Apartment Treasure at Sandcastles

This is very good

Everything is perfect as far as I say

Location, ease of access to everything from pool to beach to food to shopping it was central to all necessary access point.

Wish there were screens on windows and slicing doors to keep bugs and insects out while allow fresh ocean breeze in. Didn't like the cot for sleep not comfortable for a child let alone an Adult. Suggestion: A full size futon that served as extra seating in the daytime and a fold out bed at night. Or a set of bunk beds with one twin bed 🛌 far more comfortable. Adult size throw/covers as the ones present are not sufficient for adults. Place where toilet rolls are properly secured, did not like having them loose ontop of the toilet tank for many reasons…😉

Everything was great. The location, the house was nice ,the back view of the beach. Jean was a great host though my whole stay. I will be visiting again.

I liked everything.

Everything mentioned above

Leaving!

Location

A bit noisy since they had some construction going on

Nothing

Ok

We dine 🍽 for most of our meals at the restaurant above the premises. Which was fantastic, no complaints.

Everything was brilliant our needs, but the only thing as an observer was an instruction manual of how to operate the appliances & where items are, this would be so helpful.

I didn’t get any breakfast I prepared my own meal . But was I suppose to get free breakfast ?

The stove

Property is in a great location. Center of Ocho Rios everything you’d like to do is within walking distance. This area really gives you a great experience of Jamaica , not anything compared to the limited experience on the resorts.

There are little to no complaints at this property. Some nights the pool sign read “closed” but evening / after hours staff were very accommodating to allow us entry (no life guards on duty). Great music from the bar, wasn’t loud that it disturbed us in our room either. Which was located on the first floor, very convenient to run in and out for short trips from the beach.

Clean friendly

In the center of town. Easy access to shops, restaurants and public transportation. Very close to the beach.

Not enough security, can be quite noisy at night.

The location of the property was perfect for our needs. The staff were friendly, welcoming and responsive. The bar was fun and the food was nice

The WiFi could be better The pool area needs more shade as in gazebo’s or umbrellas

The all 14th day from start to finish was amazing the staff at the apartment was very friendly made us all feel at home very clean everything centre has a grill and bar on site the food from the bar very good Marie the bar excellent the food outstanding music love in the evening would stay again

I liked everything outstanding place

We love the location, beach is right there, cleanliness of the property, easy walk to the town, polite staff, entertainment at pool side, nice and clean pool. We are definitely vacationing here again.

We would have love to have complementary breakfast, omelets, egg and cheese, ackee with food, porridge, coffee or tea. Guess should have been allowed to enter beach from the back gate. This is not a complaint but only to enhance the experience.

Centrally located.

More locals than expected.

1. Lovely cosy venue 2. Close to the beach and other activities 3. Jean was always available and helpful 4. The locals were so friendly

1. WiFi wasn’t very good

Comfortable and right next to the beach

The location was great, the accommodation, as always, was nice. The host and housekeeper are very responsive. The proximity to the beach, restaurants and other locations makes this apartment the perfect getaway for families, leisure etc

A few necessities can be provided in apartment to start with, eg paper towel in kitchen, trash or plastic bags to line trash receptacles.

The host was so courteous, very friendly and helpful. The apartment was just perfect. There is all you need even 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms what makes it definitely easier. Was such a great stay! The pool bar was really nice with very delicious food and the stuff was so nice and friendly too! We loved it. Highly recommend this place. It is very good located.

Very nice apartment, very well equipped and comfortable. Located practically in the beach which was beautiful and very convenient. There is also a nice small pool with a bar. Small kitchen good for warming up food and storing leftovers but not for heavy cooking. Owner was very nice and helpful

The pool bar is very noisy at night, we were warned ahead of time to expect the noise and luckily we are heavy sleepers, but for those who don't enjoy the partying or have a light sleep this could be an inconvenience

The airbnb was very clean and the location was great. We could walk to grocery stores, restaurants , and nightclubs. The bar near the pool was fun with music and Jamaica food. Everything worked great : hot water and pressure, AC, TV . I loved having 2 bathrooms and bedrooms. Local beach. Lastly, the owner, Jean, was very helpful and resourceful . I loved that the cleaning fee covered all the cleaning. We just turned the lights and AC off. I highly recommend this apartment.

The kitchen had no basic supplies like salt, pepper, oliver oil, aluminum, etc. The pans are in poor shape. They had the Teflon coming off. The upstairs unit above us was under construction. They worked 2 days until 11 pm with loud hammering and drilling .

The room was very clean and smells fresh. The host was very responsive. The receptionist is very helpful, kind, and nice. Security personnel were very nice. I like how close in proximity the Airbnb is to the beach.

Well, I love music and can fall asleep with music. However, I feel like other guest may have a problem with music playing at the pool through out the nights.

The place was clean and beautiful. Beach pool and restaurants and stores were close by the people were very friendly I will definitely come back.

The location was perfect

It was ok

location was perfect easy access too the beach, kfc and Burger King only a 5 minute walk. the pool side and bar was our favourite every morning we went for a swim.

nothing everything was perfect

There were LOUD partying EACH night I was there on Friday and Saturday, Blasting music into 1AM. My kids and myself had a hard time falling asleep. The window was off rail, that certainly did not help! Gross Water Kettle, completely not cleaned still had either milk or mineral deposits on it. All Pots and Pans were not stick yet had deep scratches in it. Certainly not safe to use. The safe box key did not function. You could not get it to open once closed. The host offered us to leave because of the loud partying directly outside our bedroom, said she would refund 2 days. Until today, the refund has not been completed. More disappointing was Jean’s attitude. She was very dismissive about the noise issue, said it was not her problem. I just thought that she should have informed us, knowing that we had THREE Young Children with us. With the people smoking Weed and Loud Partying 50 feet from your bedroom was just too much for us. She should have at least informed us. The fire Alarm system which was directly behind our bedroom door, also was beeping the entire night. There was NO dining table, contrary to the description. There were high chairs for the kitchen island with no where to put your legs. The host did not provide ANY paper towel during the stay. Only Hand soap in one of the bathrooms. Each bathroom had Only One Light working. Also some sheets smelled really funky, I brought it up to Jean and she insisted that it was washed but the smell of the pillow case and the sheet was so strong that we had to cover it with towels during the first night. Jean was upset when we checked in the property four hours late. We checked in at 9pm instead of 5 due to a delay in our flight. She blamed us for coming late after we were already exhausted by the delay in the flights, with three young children, after finally making it to the property at 9PM.

The apartment was clean and modernly furnished, the kitchen was well kitted out and the bedrooms have AC. The rooms where cleaned often.There are stores and bars within walking distance and we found a local cafe that we had porridge from most mornings - cornmeal, hominy etc. The Jerk centre and Island village restaurants are also nearby. My family enjoyed their stay at the apartment.

The location was perfect and within close proximity to everything we wanted. The host was amazing, very responsive and accommodating to questions.

Outside the apartment (to the front) was an area with water that needed fixing-seemed to be settled water.. Otherwise it was ideal

Everything

The apartment had everything we needed and all facilities. I loved the location and the apartment was tastefully decorated and modern. The proximity to the beach was wonderful and also to the local attractions such as Dunns River Falls. Dolphin Cove and many more we just minutes away. There is a lovely restaurant on site but there is also lots of great options a stones throw away and plenty of local shopping options. The apartment gave us a holiday with the best of both worlds.

I don't honestly have anything to add here more than if u did have any concerns, communication with the host was excellent so any issues could resolved quickly

The rooms were nicely decorated, the kitchen had ample cookware, a decent size fridge, a nice toaster & microwave. Nice living room furniture. AC & fans worked great. I liked the fact that racks were available to hang wet laundry. Very comfortable for a home away from home. I would stay there again. Worth the rental cost.

The queen size bed was more like a full size bed. Mattresses need to be upgraded. They were a bit uncomfortable for me. Television is complicated to use. I was never able to watch TV in the Master bedroom.

This apartment is exactly as pictured. It's updated and absolutely lovely inside. We stayed as a family of 4. Our children swam every day and we had access to the beach. There is a restaurant on site. It's located close to everything that Ocho Rios has to offer. Jean stayed in contact with me throughout my stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Jean!

The only thing I didn't like was that the restaurant by the bar didn't post prices and their prices seemed to change when my husband and I would ho resulting in us only ordering from there 1 time. The restaurant upstairs had posted prices so we ate there more often. The food was good at both places though.

Accommodation is as advertised, clean, comfortable and had all I required. Being on ground floor was a plus for me. It's centrally located - close to all amenities on and of site. Thanks Jean and Karen.

There's no a/c in living room area. Apartment directly opposite pool/bar area hence noisy until late. Music bar area played until around midnight. Thereafter sadly some guests made noise until around 1.30/2am nightly.
