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.

We went away with another couple we have known for more than 50 years. We booked Montego Bay in 2024 but after the hurricane we switched to Sandals Ochi. We needed rooms that had walk-in showers-my husband has knee and hip replacements. They said the villas were available. They are across a road from the hotel and we asked how we get across for meals, beach etc. The reservations people said we were in Butler rooms and the Butler would take us in a golf cart whenever we wanted to go. Easy. What they don’t tell you is that the golf cart does not cross the road-the golf cart takes you to a waiting area where a small bus has to pick you up and take you. We are in our late 70-s with some mobility issues-waiting for a bus on the street every time we need to get to the pools and beach is difficult. Also time consuming. Remember too, they will promise you will be with your friends but then may put them in another villa. We asked for new rooms in the main hotel but none of their rooms have showers, they are all tub-showers. We stayed in the lobby for hours , then they put us in small rooms that night and they said they would send us to Dunn’s River the next day. We weren’t bused over to Dunn’s River until late afternoon. We lost two days of our six-day vacation. I left a jacket in the lobby or the restaurant and asked for lost and found the night I saw it was missing and the next day and I never got it back. We really never unpacked to see the pool, the grounds. Read less

Sitting at the airport having enjoyed a wonderful ten days at Ochi. Having stayed there three years ago we can really see the development with upgrading suites and the addition of food carts. We will certainly return… Massive shout outs to Nardia and Dwight who looked after us so well. G-Pat from the Spa was so attentive, helping provide specialist skin creams to try at no extra cost. Omar at the Southern Table for breakfast, Kayan, Double Trouble (Romario one and two) and Little T on the entertainments team…the list could go on and on. The returning guests evening at the start of our holiday was a lovely occasion, with outstanding surf and turf to eat. The opportunity to visit Dunn’s River resort was also a welcome addition, enjoying dinner and the evening show. There are people who dislike this resort, but we cannot speak highly enough for Sandals Ochi. Thank you so much to the staff who made our trip so memorable. Read less
