Azul Beach Resort Negril: Fantastic resort

Absolutely beautiful, amazing people and service, clean, and great food. Would definitely recommend, would suggest staying 10 days because you lose basically 2 days in travel time. Quite far from the airport

Riu Negril: Super resort and staff with so much to do!

The rooms were big and clean, food was AMAZING!!! with so much selection, grounds and pool immaculate, staff were all friendly and fun, shows were great...the only downfall was the sand flies (fleas) and ants (dont go in the grass). They were horrible and attacked us day and night. We talked to some locals who said it was the time of year. We really couldnt even enjoy the beach though because they were even worse there. Oh and our 3 different bug sprays didnt help. Home 3 days now and the bites  [... read more]are still itchy. We still had an amazing stay though and this was by far our favourite all inclusive to date because of the staff and all of the variety the resort offers.

Sunscape Splash: Amazing resort

Very clean well organized room always clean food was good very friendly and helpful the service from the staff makes the resort a nice place to be . Quite by 11pm to put kids to bed but you can party at some great places near by .lots to do at the resort for kids or adults But the tour excursion niver no time

Sunscape Cove: Fantastic Family Resort

Our family had a wonderful vacation. Our room was clean, well maintained, quiet, with excellent daily service. The restaurants were fantastic with a great choice of local and American food choices along with a children's menu. The grounds were large with an excellent ocean beach, good snorkeling, and several pools. The water park was fantastic where the children never tired of the lazy river and slides and various areas to explore. There was no need to leave the grounds but many attractions  [... read more]were available if someone wanted to do extra excursions. The staff was very friendly and helpful and many activities were provided throughout the day and evening. Definitely a resort where anyone would be happy to return.

Hedonism II: Very, very good... but there's a new concern

We've been coming to Hedonism 2 since 2012, and it has improved dramatically in nearly every way since then. The rooms are small but nicely renovated, and we always had lots of water pressure at whatever temperature we wanted. The air conditioning works perfectly and wasn't too loud. The food is excellent in the dining room and in all 3 restaurants - tasty, abundant variety, and attractively presented. The nude pool snack building has way more variety, too. The staff are friendly and attentive.  [... read more]The grounds are beautiful - not 5-star, but very, very nice. There's now Wi-fi everywhere, not just in the astroturf patio area. The talented entertainment staff are a joy, though the sound quality needs improvement as it's too echoey and too loud. Snorkelling and glass-bottom boat tours are part of the all-inclusive package at no extra cost and leave right from the pier at the beach. Hang around at night to view the the spotted rays and barracudas feeding in the shallow waters. That's not the wild life I expected to see at Hedo! Other highlights include the beach meal and concert, fire jugglers, grand buffet with lobster, and high-energy mood the entertainment staff drum up even when they're not on stage. The legendary Hedo atmosphere for the open minded and not too squeamish is just as lively as it's ever been. Everything was clean - even the nude hot tub! The playroom is a beautiful Roman-bath inspired oasis. There's a newer playroom near the nude pool. It's all the fun and indulgence you could ask for. Too bad we couldn't partake of it for the whole trip. I've never been sick in Jamaica before, but boy was I ever this time. A gastro-intestinal bug made us lose two days in physical distress, not to mention the emotional distress of knowing it's costing us over $600 bucks a day to feel that bad. We were not the only ones, as we met several other couples where one or both were also sick. I strongly recommend that anyone going to Hedo take an oral vaccine available in drug stores to prevent traveller's diarrhea at least two weeks before leaving. The greater concern though is that something about the food acquisition/handling or water supply has changed to cause this problem that we'd never encountered or heard of others encountering at Hedo before. Overall, I recommend this resort, but beware that a risk more often associated with D.R. or Mexico is definitely here.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Average resort

The room we were in was clean and your standard room. The pool and beach areas were nice. The bartenders at the swim up bar were fantastic. Friendly, remembered your drink orders and were entertaining. There is always something available somewhere on the resort for you to eat. No one would ever go home hungry. The buffet restaurant although the food was good it was basically the same menu each night. I would recommend reservations at 1 of 3 specialty restaurants. When making a reservation for [... read more] one of the restaurants you need to do this as soon as you get to the hotel or before if possible. We arrived at the hotel at around 6 pm, we made our reservations the following morning at 9:30. Two of the three restaurants only had availability left for one night of the six remaining nights we were there and the seating times were not until 8:30 at night. For some people this time might be fine, however, for myself I would prefer an earlier seating. The specialty restaurants were a steak house, a Japanese restaurant and a Cajun restaurant. The Japanese restaurant had the best seating times and you could pick from several days. By far the Japanese restaurant had the best food and entertainment. I would highly recommend making a reservation or two at this restaurant. When we were there the hotel was not anywhere near capacity so you could was find a lounge chair near the pool. However I don’t know if some of the entertainment during the day was lacking because there was not the clientele. The evening entertainment was your typical resort type show. Nice way to end your day after a day at the beach or pool. My recommendation however, for the evenings entertainment is that it start earlier. The shows did not start until 9:45 which seemed late, especially if you have children. All in all nice clean resort with super friendly staff.

Riu Negril: Great resort

The Riu hotel was great. The entertainment team is outstanding and envolve all guests. The food at the Buffett was great with a high variety and always changing. Rooms and grounds were well maintained.

Couples Swept Away: Superlative!

Superb resort from every point of view: accommodation, food, beach, facilities, programs. What is most unique is the all-inclusive sports, including tennis lessons, sailing lessons, scuba, and the like. This is the ideal resort for the active couple who doesn't just want to laze by the beach and drink alcoholic drinks...

Sandals Dunn's River: Amazing time

WE had a great time. This is not our first time to Jamaica. We would definitely recommend JDR if you wish a small all adult resort only. The staff at the hotel were very friendly from the time of arrival to departure. The hotel and grounds are very clean. We ate at all the restaurants (Aquamarina, Jade Samurai, Moonstone, Platinum, Coral Reef, and Court Jesters Pizza). The food was amazing, Gregory and his team from the Aquamarina Beer Bar & Grill served the BEST cheese burgers.

Riu Reggae: Loved the Reggae Resort!

First, I'd like to thank Laura M-S for arranging a great trip and making the whole thing a smooth time. The resort was excellent and the service was top-notch. The food had great variety and was professionally prepared and presented. Highly recommended!

Jewel Runaway Bay Resort: Faded charms

No hot water for 3 days. Minimal toiletries and coffee in room. Rooms need updating. This is a resort that relies on its beach and waterpark and hopes its guests will ignore all else at the resort. Massive staff layoffs 2 months ago. Lots of new inexperienced staff. Menu avoids Jamaican dishes for international ones.

SeaGarden Beach Resort: Awesome!!!!!

Our week at SeaGarden Beach Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica was awesome! The whole staff were amazing and felt like part of our family from the minute we arrived until our departure which came too soon. The front desk staff were overly accommodating, especially the lady (sorry, I didn’t get her name) who seemed to be there 24/7 with a smile on her face and always so helpful! Kendrick was our favourite bartender although all were very friendly and always eager to make your desired cocktai [... read more]l. I cannot say enough about the exceptional Activity Staff - Rose, Marlin and Pooh - they are superb!! The food is delicious, new dishes everyday with a variety to please everyone - the desserts and mac & cheese are soooo good! It was great to be able to experience many Jamaican recipes of varying spiciness. All of the waitresses/waiters were so efficient, especially Lisa who took care of us during many of our meals. Our ground floor garden view room, 311, was clean and spacious with a very comfortable king bed, lots of hot water, great air conditioning. Although the in-room safe wasn’t functional, we were able to use a safety deposit box at the front desk which was accessible 24/7. The private beach is beautiful, only a very short walk across the road which is healthy with all the food and drink you’re enjoying!! It is amazing to watch the planes landing, some awesome photo ops. The only minor fault we found is there are many small steps throughout the resort which you have to be careful not to trip on, just watch what you’re doing and don’t hurry - after all your on Jamaican time ;)

Sandals Dunn's River: Awesome Vacation!

We just got back from JDR and we had a fantastic time. We had a group of 14 and the resort size was perfect, we could always find each other. If you like to drink from a straw bring your own, if you like to float in the pool bring your own floaty. Wifi was not a big deal for us as we wanted to unplug for the week. Water pressure in our Saphire Oceanview room was fine. Food was great, make sure you get a cheeseburger from the grill........so good! Beach is a little short for taking strolls along  [... read more]the veahch but the sand and ocean were awesome. All staff were friendly and the Entertainment team was really interactive. Evening events were a ton of fun. We would definetly go back. Respect!

Sandals Ochi Beach Resort: Great couple time!

We stayed in the Butler Village and had a private pool. Although it was shared with 3 other rooms in the villa we had the pool to ourselves almost the entire time. Food OK. Of each the meals, portions were very good and then other items not good. It would appear that the cooking vegetables appeared to be quite a challenge. They were not very tasty (or cooked in some cases). Service in restaurants at dinner left little to be desired. For every one smiling person 4 others disengaged. Some areas of [... read more] resort a little dilapidated but there was a spot to chill for everyone depending on what pace of interaction or privacy you desired. Butlers were great! We had Reynaldo and Roger-niel. They were very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely stay.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Beautiful Resort

We really enjoyed our stay at this Resort. Beautiful Resort, grounds are Immaculate the beaches are beautiful and relaxing and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We tried the seafood restaurant thank you to Marlene the hostess your customer service skills go away above and beyond and to Shirley Ann who served us on our second last night the food here at lunch and at dinner was really good as well thank you to Steve the bartender, Italian restaurant exceptional we had a really great ser [... read more]vice from Steven the Japanese restaurant was excellent, the steakhouse was very good as well thank you to Chantle our server who made dining here wonderful as well to the chef who's in charge of both the Italian and the steakhouse. The buffets had lots and lots of choices and great food. Special thank you to Chantay for the wonderful service you provided us at the buffet as well as Eugenie for the amazing crepes. Special thank you to Rodney at the adult pool bar this gentleman goes above and beyond asking you specifically how you like your drinks which was a great surprise. To our wonderful maid Paula thank you so very much for looking after us and our room you didn't absolutely spectacular job. Also a special thank you goes to the front desk staff you were most helpful in helping us adjust to the first time at this Resort and provided great customer service. However, there's a few small things that I found a bit disconcerting there is not enough hand sanitizer stations in the resort and two in the buffet area the placemats are not washed down or very rarely did I see anybody wipe them down I personally find this kind of gross as people are laying their utensils excetera that they've used and spent food falls onto the placemats and they're just not cleaned well

SeaGarden Beach Resort: Perfect Vacation

The grounds were beautiful, the employees were fantastic and the food was very good. My family and I had a great time. The location to the airport made for a very quick transition and the welcome was fantastic

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: WONDERFUL RESORT

This adult all inclusive is a great place to stay with a variety of eating places and activities throughout the day IF you choose to attend or be part of. The Kiniro Japanese was our favorite restaurant, not only from the food selection but the entertainment provided at the cooking tables. We also went twice to Es Palau...their fish was amazing. The Galleon had great meat selection...Port Maria was our go to for breakfast and lunch....The Cornwall had an amazing selection also for breakfast [... read more] and dinner.....La Toscana was their Italian restaurant....they should change the name because IT WAS NOT ITALIAN...we were very disappointed with the food and cancelled our last night there, and chose the Cornwall. Our suite was amazing...and always looked after...the beach was beautiful and clean...the pools were nice...If you love golf you should play The Witch and Cinnamon Hill...the views are inspiring...the fairways could use more grass...putting areas were good. Nightly entertainment was very good.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Family Friendly Resort

The grounds and public areas are clean and well maintained. Rooms are great! There is a step down so be careful if you have really little ones but there is a light so you can see it at night. They do provide apt-sized cribs, good for babies but too small for kids over 1.5yrs old. My only frustration was constantly needing to request plastic cups for my 2 year olds. Everything is glass! They do have them but are slow about bringing them to you. Also, they do have high chairs but often slow to bri [... read more]ng them to your table.

Riu Negril: Not worth the cost!

The hotel is run down. We were not able to get into ANY of the a la carte restaurants all week. Line ups 1/2 hr before they open, and after that line goes in, they tell you the restaurant is full, and they have no idea when you might be able to get in. Buffets were good, but one closes after breakfast at 10:30 and the other doesnt open until Noon. At dinner time, one closes at 5 pm and the other doesnt open til 6:30 pm. There should be no time when there is not a restaurant open. The sports bar  [... read more]serves only wrapped food to be warmed yourself in a microwave. that is a joke, not a restaurant. Some other deficiencies with our room included: TV did not work all week. NO SIGNAL. We reported this twice, no repair. Very limited amenities in our room. Only a combination shampoo/bodywash and NO HAIR CONDITIONER.NO IN ROOM COFFEEMAKER. We enjoy having a morning coffee on our balcony before heading out for the day. We were in building #4, at the opposite end of the resort from all the restaurants. A very long walk every morning to get our coffee. BROKEN and LOOSE FLOOR TILES in our room.CRACK IN THE ROOM'S DOOR wide enough to let in light. NOT SECURE! This hotel is not a 5 star, not a 4 star either. We will not be returning to this resort, POOR VALUE. RESORT SHOULD BE SHUTDOWN FOR RENOS INSTEAD OF MILKING GUESTS UNTIL THEY GET AROUND TO IT.
