Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Grand Bahia

Loved this hotel. We just got home two days ago and we had a blast. The resort grounds were clean and beautiful. People on staff were friendly for The most part. Front desk staff could of been a bit more Friendlier. The hotel was very accommodating and we did NOT like our first room as we requested to be close to The kids water area. So they loved us closer. We are hoping to Book for October.

Jewel Paradise Cove: Perfect Getaway!!!

My husband and I just came back from our trip to Jewel Paradise Cove in runaway Bay. The hotel was simple but clean. The staff were incredibly hospitable and considerate. They really bent over backwards and helped us out alot!!! The views were amazing. There were so many things to do that were included. We highly recommend the snorkeling! Also there are lots of little areas to sit and take in the scenery in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The karaoke night was awesome. Also the beach party was  [... read more]so much fun. Can't rave enough about this place. We would definitely go back.

Riu Ocho Rios: Everything We were looking for! Fun, Beach, Food

I'll get straight to the point. If u describe this resort in 2 sentences I would say it was the perfect for for us becuase of the location, energy, and people. This is a fun RUI that has a gorgeous beach, great food (too much food!) and the travellers to this resort are looking for a positive vibe. Pros: Beach is gorgeous and one of the nicest compared to others in the same area. (no seaweed when I was there) Largeish resort but laid out so everything you want or need is close. Drinks ke [... read more]ep flowing, with decent liquor brands. Many bars within reach Staff is pleasant (a bit laid back becuase it's Jamaica! But happy to help.) Great location for excursions! (20 round trip to Dunn's River with a cab outside the resort.) Fun extras like paddle boarding and wind surfing, and a ton of games all day like corn hole and darts and fun relay races (entertainment staff work their butt off!) Great music all day Cons: Very dated rooms but clean. Pool could have cleaner water and be cleaner (was merky) A la carts weren't overly impressive (becuase the buffet had so much variety!) Luxury side with better rooms were nicer, but farther away from the fun so a con for us. But might be nice for people who want more quiet. Entrainment at night quiet amateur compared to Mexico or Cuba. (great mj show but he's not our "thing") Takes a full 2 hours for us to actually get their from the airport.

Royalton Hideaway Negril: Not to be repeated

Service was very bad. Reservations are not required in the restaurants but every night we were told that it would take an hour and a half to find a table even though you can see empty tables. But I’m sure that if a sizeable Tip was offered the data table would be available immediately. Man-made beach at the hideaway and if you wanted a better beach you had to upgrade to platinum. Anything you had to buy like Tylenol or Band-Aids were priced at unreasonable multiples of the average cost any oth [... read more]er places. Nowhere else in the area to buy any conveniences so you had no choice but to pay what they asked. The spa was unreasonably overpriced for example regular massage for 50 minutes was approximately $200 US. Male staff was very helpful and friendly but the female staff had a terrible attitude and we’re very rude. The music was very loud all over the resort and they would repeat the same annoying songs every day. He said it best I can say about this resort to that house cleaning staff were excellent security was excellent song so The music was very loud all over the resort and they would repeat the same annoying songs every day. it best I can say about this resort the house cleaning staff were excellent security was excellent. The sand was very soft and beautiful. Great Great beds mattresses clean sheets clean room soft pillows. Don’t like the open plan bathroom concept where you have no privacy to close the door. Not everyone is on her honeymoon.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Amazing!!!

Great resort....food was great, everyone there was phenomenal, and very friendly. Rooms were clean, grounds were clean. All in all we had an amazing time, so much to see and do. The kids had a great time.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing resort

Hotel and grounds was well kept. Food was amazing this was one of the best top five hotel i stay at Would stay here again and the staff was friendly helpfull. I have no complain what so ever My trip was great.

Grand Pineapple Beach: Loved the Resort

I loved the location of the resort – the beach side that is. I wasn’t aware that the “Garden Side” of the resort was across the street where the pool was. Obviously with the beautiful ocean in front of me, I had no desire to swim or hang around the pool. Needless to say, I never checked out that part of the resort. Security Guards at both sides of the resort are equipped with Stop signs to assist all guests across the street. I knew going into this resort that it was a three-star re [... read more]sort so my expectations were not high. My main reason for choosing the resort was the location. You have SEVEN miles of gorgeous beach to walk up and down and everything along the street to choose from. Mini grocery stores, restaurants, clubs and a duty-free plaza. Everyone on the street are very friendly and cabs are always going up and down. We had an issue with the room we were in initially because it backed onto the street – way too noisy to sleep. The next day the manager, Daniella Pons, was extremely helpful in finding us another room to our liking. Food was okay – alcohol was okay (except the 11am to 11pm timeframe), when entertainment groups were available – they were great, the staff was excellent – always attentive and remember our names. I highly recommend this resort for the seasoned traveler who is not that fussy and loves to mix and mingle with the people of the area. The resort just needs a little bit more refinement but with refinement comes an increase in price and I'd hate to see that. Looking forward to another return visit.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing Resort

Beautiful Hotel, loved everything about it. Staff is very friendly, grounds are very clean and well maintained, loved the food, restaurants are great, Loved the pool, good entertainment. Loved the beach. Beautiful rooms. Overall, awesome Resort.

Melia Braco Village: Melia Braco

This was our 5th visit to Braco, 4 times when it was Grand Lido Braco and first as a Melia .....we were assigned room 811 it was to say the least a major disappointment we had booked the premium Oceanfront and it was nothing like on the website. We got in late our first night so I thought I would deal with the room in the morning. We awoke around 4 in the morning as the air conditioner was not working at all, I called down and was told they would send someone around 7:30 in the morning.....need [... read more]less to say we did not sleep well the rest of the night. I went down approximately 7 am and asked to be placed in another room, after a bit of an exchange I was told to come back at noon as they would try to find me another room. Went back at noon and they were still working on it and was told to come back around 3. Went back at 3 and was told to go to my room and they would call me when the room next door was cleaned and while we were waiting, again the air conditioner stopped again. Finally we were moved next door to 812 and unpacked. So we spent our first day on vacation running around I was not impressed. The food was ok the Asian restaurant was the best. The restaurants were not always open, they would close 2 and have 3 opened this was disappointing. Most of the staff were very efficient and cheerful I have always enjoyed Jamaica and this was our 8th visit to the island and will be back but not to Melia Braco unfortunately.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Beautiful resort.

We went here for a wedding and love this resort. This is a large resort but very easy to navigate. The grounds, buildings, etc. are beautiful and very well maintained. The gazebo used for the actual service overlooked the ocean and was breathtaking. The rooms are large with a separate bathroom that my husband and I could use at the same time to get ready. Coffee pot did not work but was replaced immediately when reported. Room cleaned daily. Food was excellent with a great variety at [... read more] the buffet restaurants. Loved the Mexican restaurant. Did find service a little slow. At the Italian restaurant left after waiting over an hour and half for our food. Other wedding party members went another night and service was good. Was not happy with the check in as we waited well beyond the 3:00 pm time frame. Did not end up in the same building as the rest of the wedding party but given the option if we wanted to wait longer. Finally given a room around 5:30 and we were happy with the location. Stayed in building 27, room 2704. Loved having access to 3 different beaches. Did not have enough chairs at one time but staff provided the additional chairs needed. The pool area was beautiful with lots of chairs. I only went to one show however my husband went to several and enjoyed all. They did have an elevator at the main lobby which gave you access to the lower level and ramps to access the beach area. It was a hit and miss with staff but overall friendly. Hats off to Daniel Rickette and Kemar Lakeman for aerobics and games and Sashane Williams who was always a delight at the infinity bar ad the nightly show. On our list of resorts to return to but earlier in the season as April was quite humid.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing Resort

I loved this resort. I honestly couldn't say enough good things. The food was excellent, the service was okay but they do base service based on tips which I hate and will not participate in. The resort, in general, is so beautiful, amazing pools, the beach is fantastic. They do however, need to supply blankets and fitted sheets as these were nowhere to be seen during my stay

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Fabulous vacation!

Had a wonderful holiday. Food was amazing, staff very friendly, rooms very nice and entertainment was awesome. Would definitely recommend this resort and would love to come back. Thanks for such an awesome time!

Dreams Rose Hall: Hilton Rose Hall

We loved the resort. It was just the right size. You could always find a beach chair without having to get up at 7am to claim one. I can't say enough good about the staff. They were always friendly and polite. Every area inside or out was so clean. We would go there again

Royalton Negril Resort And Spa: Memorable vacation!

Loved the resort, staff is super friendly and service was perfect. The food was ok nothing great. But that's to be expected at any resort. Beautiful looking resort, very clean and well kept. Entertainment team always kept things fun and made sure everyone was having a great time. My kids loved the splash pad and big pool. Only down side was that I had no idea this resort backed on to a busy street. We usually sleep with the patio door open and like to wake up to the sound of the sea or even just [... read more] peacefulness. But the street noise made that impossible. Overall it was a great vacation and would recommend this resort.

Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall: Couldn’t fault it

Fantastic grounds, room, food, service, pool, entertainment, beach... Couldn’t find a flaw anywhere! Great resort - we’d like to visit again. The jerk chicken barbecue was by far our favourite place to go daily.

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Great resort, friendly staff, great location

First impression was "where have we just booked" when we pulled up, but once inside and on the resort what a beautiful place, great friendly staff, so many things to do. The property is long across the shoreline which was different than we were used to but amazing set up that way one end had the night entertainment the other had a lot of the day entertainment so if you are into one more than the other its easy to pick what side of the hotel you should stay on. Food was really good, we ate at th [... read more]e buffet every day and the food was really great, they also had snack bar which had foods like pizza, burgers, grilled cheese etc. Security was always around the resort and we felt vary safe leaving, there was a lot of local shops out front and down the road to bars. There is a bus from the resort that will also take you to some local bars. Hotel room had everything we needed, room was cleaned daily, if you slept in and let them know you weren't ready to be cleaned they would come back later in the day which was nice. I think throughout the week they came in and did some bug spraying because our suitcases smelt odd even after we came home, but hey...we didnt see any bugs. The ocean views are amazing, we could see sting rays and other fish from our balcony and jumping off the docks and swimming in the crystal clear water was amazing. It was approx 10-15ft off the dock and bouncing on the trampoline was fun also. Never without a place to lay in the sun, chairs were available all the time not like some resorts where people fill them up with their towels nightly entertainment was awesome, extraordinary house band and tons of activities! All around I would definitely recommend this resort we hard a really great experience

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Amazing resort

We had an amazing time, we stayed over on the luxury side and it was definitely worth the upgrade. However ask to not be placed in building 26 on the back side you’ll receive a terrible view and hear nothing but cars going on the highway and the back yard dogs barking all night. Food was absolutely amazing and we loved everything and had no complaints, the jerk chicken and corn on the cob at lunch was our favourite. Was a little surprised that on the adults only side things closed down pretty  [... read more]early but it was not a far walk to the other side to enjoy the disco and night life. The staff are wonderful and very accommodating, Butler service on the beach had to have been one of our favourites. All in all we would absolutely be back again but under strict no building 26 lol. Also if your booking any excursions chukka was amazing. We did two tours with them over the week and had a blast, would highly recommend.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Wrongful time

Hotel was great and booking the trip was a breeze. Service was good and very friendly. Very large resort so lots of walking but good scenery. Lots of activities to keep busy. Pool chairs were a bit of an issue. However excellent trip all around.

Sunset at the Palms: Best place ever!

We loved the amazing grounds,and tree top rooms in a tropical setting. The service was the best we have ever experienced in an all of our travels and we travel a lot! The food although there weren’t a lot of choices was amazing and was always fresh. The beach and sunsets were beyond belief. We are definitely going to return there.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Would not return

We had the most wonderful time with family and friends at my daughters wedding. We chose the Italian restaurant for dinner, drinks and dancing and can’t say enough about the wonderful food and staff. They went above and beyond. Of course we paid $$$$$ for dinner and drinks at an all inclusive, lol. That being said the rooms could use a good cleaning. They only seem to do surface cleaning which does not include glass on tables. Carpet in the hallway is filthy with stains and elevators sm [... read more]ell of sewage. Staff at pool bar are rude and talk a good talk for tips only. Towels go missing on a regular basis and if you ask for assistance expect to be sent in 3 directions for help. Any request for help is met with a disgusting look and they have no intention of helping. We stopped asking after a few days. Luckily our group made the trip the best time. Shame on Air Transat for supporting this hotel.
