Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Worst Jamacia experience!

I feel like this resort caters to Caucasian people in terms of food and hospitality. For me I’m expecting a true Jamaican experience and this was not it. The hotel is advised as a family friendly hotel and it’s the total opposite. We were a big family and had to make reservations to the restaurants at 9pm as that was all that was available. Imagine being in the sun with kids all day and then have to wait till 9 to get decent food, or less you’re going to the buffet and it’s yucky! Reception shou [... read more]ld tell you to leave tips for the bar on the dresser and tips for the cleaners under the pillow. The bar workers were stealing the hard earnings if the cleaners! The worst part of the trip was going to the bar and being treated like a dog by not so good looking older bar tenders who were miserable. I would never go to this hotel again.

Royalton Blue Waters: Mediocre Resort

The beach is beautiful. However, the food is not great and the resort needs renovations. It did not feel luxury or 4 star in any way. Additionally, we were diamond club members and other than the private spot at the beach we did not receive any other perks.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Bahia Principa Grand Jamaica My Husband and eight others just vacation there for two weeks Our first couple of days were so so But by the third day things started to change in the right direction The Hitel is sliding in Dec gir about a year but when the renovation are complete the Bahia will be even better!!

Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach: Hidden Gem

Close to the airport with a fast arrival, helpful staff clean rooms great food and drink made for one of our best vacations. Have already recommended to friends and will return in the future. The room was clean and had a wonderful balcony offering excellent views of the resort, beach and pool.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Good

Resort is shutting down in the new year for upgrade.great staff at bars and dinning areas not the nicest beaches ,pools are nice and large. Locals came in on weekends and created lineups and were rude by skipping lines.

Riu Palace Aquarelle: It was a nice resort

The resort itself lobby rooms and surrounding areas were very nice one of the nicer resorts we have been to in awhile. The buffet was a hit and miss sometime, but the Jamaica food was really good and was very happy to see it every night. The Al a Cart were not good at all with the exception of the Steakhouse which was just OK for me but the family seems to like it. The others were not worth the booking and we had to go to the buffet after dinner as things were just not eatable. Want to g [... read more]ive a especial shout out to Josh our waiter at the Steakhouse for taking great care of us and Melvin the lifeguard for always getting us our umbrella's as the palm trees on the resort did not give enough shade at all. I am recommending this hotel but we will not be back last time we will do a resort with kids Adult only from now on.

Sunset at the Palms: Perfect!

The resort is small and very unique. Food was great. Service was stellar. Beach short walk across the road. Lots of lounges and shade available. Staff sets up lounge, table and towel wherever you choose. Beach is long enough for a good walk each day. Drinks and food are served to you for lunch and after. Amazing sunsets! A few vendors on the beach, but nothing intrusive or offencive. Villa is a good size with basically everything you need. When it was hot the air conditioner could no [... read more]t keep up and the room was often warm while sleeping. Our room had no glass on the windows only screens and shutters so I'm sure most of the cool air was lost throughout the day. Definitely would return and recommend!

Ocean Coral Spring: Wonderful Family Vacation

We visited the Ocean Coral Spring Resort in October 2025 for a family vacation in celebration of 2 birthdays. In our group we had an infant, a five year old and five adults and we all had a wonderful time. The resort responded to any issues that we had and while we did have some hiccups, the immediate response to solving the issues was very much appreciated. The grounds are beautiful, very well maintained and the rooms are very nice. There is a small issue with the bar fridge being just a bi [... read more]t too large for the cabinet but it was a minor inconvenience. We availed ourselves of the Privilege class and I wholly recommend it. We felt very special and the Privilege Lounge was just excellent and the staff throughout were always friendly and very willing to help.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Wonderful Week

Hotel was good. But massive! Alot of walking. If you want beach access...you wont have here. The Beach is opposite side of luxury...and can take trolly to. Buffet food was cold. Lots of options but not warm. Staff amazing!..Room was great. Safe did not work. And heard from others we met had same issue. All pools were open. It was a great week away, but I can say I will not return to this resort.

Riu Palace Aquarelle: Perfect for Families

I found the hotel to be immaculate, with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff throughout. From the front desk to the gardeners, lifeguards, towel attendants, waitstaff, bartenders, housekeeping, and security personnel — everyone greeted us warmly and consistently checked in to see if we needed anything. The entertainment team was energetic and kept the atmosphere lively and engaging. One area for improvement would be better enforcement of designated spaces for children. A dedicated kids-o [... read more]nly pool or stricter supervision in shared areas would help maintain a more balanced experience for all guests. The buffet offered a wide variety of options, which is understandable given the volume and duration of service. However, the temperature of the food was inconsistent — getting a truly hot meal was hit or miss. The à la carte restaurants could benefit from more attention to quality and authenticity. While the Italian appetizer buffet was enjoyable, the main courses lacked flavour and finesse. The Asian restaurant was particularly disappointing, as the dishes didn’t reflect authentic flavours and fell short of expectations. The steakhouse stood out as the best dining experience — the steaks were excellent. That said, securing a reservation was unnecessarily difficult, despite many empty tables. Expanding the selection of side dishes would also elevate the overall meal. Unfortunately, I experienced the loss of a sentimental piece of jewelry from my room, which was deeply upsetting. Aside from that, I would say the resort is well-suited for families looking for a fun getaway. Personally, I’ll be seeking Adults Only accommodations in the future to better suit my travel preferences.

Riu Ocho Rios: Beautiful

The hotel was very clean food was amazing love the view from my hotel room the hotel night life was also amazing the only bad was the walk to my room from the front desk the ground was well taken care of one more bad thing was parking no parking on the weekend

Riu Reggae: Amazing resort

Everything was amazing the cleaning the food the service and the people were so friendly would definitely go back to this resort fridge was always full the service at all dining restaurants was amazing and all the service at the pool bars was great i would recommend this resort to my famiky and friends thank you i had agreat time

Couples Swept Away: Relaxing vacay

We had an amazing 10 days at csa and we will be back again soon .. everything was as expected and we got to see our Jamaican friends . the Couples Swept Away resort was relaxing, Clean, very quiet for this time year. They are renovating the Patois kitchen which they served the menu at the buffet restaurant instead which was amazing food.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Pleasant Experience

We stayed at this resort in September 2025 for our honeymoon and over all it was a very pleasant stay. The staff is super friendly and the resort grounds were amazingly well kept. The food and restaurants were very good as well we only wish they were open more. The beach and pool are very beautiful as well..though we’d suggest some netting over pool bar roof raptors as there was lots of pigeon droppings hanging down above the bar. We stayed on the adults only side and while the family resort is  [... read more]attached we would suggest more security on not letting kids onto that side as we noticed serval on the adults side due to bad/lazy parenting. Over all though a very pleasant experience

Azul Beach Resort Negril: Great Time!! loved the Stay!

Staff is fantastic and the views there of Seven Mile are breathtaking. Recommend the sunsets as well.. the Manger and staff we operated with helped us through many questions :-).. enjoyed our stay with Azul.

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Nice resort

I liked the hotel and everything was in close walking distance from the room. The food was good the staff was friendly. There wasnt any hot water in the room until about the 4th day there but it wasnt a big deal. The shows were great especially the steel drums.

Riu Negril: Must go back!

We highly recommend this Resort. Everything from start to finish was organized, clean and relaxing. The beach was gorgeous. Although, we recommend bringing watershoes. Sandra Taylor helped us find this gem of a Resort.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Very Nice Resort

The resort is very clean and well-maintained, which was great. However, the food was a bit repetitive, with little variety between days or even between lunch and dinner. We stayed for a week and only saw one show, so the entertainment could definitely be improved. Additionally, communication was a bit unclear at times. For example, one evening we didn’t have a reservation at any à la carte restaurants, only to find out that the buffet was closed that night. We managed to find another option, but [... read more] there were several instances where information wasn’t communicated well. One major disappointment was that we requested earlier to be close to another couple we travelled with and discovered that the request was not accommodated. The resort was not even half full. When we asked if we could be placed closer to the couple we were traveling with, we were told it wasn’t possible. However, we were then informed that if we gave a $50 tip, they would accommodate our request and provide us with rooms close to each other with an ocean view. This left a very bad impression, and I was quite disappointed by the experience. For this reason, I don't know if I would come back. :(

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Enjoyable resort

Very clean resort, with modern rooms and technology in wrist bracelet to unlock room doors. Many excellent restaurants, along with coffee, ice cream pastries shop. Also many different pools along with lazy river, water slides, and of course nice clean beach areas.

Ocean Coral Spring: Could be Better

My partner and I had a relaxing time but the resort does lack in a few different areas, which made it a little disappointing as it’s supposed to be quite new. Housekeeping was not the greatest, many areas in the room were very dusty and had stains or someone else’s hair wrapped up in it . The check-in policy is also ridiculous because there are other resorts that are flexible and can get people to their rooms before 3 PM .Our hotel room had a big leak in the middle of the night and we had to mov [... read more]e all our stuff in the early hours of the morning . Although we were relocated to another room, it would’ve been good to receive something else as a courtesy. There were many other things that were not great like the beach but there are some great people who work there. Good resort if you are on a budget and want to stay somewhere that has a luxurious look, but I personally would not return.
