Sand and Tan Beach Hotel

A small hotel at the mouth of the White River near Ocho Rios, with sea-facing rooms looking onto its own stretch of white-sand beach. The on-site restaurant mixes Jamaican and Greek cooking, and river rafting, snorkelling and kayaking are all close by.

It’s generally run with an adults-oriented, European feel and bilingual staff, with breakfast typically included — a quieter alternative to Ocho Rios’ bigger resorts, a short drive from the town centre.
