We were in Ochio Rios 2 years ago in 2012 and a lot has changed since then. The place has been refurbished, the rooms have been upgraded and the vibe of the place has been lifted. Hearing live drums playing in the forecourt whilst sipping drinks by the pool is simply wonderful along with the pool side wifi. The pool is well maintained and great if you have a young family. Its a shame the upstairs restaurant isn't open for breakfast anymore although Ochio Rios is not short on places where you can eat. Would definitely stay here again.

This is my 2nd time staying in this apartment, 2012 was the first and i had to come back and stay. I say this is the best apartment in Sandcastles as i have stayed in many and feel confident saying. Everything still works perfect, wifi, cooker, tv's, shower etc i was happy. As always it was easy to book the apartment and the owner is approachable. Its clean, in the most central part of Ocho Rios and its secure. I stayed there on my own and felt safe. The lady who cleans the room is lovely, a warm personality and is helpful. When im next in town will book this same apartment as the others just cant compete!

I stayed at the facility for jennifer for 6 days and I dont see how this property can be newly renovated. The property needed to be painted and the bathroom was horrible. This porperty was over priced for the unit. I had family staying in a another facility and that property was well maintained. The entire time I stayed at the poperty I never saw the manager. and when I voice my concearn with the housekeeper she tired to fix the problem. But after staying in a horrible unit with outdated bathroom. No Air conditioner and no TV. I would not stay in this unit again because of the unit condition and the manager service.

I was very pleased about my stay at sandcastle Hotel, I was greeted upon arrival and was treated in a friendly manner, the room, bath, kitchen and the living room were clean. The housekeeper was very nice and friendly. Very accommodating with the internet service. Thank you Roger Brown

This appartment is one of the most charming, romantic and beautiful appartment I've stayed in for a long time. The rooms are super comfortable with little touches like iced water, fresh flowers and washing powder making a difference. I hope to return soon.

My family and I stayed n D12 and D13, both one bedroom appartements. The appartemnts were decorated well and very clean, a very warm and welcoming vibe. The owner supplied us with a welcome basket, which came in very handy upon arrival being that we were all starving and didn't have to go any further than our appartements. The property is located right in the middle of Ocho Rios, everything Ochi has to offer was easily accessible from our doorstep. The owner provided excellent customer care before, during and after our stay. Will definately be booking again! From the excellent customer service to high quality appartements this holiday really felt like a HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!! Thank you!!!

i stayed at the sandcastle resort recently the apartment was really nice and clean the housekeeper came in 5 times a week she was really nice and friendly and very helpful i liked the apartment as it had cable tv in both the bedroom and the living room it was right next to the beach and the shops and nightlife were only a few minutes walk the owner was really nice she showed me her other propertys which was a 2 bedroom villa and a studio apartment at columbus heights i would definitely stay there again

1 month business trip. My first 2 weeks I stayed at Colombus Heights then a few nights at Sandcastles, both studio apartments. My last week was spent at the quiet Emeralds Estate. Colombus Heights is a spacious studio with breathe taking views, 24 hour security and daily maid service. Sandcastles resort is another well situated apartment near to all the main attractions, amenities and the beach. Both apartments are beautifully furnished with a/c. Included in the price is the airport transfer with the friendly driver/tour guide Dennis. The helper Stephanie is polite, warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Emeralds is a 2 bed villa on the outskirts of Ochio in a quiet gated estate, perfect for me to finish off a hectic month of business and relax. The owner kept in touch throughout and even assisted me with her knowledge of local businessess to link me with. I will definately be returning in February and have already recommended all the apartments to family, friends and work colleagues.

I enjoyed very much staying at all of the apartments including the villa residence just outside of Ocho Rios. The service was first class as were the provisions inside each of these locations. I felt safe as the security implemented, being in both 'a gated' environment plus, the additional security employed within each dwelling, was sufficient enough to allow total enjoyment and freedom of movement. I would be more than happy to use your service in the near future and will be, recommending you to any friends and family looking to enjoy their holiday in Ocho Rios. Thank you once again for the warm hospitality and service provided. Sincerely Mr F A Thomas

I stayed at the apartment for 7 nights, its conveniently located right next to the beach and easy access to all of the town centre. The apartment is kept very clean and facilities within are very useful. You rarely use the air conditioner as its close to the sea you feel a cool breeze. Its minutes walk from restaurants, fast food and the shopping centre. Jen is lovely and called from Jamaica to ensure that my stay was going to be comfortable and made me feel welcome. Sandcastles is minutes walk from all the clubs and Bars so is a perfect location if you like the night life.

D12- by far the best apartment i have stayed in at Sandcastles and i have stayed in more than 8! The owner Jennifer is prompt and friendly when replying to all queries, i felt at ease booking with her. Her driver Dennis who picked me and my son up from the airport was ontime and he wore a Palmview tshirt so i was able to recognise him straight away at Montego Bay busy airport. This apartment is clean and very comfortable, most apartments ive stayed in just about has enough cups, this one has pots,pans, jugs more than enough cutlery, a toast sandwich maker and lots more in the kitchen. The computer has fast internet connection which helped, and a tv in the living room and bedroom which is a bonus as most apartments provide just 1 tv in the main room. There is also a powerful ipod/iphone speaker so i was able to play my music on my iphone while getting ready to go out! Along with a seperate cd stereo player. The shower unit is powerful with hot water and i like the fact that it has sliding doors instead of a shower curtain, the floor stayed dry. English sockets for if you dont have an adapter and also cable in both rooms. Also the owner has provided magazines and childrens books for the rainy days in (along with the computer and alot of cable channels available, you cant be bored). Stephanie who is the helper, she cleaned the apartment everyday was always available by phone if i had a query and lives locally. Although i had a car , Sandcastles is located in a spot where everything is walking distance from eating out to going to the supermarkets and walking to the the clubs and beach. Also opposite is Turtle Park, a park you can go and chill and watch the turtles and large fishes swim by. The car park in Sandcastles is big and security are onsite 24/7 Im planning my next trip end of this year and i will definately contact Jennifer again. Lovely apartment in a beautiful country

A wonderful stay at Jennifers Columbus Heights studio apartment. This was a great location in Ocho Rios which is a great location in jamaica for those who are new to the island. The location is close to fishermans beach which is a great place run by the locals who will cook up anything thing that you request. The unit itself has a great view, is clean with all the amenites one would need. Its great for a single woman or couple on a budget. Jennifer is a great resource and a wealth of information. I will certainly return.
