  D12- by far the best apartment i have stayed in at Sandcastles and i have stayed in more than 8! The owner Jennifer is prompt and friendly when replying to all queries, i felt at ease booking with her. Her driver Dennis who picked me and my son up from the airport was ontime and he wore a Palmview tshirt so i was able to recognise him straight away at Montego Bay busy airport. This apartment is clean and very comfortable, most apartments ive stayed in just about has enough cups, this one has pots,pans, jugs more than enough cutlery, a toast sandwich maker and lots more in the kitchen. The computer has fast internet connection which helped, and a tv in the living room and bedroom which is a bonus as most apartments provide just 1 tv in the main room. There is also a powerful ipod/iphone speaker so i was able to play my music on my iphone while getting ready to go out! Along with a seperate cd stereo player. The shower unit is powerful with hot water and i like the fact that it has sliding doors instead of a shower curtain, the floor stayed dry. English sockets for if you dont have an adapter and also cable in both rooms. Also the owner has provided magazines and childrens books for the rainy days in (along with the computer and alot of cable channels available, you cant be bored). Stephanie who is the helper, she cleaned the apartment everyday was always available by phone if i had a query and lives locally. Although i had a car , Sandcastles is located in a spot where everything is walking distance from eating out to going to the supermarkets and walking to the the clubs and beach. Also opposite is Turtle Park, a park you can go and chill and watch the turtles and large fishes swim by. The car park in Sandcastles is big and security are onsite 24/7 Im planning my next trip end of this year and i will definately contact Jennifer again. Lovely apartment in a beautiful country

  The hotel was vey well known .really close to the beach with all shops and bars very near.you can walk everywhere. has a private car park and very safe. The hotel was not busy and the bar was closed but i dont drink so it didnt bother me, but if u do the liquer is cheap in the supermarket across the road. This palce is great if u want some peace and quite instead of a loud and busy hotel. This one bed appartment had wifi,tv,music player,nice veiw.smoking area,ac hot water and cozy.This room is private owned room.Jeni gave us a good price so it was cheaper then a hotel.Coming back and staying here. WE COOKED FOR OURSELF AND HAD A FRIDGE FOR ALL LEFT OVERS. MUSIC SYSTEM WHICH I LINKED UP WITH MY IPHONE. I FORGOT MY PHONE IN THE ROOM AND THE OWNER JUST POSTED IT BACK TO ME. SO LOST NOTHIN AND GAINED A GREAT TIME IN JAMAICA. WILL DEFO COME BACK TO JENI'S APPARTMENT @ SANDCASTLES.

  A wonderful stay at Jennifers Columbus Heights studio apartment. This was a great location in Ocho Rios which is a great location in jamaica for those who are new to the island. The location is close to fishermans beach which is a great place run by the locals who will cook up anything thing that you request. The unit itself has a great view, is clean with all the amenites one would need. Its great for a single woman or couple on a budget. Jennifer is a great resource and a wealth of information. I will certainly return.

  Welcome to Ochee, the very true and unique experience, if you're not planning to get bored on city beach! Walk around, meet people, try food, go nightclubs, hire a cab, get into the country, see the real Jamaica. Skycastles at Columbus Heights is actually an ideal place to stay at Ochee - it's not in the center of the city, where all sorts of tourists wandering around, and it's not far from all point of interest. It's a bit up the hill, so you get your very own ocean view from above. 5 minutes walk and you're in the middle of the busy street with shops, craftmarkets, restaurants and all. The beach is right there. Our apartment had everything you need - 2 rooms with one bedroom, TV set, free wi-fi, shower, small kitchenette, ceiling fans, aircon, balcony and pool right by the building. The rooms were clean and comfortable and maintained by daily maid service. We were told the maid could even cook for us something local, but we didn't have chance to try it - you don't seat much and eat at home in Jamaica. Jennifer, the host, is truly hearty and welcoming person. She helped us in every way, starting from complex communication prior to booking, using emails, phone calls, Skype, Western Union transfers and everything. Arranged taxi transfer from Kingston to Ochee. When we arrived, she was not only meeting us at the doors, but even provided us with some very convenient grocery at that moment and local mobile phone (!). If you are a friendly person, you might get a chance to see things and places tourists usually don't see - Jennifer could take you on her own transport to show beautiful local beaches, villages and people. We were truly amazed with our vacation in Ochee, we didn't expect such wonderful experience.

  We had a brillent time staying at Jennifer's apartment in Sandcastles resort it was great we had the use of a laptop, and the mobile phone, this was so helpful as my Iphone was not working. My husband and son had such a relaxing time and liked the idea that the beach was less than a minute away. The apartment we felt was better than the pictures. We shall be heading back this christmas.
