I had an amazing experience at Sandals Ochi. From the beautiful property and great atmosphere to the friendly and welcoming staff, everything made the trip enjoyable. The service was excellent, the food was great, and there was always something to do. The resort has a great vibe and is perfect for relaxing, having fun, and enjoying time with friends. I would definitely come back and recommend Sandals Ochi to anyone looking for a great vacation in Jamaica! ????????

We have just returned from a 7 night stay at Sandals Ochi (6th time in Jamaica and 17th Sandals). This is a really large resort but what makes it unique is that it is divided by a main road so there are two distinct sides- Beachside and Hillside.We stayed on the Hillside in a Butler poolside villa which is basically like a private four room villa with two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs ( NV1) In the whole week we only saw one neighbor for a few seconds so it was really like having your own private villa with pool. I really enjoyed sitting outside in the morning with a coffee watching the sun come up! We also enjoyed sitting outside with a nightcap and stroking the pussies that visited. The main pool on the hillside is the manor which has tons of activities and things always going on but as we are beach people we had our butler pick us up in a golf cart and either take us to the restaurants or to “the hop” Which is what they call the shuttle service between the Hillside and Beachside which was great. We had some really excellent food at Kelly’s Dockside and Valentinos and the rest of the food was perfectly good. There are three Sandals close together- Sandals Ochi, Sandals Royal Plantation and Sandals Dunn’s River which you get a shuttle to from 5.15-9.15 which was fabulous and interesting to see as we have a booking there for next year. There was a noticeable difference in the demographic to this resort than other Sandals we have visited- much younger with many young couples and large groups of females both young and old, but it is a lively place for sure. One thing not to miss is the Rabbit Hole speakeasy where you have to provide a password to the doorman which changes every day but is a lot of fun with singers at 9.00 and 10.00 pm and we really enjoyed it each time we went. Overall we had a great time and would go again as we found the pricing to be very attractive by utilizing the 777 deals that come out on the Sandals website every Wednesday which compared to other resorts was very good- I can recommend but it really depends what you’re looking for.

Spent 12 days at Ochi staying in NG1 bungalow on hillside. We have stayed there on a number of occasions in the last 15 years. We had 3 butlers during our stay, Omar, Jazeen and Dwight. This was down to holiday cover as you usually only get 2. Butler service was excellent throughout and would definitely recommend. Accommodation was excellent in a recently refurbed suite and enjoyed privacy of only one club room next to us. Restaurants were excellent with exception of Southern table (evening service) - Food was just ok but smell of old fat in restaurant was gross. Highlights by some margin were Kelly’s (great to catch up with the marvellous Milton again) and Le Gourmand, where food was constantly excellent. I do regard this restaurant as the best ‘French’ in the Sandals chain and the French onion soup is to die for. The only thing better than the soup in this restaurant were our server Nasheca and the maitre d’, Janheel, both of whom were outstanding throughout our stay. Thank you so much ladies ! Went Scuba diving on a number of occasions and the dive team at Ochi are first class. Always great banter on board, but totally professional in their dive ethics. Thank you so much Dennis, Cheval, Bancroft, Winston and the rest of the team All in all, a fantastic trip. We will be back !

From the moment we arrived at Sandals Ochi, we felt so incredibly welcome. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful, exceptionally well maintained and clearly looked after with so much care and pride. What really made our holiday, though, were the people. Every single member of staff we encountered, from the cleaners and gardeners to the bar staff, waiting staff and entertainment team, was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The wonderful staff really do help make this resort such a special place. A very special shout-out has to go to Kevin and Neill, our pool cabana butlers, who were absolutely fantastic and took such great care of us. We’d also like to mention Shereka, the aqua aerobics teacher, who was brilliant and brought so much energy and fun to our holiday. Kevin, Neill and Shereka are an absolute credit to the resort and helped make our stay even more memorable. The food was another huge highlight. It was outstanding throughout our stay. We ate at most of the restaurants on the resort and genuinely didn’t have a single bad meal. The quality and choice were fantastic. We honestly cannot recommend Sandals Ochi highly enough. We had the most amazing time, were made to feel welcome from beginning to end, and came home with some wonderful memories. Thank you to everyone at Sandals Ochi for making our holiday so special. We really hope to return very soon! ????

We held our wedding at Sandals Ochi with 40 guests, and it was the best decision we could have made. Unique Caribbean Holidays, the UK representative for Sandals, was extremely helpful in booking our holiday and connecting us with the Sandals Wedding Team. They provided clear guidance throughout the planning process and ensured we understood exactly what documentation was required for our marriage licence. Our wedding planner, Terry-Ann Davis, could not have been more relational or supportive in her approach. She was patient, understanding of our budget, and genuinely invested in helping us shape the day we envisioned. She was clear and organised in terms of timelines and planning, which was especially important as we lead busy lives and occasionally fell behind on agreed actions. Terry-Ann kept us on track with kindness and professionalism. She offered thoughtful suggestions where she felt our ideas could be enhanced, always respecting our preferences and budget. Closer to the wedding day, Kerry-Ann, Michelle, and the wider wedding team were exceptional. Their attention to detail and commitment to bringing our vision to life made our Punjabi-Jamaican fusion wedding unforgettable. We also held events leading up to the day, including a traditional Mayan ceremony, and our butlers Amiga, Sashimia, and their supervisor (whose name I regretfully cannot recall were incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and supportive. It was humbling to see how much they genuinely wanted our celebrations to go well. Sashimia and Amiga made both our pre- and post-wedding stay blissful and stress-free their service was second to none. The wider hotel staff, including the nurses who assisted me after an accident, were also wonderful. The resort itself feels like a beautiful, expansive garden, with pools, koi ponds, and beaches that make the entire experience feel like a dream. There is so much more we could say, but in summary we could not have asked for a better stay. The staff were fantastic, the food was excellent, the entertainment was great, and the wedding was perfect. We would wholeheartedly recommend Sandals Ochi and would happily stay again
