Went there to visit old friends on my last stay in january to Ocho Rios, and was shocked at what I found, Reception had closed down as was the restaruant, bar and everything else, the reception was stripped of furniture, Big TV's and all decor, Rumor was that its going under hard really to understand as last year they started...

I read some of the reviews.. Oh my! MY experience was much different. I booked directly from the owner on flipkey.. and lucked out on Studio D11 from the owner. On arrival, It was exactly as I had imagined it based on the pics online. I had no regret! Great apartment, perhaps one of the very best. It is a... More

Toward the bottom of this review I tell you about how my Mother contracted this horrible illness from this pace. I may should have started with that... The location of this property is great if you like to go off on your own. There are shops, bars, cafes, and places to eat surrounding you.(Mothers is quick, cheap, and ok.) There... More

THE GOOD: It's a relatively good bargain (but not for you if you want the pool boy to bring you an umbrella drink). Well-maintained gardens: pretty even, if you are into tropical plants. Convenient location in Ocho Rios: walking distance to attractions in the area that kept me occupied for several days: beach front, shopping, movies, restaurants, craft market. No... More

Lovely hotel to stay if you want something small. It's like having your own apartment in the city. Most suites are equipt with dishes, cups, a fridge. It's like being home away from home. There is a Jamaican restaurant just outside the entrance of the restaurant and the food is excellent. The drinks at the bar is very expensive. So... More

We stayed here as a family of 2 adults and 2 children in 2010 our accomadation was basic but provided us with what we needed. Staff were very helpful, cleaner named jenifer could not do enough for us. Swimming pool a bit small but beach is so close it did not bother us. Great location lots of great places to... More

After reading these reviews 2days before I set off I was very tempted just to cancel my whole holiday! I am delighted to say I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. My room was very modern and decorated to a high standard (although I did privately rent through a owner). Location is spot on. The security are fantastic -... More

Stayed at Sandcastles at the end of August. Obviously the season was coming to an end so it was very quiet. Nonetheless the rooms were clean, the staff were very polite and friendly. The breakfast was enourmous (the sort you would have at home and home cooked), I would recommend the ackee and sltfish with two boiled dumplings, a piece... More

So I saw all the bad reviews for Sand Castles, but decided to stay there anyway. I have been to Jamaica many times, and I knew that Sand Castles was a great location. Everything is in walking distance, and it is right on the beach. First, let me start with a positive. The view from our room was breathtaking. That's... More
