Before You Arrive at Beaches Ocho Rios
From the moment you arrive at Beaches Ocho Rios, you'll find yourself surrounded by beauty and immersed in the warm hospitality the island is known for. And while you'll find everything you need at your fingertips, if it's not there, all you need to do is ask your butler, concierge or the front desk. But before you arrive on the island you might find the information below helpful to ensure your Jamaica holiday runs smoothly.
Arrivals
Upon arrival at Montego International Airport, look for the Sandals or Beaches desk or lounge, conveniently located right outside the Immigration and Customs area. Your complimentary transfer to and from the resort will be arranged by Beaches.
Included Airport Transfers
Climb aboard your air-conditioned bus and enjoy your included roundtrip airport transfer from Montego Bay International Airport to Beaches Ocho Rios. It's a 90 minute ride to the resort, so sit back, relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery.
BUTLER GUESTS
If you have booked a butler-level room category, you can expect unimaginably supreme standard of service and luxury. As part of the extra pampering, you can inform your butler about some personal preferences before you arrive at the resort. To do that, click here. As a butler guest, even your luggage gets special treatment. As such, make sure you have a name tag on all your luggage pieces, including your carry-on items.
