Ocho Rios, Jamaica – March, 2024

I recently returned from a Sandals Workshop in Jamaica at Sandals Ochi Beach Resort. Sandals Ochi is located on the beautiful North Coast of Jamaica is situated on the slopes of over 100 acres of beautiful hillside gardens overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Comprised of 3 Villages, the Butler Village, the Great House Village and the Riviera Beachfront Tower/Riviera Seaside Village, this resort is the BEST BUY in the Sandals Group.

Having stayed at Sandals Ochi many times over the years, this trip I was fortunate to be assigned one of the newly redecorated Butler Village Honeymoon Grande Luxe Poolside Villa Club Level Suite. Each Villa has 4 suites with a shared pool. Butler Service and Club Level Service are unique to this Village.

Sandals Ochi hosts 16 restaurants and 9 bars located throughout the Villages. Cuisines for every taste featuring Jamaican, Tapas, French, Pan-Caribbean, Seafood, Italian, Pizza, Mediterranean, Japanese, Sushi – all-included! The Caribbean’s first Speakeasy, The Rabbit Hole, is accessed only by the daily password readily available from the Staff. The Late Night Decadent Chocolate Buffet, a treat not to be missed.

My trip included visiting the new Sandals Dunn’s River – the newest Jewel in the Sandals Crown – home of the Dunn’s Rum Club, featuring over 30 rum selections from Islands throughout the Caribbean. Additionally a visit to Sandals Royal Plantation, the Upton Estate Golf & Country Club and Beaches Ocho Rios
