"The resort was fine. Some areas needed updating but overall the resort is in good condition and our stay was a good one. The main problem with our stay was the with about half (or more than half) of the staff members. Generally, they were just unfriendly and unwelcoming. If you asked for something, they would oblige, but it felt like you were bothering them or they were disgusted with serving you. Example is someone would give you a drink you ordered and you smile and say thank you and they just walk away...no smile, no you are welcome. Just dismissive. Also, getting a drink sometimes there would be 4 people behind the bar, with none of them serving anyone or anything and they would just let you stand there. They would make eye contact and ignore you and make you wait for 60-90 seconds. Just weird, like i was an inconvenience they were hoping would just walk away. Very strange and unwelcoming. Other servers/bartenders were great. But the positive experiences were only about 30% of the time. Beach was nice, but not great removal of seaweed from the beach. Advertised using red flag in the sand to summon a server to bring drinks to you on the beach but service was so slow that I would just go get my own. Pool was okay. Pool bar was same hit or miss service regarding friendliness/service. I will say Anthony at the pool bar was Great! Room was cleaned every day very nicely. Exercise room was clean, but 1 of 3 treadmills were broken. Good stay, not great. "

"After researching online and reading tons of reviews for many hotels, resorts, and bnb's in and around Ocho Rios, we booked a 6-night stay at Sand and Tan, and I'm so incredibly glad we did! Breakdown: What the other reviews got RIGHT: This hotel is right on the beach and has all of the basics. Our room was exactly as advertised and clean. Basic housekeeping was included. Small fridge, microwave, AC that worked great, WIFI that had no issues, hair dryer, safe, and an ironing board. Nothing too fancy- just the basic amenities I believe most would expect. Breakfast was included- and it was great! Eggs any way, bacon, sausage, waffles, and more! The restaurant menu was more or less identical to what they have on their website- a mixture of Greek, Jamaican, and American dishes, about $20-$25 per plate. We ate there at least once a day and were very happy with the food. The staff was fine. Most were friendly; some were busy at times, but none were rude or unwelcoming. They do offer day passes for beach and bar access, so on days when there is a cruise ship in port, they get busy for a while, and on weekends- specifically Friday evening and all day Saturday- they are swamped with people who buy the day passes. During these times, it was harder to get service. The beach and river were incredible. Gorgeous. And all of the rooms have a view. For us, it was worth not having super fancy all-inclusiveness to be steps from the beach! Note: have to Uber into the city. "

"Everything was great. The staff were amazing, and they make you feel very welcome. The beach is beautiful and private. They have so many things you can do on the property and will help organize any adventure outside the property as well. The owner was there and made sure to introduce himself to us when we arrived. I understand why many guests we met there have been coming for so long. We will definitely return. "

"The facility is isolated on a hill and challenging to get there. The roads are poor. These issues are not the fault of the hotel but the hotel did not do much to compensare for these negatives. We seemed to be the only guest there but they were not very helpful and not very accomodation as I would expect. The upstairs were we stayed smelt mouldy.It had a bad mouldly smell. We ask if we could go downstair, but the attendant stated that they have 2 rooms and would cost more. Other issues, the washroom faucette was not working, ie no water came out came. Additionally, the water pressure in the tub was very low. We ask about these 3 times and he said that they were working on it. He told us that it should be fixed once when we returned from dinner. Three hrs later we returned and the water issues were not resolved. The AC ran continuously without the ability to turn it off and make changes. The TV and internet were all not non-functionally. Given all these malfunctions and lack of help by the staff, we simply checked after a few hours at 9pm and drove all the way to my brother's house in Portmore. "

"Expedia didn’t communicate with owner about our stay otherwise great "
