Sandals Ochi

My husband and I spent a week in Sandals Ochi in mid-September. We had the most incredible time. Sushi restaurant was a stand out and the breakfast buffets. Ray our main butler was phenomenal. Romario .L, Mikale and Dermaine, Romario .W were fantastic play makers and made every day so much fun, bringing the energy to poolside and some of the evening entertainment. Thank you to the whole team

This was the best trip ever… when I tell you Scott and Derron pulled out all the stops. We wanted for nothing. They were so genuine and always cared with a smile. The staff from beginning to end was so warm and welcoming. Not once did we walk anywhere without being greeted with a smile. I love the fact I didn’t have to wait forever for cocktails and the swim bars weren’t crowded. We stayed hillside and it was amazing. Loved the food and for a much as I requested… I could go on and on! Just know that we will be back to Ochi for sure Highly recommend this resort. Would give 100 stars plus if it were an option

I had a great experience with chip chop the chef and Princess. I had an incredible dining experience at Sandals, where every aspect of my meal was perfect! The food was not only delicious but served at the ideal temperature, enhancing the flavors beautifully. Our waitress, Princess, was exceptional attentive and friendly, she made sure we had everything we needed. I was also impressed by the chef, who personally came out to check on us and even helped pack my food to my room. Their dedication to service made my visit truly memorable, and I can't wait to return!

Went here with my wife recently, absolutely astounded by the entire experience! Friendly and helpful staff at every turn, tons to do both on and off resort. Snorkeling, scuba, paddleboards, kayaks, sailing, swimming on both the gorgeous beaches and gorgeous pools. Swim up bar was an absolute blast! Plenty of night time events too, dont miss the stadium shows were AMAZING. Karaoke at Ethels bar piano led by a live pianist, staff were funny and got the crowd into it! Sea food, Italian, Asian cuisine, 9 restaurants, 4 full bars we went to buy many more on the resort. A variety of rooms anywhere from garden view villas to seaside rooms, also private rooms with private pools available. Beach parties, acrobarics, fire breathers! The sunshine and beauty of this place along with the beautiful heart of the Jamaican people will forever be with me! And dont forget your sandals! ☀️🌊🇯🇲

Our recent trip to Sandals had its ups and downs, but what truly made the experience worthwhile was the outstanding service from the bartenders, butlers, and wait staff. They are the heart of the resort and the reason we would consider returning. Special shoutouts to Simone and Maxwell at the beachside bar, who were nothing short of incredible. As well as Ricardo and Miguel at the Cabana’s. Our housekeeper was incredible, we loved her. Their energy, hospitality, and attention to detail made every visit to the bar feel like a VIP experience. Also, Tavis at Vista Sky made our mornings memorable with top-notch service and genuine kindness at breakfast. The reservation-only restaurants generally met expectations when it came to food quality and presentation. However, the quality of steaks and some of the dinner options outside the reservation system was extremely disappointing—closer to what you'd expect on a budget cruise line, not at a premium resort like Sandals. Another major frustration was the reservation process. Being told “no” repeatedly by the concierge for dinner bookings, even when trying to reserve three days in advance, felt like a flaw in what should be a seamless all-inclusive experience. When you're paying a premium, you expect to be able to enjoy a quality meal without the hassle.

Sandals Ochi is our 3rd resort in as many years. No complaints! The rooms and grounds are lovely as are the pools. Everyone is kind and I feel as though they truly care about our experience. The restaurants are so delicious as always. The Vista Sky restaurant has amazing lobster tail. Highly recommend. Le Gourmand has a delicious sit-down breakfast if you’re not in the mood for a breakfast buffet. The resort activities at night are great as well. I also took a pool aerobics class with Shereka! She’s amazing and we had a great class. I can’t wait to visit again!

This resort is amazing and the staff always has games going on in the pool! Never a dull moment with Patrice and Jason from the entertainment team, they definitely made for a memorable few days and we aren't done yet! Highly recommend this place to anyone!

We recently stayed at Sandals Ochi (August 2025) and overall had an enjoyable vacation, but the resort is beginning to show signs of wear and could use some maintenance updates. Our room (#7348) was comfortable and nicely appointed, but the shower water pressure was low and the temperature control was frustrating—swinging from too hot to too cold with little middle ground. Around the property, we noticed missing tiles at the Hill Side community pool, standing water in the Ocean Club hallway on the Beach Side due to poor drainage, and a few staircases missing handrails. None of these ruined the trip, but they stood out. Dining was mostly a highlight, with several good restaurants to choose from. The Southern Table served great breakfasts, and the omelet station cooks absolutely nailed it every morning. The Jerk Shack never disappoints—worth the trip across the U.S. just for that alone. Kimonos, Le Gourmand, Kelly’s Dockside, The Southern Table, and Vista Sky were all enjoyable. Unfortunately, Dino’s Pizza was the one dining miss. I tried it twice to be sure, but both times the pizza was slightly undercooked and lacked that satisfying crispness. Entertainment was lively and well-executed, but leaned heavily toward American-style performances. While fun, we wished for more Jamaican cultural showcases. The standout was Jamaican Independence Day—100% authentic and absolutely fabulous. More of that energy and authenticity would elevate the entertainment. In short, Sandals Ochi offers a relaxing getaway with good food, friendly staff, and enjoyable entertainment, but it could benefit from some maintenance improvements and a stronger focus on showcasing the rich Jamaican culture that makes the island special.
