Ocho Rios is one of my favourite towns on the island. You may have heard of it; it’s well-known for some of Jamaica’s top attractions such as Dunn’s River Falls, Mystic Mountain and Dolphin Cove, among many others. We like to refer to it as the capital of adventure. There is never a dull day in Ochi.

With all these awesome attractions, Ocho Rios is a great area to stay and spend your vacation in Jamaica. But where to stay? Boutique hotels are a great choice.

Now, why boutique hotels? Well, they're like the hidden gems of the hospitality world. These places are all about character, charm, and a personalised experience.

Unlike the big chain hotels, boutiques are often smaller, intimate, and uniquely designed, giving you a taste of the local flavour. And trust me, Ocho Rios has some fantastic boutique options that'll make your stay unforgettable.

Top Boutique Hotels in Ocho Rios:

1. Jamaica Inn:

The Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, situated on a private beach, offers tastefully decorated suites with furnished balconies or verandas that look out over the Caribbean Sea. This chic resort features a spa on the beach and an outdoor pool. Every contemporary, air-conditioned suite features a sofa, a ceiling fan, and free Wi-Fi. Complimentary toiletries are provided for guests and can be found in the private restroom.

There’s a private beach with sun loungers and a covered palapa area. You can get a complimentary glass of punch every morning, and lunch can be provided at the beach upon request. Fresh soups, salads, and light fare are served for lunch, and monthly lobster evenings are part of the ever-changing dinner menu.

For entertainment, you have options such as croquet, kayaking and snorkelling. If there are other water activities you’d like to experience, they can be booked at other attractions close by and the hotel staff will happily assist. to the boutique hotel. This 48-room boutique hotel was the honeymoon spot for Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller. Today, it is a sought-after destination for sophisticated couples and lovers who cuddle up in guest villas, cottages, and bungalows.

2. GoldenEye:

If you’re a James Bond fan then you might be familiar with this one. Famed novelist Ian Fleming, who gained notoriety for the character of James Bond, lived and wrote much of the series at his Oraccabessa home, GoldenEye. Plus! renowned music producer Chris Blackwell is the current owner of the property.

A bit more on the pricey side, GoldenEye often caters to an affluent audience who can book a night in the author's residence, the Fleming Villa, or pick from a choice of lagoon cottages, villas, and beach huts.

This boutique hotel, though located just outside of Ocho Rios, is one of the best in northern Jamaica and can’t be left off this list. GoldenEye is a quirky, stylish retreat with a history that adds an extra layer of cool. The lagoon cottages and beach huts offer a unique stay, and the overall vibe is a laid-back luxury.

3. Hermosa Cove - Jamaica's Villa Hotel:

If you're into art and nature, Hermosa Cove is your spot. Scattered over 12 acres, Hermosa Cove is a collection of villas offering different degrees of luxury. For those who would prefer to be closer to nature, they offer a treehouse villa in addition to traditional lodgings with basic rooms.

You have two dining options on the property, Christophers, their primary restaurant, and The Broken Rudder, the casual option. Want a taste of what Ochi offers outside of these selections? Here are some amazing options.

4. Sand and Tan Beach Hotel:

The Sand And Tan Beach Hotel in Ocho Rios offers 20 individually decorated rooms with free Wi-Fi, refrigerators, LED TVs, minibars, and room service. The hotel has a private white sand beach, a restaurant, and rooms with private balconies. Each room faces the beach (so you will always have a beautiful view) and is fully air-conditioned with travel essentials you may need.

You can choose between a continental or Jamaican breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, and dishes from local and international cuisines. The hotel is operated by German management and has bilingual staff speaking English and German. Excursions and laundry facilities are available.

The hotel is 3 km from Prospect Plantation Tours, 8 km from Dunns River Falls, and 1 hour and 30 minutes drive from Sangster International Airport.

5. Sandals Royal Plantation:

For the ultimate romantic getaway, Sandals Royal Plantation is a winner. It's an all-butler boutique resort, meaning you'll be treated like royalty. Set on a bluff with panoramic ocean views, it's a paradise for couples. The private beach and exquisite dining options make it a dreamy escape.

Now, what makes these boutique hotels great? It's not just about the Insta-worthy aesthetics, though that's a big part. The intimate atmosphere means you get personalized attention so you won't feel like just another guest.

Local touches are everywhere, from the décor to the menu. These places often collaborate with local artists, chefs, and businesses, giving you a genuine taste of Jamaican culture. And let's not forget the exclusivity – fewer rooms mean fewer people, so you're not fighting for a poolside lounger or waiting in line for breakfast.

In Ocho Rios, boutique hotels add that extra layer of magic to an already enchanting destination. Whether you're here for a romantic getaway, a solo adventure, or a family vacation, these boutique beauties ensure your stay is as unique as the place itself.

Boutique Hotels may vary in prices; some can be quite affordable, while others, especially luxury options can be costly. However, if you are working with a budget and trying to figure out the best way to get the most out of Jamaica without overspending, our E-book Jamaica On A Budget, will be useful.
