**Review of Beaches Ocho Rios** My recent stay at Beaches Ocho Rios was a mixed experience. While there were some high points, the resort fell short in a few critical areas that can't be overlooked. Let's start with the positives: The service was exceptional and deserves a solid 9 out of 10. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and always eager to help, which made certain aspects of the stay more enjoyable. The entertainment was a highlight, earning a perfect 10—it was lively, engaging, and truly captured the spirit of Jamaica. The food and drinks were also great, a 9 out of 10. From flavorful local dishes to refreshing cocktails, the dining experience was one of the resort's strongest points. However, the accommodations and facilities were disappointing. There were several plumbing issues during my stay—no hot water, a stopped-up sink, and a toilet that didn’t work properly. These issues significantly impacted the overall comfort. The state of the resort itself is another concern. Tiles were falling, the carpeting was heavily stained, and overall, the property felt dated and in need of a serious renovation. Beaches Ocho Rios has great potential with its location, service, and entertainment offerings, but the infrastructure and maintenance need immediate attention. Until those improvements are made, it’s hard to fully recommend this resort to others. Overall, I enjoyed parts of my stay, but I’d hesitate to return unless updates are made. Beaches Ocho Rios could truly shine with a bit of care and investment. 14 family members fyi. Read less

It was raked daily, but bottle tops & trash were evident. Some of the staff members were very blasé while others were fun and extremely helpful. Our family group of 16 had a great time. Beautiful view and water. Fun entertainment and activities for all. Read less

Wasn’t worth the money. My room was next to where other sign for excursions. Very loud area. The price for the room should’ve been secluded and easier access to the beach. The picture of room on website is a lie.

Lady J did an amazing job rallying the pool area for bingo. So much fun and I won a bottle of wine, as well as had fun playing! The resort is amazing, pool is nice, drinks are really good. Overall a very good experience with my family. Very relaxing week and nice to have entertainment to participate in.
