy shrimp and incredible sides/sauces). Breakfast was nice- lots of nice options at the buffet including a wide variety of pastries and different types of pancakes every day. It was great to have the option of a buffet on both sides. We were a bit disappointed with the a la carte breakfast- the menu was less exciting than the previous resort and it didn't really have a wow factor. We love the range of drinks available at Sandals and the nice touches like different cocktail menus at bars and signature drinks at restaurants. Other hotel chains are sometimes reluctant to be making cocktails but we never found this to be the case at Sandals. Also love that they've added Botanist gin to the bars and we're big fans of Appleton. We loved the different options of areas to relax around the resort. We avoided the main pools on both sides because they were quite loud with music and entertainment. There was always a sunbed somewhere but the beach was hard to find a bed on. The beach was lovely, but the ocean beach club sand was more rocky than sandy in places. The Hop was usually very easy to get around the resort, might be worth putting on an extra bus after the main show finishes at Riviera as there was 2 bus-loads of people waiting then. We loved having the semi-private pool as an option too. In the evening, the resort has such a lovely feel and makes the most of sea views for bars and restaurants. Whilst the sea was a bit choppy for a paddle board/kayak, we enjoyed our Snorkelling Trip from the beach. The evening entertainment was varied and creative. We loved the Rabbit Hole, the Steel Pans, the Piano Sing-alongs and the Candlelight show. The white party was exceptional and memorable with the electric violinist, singer and champagne-pouring-acrobat, and silent disco. The staff were amazing, everyone was warm and friendly. We were incredibly well looked after by the whole team at the Riviera Pool bar, especially Basil and Amekie who brought us more drinks without us as asking. Jovan at Vista and Alloy at Kelly's were very attentive. Andrew at Soy's was brilliant and even recognised us around the resort. Howard at Ethel's bar had the best vibes and Stevaugn at Polo Bar was good fun. And the piano guys- KC and Andrew were wonderful. Thank you Sandals Ochi for a brilliant stay! Read less
