First, before I get into the details of my review, let me tell you a bit about myself so you can see where I am coming from. I am a chef, a major foodie and in the food/restaurant industry. I have been to Jamaica 3x (this was my 3rd trip) and one of my past trips (about 8 years ago)... more

My husband and I go to Jamaica every November to celebrate our anniversary. We have stayed at Sandals Whitehouse for the past 2 years but it was closed for renovations. I booked our stay at Ochio Rios because they had a great sale and because I had heard from other Sandal Select members that it was a great resort. I... more

First of all, If you are taking the time to read this, then chances are you've read reviews of this resort and know most of the negatives. That being said, I would venture to guess that almost all of the negative reviews of SGOR have come from people who didn't know what to expect going in. My wife and I... more

Ok a bit about me and my partner first, we are both 27 and work hard in order to go on nice holidays every year. We have been all over the world and this is our second trip to a Sandals resort (went to the Royal Bahamian in Dec 2007). Due to the price difference (and the reviews I have... more

I was amazed with the hospitality and everyone was so nice and friendly. I didn't want to come home and if it wasn't for my kids I would have stayed. I will be back again, soon. more

This was my first visit to Sandals and Jamaica and it was fantastic. The Marketplace food was excellent, as was the wine, and especially the Mud Slides!!! I spent most mornings at the beach and although I needed to get the shuttle bus, it really was not an issue as they ran so frequently. I also went to the gym... more

From the minute we got there, we felt duped. We paid for an all inclusive Villa on the Manor side that was to include a semi-private pool. Little did we know that we would be sharing our semi-private pool with four other couples. The Villa we were offered was run down and falling apart. The 1st day, the remote for... more

Unfortunately, we were not impressed with the Sandals Grande. Our expectations were high and they were not met. On arrival, we were given keys to a room in the Bamboo Grove building on the Riviera side like we paid for. I would not even have taken a shower in the room. It was so below par. I took me three... more

We had an almost perfect experience at Sandal Ocho Rios! We were honeymooners and the level of guest service still boggles our minds. Both my husband and I work in the hospitality industry, so we have extremely high standards. The staff, even the "grumpy" ones were so genuinly concerned with our good time. We could not walk down any walkway... more
