My husband and I have been annual vacationers at the Sandals Ocho Rios Resort for about
the last ten (10) years. This year, however, we had friends that wanted to vacation with us in
Jamaica so we decided to try renting a house. However, our expectations never could have matched what awaited us at Sleepy Shallows! Not only was
the property gorgeous and relaxing but the Staff was A-mazing!!!
Chef Anthony, who told us he learned to cook from his Grandmother, provided utterly
delectable meals and desserts. My husband has eaten oxtails in the past but said he has
never had them as tender and delicious as Anthony’s. As an added bonus, Anthony used the
leftover oxtails for pizza the next night, which ruined regular pizza for my husband! Jason
was impeccable, professional and so knowledgeable! He provided ginger and cayenne
pepper shots to help battle sniffles from the airplane, and anticipated all of our wants throughout
the day. Kevin was quiet and efficient in keeping up with the grounds (I swear
he would get up at night to tidy up the immediate areas before we woke in the morning). He
even provided coconuts from the trees as a surprising treat. Kemesha and Tessan were
meticulous, efficient and thorough, leaving us to wonder when they had even been in our
rooms. They are all now our family!!
We are hoping to vacation again in May of 2025 at Sleepy Shallows

We had THE most incredible vacation, and we owe it all to your incredible staff — who provided world-class service to us. We still talk about the incredible time experienced at Sleepy Shallows; the professional service, the accommodations/amenities, and the absolutely scrumptious meals!

We fully intend to come back.

Couldn’t have had a better time. The downstairs bedroom was so helpful for my mother and our 7-month-old grandson to have a daytime sleep-in, while we all enjoyed the beach and the pool. Chef Anthony is truly a master chef. Every dish was incredible. Jason, the butler was so attentive to our needs and made the whole trip so comfortable and seamless. Everyone was so warm and kind to our children. They loved spending time walking the property and catching crabs. We thoroughly enjoyed our days relaxing by the pool and the beach and spending our evening as a family in the games room. It felt like our home away from home!!! See you next year.

The home is incredible in every way…clean, safe, comfortable beds, incredible views, beach, great location…but it’s the staff that are the heart of this home. If you want a truly relaxing, stress free vacation, look no further. We didn’t want to leave and I pray someday we return. The memories we made here and the staff that helped make them will stay in our hearts forever! You won’t regret this stay. What we loved: everything. The beach is literally steps away, soft sand and the water is perfect, it’s a calm bay with beautiful sunsets. The pool was also great and there were so many places to relax in the shade with the light breeze to cool you after a day in the sun- we napped in the pavilion daily. So peaceful! Anthony is an amazing chef, and all meals were incredible - and Andrew’s desserts will almost make you cry they’re so good. Kadine kept the home perfectly clean, always with a smile, our beds turned down and the ac on each night for our comfort. Kevin was always there to offer help with paddle boards or Kayaks and kept the grounds looking beautiful. And finally Andrew, just the most incredible human, that met our every need whether organizing a deep sea fishing trip or making sure we had our favorite drinks served poolside. Andrew has a giving spirit that made our stay unforgettable!
