We loved the location! And we loved the staff! Top notch. Super awesome people the only thing we didn’t like was we needed a really nice shower at the end of the day and that needs improvements.
Thank you for having us.
The breakfast was great however we had to wait so long to get breakfast and nobody was attending to us . We had to ask one of the staff . However, I highly recommend San and Tan Beach Hotel and my husband and I had an amazing time.
Unique property by the sea. Basic needs met plus breakfast. My go to place ☺️

Room is ok. But no tv in the room bathroom has smell but not too bad it’s just old building smells something like that. Bed is awful, my partner got bed bug bites. About property is decent, it would be different experience if we chose the ocean side not the garden side. But people in the property are very nice no complain. And restaurant in the property is very good.
After researching online and reading tons of reviews for many hotels, resorts, and bnb's in and around Ocho Rios, we booked a 6-night stay at Sand and Tan, and I'm so incredibly glad we did!
Breakdown:
What the other reviews got RIGHT:
This hotel is right on the beach and has all of the basics. Our room was exactly as advertised and clean. Basic housekeeping was included. Small fridge, microwave, AC that worked great, WIFI that had no issues, hair dryer, safe, and an ironing board. Nothing too fancy- just the basic amenities I believe most would expect.
Breakfast was included- and it was great! Eggs any way, bacon, sausage, waffles, and more!
The restaurant menu was more or less identical to what they have on their website- a mixture of Greek, Jamaican, and American dishes, about $20-$25 per plate. We ate there at least once a day and were very happy with the food.
The staff was fine. Most were friendly; some were busy at times, but none were rude or unwelcoming.
They do offer day passes for beach and bar access, so on days when there is a cruise ship in port, they get busy for a while, and on weekends- specifically Friday evening and all day Saturday- they are swamped with people who buy the day passes. During these times, it was harder to get service.
The beach and river were incredible. Gorgeous. And all of the rooms have a view. For us, it was worth not having super fancy all-inclusiveness to be steps from the beach!
Note: have to Uber into the city.

The room was clean. Only 2 towels. No wash clothes or hand towels or bath mat. There was no hot water for showers. Only luke warm water. The hair dryer didn't work and we had to ask twice to get a hair dryer sent to the room. Also had to ask twice for wash clothes.
The breakfast was very good and the staff was always kind and pleasant. The beach bar and the staff there was great.
I've stayed there many times before and this was not the same as what we've come to expect.

I liked that my room was close by the ocean, hearing the ocean waves and roaring was all I needed.
All rooms have a beautiful ocean view, the hotel provides access to paddle boards, the complimentary breakfasts were amazing, and the beach was beautiful.
Everyone was absolutely amazing from the front desk to a delicious Jamaican breakfast to my wonderful girl michell and Ingrid at the bar to my wonderful housekeeper Janice absolutely loved
