Montego Bay Airport and Sandals Ochi Beach Resort Private Shuttle Review
Getting from Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport to Sandals Ochi Beach Resort doesn’t have to be a hassle. For around $162.50 per group (up to 4 people), you can book a private shuttle that promises a smooth, personalized transfer. This service, offered by Caribbean Airport Transfers, is designed to simplify your arrival with clear instructions, constant communication, and a comfortable ride—no waiting in long taxi lines or sharing rides with strangers.
What we love about this service is the attention to detail — from the prompt confirmation emails to the friendly meet-and-greet at the airport. Plus, the vehicle is air-conditioned, ensuring you stay cool after a long flight. We also appreciate that parking fees are included, making the price straightforward without hidden surprises. The direct route to Sandals Ochi means more time relaxing instead of navigating unfamiliar roads or unnecessary stops.
A potential consideration is the lack of onboard WiFi, which might matter if you want to catch up on emails or share pictures en route. Also, since this is a private transfer, it’s best suited for small groups or families who value privacy and personalized service over the cost-sharing of a larger shuttle.
This shuttle service is perfect for travelers who appreciate comfort, reliability, and clear communication. If you’re arriving at Sangster International and want a stress-free start to your Jamaican vacation, this private transfer will fit the bill.
