An introduction to Sandcastles Resort

If you're looking for a basic, self-catering hotel in Jamaica, Sandcastles provides just that with an individual touch. With turrets and archways, this hotel has truly earned its name, modelling its exterior on a medieval castle. In the centre of these protective walls, you will find the pool, and take a few steps outside the hotel to find yourself on the golden sands of Turtle Beach. The rooms in this no-frills hotel vary in decor and standards, but are in a convenient location for shops and restaurants. There is an on-site restaurant and low-key entertainment on the pool-side terrace, with Ocho Rios close at hand for an evening out.

Travel longhaul with Thomson Airways and you can look forward to…

  • 33-inch seat pitch as standard – that's more legroom in longhaul economy than BA, Virgin Atlantic, bmi and Monarch*
  • Comfy leather seats
  • Cutting-edge seatback entertainment
Upgrade to Premium Class and you'll get all this plus at least a whopping 36 inches all to yourself. Talk about living the high life!

I stayed at this hotel as other reviews had said it was a great place to stay. Well it was terrible. After a 6 hour delay I arrived at the hotel 2am to be greeted in my room by cockroaches. I demanded a new room, that was the same with no air conditioning.... more on this review
