Poor Condition
This room needs proper cleaning and better bedding. The sheets and towels were old and worn out, and the bathroom was a disgrace. Inside the room smells like a hospital, the furniture was old, the drawers were a challenge to get opened and the AC was not working well, especially at night. We had no wifi for the entire stay and worst of all, it was like a scavenger hunt to find the room. I was very dissappinted. The property has a beautiful view of the ocean and its close enought to the town, nice staff, clean surroundings but they need to work on the interiors.

The location is good besides it’s hills of hills to walk up. The cleaning was ok inside needs some work but it’s worth what I paid for. I didn’t like the fact it had no iron but an ironing board, the power went out for 8hrs no one said nothing then the next day the wifi went out for 2 days. The shower needs to be tightened soon as u turn it on the knobs look like it’s about to fall off

The room was not prepared to accommodate visitors. The toilet had faeces in it, which indicated to me that the bathroom had not been cleaned. When we entered the room, it was overflowing with mosquitoes. The bedsheets felt dusty and there was a vase on a table that was breeding mosquito larvae. All indicating to me that this room, had not been cleaned and certainly had not been sanitized in preparation for guests.

Loved the area, in the heart of Ocho Rios. However, Sky Castles was not well maintained and the furniture was VERY dated. The kitchen and bath was also dated. The scenary was great and the staff was wonderful.

Sky Castles was ok
Skycastles was a fair choice for a 2-day staycation. The property is older and some of the elements definitely need an upgrade. The air conditioning remote in the first room we were checked-in to was not working, so we couldn't turn it on. The front desk quickly swapped us to a new room. The air conditioning in the second room only kind of cooled the room, and the water in the bathroom only got to lukewarm. However, the rooms were clean and the customer service was good.

Horrible, Horrible Staff/Management
Let me preface this by saying I did not stay in the hotel. Like many others I experienced issues trying to check in and eventually just gave up and left. I booked the hotel the day prior as my travel circumstances changed. When I showed up to the hotel they told me that they did not have my reservation on file. I showed the woman at the front desk who had an attitude problem from the beginning my expedia confirmation. She asked a gentleman to assist me. He apologized and told me my room would be ready in the next 30 minutes and asked me to wait. Now it was 4pm at the time so why I would have to wait when check in starts at 3pm is confusing to me, but i did as he asked and just waited. An hour passed and no one said anything to me. Didn't offer me water, didn't say it would be just a few minutes, nothing. I went back to the desk to speak with the girl with attitude problem and she says they can't find my reservation and I would need to email someone a copy. So I've sat here for an hour waiting on a room that wasn't even confirmed? What a waste of time! I must add that during this time the gentleman who assured me my room would be ready walks by with his things and leaves for the day. Also another woman arrives and she can't check in either and is told to wait. Guests who were actually staying at the hotel were coming in left and right complaining they had no towels and room service had not cleaned their room. I left. Can only imagine what the rooms are like!
