Had to wait on service, no one was available to serve had to wait or know the kitchen door. When I got the fruit it was one slice of pineapple and 1/2 of banana.
First the GPS took us to a location that was locked off. I had to go around the road was horrible. Check in was smooth, however, there was no hot water in the night. Only two towels no wash rags. I tried closing the balcony door which proved difficult because it was off the track.

Buona la posizione.
Buona la pulizia, anche se il pavimento rimane sempre appiccicoso.
Bello dormire con il sottofondo delle onde.
Abbiamo mangiato a cena sempre in hotel e ci siamo trovati abbastanza bene nonostante l’estrema lentezza nel servizio .
Colazione da rivedere in moltissimi aspetti. La lentezza dei camerieri è disarmante, purtroppo si dolce non è presente nessuna possibilità. La scelta della colazione ricade su uova ( omelette/ sode/fritte/ camicia) e pancake, baked beans e French toast non sempre disponibili. Buona però la possibilità di poter assaggiare la colazione giamaicana.
Una delle sere abbiamo trovato di cattivo gusto che con l’area ristoro piena per la cena un tavolo fosse occupato dai proprietari che giocavano a Monopoli.

It's right on the beach. That is so hard to find in Ochi. The food is really good. The Feta Bruschetta is so good. Red Stripes at the Sunset Bar. The sound of the waves right outside your door. The river just next door. The Fisherman's village people. The Jamaican breakfast option everyday. The staff are all great. The price is great.
The other half of the hotel that is in disrepair is ugly. The road in needs some patching. Those potholes are a little too much.

The staff had a great attitude,Breakfast was delicious,Comfortable room environment.
The hotel is in a hidden alley mouth, but there is no billboard to guide the route, originally left one minute to arrive, the result is lost, I hope the hotel in the navigation of the second gas station intersection to increase the hotel sign, in order to facilitate guests to find the route to the hotel

The property is tuck away from the city noise it’s not the newest building but the owners are making small renovations to improve the look of the property. It’s well maintained, rooms are clean, surroundings are taken care of the beach is well kept, what I love most about this property is that you can enjoy both the river and the beach, the river is just 2 mins walk beside the property. The food is amazing and value for money, staff is friendly and courteous I will definitely be back to enjoy more of this paradise and not to mention to ocean view from all the rooms.
That I have to leave

Food is affordable and was lovely in taste. Servers were pleasant and helpful. Quiet hotel that was peaceful for me
Cats around dining tables, begging and looking. Front desk needs to work better on their communication when texting.

Wir waren drei Tage hier und haben es sehr genossen. Bei jeder unserer Fragen wurde uns geholfen und wir haben viele tolle Tips bekommen was wir noch unternehmen könnten. Ein Riesen Dankeschön an Mario, den Inhaber von San and Stan, der uns den Aufenthalt uns bei unseren kleinen „Holpersteinen“ weitergeholfen hat! Ein MUSS wenn man auf Jamaika ist, würden jederzeit gerne wieder kommen.

Sehr freundliches Personal. Die deutschen Besitzer sind sehr nett und es kann jeder Zeit ein kleiner Plausch an der Bar gehalten werden, die übrigens direkt an dem angrenzenden Strand liegt. Ein Sprung vom Pier am morgen in das durch den White River leicht abgekühlte Wasser lässt einen erfrischt in den Tag starten. Anschließend kann das Frühstück mit Meerblick genossen werden.
Die Getränkepreise sind relativ hoch.

Breakfast was fine and I liked the location being right by the sea
The accommodations could have been better (the room that is, felt the price was too much for what we got.)

Hermoso lugar

I loved it.

Location is great just on the beach. Sound of the waves is calming. Breakfast was good.
Beach sand looked muddy in colour. Toilet needed repairs.
3.8
Big spacious room, lots of space. Own private beach and they provide beach towels free of charge. Nice paintings on the walls. Included breakfast was good.
It’s quite outdated and a bit run-down: loose doorknobs, door to the bathroom not closing properly, furniture looks old, the rooms a bit bare. Parking is outside the property, not gated or secured. We were a bit nervous about leaving the car there, but they assured us it was safe and it was indeed fine.

La playa es de las mejores de la zona, luego de ir a varias, concluimos que por su privacidad y su ubicación y temperatura , al estar junto a la desembocadura del rio que sale alli logar un efecto de bajar la temperatura del mar.
el ingreso al hotel, es decepcionante cuando uno llega y se encuentra con una edificación muy antigua y a mal traer. El tema es que el hotel mira al mar y uno entra como por una puerta de servicio trasera...es algo que deverian mejorar.
3.8
A localização muito boa, com uma praia sossegada ao nossos pés, quartos com vista para o mar, vimos várias tartarugas marinhas.
Café da manhã desse hotel foi o menos gostamos da nossa viagem à Jamaica. Poderiam melhorar! Teve um dia que pedi o café da manhã jamaicano e veio algo que nem consegui comer, sei que existe uma variedade de coisas diferentes na Jamaica e provei em outros hotéis, mas aí me deram só uma opção que se eu tivesse visto o que era nem tinha pedido. Sugestão já que não tem buffet liberado é colocar fotos do menu jamaicano para o turista ver o que estão servindo.

Breakfast options were great. Location to the beach and waves were great. Staff was great and kind. Parking felt secure. Paddleboards were available. Beach towels were available for excursions and laying out.
The bathrooms didn't meet expectations (did not exactly look like the pictures on booking.com) and could use a little updating and sprucing up. The A/C unit was connected to a motion sensor that did not detect me nor my partner during sleep, so it shut off several times and we woke up to a hot room. The big minus was we were charged $40 USD for laundry that filled one plastic bag. *TIP: always ask the price for laundry services before using them. I found it unreasonably pricey for the size of load, but it was also on us to ask instead assume it would be $20 or under (what seems more of a reasonable range).

My little paradise
I was two times at this place before and they did so much renovation it is just amazing.
We went with the paddle boards in the water to see the turtles who was born at the beach and still around.
Every morning before breakfast we went in to the river beside the hotel to have a nice cool down.
You can do so much at the hotel and pay not one cent like paddle boarding, snorkeling, swimming with the turtles, paddle boarding up the river to have a nice drink at the bar beside the blue hole.
And in the evening we enjoy at the beach bar in front of the hotel with good reggae music and good drinks thanks to Ingrid!
Also a big huge to Deon our breakfast queen who make our breakfast perfect with any request you have.
Will be back soon
Love you guys

We had a premium room where we stepped from our terrace straight to the beach.
We see the turtles in the morning from our terrace we also was snorkeling with them and after we went up the white river with the paddle board to the blue hole for free from the same beach the hotel is on.
Breakfast was super, dinner delicious and the service was amazing.
Will definitely return

The property being on the beach was just wonderful....Waking up to the waves crashing was very soothing and peaceful.
The front counter staff Damian and the kitchen staff were exceptional...Damian went beyound his duty to help us enjoy our stay outside of the hotel.
First time having to request housekeeping services...
However, when I brought to to the front counter staff Damian he got my room serviced promptly

It has a nice rustic look, balcony overlooks the sea. Waking up the the sound of the sea, calming and relaxing, looks just like the pictures did not disappoint. Staff was also helpful and pleasant
No microwave in room or blankets.

Sand and Tan felt like home away from home during our long weekend in Ocho Rios. It's a beautiful hotel, beachside, with a very caring & friendly staff. We had so much fun here! Breakfast every morning is delicious and relaxing. Spent most days swimming in the ocean and relaxing on the private beach. The hotel is right next to White River, close to waterfalls and rainforest, Bob Marley's 9 mile tour, etc.. Ochi has great food, fun nightlife & good vibes.
No complaints. 10/10

The beach
Where do I begin?!? The hotel gets 1 star because they had a private beach & all staff members were pretty friendly. The hotel is borderline shelter standard. From the appearance, to the decor, to the health violations. I didn’t want to spend another second inside. The lobby area is a small closet/room with furniture from 20 years ago. Leading up to our room, you can see abandoned storage rooms as well as other rooms used by staff members for various reasons, filled with junk. Our room door barely opened, as it was jammed with the floor. Yes! Jammed with the floor stopping it from opened. As you enter the room, you see a ripped ironing board with cloth that looked like it had been rubbed in the mud and left waiting for us. The open closet smelled of urine and was stained. The bed was so high! You had to jump up every night to get in & was sitting on wood and bricks. The air conditioner was FILLED and COVERED with mold. I had to ask for housekeeping, no problem. After she was done, she made it a point to let us know several times that she was. She wanted a tip. There was no way she was getting a tip. The room was still filled sand, tub had not been cleaned and we received no clean towels. This place has 20 rooms and I feel strongly that it should be converted into a shelter. It would do the community good. This is not a hotel or motel. People should not pay to stay here. The transportation company they connected me with also are a scam! Tony’s Transportation! We booked an excursion that I’ve been going to for the past 8 years. Several times per yr. This time, the transportation company stops about 5 mins before the entrance and tells us that were going to start at a different point, so we can get the full experience. What we found out was, they took us to the entry for locals, not tourists. The mgr for the company said we were paying the price we did (expensive) because all of our transportation services were private and we were getting the full service.

Nice place 4th time I've visited this hotel..
Unsure of where I could sit/walk on the adjacent beach

Very clean love the food
Just that water system cutting off too much
3.8
I love the fact that rooms were mere feet’s away from the water. The sound of water crashing made the sleep more enjoyable. The bed was super comfortable. The staffs were consistently cleaning the property. The curry chicken with dumplings & bananas was everything!! I almost forgot the staff was very courteous & professional especially the guy that check us in (I don’t remember his name).
The inability to get a wash cloth during our stay. The low water pressure experienced during showers. The flies seen during breakfast. Not anything majority. All issues that could be resolved quickly.
3.8
it’s was a nice stay, they have paddle boards that I used everyday to go to the river right beside the property. you see turtle everyday here it’s a beautiful place, rooms are properly equipped and clean. I definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful view from room, sea turtles in the water, great location.
Facilities kinda old, food is kinda mediocre (except breakfast, which was good)
