My experience with Angela with Blissful Travel Escapes over this last year of planning our 50th Wedding anniversary has been "over the moon"!! She responds so quickly to my inquiries. We had a party of 15 with our adult children, spouses and grandkids and that is no small feat to coordinate. I will use her services again for sure!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Angela with Blissful Travel Escapes planned the most incredible trip to Curaçao, and I truly cannot recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she made the entire process completely stress-free and thought of every detail to make sure our vacation was perfect. Her recommendations and attention to detail made all the difference. Everything from the Sandals resort, sailboat excursion, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. It was so nice to just show up, relax, and enjoy paradise knowing everything had already been taken care of. Curaçao was absolutely beautiful, but having Angela’s expertise behind the scenes made the trip even better. I would definitely recommend using Angela with Blissful Travel Escapes for your next vacation, especially if you want a trip that feels effortless, memorable, and perfectly planned. We can’t wait for her to plan our next adventure!

We had the pleasure of working with Angela to arrange a Royal Caribbean sailing on Star of the Seas for a large extended family, and the experience felt seamless and thoughtfully curated from start to finish. Angela made coordination feel effortless. With a busy schedule that makes phone calls difficult, I greatly appreciated her responsiveness via text and email. Her communication style was efficient, clear, and always timely, which made planning a large group trip surprisingly simple. She managed every detail with care, from securing our reservations to thoughtfully arranging our staterooms so our group was conveniently located on the same floor and near one another. Dining coordination was handled just as smoothly, ensuring our family could share meals together without stress or confusion. What truly sets Angela apart is her attentiveness and precision. Her reminders were always well-timed, her follow-through impeccable, and she frequently stepped in to communicate directly with family members when needed, removing me entirely as the intermediary. Working with Angela felt like having a dedicated luxury travel concierge—proactive, composed, and deeply detail-oriented. I have already recommended her to several family members, and plan to have her help plan our next family cruise for 2027 soon.

I've booked 2 Disney cruises with Blissful Travel Escapes and both experiences were amazing! It was an extremely easy and stress free process. Our agent Natalie was very prompt in answering any questions I had and guiding me through the entire trip with anything I needed. I'm already booked for another cruise in September! 10/10 would recommend booking with them.

Resort FAQs

Why is Sandals Ochi so affordable?

Sandals Ochi is often the most budget-friendly resort in the Sandals portfolio due to its massive scale and unique layout. Spanning over 100 acres with 519 rooms, it benefits from “economies of scale.” Its location in the vibrant town of Ocho Rios also allows for lower operational and staffing costs compared to more remote, secluded properties. This value is passed directly to you, making it the perfect entry point into the Sandals luxury experience.

Is Sandals Ocho Rios destroyed?

No. While Jamaica was affected by Hurricane Melissa in late 2025, Sandals Ochi was largely unaffected by the most severe impacts. Following a brief period for landscaping and minor repairs, the resort officially reopened on December 6, 2025. It is currently fully operational and welcoming guests with all amenities, restaurants, and pools available.

Does Sandals Ochi have a nice beach?

Sandals Ochi features a beautiful, private cove beach with calm, turquoise waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. While the beach is smaller than those at some other resorts, guests have exclusive access to the Ochi Beach Club, which is widely considered one of the best beach clubs in Ocho Rios, offering a high-energy atmosphere, beachfront pools, and a swim-up bar.

What is Sandals Ochi known for?

Sandals Ochi is famous for its “Dual-Resort” personality. It is known for:

The Rabbit Hole: The Caribbean’s first authentic speakeasy.

Dining Variety: An industry-leading 16 gourmet restaurants.

The Butler Village: Luxurious, secluded hillside villas with private pools.

Vibrant Social Scene: The Ochi Beach Club is the hub for daily parties and nightlife.

Is Sandals Ochi for couples only?

Yes. Like all Sandals Resorts, Sandals Ochi is an adults-only resort specifically designed for couples in love. This policy ensures a romantic, peaceful, and kid-free environment for honeymoons, anniversaries, and romantic escapes.

What is the nicest Sandals Resort?

“Nicest” depends on your style, but for 2026, Sandals Dunn’s River (also in Ocho Rios) is currently ranked as the #1 overall resort for its modern design and innovative “SkyPool” suites. If you prefer seclusion and exotic views, Sandals Saint Vincent is a top contender, while Sandals Grande St. Lucian remains the favorite for those seeking the best swimmable beach.

What is the safest resort in Jamaica?

Jamaica is very safe for tourists who stay within the established resort areas. For 2026, Excellence Oyster Bay and the Sandals resorts in Ocho Rios are cited as some of the safest options. Ocho Rios is a major tourism hub with high security standards, and the U.S. State Department recently lowered the travel advisory for Jamaica to Level 2 in early 2026, reflecting significant safety improvements.

What month should I not go to Jamaica?

September and October are generally considered the “worst” months to visit due to the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. These months see the highest average rainfall and humidity. However, they also offer the lowest prices and fewest crowds for travelers willing to monitor the weather closely.

Is Sandals Ochi Rios closing?

No, there are no plans for Sandals Ochi to close. After its successful post-storm reopening in December 2025, the resort remains a cornerstone of the Sandals brand in Jamaica and continues to accept bookings throughout 2027.
