It’s so Ochi! Young, hip, vibrant, bold and beautiful. It’s a warmth, a glow, a feeling you get as you immerse yourself in the newly remodelled Sandals Ochi. Located in the lush and gorgeous Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Sandals Resorts has just celebrated the official Grand Opening of their multi-million dollar renovation, and it is stunning. They have completely redesigned and refreshed Sandals Ochi to provide their guests with an experience of a lifetime. Sandals Ochi is a reinvented resort featuring upgraded and luxurious accommodations, a booming night life, beachside or hillside living, more than 100 pools and enough dining options to please every guest, in every way.

Captivating pools. Incredible Service. Romance around every corner. A party at the beach or a quiet moment at the hidden pool. You can choose to do it all or nothing at all at the brand new Sandals Ochi. To tell the tale of Sandals Ochi is to tell the tale of two sides of this very diverse resort.
For the couple seeking quiet and romance, there are the serene paths to amble down, plush beach beds for two and hidden paths and doorways to discover. Wandering around you might feel like you are lost in your own private paradise.
For the couple seeking even more privacy? Seek out one of the secluded lounge chairs that dot the property, quiet places by the fire and the water. The perfect place to read a book, dream the day away, or make plans for your next big adventure.
As the sun beats down you may find the biggest decision of the day becomes which frozen drink to indulge in next. Drink in hand I would suggest you and your loved one should venture out in search of the elusive hidden pool; insider tip, it’s worth the hunt.
All of Sandals Ochi lends to the feeling of being catered to, pampered and spoiled. No room accommodation accomplishes this better than the ultimate of love nests, the Romeo & Juliet Suites.
Tucked high into the hills of the St. Ann Mountains, these intimate retreats offer the epitome of privacy and luxury. The suites come with their own Butler, driving in his own golf cart, and are comprised of a stunning mahogony four poster bed, a separate kitchenette and lounge area, and a completely private courtyard with a personal pool and spa. You may never want to leave.
As night time falls you can seek quiet corners to chat and connect by one of the many fire features that speckle the property.

Or mix it up a bit and challenge your loved one to a spirited game of Taboo with new friends.
When you’ve had enough quiet time and are ready for a little night life, dare I say yearning to channel your inner Ochi? Then it’s time to seek out the hot and happening beach and pool parties. From morning to night there is always a party going on at Sandals Ochi. The music pounds, the drinks flow, movies are playing, there’s a rock climbing wall or a DJ under the stars. You can dance until you nearly drop and then stroll back to your home away from home under the twinkling caribbean stars.

Don’t forget the 11 restaurants and 16 bars to keep you busy. My personal picks; the Jerk Shack and the Rabbit Hole Speak Easy, these are the hottest tickets in town and the fastest ways to heat up your evening. Be warned, the chicken at the Jerk Shack may just change your life. It will ruin you for all other chicken, ever, it’s that good.

The Rabbit Hole Speak Easy will transport you back in time to the roaring 20’s, but beware, not all can enter.
If you plan to take in the best show on the island, indulge in some moonshine, and dance the night away 1920’s style, you have to know the password! No guests shall enter the Rabbit Hole Speakeasy without the secret word. How do you get it? That information and so much more to follow in a future post!
Sandals Ochi is eclectic and trendy, a luxurious adventrue. With accommodations to fit every taste, restaurants to please all, and seemingly a pool for every guest, Sandals once again proves the closer you look, the better they look. In my opinion, everyone needs a little Ochi.
those oversize chairs and firepits look amazing.
Romance around every corner. It was perfect.
So luxurious! Those pools look so inviting and I love the bed decorations.
AND the beds are ridiculously comfortable.
wow, now that is a vacation! thanks for the beautiful pics,review and info! amazing!
You’re welcome! So glad you liked them!
I’m having a hard time not jumping on a plane right now! How nice and I feel pampered just looking at the pictures – oh the fun and good eats and the swimming – nice way to get to wear some of the cute beachwear you have just sitting there!
One thing I didn’t get to do was try all the restaurants. There are 16 on property. Every one I tried had their own flavour and style. Of course the pools were fabulous too!
Now you have me thinking I should have considered a trip this spring. What’s the weather like in June?
June is on the cusp of their rainy season, we had a little bit of rain every day but it was warm and balmy. Didn’t slow us down. (and the prices are better in June!)
That towel critter! Priceless!
There are some serious towel artists at Sandals!
oh my word! are you kidding me??? gah its gorgeous!! especially those night photos when everything is lit up. beautiful
I adore palm trees anytime of day, but lit up at night they are pure magic.
i didn’t even know you could get a personal pool in your room. crazy!
There are more than 100 pools on the property, many of these are in private villas for two!
Wow, this is beyond stunning!
It’s a great place for a romantic getaway.
wow this looks stunning!!
So many perfect places to take a photo 🙂
It looks wonderful. The old door is so mysterious looking.
They say all who touch the door will soon be married, if you are already married, then pregnancy is in your future. I did not touch that door! LOL
That is so funny. I love a good myth. 😛
They take this myth pretty seriously. I did not touch that door! 🙂
Looks so nice! Maybe one day I will get to do more travelling.
Never hurts to dream a little!
the rabbit hole looks straight out of the hobbit!
…and the inside is astounding! Can’t wait to show all of you 🙂
WOW! One more place to add to my must see list!
I hope you get to go soon!
Sounds like heaven to me!
I’ve already recommended it to two couples since my return. I’m ready to go back 🙂
