We are at sandals ochi right now. Club mobay went great. It was a million percent worth it. The lines are awful if you dont do it. Our room is great, service has been terrific. So far, so good.
That is great to hear. I’m glad your experience is going very well! Yes, I totally agree club in The Club Mobay is so worth it. Fingers crossed your vacation continues on a great path, enjoy!
I’ve been dreaming of and saving for going to Sandals Negril for over 20 years. Finally booked it for 9/23. I’ve watched every promotional video and was so hyped. And along came you. Glad my expectations are knocked down a peg. But also bummed.
I am glad you came across our videos. You are staying at a different sandals resort in Jamaica, so just remember it could be a different experience for you as each resort is very different. I am hoping you have an amazing stay, my only thing would be the food is not what we expected but we are big foodies. Our experience was not what we expected, But every resort is different, so I hope you have a amazing time. Let us know how it is!😊
We love Sandals. Ochi is the cheapest resort they have and is also spread out. It also hasn’t been updated in a long time. I wouldn’t be deterred. You will have a fantastic time
We're at sandals ochi right now and it's everything I dreamed and imagined. In some ways even better. I think you will love it. Don't let this skew your view.
We leave Sunday for this trip to Ochi. We have club mobay. And a private lift to the resort. We booked the candle lit dinner because of your review. We do not have a butler room but club level. We plan on booking a cabana several days. Anything you would recommend?!?!
That is exciting!! You will absolutely love the dinner it was amazing. Definitely try and plan dinner around the nightly entertainment as we found it was AMAZING and the staff there wonderful. Other than that sounds like you have a perfect trip planned!
I really don't see anything to complain about in this video. It's pretty much a standard all-inclusive resort with butler service. The only thing worth complaining about is the fact that they never emailed your reservation to the lounge people at the airport. Other than that, I honestly think you are reaching- especially the guy. I also sensed that the girl was feeding off the guy's energy. It's funny how someone being negative can transfer their energy to the other person. Must have ruined the entire trip for her. You can't convince me otherwise so don't try.
What was your opinion of the Hop? Something turning me off of Ochi is having to take the transportation between like it’s almost a different resort. But was it not bad at all? Did you stay beachside or hillside?
We found the hop to be pretty quick and convenient! We were on the hillside. However it was kind of annoying having to take a bus anytime we wanted a different restaurant, show, or just the beach. It wasn’t bad I would say but it was a bit annoying/inconvenient. Luckily it was never a really long wait
Very informative video. My wife and I will be visiting Ochi in December staying in the Great House. It's our first time trying the Butler level so we want to see if it's worth it and what the hype is about. I thought about getting Club Mobay but I feel like it's not worth it when you're only in the lounge for less than 20-30 minutes, and there's a Sandals lounge at the airport. I thought Club Mobay came with the private airport transfer but I guess that's an extra cost. Either way, a little disappointing to spend nearly 2 hours on the tiny bus when they have the larger ones available, especially at Butler level. I was under the impression that Butler Level got private in-room check in with your butler but that doesn't appear to be your experience. Also a little disappointing. I'll be on the lookout for that while we're there. Finally, we visited Sandals Antigua for our honeymoon in 2021 and because we're big foodies the first thing I asked about was restaurants. I had a spreadsheet made up with hours, cuisine, and attire so I could easily select reservations when we arrived, only to be told everything online is incorrect and the restaurants have different hours. That was annoying but we rolled with it and got to eat everywhere we wanted, but definitely not wasting my time with that this time. Overall I try to tamper my expectations and enjoy relaxing. I feel like there are a lot of things that can go wrong but as long as I have a good time, have some drinks, and am full, I'm pretty happy.
Thank you for your comment! We were also surprised at the tiny bus for being a butler level suite. Now, technically, we did have a butler, private room check in. However, we had to go to the main lobby first and then she picked us up and drove us there and showed us the room in about two minutes gave us the phone and then headed out. That is funny you say that, I am very tight day, and I also had the same thing typed out and brought with me. I even had a itinerary made to give to my butler, right when we got there. And of course everything had to be switched around you two things online being incorrect. I hope you enjoy your experience, we did overall enjoy our stay, but it just was not exactly what we had expected prior. Let us know how it goes! ☺️
Unfortunately we did not know there was a “cheap and worst” sandals resort. We thought all sandals were held to the same standards. We liked the location and how many restaurants were available. We were unaware it was even the cheapest. Figured all sandals were held to the “high sandals quality”
Sadly this vacation was not what we were expecting- have you seen our other trips on our channel? This is the first vacation we have filmed that we were not very happy with

Is there another airport that closer to the resort ?
There is another airport (KIN) however it’s about the same distance to sandals ochi

That’s wrong if I pay for Butler, they should be taking care of me because that is in your price so that sucks
Yes we agree!

How much did you tip the butler after 5 days? Is there a daily norm window?
Sadly there is no norm window per say as we talked to a lot of people and each was very different. However we tipped between $20/$25 each day!
Did you book 2 different suites? Also are you posting. Any more Ochi videos?
Stay tuned and you will see why we have two different rooms! And yes we have much more to come. The next comes out tomorrow!
With club Mobay did they assist with luggage? Thinking it’s worth the money to skip the lines but not sure of all the amenities with that!
They assisted with your luggage once you got through all of the security checkpoints. Once you get to the lounge area, they take your bags for you!
Pre-Covid they had a full bar in the Sandals lounge - sadly I doubt they ever bring it back.
Wow good to know! Yeah many things pre Covid for a lot of resorts haven’t come back sadly
Well Sandals get to cut back on what they put in the Sandals lounge.
Great video! I think you guys would like the Montego Bay or Royal Barbados Sandals resorts better😊
Thank you for the recommendation, we will have to check out one of those resorts 😊
You got the hook up but I love southwest ..
We also fly southwest quite a bit!
My husband and I hated this resort. Such a disappointment. I find it my life's mission to warn others!!
I’m glad to hear that we are not crazy for disliking it! Thanks for the comment
And I also see you found my two kitty buddies from the HIllside! Bob was more skittish than Marley.
Awwww they have names?! So so cute
We always use Club Mobay and we definitely always book direct!!
Good to know! We will always book direct from now on
Kelly’s dockside is reservation only as well
Oh good to know! We did not make it there this trip
No offense but you guys picked the cheapest and worse ranked sandals resort. What do you expect?
Unfortunately we did not know there was a “cheap and worst” sandals resort. We thought all sandals were held to the same standards. We liked the location and how many restaurants were available. We were unaware it was even the cheapest. Figured all sandals were held to the “high sandals quality”
It’s a vacation you seem uptight on most of these videos next time relax a little lol
Sadly this vacation was not what we were expecting- have you seen our other trips on our channel? This is the first vacation we have filmed that we were not very happy with
Comes across as very negative and condescending. Just sayin
Sorry about that, we were disappointed with our sandals trip as we had higher expectations for that company
Not sure I’d base my opinion of Sandals, on Ocho Rios. Realize it’s there company, but they also own much better (in my opinion).
