A Decent Stay with Some Room for Improvement Overall, I had a nice time at Sand and Tan Hotel in Ocho Rios. The room was lovely and comfortable, but a few issues held me back from giving a higher rating. The bathroom could definitely use some updating—the shower knobs were quite stiff, which made it a bit difficult to use. The TV in the room also felt outdated. My biggest concern was the lack of reliable WiFi in the room. I was only able to get full access in the reception area or other communal spaces, which made it difficult to get work done during my stay. On the positive side, the music and general ambiance of the property were great. However, my room was located right beside the speakers, so at times it got a bit too loud for comfort. In terms of safety, I had some concerns about the parking situation. The lot felt too open and lacked adequate security. One night, I had to park near a bushy area with very little lighting, which made me uneasy leaving my car there overnight. Despite these drawbacks, the staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent customer service throughout my stay. The breakfast was also delicious and a definite highlight of the trip. With a few upgrades and improvements, this hotel has the potential to be a real gem.

Pictures do not tell a 1000 words

The property is located on a beautiful beach. However, I would not recommend these accommodation for anyone who cares about their health or cleanliness. The rooms are mouldy and the dampness is repugnant. The linens are less than fresh and smell as if they were washed in the nearby river. There is barely any water coming out of the shower as the leaks and the tub is slippery and obviously dirty shower curtain with grime and dirt at the end of the shower curtain.

This was a great hotel, great people, and it has a million $ view and a beautiful beach right in front of your bed room window!!! Also the ocean that connects to the river was such a dream and just a few steps away!!! My major reason for giving it better ratings. And very nice and helpful people taking care of the guests. Food was also great. The restaurant in the hotel had good food to offer. It is not a fancy and luxurious hotel and not new. Keep that in mind. I have a very high standard for cleanliness. It was ok. My only complains: I wish they had a better mattress, because of my bad back. But we managed with the foam cushings from the big chair and made it softer. A microwave in the room would be nice. But we managed with the water kettle. And: some trash will be seen outside the hotel area. The hotel keeps the hotel area clean, but a few steps out, not so much. At night all we heard just the waves from the ocean. BUT, waking up every morning to this million dollar view, and seeing the ocean right from our bed, was worth every minute of it. Make me forget my pains and more. We definitely would come back here again. We had a great stay. Thank you.

Spent 4 days there this past March. The view from the balcony of our room was beautiful But room could use more cleanliness Hot water in the bathroom was not hot. The place need a little more tic The pictures online when booking looks amazing but the reality is a little deceiving. If you’re an average traveler needing a place to stay and on budget, this is for you but if you’re looking for something nice well maintained and updated then this is not your style. On the other hand the staff was amazing. From the front counter girl Blu to Miss Janice to Romy to the owner omg they were really nice people We enjoyed interacting with them and everything we ask they did for us. Thank you

If you are looking for affordable, Sand and Tan is the place for you. You got the basics... beach, sun, music and free breakfast! Property appeared to be well managed and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the area to get to the hotel was very undesirable. I wouldn't feel safe leaving the property especially at night.
