I loved Ochi!! Everyone was so nice especially Patrice on the entertainment team! She kept the pool fun and always made everyone happy! Will definitely be returning back!

Sandals Ocho is amazing! For those looking for the “quick review”, The staff is amazing, the food variety is excellent, and the number of pools, restaurants, bars, and activities ensure you never have a dull moment. For those still reading it’s shout out time. This trip would not have been possible without the tireless dedication of Susan Miller with Travel Connections in West Springfield, Massachusetts. We’ve been with her for over 20 years now and each vacation is more memorable than the last. Sue, you truly hit it out of the park again. Thank you!! We flew into Ian Fleming airport and it was a 20 minute hop to the resort. Please check out this gem if you are traveling to the Ochis Rios area. The Sandals welcome club were welcoming and friendly. The lounge was clean and inviting and in short order we were on our shuttle to the resort. After arrival and checking we were greeted by Saneika at the Vista Sky buffet. Her smile and energy was infectious after a long day of travel. She snapped a couple of photos for our anniversary and made us feel like we were home. We dined with her for breakfast a couple of times and we were greeted with love and affection. We will miss her very much! Our bartenders kept us refreshed with tasty tropical liquid libations. Big shout outs to Dave, Phillip, and Basil at the Ochi Beach pool bar. This list would not be complete without Ashton from the Ochi Beach lobby bar who greeted us with a smile and had my refills waiting for me before I could even open my mouth. The bar staff is truly wonderful. I’ve been saving the best for last…. It’s so very easy for the front desk or wait staff or bartenders to make your day and experience amazing. You see them multiple times a day. But when was the last time that housekeepers tickled your heart and touched your soul?? Jodi Ann who took care of us in 4522 is out of this world!! She touched our hearts not once, not twice but every time we came back to the room. Her towel designs were like little surprises every day. She truly needs to be recognized as she will always be loved and remembered fondly. I hope they heard me screaming her name from the top of Hillside. I apologize for the long winded review but Sandals Ochi you have amazing staff and all that I mentioned and many more made our vacation a truly special experience. One love!!

My husband and I went to sandals Ochi for our honeymoon and it was awesome. From the staff to the people we met, we had a great experience. The entertainment staff was upbeat and kept the vibes high, specifically Patrice, Kayan, Damian, Romario L and Romario W. Every day they were there with fun activities and good energy. The bar staff was great as well, Zoe and Alesha knew how to keep the party going. Johnoi, Sean and Basil memorized our drinks and had them ready to go when we swam up. Lastly, our butlers Keno and Kevin were the dream team they would check up on us at the pool, never hesitated to bring us food and drove us to our reservations every night, they were great. Another standout was Phillip at Le Gourmand, he was our waiter and was super attentive and friendly.

Sandals Ochi is very special to us. It was our very first Sandals experience so it's our second home. We've visited this Sandals 6 times and it gets better and better all the time. Can't say enough about the entire staff...too many to highlight but will give a quick shout out to Lance, our server at Sky and to Shereka, the workout instructor (we did the pool workout). This is a must visit on your bucket list.

I was disappointed with this resort as I do not think it measured up to the Sandals reputation. First, I will say the drinks were great and staff were fabulous. Very friendly, courteous and super helpful. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the rooms were cleaned and well maintained with the fridge fully stocked with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks - we appreciated the plentiful supply of water. The food was mediocre at best. While there were lots of restaurants to choose from, the food was not great. Lunch buffets did not provide many choices and the a la carte options were not well prepared. One night at Valentino's the vegetables on our plate was completely raw - i.e. carrots and eggplant did not touch any heat and was uncooked. A half of carrots (not sliced) and several rounds of raw eggplant! The pasta was mushy. Every salad had basically the same dressing. There was very little Jamaican cuisine available. The one exception was the Jerk Hut at the Hillside location - this was flavourful and overall very delicious! Entertainment was lacking. The Rabbit Hole - speakeasy club was very basic. While the 2 singers were good, the DJ was trash. Not a whole lot of other entertainment options at any of the 3 locations on this resort. The pool DJ was good and played a variety of music including Caribbean music i.e. Reggae and Soca. Overall this could have been any other 5 star hotel, but not with the ridiculous price tag.
