Is Sandals Ochi Worth It? $291/Night Honest Review (2026)

Is Sandals Ochi Beach Resort actually worth $291 per night per person in 2026? We just spent a week at Sandals Ochi in Ocho Rios, Jamaica — our first time visiting the island since Hurricane Melissa — and we're breaking down the HONEST truth. Both of our parents are from Jamaica, so this one was personal. In this full Sandals Ochi review we cover the Great House Ocean View room, the 16 restaurants (including our favorite — the jerk shack), the 105 pools, the beach, the activities, and the moment the staff did something that genuinely sealed it for us. By the end of this video you'll know exactly whether Sandals Ochi is right for your next couples trip — or if you should book a different Sandals resort in Jamaica. 👉 SUBSCRIBE for more honest couples travel reviews:    / @milesandmemoriesag   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇯🇲 SUPPORTING JAMAICA AFTER HURRICANE MELISSA ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If you've been on the fence about visiting Jamaica because of the storm — please go.
