Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Beautiful Resort and fabulous staff

Our family of 4 adults and 2 children had a wonderful 7 days here just after New Year's. Our rooms were almost adjacent as requested. There were absolutely no issues upon arrival. Staff were very friendly and accomodating all week. We had emailed the resort for al la carte reservations before leaving Canada and they were made for us. The choices were amazing. We ate at Don Pablo, The Japanese, and Garden Grill. No complaints from any of us. Our meals at the buffets were very good. There wa [... read more]s always something interesting to try. You have to remember where you are and what they can offer. There was never any person looking for tips. In fact, they went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. I was deciding on a nightcap one evening, and the main lobby verandah bartender made me a Jamaican Grand Marnier. Perfect job. The resort is very large. We did a lot of walking from our room in the 2300 block. It was beautiful. There are several cats by our area and they hung around the gardens. Staff are always working to keep it lovely and clean. Lots of security and they are very friendly if you are. I felt very safe there. The only problem I saw was when people would argue with staff who monitored the exclusive members pool area. People would argue that they spent thousands of $ to come here and they should be allowed to go there. Duh! We did a day trip to Ocho Rios for some shopping and then Dunns River falls. We wanted just a little time shopping and approached our WestJet rep. No problem. She made arrangements for us and we were given exactly what we asked for. Lady Dee , who was our guide on the bus gave us lots of info on the area, made arrangements for the security of our parcels, got towels for us when we forgot ours, and we had a lovely day.

Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach: Small Fish, Big catch

Ideally located 10 min from airport. Small compact design with everything you need to enjoy a week of relaxation. Excellent food with strong Jamaican influences. Large room, excellent balcony with amazingly close views of ocean. Very good coffees and also snorkelling 20 feet off the beautiful beach.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Great overall resort!

This place was recommended to us as a nice medium sized resort for a large family of 10 adults and 8 kids ranging from 2-15 years old. I think everyone was generally happy. A couple of hiccups in the beginning with front desk not seeing our reservation of 18 in the system, but they figured it out and made it work. The staff made a point to remember our names and get you involved in activities and were very friendly. Food at the buffet and the restaurants were good, the rooms were decent and clea [... read more]n, the pool and lazy river were nice as well. The beach was not as nice as Negril but it was close. The entertainment was pretty good as well,..hit and miss depending on the night. Some resorts have major pros and cons, just as great beach but poor food, or great waterpark, but terrible beach. I think this place is not too flashy but it's good in pretty much all aspects.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: A great Trip

The trip was wonderful, and so was the resort. It was clean, people were very friendly, and engaging. The only issue was during check-in, when the hotel said they did not have our reservation, but the kind people at the front desk said it was "no problem" and to go have some lunch, and they will sort it all out, which they did.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Incredible time

I booked this resort because it was my first time travelling alone and wanted something large and safe. The resort and stay were amazing. My room was gorgeous.....I felt like a princess. It was spacious with a fantastic ensuite and balcony. Housekeeping was diligent, my room was tidied each morning. The grounds were beautiful; very well maintained, The food options were fantastic! Loved the grill on the beach, the buffet restaurant, and the Steakhouse boasts exquisite ambiance, presentati [... read more]on, service and food....one of the best meals I have ever had. All staff were professional, helpful, friendly, positive and hard-working. They interacted well with all the guests. Suggestions for the hotel: 1. a better arrival system (a quiet room, stronger organization-room was loud, process was annoying after hours of travel) 2. WIFI in all rooms-WIFI was sketchy and only worked in the main lobby 3. have some "light snacks" available with the coffee and tea on the patio 4. do not serve/allow food around the pool--some guests made a mess and that was kind of gross to be around when swimming and lounging Overall, an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend the resort and take a return trip!

Legends Beach Resort: Legends Negril

Not to expect much from this hotel but the beds are hard rock! Six dollars for a Heineken is outrageous, noises being close to downtown Negril and the buffet is very basic to bad this hotel has so much potential but just falls short in every way except the people are Jamaican and naturally friendly. They can’t even call westjet to let them know we had a private airport transfer but they can call the restaurant in town. Very strange.

Riu Ocho Rios: Very good resort

Overall great experience. Food and entertainment very good. I stuck to the buffet as the a la cartes were nothing special. Buffets had good variety and a late night option open til 2am. Rooms need updating badly. Mattresses were not the most comfortable. Drink selections were good and staff was great. Very friendly and attentive. More of a family resort than couples which made for a more lively experience. Pool was nice and close to the rooms. Ocean was great with lots of options f [... read more]or shade or sun. I would definitley go back. It’s not a 5 star as advertised but I would give it a 4 star rating.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Great Property, trouble with rooms and front desk staff

Was told I could not publish experience>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Riu Reggae: Great location and friendly staff.

We stayed a week at this Riu which is consistent with their quality and cleanliness. Staff were very friendly with energetic entertainment staff which appeared to have very long days but kept going like an energy bunny. String Bean was certainly a stand out and I honestly don't know how that guy kept going and going and going..... Food was very well done and attention to detail when dealing with some of the restaurants was extremely good. There was always room at the pool and bar service at the [... read more] pool and on site was very good. No matter if you want to just sit around or get active, there was something to do at the resort, albeit a little smaller than some that I've been to. We did have access to the other Riu but didn't spend much time there as we enjoyed our location a little more, maybe because there weren't kids running around... lol Jamaica is a good destination and would certainly return to the island. Over all, above average vacation...

Dreams Rose Hall: Amazing Resort!!

Our family of six just returned from a wonderful week at the Hilton Rose Hall Resort. We were very impressed with the kindness and attentiveness of staff, cleanliness of the rooms and public areas and quality of the dining options. We thoroughly enjoyed the large beach, pools and water park as well. With so many activities offered, our kids (aged 15,18,21 and 22) were always busy and entertained. We all really look forward to returning to Jamaica and this resort again!!!

Dreams Rose Hall: Amazing resort

Great resort well maintained very clean but lack of entertainment around the pool not alot of entertainers to keep you busy all day and night but very nice people and excellent service by all employees and food was ok

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: This is a grand resort!

This resort does not disappoint, the rooms are wonderful with the wicker swing and couch on every balcony. The grounds are beautiful and the pools are gorgeous ( a little cold but nice). The food is exceptional and the New Year’s Eve Buffett was spectacular. Very decacadent with ice sculptures and the most amazing display of food I’ve ever seen. Everyone was raving about the party on the beach on New Years with fireworks and a grand spectacle. The resort was full so you had to get up early  [... read more](before 7:30) to reserve a chair by the pool or beach which was ok if you’re an early bird. You can eat breakfast and lunch in the restaurant on the beach which had a lovely buffet and a killer view of the ocean! The restaurants are all outstanding and all the guests raved about the food all week. It’s certainly good for older people as they close the pool bar at 6 pm and the resort becomes quiet and serene and alive with tree frogs!!! We found the people super nice and the service very good. Please tip these hard working people as they really go out of their way to make your stay Fantastic!! The golfing was spectacular with breathtaking views and the caddy very helpful and knowledgeable.The men and women at the front desk were always helpful, our butlers were helpful and friendly and room service was excellent. The ladies who serve both at the pool and the beach were incredibly attentive walking back and forth in the sand with large trays of drinks for us to enjoy. The bartenders are also great and full of humour! We will be going back most definitely.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Fantastic Time

The resort was fantastic. The hotel room was clean, and spacious for a family of 4. The common washrooms by the pool And beach were very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was good with lots of options.

Royalton Negril Resort And Spa: nice resort but service needs to be improved

fairly new resort with great facilities nice pool but mediocre beach service is not comparable to Mexico and Dominican Republic, probably due to local culture, so don't set your exception too high rented Cabana but was very disappointed by the service as the cooler did not arrive until afternoon and they took it away earlier than supposed to. food at the buffet is good but do not expect much from the restaurants, food truck and jerk bbq station by the pool are decent.

Fun Holiday Beach Resort: Worst resort

Horrible service bartender gary is rude and does not have customer service skills at all if i was the management he be right out of there management is very accommodating if you have a concern but takes 3 days to address any issues but follows through. Best part of that resort is Jeff the bartender goes out of his way to make sure u are good with what he has on hand. Watch when you drink the vodka we caught them serving us water and we addressed it they said they run out food is gross no selecti [... read more]on at all and if you try to order from the kitchen you would starve before you would get served watch the sugar it is full of ants would not recommend this place even if it is cheap to go there i would not pay more than 300 for that place beware is all i can say

Sandals Negril: A little disapointing

I'll start on a positive for this place. The wait staff at this resort were amazing and extremely friendly, we couldn't ask for better. Now the rest. We were very shocked to find that we didn't have a balcony with our room, when we talked management about this were told this is what you paid for so get over it. A couple that we were traveling with that also booked through you got the same type of room and same response from management. We have been to 5 Sandals resorts over the ye [... read more]ars and have never been treated like this before, when we asked to talk to speak to a superior we were told that they would come and talk to us. This never happened, right up to the last day when we were getting on our bus ride home we were told the same and of course never happened. So we were disappointed with our room and because of the lack of concern by management it put a damper on what should have been a great holiday. We will also air our concerns with top Sandals management, but doubt we will get a response. We will never go to a Sandals again especially since we paid a great deal of money for this.

Mangos Boutique Beach Resort: Mangos Resort

The resort was nice. We were in block 10 ocean view. Hearing the waves at night was nice. Food was okay. But always cold. Thr grill was great. Rooms were good and clean. Pool was fun with the water slide. Staff was great. Christine and O'Neil were awesome.

Dreams Rose Hall: Nice Resort

Good service. Good food especially on Jamaica night. The buffet was a little repetitive and didn't have a large variety of items for children. Entertainment was average. I think it is best to go when the price is cheap. The beach was rocky and had seaweed. Lazy river was great. Pool and lazy river were well supervised. Kid friendly resort. Safe for kids to roam by themselves which is a plus. Overall, we had a great time there and enjoyed ourselves.

Royalton Blue Waters: ROYALTON BLUE WATERS - JAMAICA

We were at this resort over Christmas and had a fantastic holiday. We are return clients and have never been disappointed. We were assigned the Diamond club and had two outstanding butlers: Tannisha and Laceyann There were no issues with hot water or air conditioning. The pools were clean. We had a cabana for a day which was well maintained and well serviced. Restaurants were all open and the food was very good with a wide variety at the buffet. We would highly recommend this resort.

Royalton Blue Waters: Great Family Resort

This is a great resort recommended for families. Beautiful rooms and beach and many a la carte restaurants without requiring reservations. Mostly families with tons of kid activities and that is why I would not recommend for couples.
