Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Beautiful resort

The resort is lovely! It is spred out with beautiful landscaping, covered walkways and great pools. The food was good, the service was great and the rooms were big, clean and quite nice. This was my second time there, just as nice as ten years ago.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Great Resort

Beautiful well kept grounds. Lots of choice for dinner - good food Rooms are large and clean, only complaint about the room was originally had a room that faced the parking lot. I booked well in advance to get a room with a better view. I went to the front desk the next morning and was told they "might" be able to find me another room. It was not until I told our Air Transat rep the situation and he was able to get us another room that day, unfortunately this process takes time and I would have [... read more] rather been at the pool Staff friendly

Jewel Runaway Bay Resort: Great Family Friendly Resort

Beautiful Beach. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The resort does need some up dating but the rooms were clean. The water park was a huge hit with the kids. Not crowded - plenty of beach chairs. If you are looking for authentic Jamaican food, you'll need to go outside of the resort. Overall - if you are looking for small, accessible, affordable and family friendly resort, it's a great option.

Grand Pineapple Beach: Not bad

The pool should’ve been on the beachside ran out of liquor and beer and no entertainment at night The weather was good the walks down the beach were really good and we ventured over to Rick’s Café which was really good but is far is the resort we won’t stay there again

Riu Reggae: Great compact resort!

I would give this resort a 5* rating IF they had had in room coffee and the halls had been more sound proofed! The food overall was excellent with the specialty restaurants being the preferred night time dining option. Entertainment crew was enthusiastic and excellent. Good water aerobics. However we found the gym sparse. No leg equipment. Yes there were some free weights but minimal upper body machines. A 5* IMHO should have a better equipped gym. Even though we are technically seniors we love [... read more] to work out so a gym is important to us. We cruise a lot and have been to dozens of resorts so not having coffee in the room and a so so gym made this not quite a 5*. The beach is not very wide but it is clean. The water was sometimes murky. We did have privileges st RIU Montego Bay but not RIU Palace. We chose RIU Reggae for its Adults Only vibe. It was fine. There was nothing we considered risqué. If you want risqué go to a Hedonism resort!😜 Hubs was able to get Chivas Regal but no really top notch Scotch here. The vodkas and rums were also middle of the road. House white wine was not good but more expensive bottles were available for purchase. House red was passable for lunch. Beer was excellent. There were a lot of mixed drinks we saw being had by others. However neither of us were sweet drink fans so have no idea of their worth. Pools were hip deep. That’s it. Two pools and both had swim up bars. There was volleyball on the beach and in one pool daily. Lots of 20, 30 and 40 something couples at this resort. They were very active at the bars and in the pools. We are young seniors😜 but we were in the minority. We just mostly chilled. So all in all a good 12 days spent here.

Catalonia Montego Bay: Great resort

We had such a great time at this resort in Jamaica. The grounds were so clean and we didnt see a lot of staff working on it. There was a wide variety of food on the buffet, all very tasty. The servers were very friendly. The rooms were spacious and very clean. I would recommend this resort to anyone

Riu Ocho Rios: Riu Ocho Rios

We enjoyed our vacation at the Riu Ocho Rios...we had a room situation upon check in; the room was very clearly not cleaned properly (no glasses, open beers and sodas in fridge, sand in the bed, no freah towels) BUT the hotel staff provided excellent customer service which we appreciated. We had a new clean room the next afternoon. Personally i found the resort quite outdated but its not a big deal but something they could consider renovationg. Food was decent, drinks were yummy, excusrion was n [... read more]ice! Sunwing is awesome! But i probably wouldnt go to that resort again. Would prefer something newer.

Shaw Park: Relaxing vacation

The hotel was dated, but clean. Beach just outside the door, beautiful. Meals were excellent. ....."......"..".".."..... Rqecpnuiqwvnqdepiuncqdwnijcqdeqcdpeuibpijnqdcepincdeqqdcuneiqs Gidqedqeigvoenqdcengijincdqejnidpejbiqpjecqnjiecqnijds jnidecnqj

Sunscape Cove: Best time best staff

We absolutely loved our stay. Lots for the kids to do pools all over and the ocean behind you. The staff is top notch from Stephen to Vinroy to André to Javon. Planning our trip there for next year. If you can go and enjoy. Lots of food choices as well

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Wondeful Resort

This resort was in my mind 6 starred. Food was great at the buffets and ala cart restaurants, grounds were impeccable, beach was great as well as the pool area and lots of activities excursions and entertainment throughout the day. Very good customer service and very clean in the room and washrooms and throughout the resort. I loved this resort and certainly will return. i will try the luxury side of this resort next time.

Secrets St James: 13th trip was a charm

We can only get away for 3 nights due to responsibilities at home. We need a great resort close to the airport. Every minute in Jamaica counts and we do not have time for traveling further once we arrive on the island. We have be staying at Secrets since 2012. This was our 13th trip to Secrets Montego Bay. On our past trips we usually stayed at Wild Orchid Preferred. Unfortunately this building was totally booked by groups. First time staying at St. James Preferred. It was to our benefit. Al [... read more]l the rooms in our building had been recently painted and refurbished. The hotel staff were as wonderful as always. The grounds are being well maintained and improved. The only major disappointment was with our first dinner at Secret’s Bordeaux. We have found it in the past to be a special dining experience but in the last few years it has been touch and go. Considering this is a restaurant that requires formal attire both our dinners were an extreme disappointment. Usually this is the only restaurant we want to eat at every night for dinner. The saving grace was that being in a Secrets preferred building we had access the Breathless which is located beside Secrets. Breathless is about 2 years old and the environment and the food were a welcomed change and definite improvement from Secrets. The adventure started for us at Breathless at the restaurant on the first floor off the main lobby. It was Spoon for buffet breakfast (not as many menu options as World Cafe but the quality is superb! Dinners were at Culinaria (second nights dinner was continental and the last meal was Italian). Since we were staying at St James preferred the walk to Breathless was just outside our building by taking a bridge over the road. Our steps are numbered so we were in the best building closest to Breathless. Every meal we had at Breathless was purely an enjoyable dining experience. The staff at Breathless are second to none. We like staying at St. James Preferred because it was quieter and the ocean view is spectacular. Breathless was our choice destination for daytime at the pool and evenings at the rooftop bar to watch the cruise ships depart and enjoy the hills of Jamaica. The rooftop bar offered the best views when there was a sunset. I hope they continue offer this perk of being at 2 resorts in the same holiday. Can't wait for trip 14.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Very Nice Resort

Service was good, food good, rooms clean, staff was pleasant. I had read some negative reviews on Trip Advisor, and I must say, it was nothing like what I had read. We had plenty of hotwater, didn't bother with the A La Cartes as we enjoyed the buffet food, every night was something different. It is rather large resort with some stairs to deal with at times. But, really not that bad, not a place where you need to trolly everywhere. The Beach to the left was very nice, and you were never to far [... read more] away from a bar. Entertainment on the patio was great. Bus ride was about 1.5hrs with a short break about half way.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing resort

The resort is very clean, always being kept up; staff are all very kind and will go out of their way to serve along with a smile. Al a cart were all great food and the steak house restaurant was outstanding. Japanese restaurant also outstanding. Beach had sharp rocks that hurt my feet. You had to find a spot that did not have rocks. Did not like the sand on the beach - was not pleasant to walk on barefoot. Was more like pebbly, rather than soft silky sand. Too many pebbles hurt my feet w [... read more]hen walking barefoot.

Grand Pineapple Beach: Great little Resort

The beach at this resort was fantastic, food was great, rooms were clean and staff were friendly, although some could smile a little more. The one thing that could be improved is the pool location, you had to cross the road to the garden side rooms where the pool is located which did not have a bar. There is plenty of room on the beach side to install a pool and this would make the resort more pleasurable for us, as we are pool people. On the whole this resort was very nice, however I would p [... read more]robably not go back just because of the pool, but if you are beach people this is the place for you.

Excellence Oyster Bay: Work in progress

The layout of the resort is great. But for being less than 1 year its already in rough shape. Being a new resort the staff needs some training, they are slow and not enough staff on hand. For the most part food was very good. We had a private pool which got no sun. The water in our pool was very cold. We asked to be moved to another room, they moved us to building 2 the only one that got sun. If you are wanting a private pool request building 2 or do not bother.

Riu Montego Bay: Excellent Value for the Money

This resort is excellent value for your money. The resort is clean and well maintained. The pool area is large and plenty of lounge chairs are available. The beach is small but not over crowded. Our room had an amazing view overlooking the beach. The room itself was small but functional. The food was above average. The buffet had a large and varied selection for both breakfast and dinner. The al a carte restaurants also had excellent meals and service, except for the Steakhouse. The meal was ter [... read more]rible. All in all I would recommend this resort, very highly.

Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach: Awesome

Beautiful quaint little resort. Very personalized, great staff, nice rooms and good food! The beach was fantastic, very well manicured every morning and great for snorkeling. Shamala at the lobby bar was amazing and attentive to all.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: AMAZING RESORT

RETURNED HOME AFTER A WEEK. WE HAVE TRAVELLED QUITE A BIT AND HAD NEVER COME AWAY WITH SUCH A PLEASURABLE EXPERIENCE. EXTREMELY CLEAN AND UP TO DATE RESORT WITH ALL THE AMENITIES YOU WOULD EXPECT. THE GROUNDS ARE IMMACULATE. FOOD FAB!! DEFINITELY A 5 STAR. WOULD CERTAINLY RETURN AND RECOMMEND!!

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: #1 Jamaica vacation

The best place I’ve ever stayed. Second to none hospitality.Greatest food ever.Great entertainment nightly. Beaches were kept clean and daily barbecues ,they were fantastic. Poolside entertainment was awesome. Beach activities were fun on the beach. Room service was great. Sad to leave😟

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Solid 4 star resort

Stayed at this resort from Jan.9-16and had a great time. Flew with Sunwing and that was horrible but no reflection on the resort. Grounds were very nice with fixups ongoing. There was a few issues with bar/restaurant closures due to low season that I wish I had known about earlier. Only went to 1 ala carte which was excellent (Jambalaya). Funny though , the place was empty although many people were told it was fully booked. Heard this was pretty common. All staff were more than friendly and all  [... read more]you had to do was ask and they would make it happen. Special shout out to Monique at the beach. Such a wonderful lady!! Vendors at the beach were fun . All you have to say is no and they leave you alone if that is what you want. I like to get to know them myself. You get a better idea of true island life. Ask them to make up a rap for you, it's a blast. Oh and one last thing , the food is amazing!! You will enjoy.
