Carib-Ocho Rios Sea & Country Club → Sandals Ocho Rios → Sandals Grande Riviera → Sandals Ochi Beach Resort
Carib-Ocho Rios Sea & Country Club.
- Opened 1960. Completed in 1961.
- In 1970 the hotel was for sale by auction. See clipping.
- In 1989 it became the Sandals Ocho Rios Hotel.
- In 2000 it merged with Ciboney Resorts – which is directly inland – to become the Sandals Grande Ocho Rios.
- In 2004, Sandals undertook a major upgrade. Now 100 acres and 529 rooms. New furniture, more restuarants, and now ten bars including two swim-up pool bars. The Ciboney part, on the hillside, now called the Grande Sport Villa Golf Resort and Spa, became the Sandals Grande Riviera. And the beachfront site became Sandals Ocho Rios.
- Now is Sandals Ochi Beach Resort. The hillside villas are now called Sandals All Butler Villas. All have their own swimming pool. To see them, zoom out once and drag to the southwest.
