Down the Rabbit Hole

Did you know that Sandals Ochi Beach is home to the only speakeasy bar in the Caribbean? The Rabbit Hole is where you can find great theming, entertaining music, fun décor, and tasty drinks. But here is the trick… you need to find it first!

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Sandals Ochi Beach in May 2022. I took a girls’ trip there with my sister to celebrate her undergraduate graduation and we had the best time. One of our favorite nights of our visit was the evening when we decided to find The Rabbit Hole after dinner. Not only is this the only speakeasy in the Caribbean, but it is also a resort “secret.”

There are two steps to visiting the Rabbit Hole:

1) You need to find the hidden door.
2) You need the password!

In the daylight it is easier to see the door if you are looking for it. However, to someone passing by and not paying attention, they may not even notice it. In the dark, you will need to keep your eyes peeled. It is also important to note that every night the password changes. So just because you know it one night, doesn’t mean you can get in the next night!

Once you know where the Rabbit Hole entrance is and you are confident you know the password, head on over! There will be a bouncer at the door, and he will ask for the password before he lets you in. Don’t worry, the hunt is worth it! Once you are inside, you will walk into a bar that is a very cool combination of Alice in Wonderland theming mixed with magic and magician theming. Think White Rabbit meets rabbit being pulled out of a magician’s top hat.

There are two levels. The ground floor is like a lounge with a huge, beautiful bar. Most evenings this is also where the band, a singer, or any entertainment scheduled will perform. Upstairs is more like a loft overlooking the ground floor. There are additional seating areas and tables upstairs. You do not have to worry about going up and down for drinks as drink service is included. We loved sitting upstairs for the best people-watching views.

One of the best parts about Sandals Resorts is that ALL drinks are included. Yes, this means beer, wine, cocktails and top shelf liquor. So, all specialty drinks in this specialty bar are included in your vacation package. I won’t give too much more away! There is so much to see and do in this location - it is worth the visit.
