Perfect for honeymooners on a budget or who like to have plenty of options for things to do, dining, and drinking, Sandals Ochi is the biggest and most affordable Sandals resort.
Located in Ocho Rios, it features a lively beachfront section (Riviera Seaside) and a more peaceful Hillside section. While walkable, the resort also offers a shuttle serve between the two. But know what type of honeymoon you want before you book a room; if you want to spend most of your time on the beach, don’t stay in a hillside room.
The hillside area has the Butler Village along with the biggest pool area, some of the restaurants, a fitness center, and a spa.
The Riviera Seaside area has the beachfront and Ochi Beach Club plus more pools (including one with a swim-up bar), restaurants, and bars.
