10. Electric outlets are 3 prong polarized, grounded, running at 110v, 50Hz compatible with "north american" electronics. 9. Switching rooms should be expected, if not encouraged. 8. Shuttle from airport is more like 2 hours instead of the frequently quoted 1 hr, 45 minutes. 7. riviera side has the beach, manor side has the better pool. In my opinion, the... more

Prior to booking our vacation, I spent many hours researching Caribbean vacation options, including hotels, privately-owned rentals and several all-inclusive operations. As my fiancee and I are overworked, underpaid and only able to vacation once every one or two years, spending five percent of our annual income for one week of relaxation means that we read a lot of reviews... more

Dec/26 - Jan/02 Room 7136 I can not explain the disappointment as this vacation/wedding, was the most expensive and the worst ever in 5 years of traveling the Carebbean area. I will start with Air Canada, leaving Toronto to Montego Bay, we froze on the plane, even though we did bring fleece blankets, if you want one from the airline... more

While I was a little hesitant after I booked our one week getway due to all the less than favorable reviews on the resort; we decided to put them out of our minds and headed to Sandals for our one week vacation. While the aiport was a little hectic - it seemed as though everyones planes landed at the exact... more

My husband and I stayed a week in June of 07. Our luggage was lost, which was horrible, however. When we got on to the shuttle, we were greeted by just the coolest driver, that encouraged us to go grab beers and drinks before we departed, so we could relax on our ride to the resort. He pointed out several... more

This is a large property consisting of two sides – the Riviera side and the Manor side. The Riviera side is the side with the beach. The Manor side is across a road and requires a bus transfer. During our stay, the shuttles regularly departed at ten minute intervals. We stayed on the Riviera side. The grounds were beautiful and... more

We have stayed at several Sandals and know what to expect. Our initial impression was not great; the property is not up to the standard of other Sandals and the staff not the most friendly. However, we really enjoyed our stay. We made a good room choice: Oceanfront Concierge room on the top floor of the Riviera building. The view... more

Let me start by saying, my husband and I were married at Sandals Negril and LOVED the property and staff. Because of our wonderful experience we decided to try this property because it was bigger and in a difference part fo the country. MISATAKE! Rooms - We were orginally booked to stay in the Bamboo building on the Riveria side.... more

I would HIGHLY recommend Sandals Grande Ocho Rios to anyone looking to get away from it all and have a marvelous vacation!! This was our first vacation using an all-inclusive resort. We booked a suite with Butler Service and had to worry about NOTHING once we arrived at the Montego Bay Airport. There were greeters at the airport directing us... more

Hi I just arrived from Jamaica yesterday. Before chosing Sandal's Ocho Rios I have vesited this website to view the reviews. Most of them were positives, but some were not and I wasn't sure what to do. I decided to go and I definitely made the good choice. First of all, the pictures on their website are very representative of... more
