This was my fifth stay at Sandals. My journey began in 1993. I've visited Montego Bay, Royal Bahamian, La Toc in St. Lucia, Royal Bahamian again (bridesmaid in a destination wedding), and finally Ochi. I state this only as foundation for this review. During my five stays, I’ve been blessed to stay in a butler suite the last three visits. Here’s the thing. My prior two butler suite stays were great, don’t get me wrong, but this third one was once in a lifetime. We will forever remember, cherish, and pray for Peta-***e Davis and Robert Poyser. On a scale of 1-10 they were 100. Their genuine thoughtfulness from day one until day eight was unmatched. After my two previous butler stays, I did not write a review concerning them, much less tear up when saying goodbye. These two are so exceptional their names are imprinted on your heart. Before leaving Ochi we booked our next stay at South Coast since it’s a destination neither one of us has been, but boy it was tempting to book Ochi to be spoiled by Peta-***e and Robert all over again in 2026. One day we will return to be blessed by their sunshine and joy. If you plan to visit Ochi in Jamaica, be sure to request this dynamic duo as your once in a lifetime butlers’. THANK YOU AGAIN YOU TWO FROM THE DEPTHS OF OUR HEARTS AND I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN! I WILL CONTINUE PRAYING FOR YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILIES-Christi Now for the rest of the story. My favorite activity included with your stay is Hobie Cat sailing. When signing up for a boat they ask can you sail? Not proficiently was my answer so they offered to take us. This was great since my partner Dewayne had never been on a Hobie Cat and I knew he could quickly learn by watching someone work their magic. Once on the water, Dewayne started trying to get my attention to look at something he’d noticed. I followed his eyes to discover our captain’s name was also Dewayne. To you this might not seem noteworthy, but it is RARE to find another spelling of the name Dewayne the same. Immediately our captain noticed our smiling and wanted in on the joke. Dewayne explained they shared the same name but it was spelled the same, too. Sandals Dewayne chimed back, “Brother from another mother”! We chuckled and formed an immediate bond. He taught my Dewayne how to sail and our cruise over the ocean made the day. We felt the pressures of our lives melt away and we were officially in paradise! But, not only do the water sports crew have one super star, but two in Capitan Kirk. The second time we went for a sail Kirk was assigned to us. Kirk exudes personality and took us on an extended ride that was super adventurous thanks to the high waves! The smiles on our faces they were priceless. On our last afternoon after our excursion, we rushed to get back for one more sail and Kirk was there for our final ride. He asked Dewayne if he felt he could sail the boat and he said yes. Kirk sat back and let Dewayne captain this sail. It was the perfect ending. Now when we go to Sou
