Sandcastles Holiday #C9
An emblem of refined contemporary opulence in Ocho Rios, Sandcastles Holiday #C9 stands as a vibrant testament to an idyllic Caribbean escape. Perched gracefully on a cliff overlooking the glistening azure waves, its canary yellow facade echoes the charm of a Jamaican Great House. As guests arrive, they are welcomed with a complimentary rum punch or a refreshing juice, setting the tone for a memorable stay. The lobby is awash in natural light, framed by piquant tropical flora; here, a nod to Jamaica's artistic heritage can be seen in the local art adorning the walls. Beyond the lobby, the hotel unveils a collection of spacious suites, each thoughtfully designed with comfort and style, offering terraces that invite the gentle sea breeze. The property entices patrons with its cliffside pool, complete with a slide for the adventurous, a small gym fitted with modern equipment, and a lively bar, Sandbar, where cocktails flow and laughter fills the air.
Explore the Local Area
Sandcastles Holiday #C9 is ideally situated just a stone's throw from Ocho Rios's main attractions. The nearby Ocho Rios craft market is perfect for souvenir hunting, while the enchanted landscapes of Dunn's River Falls and Park are only three kilometers away, beckoning with their cascading waterfalls. A two-hour drive to Port Antonio reveals a lesser-known paradise that enthralled 1940s Hollywood icons like Errol Flynn, where emerald hills meet the horizon. Just 20 kilometers from the hotel, Ian Fleming International Airport allows for seamless travel, while Norman Manley International Airport, located 75 kilometers away, offers further connectivity. Shop, dine, and explore at Island Village, just 0.3 kilometers from the resort; the vibrant local cuisine, from Italian to spicy Jamaican fare, ensures that every meal is an adventure.

Each unit, featuring air conditioning and equipped with a full kitchen, includes flat-screen TVs with cable channels, plush beds boasting camelback headboards, and terraces providing serene garden or ocean views. Rounding out the comfort are private bathrooms outfitted with inviting showers, while the clever layout ensures families and couples alike can find their bliss in this tropical retreat.
Room Upgrades
Upgraded room options include spacious one-bedroom suites at approximately 800 sq ft, designed for relaxation with separate living areas; two-bedroom apartments, expanding to around 1,200 sq ft for families or groups, include expansive kitchens ideal for self-catering with top-notch appliances; all suites feature luxurious linens, expansive terraces, and delightful garden or ocean vistas. Tailored amenities-such as the option of requesting a complimentary late check-out-are available for guests wishing to extend their experience at Sandcastles Holiday #C9.
“Studios, one, and two-bedroom apartments are available, with full kitchens that give a real sense of home, located right on the beach near Ocho Rios Bay. I particularly like the idea of scheduled activities and tennis on-site. This could be a smart pick for families wanting both convenience and a bit of local flavor.”
