Sandals Ochi Beach All Inclusive Resort - Couples Only

So I will say it was not the best experience at our first 1st sandals resort. But if it was not for tue amazing staff it would hav even much worse! 1st our door key lock would not work so we had to get a new key over 30 times (no exaggeration, they even came and swapped my door handle/lock mechanism out .) they said it’s because the humidity is so high that a lot of the locks can not handle the water. My brother and a few other people had similar issues. They did say they are upgrading them in the next few months but didn’t really help us. We had no hot water on one day for almost 5 hours. The resort lost power a few times while we were there and the generators kicked on but for some reason our building would not. So we had no power for about an hour (of course while we were getting ready for dinner ). My wife was mid shower with shampoo in her hair when this happened so I had to hold my phone in the bathroom as a light so she could rinse her hair out. There was a day where we went swimming in the ocean and ran back to the room to shower and change and as we were about to get into the shower a staff member (not housekeeping) swiped a key card and walked right into our room without even the slightest knock as we were literally just taking off our suits.. that was the one that set my wife off the most. .. What I will say is THE STAFF WAS AMAZING! Just to name a few Bar staff : Odeanie Fabian Dave Susan Daniel Restaurant staff: Kirk (French restaurant) Mcgurvey (Italian restaurant) Andrew (soy) The dive shop: All the staff was super friendly and helpful but Denis went above and beyond to not only help us with diving and excursions but just over all experience with the resort! And the best hop driver we had was hands down Steven! (They were all amazing though)

Best bartenders eva!!! KADIA AND MAXWELL!!!! The greatest entertainment at Rabbit Hole great performer Lady Melissa. Great time at Miss Ethals!! Great food at Dockside, le Gormond, Kimonas, Tapas!!! Book your trip now!!!! Go don't think about it!!!!

This resort did not disappoint, as this was our first time to Jamaica, and also to a Sandals property. The staff were above and beyond helpful, friendly and knowledgable. Want to give a shout out to a few people that really stood out: Ike our dive master was incredible - and his team-Dennis, Bancroft. The chef at the Manor was outstanding, Yannik! The waitstaff: Maya, Lateva were so attentive and efficient. At Sky Gourmet/Vista we had Latoya, Kjielle, and Jadday who were amazing. Romario at Southern Table made us feel so welcome. Everyone on the staff were amazing, even Keisha in Loyalty and Travel - we're signed up to visit another Sandals property because of her! We're truly big fans of Jamaica, and you will not be disappointed with this property.

Oceans Bar with Kadia and Maxwell was so fun! Drinks were great! DJ Ramie played a great set! So much fun! Our trip could have been dampened by the rain, but they made it a great day! The view of the beach and ocean keep you feeling that vacation vibe! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at this Sandal's resort, our first experience of a Sandals. The food was exquisitely good for both breakfast and dinner options. The staff were very kind and helpful throughout. We stayed in the Beach-side accommodation and took the short trip on the hopper when we wanted to go to the hillside attractions. Our favourite hang-out was the Rabbit Hole where my Wife got to duet with the winner of the Jamaica's got talent winner and also perform some cool dance moves as prompted by the DJ. We also loved the Piano bar, especially since it was air conditioned! The staff in both these places were amazing. Some minor gripes; the bed was too high for my Wife (5" 1) - we have great videos of her trying to get on it! (I understand this is being rectified), there was no consistent wifi in the room (we should have reported this) and lastly about halfway through the stay we were both stung by Jellyfish inside the harbour area. We met several couples after this who also had this experience. Obviously not much Sandal's can do but a friend who stayed in the Maldives recently said the local staff would stop people going in the sea if they thought the area was unsafe. We will definitely be back as soon as we can afford it!

The beach was so close to this resort and VERY clean. ALL of the staff here were phenomenal. Genuinely kind people. I would highly rec this resort!

AMAZING time!! It was a very good experience! We stayed on the beach side of the resort, and it was perfect. Plenty of pools, easy access to the beach, delicious restaurants. And there were so many activities to do on the property, how can you do it all it one trip? Paul, from the Loyalty office, talked us into booking another trip. It didn’t take a lot of convincing though, lol! Adults only!!

We just returned from 5 days at Sandals Ochi. Overall, it was a relaxing vacation, which we needed. The staff was great. Our room was cleaned in a timely manner, towels were available and dinners were tasty. My hour massage by Theresa was bliss. Shout out to Daniel who saw my husband trip and go down. He was on the spot and called the nurse to come evaluate and then even got us a table at our favorite restaurant after getting check out. That being said, it would have been nice to have a list of restaurants and when they are closed. On more than one occasions, we got to a restaurant only to find that it was closed. The bus ride to the resort was long, and made longer with a 20 minute stop. I just spent the entire day traveling. I don’t want to stop, I want to get to the resort and unpack and relax. The resort, at least on the beach side, was tired looking. Everything was clean and swept and racked but there were tiles missing from the wall in the elevator as well as in the pool. It just needed a little tlc. The bummer of the trip was checkout day. We had to check out at 7:15 and our bus was picking us up at 7:45. Every breakfast restaurant opened at 7:30 so we did not have enough time to eat. This is not good for someone who gets motion sick riding in a bus driving on curvy roads. It would have been nice if Sandals had a table with some pastries and coffee and juice for us to partake in before leaving. I even tried using the app to “ask Gina” where we could find food, but never got an answer. What a waste. By the time I got to the airport, I was sick and there was no going back, no matter what I tried. Overall, I think the staff here tries their best with what they have. Sandals owners need to funnel some funds toward this resort for a facelift. We will not be back to Ochi and plan on going to either Curaçao or Antigua in the future.
