Pros:

The parking area was okay. I didn’t like the location of our room. When I booked for the room I requested the Ocean View, but it wasn’t. The mattress was very uncomfortable. The staff was exceptionally nice. The location was very convenient but my biggest disappointment was my room.

It would be nice if we were told we could go to the beach free , also get discounts on on certain attraction in the area . Also a little Kitchenette or a microowave would have been nice . Why stock the fridge and as to pay for what’s in it .

Pros:

Friendly staff and convenient food options in just walking distance. I didn't like the fact that the parking space was small. But i can see past that. Definitely going back next year and may spend a longer time.

Pros:

I had a disappointing experience at Ocean View Beach Hotel, which rents rooms in three-hour blocks and requires a US$50 cash-only deposit. At check-in, I was shocked to learn they wouldn’t accept a credit card for the deposit, leading to a frustrating process involving calls to the manager, who insisted on cash. This made check-in unnecessarily complicated and unpleasant. I paid the deposit but noted I’d be leaving early for a flight.

The hotel’s downtown location felt unsafe, with drug addicts and touts lingering nearby, making nighttime walks uncomfortable. Contrary to its name, my room had no ocean view, only a wall and stairwell, and was not located on the beach but rather in the middle of a municipal car park. On a positive note, the room was very clean. At 6 a.m., after inspecting the sheets, towels, minibar, and beds, the night watchman pulled my cash deposit from his pocket and returned it to me. As we left early, we found our car locked in the municipal parking area and had to navigate a confusing exit through an entrance gate as the other carpark gates were locked or blocked.

Due to the cash-only deposit policy, unsafe location, and short-term rental practice, I would not stay here again.

Charming location and comfortable accommodations.

Situated in the center of Ocho Rios, it offers parking facilities and an excellent team with outstanding customer service abilities. The pricing was also very reasonable. I felt secure and cozy during my stay, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
