Sandals Ochi Resort Review: What to Know Before Staying in Ocho Rios, Jamaica

By:  Amy Norton, a Marvelous Mouse Travels agent

If you’re dreaming of Jamaica… let me introduce you to Sandals Ochi Resort in beautiful Ocho Rios

Sandals Ochi Resort Review Pool

This resort is HUGE — but what makes it so unique is that it’s split into two completely different vibes:

Riviera Seaside – Right by the beach with gorgeous ocean views and easy access to the sand and water. Perfect if you want to wake up and be steps from the Caribbean Sea.

The Hillside (Butler Village) – Tucked up above the resort, this side is quieter, lush, and ultra-luxurious. Think private plunge pools and butler service. It feels like your own little tropical escape within the resort.

And the best part? You get access to it ALL.

Now let’s talk about what’s INCLUDED

  • Snorkeling
  • Paddleboarding
  • Glass-bottom boat rides
  • And more.

If you love being on (or in!) the water, this place is a dream. No surprise charges. Just show up and go.

Dining that is amazing.

My personal favorite? Soy Sushi Bar  — always fresh, beautifully made sushi, and such a great atmosphere for dinner. It’s one of those places you’ll want to go back to more than once.

And you absolutely cannot skip the Jerk Shack.  Authentic Jamaican jerk chicken and pork, bold flavors, casual island vibes… it’s the kind of spot you’ll be thinking about long after you’re home. Total must-do.

And when the sun goes down…Do. Not. Miss. The Rabbit Hole.

This hidden speakeasy is such a vibe — intimate, moody, and unforgettable. The night I went, there was a phenomenal singer who didn’t just sing… she told a story with every song. It gave me chills. One of those magical vacation moments you can’t plan, but you’ll never forget.

If you want a resort that gives you beach energy, luxury hideaway vibes, good food, and fun nightlife all in one place this is it.  Reach out to  www.marvelousmousetravels.com/contactus to be in touch with a travel agent!
