Ocho Rios Hotel Guide - Turtle River Park hotels in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

"Food quality on the buffet was poor"

"The location of the hotel was great, given that it was right on the main street, making things easily accessible. The hotel bordered a gully though, which was in a deplorable state. The dining staff were great. We had aurhentic, tasty Jamaican food for breakfast.....even our toddler loved it. The bedroom and bathroom could use a bit more cleaning though and the pool was closed for most of our stay. The staff were polite, buy not very hospitable. Overall, the hotel was modern, provided clean enough, carpet free space that was close to all the amenities in Ocho Rios, including the beach and shopping areas, but needed a little bit more to get to five star quality. "

"This was a very impromptu booking and it was a smooth check in. The location is great. Nice clean pool and pool bar with drinks for purchase. Clean establishment. Reliable air conditioning. Onsite eats for purchase and a convenience store/shop."

"Clean room, Great Staff, Awesome Top Beach View, and Air Conditioning cools very well."

"My father and I recently returned from a stay at Sandcastles - and I would wholeheartedly recommend the resort to anyone looking for a very friendly, local, and down-to-earth stay! As we first arrived, check-in was quite simple and staff was very friendly and swift to help us learn. Every day&night the resort had great food options either up top at the Silver Sands restaurant, or at the bar near the pool; the Castle Blu, with good drinks and great staff at both locations! The Itadone Variety store also came in quite handy for some emergency late night snacks, and again the fellows who ran the store were very accomodating and helpful! I'll also mention that Sandcastles sits right next to the entrance to the ORBB- a rather nice, cute, and secure beach! Finally I'm going to shout out a bunch of amazing people who made our trip so great (in no particular order) - An-Mari at the front desk who was always happy to provide information/assist us with any issues we had, Both of the amazing Marie's who were day/night shift bartenders at the Castle Blu, Mark the chef at Castle Blu, Andrew the artist, Rasta Demus, and my man Kevin - who always kept us entertained, assisted us with anything we needed, and provided plenty of laughs & friendship, Kerry-Ann, our fantastic waitress every time we went to the Silver Sands restaurant, who always looked well after us, Finally, Jenine the great housekeeper, Paul the property manager, and Syd the lifeguard always made sure our stay was very clean!"

"Our stay was amazing! My family of four was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. My favorite part of the property was the rooftop patio. Even though you can see the ocean from several windows, the patio had such a nice view of the ocean and the mountains, and it was a nice private place to relax while getting that fresh ocean breeze. It was my secret hideaway when I wanted a moment to myself. The location is also near the grocery store, restaurants and not far from tourist attractions either. Perfect getaway!!"

"I had a great Dahlia kept in touch the whole time to make sure I was ok I am very grateful my room was very clean and comfortable I was able to get stuff to take back home the shops were next door very convenient."

"Information while being a guest was very hard to come by. I literally did not know any details about the property and there was no information in the room either. The view was spectacular, l still don’t know about the amenities of the place."
