Riu Ocho Rios: Great resort!

The gardens were beautiful, however; the beach is beautiful, the rooms were clean and staff were great. The entertainment was lacking in the daytime on the beach & would be a nice change to switch up some of the shows in the evening's. Same shows the last 3 years at different Riu locations we stayed in Jamaica. We love Riu chains, people are great. I would probably enjoy an adults only next time, lots of infants this round and crying through the night keeping me awake. Overall great resort

Riu Reggae: Great Experience

Grounds are well kept, bathrooms are clean, staff are very friendly and always trying to get guests involved in the daily activities and nightly entertainment. There’s an abundance of food and fresh fruits, especially those from the island. It was nice to see that Jamaican dishes were available at every meal - sometimes the vegetables were a bit too salty but other options were available at other stations. The water was great, as expected, but the sand close to shore was a bit slippery and un [... read more]even. The lobby is not very open so we spent more time at the Mobay lobby as it was much more breezy - it’s larger and more comfortable. Loved the option to use the amenities at Mobay.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Sunshine

Wonderful! Great Vibes! Excellent tribute to Michael Jackson Show will blow you away. Lovely Hotel, comfy beds, delicious Food, lively music, great beach with mini coral Reefs for Snorkelling. Heavenly sunsets, very relaxing and something for everyone.

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: Perfect getaway!

Hotel and staff are organized, this resort offers many conveniences. Everyone is super nice and down to earth. The view, the beach and grounds are paradise. Good vibes, good food, good service, good people and good view. Thank you for making our vacation one of the best we’ve ever had.

Ocean Eden Bay: Clean, well maintained and Comfortable Resort

My husband and I vacationed here for a week. Very clean and well maintained hotel. Rooms were great, loved the hanging egg chair. Bed was comfy and the shower was great. Loved our balcony. Pool was lovely with lots of lounge chairs. Beach was awful, basically no where to swim. BRING WATERSHOES. The restaurants were delicious on the Eden side. Lots of variety but it's a VERY Americanized resort so if you're looking for Jamaican culture, not the place. Staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. [... read more] Be aware that if they try to tell you about the Privilege Membership, it's a total sales pitch for 2 hours and they are very good at playing the games with you. Missed our orientation because we thought the sales pitch was our orientation. Turned us off.

Princess Senses the Mangrove: Mediocre

Huge resort. Understaffed in places. Most staff seemed unhappy. Lots of places to hang out, never a shortage of a chair/lounger. Buffets huge, a la Carte’s small. Room was without power one day, and water leaked from ceiling another day. Service and resort aren’t worthy of 5 star rating.

Riu Ocho Rios: Awesome Stay!

This is our second time staying here and we will be back. The beaches are so well kept, the water is fantastic and there are great areas to snorkel. I would recommend that you bring your own mask & snorkel, they are included in the cost of the stay, but only 1 hour, which honestly isn't long enough. The food was great, we ate at all the different places, but the buffet was always good, no shortage of choices. The rooms are good and the beds are comfortable. The staff, every single one was fr [... read more]iendly & welcoming, they are the true stars here.

Riu Ocho Rios: Riu Ocho Rios - April 2025

Hotel, room, food, beach were perfect. Our room was situated on the kiddies side, which we did not appreciate. We did not use the pool because it was full of children. If your a couple and would like a romantic stay, be sure to ask for the adults only side.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Our wedding/ Vacation

We visited this hotel for the first time last year. We were so impressed that we booked our wedding then for this April 2025. There were some issues but the pros out number by far. The only issues We had was that we could not login to wifi when we arrived and AC in our room was not working as well as it should. We arrived at 9pm and we were able to connect to the wifi by the next morning. The only reason this was a concerns for us was because we could not communicate with our wedding guests t [... read more]hat were already there. Other then that, Everything was amazing. The staff are always amazing, always friendly and bubbly. If there was any issues, they tried to resolve it right away. The buffets always had variety and was always fresh. They have an AMAZING drink menu, and the bartenders will make you pretty much anything you ask for. The entertainment staff always have something going on, and they are so easy to talk and joke with. They definitely contributed to some life long memories. I highly recommend the foam parties! The resort could use some renovations but they are closing for 2026 to do so. The resort is massive with multiple different things to do and see :shops, restaurants, dive shop, water activities. I am not one for visiting the same resort twice, but I will continue to come back here. Our wedding day was amazing. I was so stressed months leading up to the day, and i did not worry have to worry about anything that day. I accidently wrote the wrong reception area and they were able to correct it for me that day. They set everything up for us. I did not have to worry about anything that day, I would not change anything about it. I cannot give enough appraise for the staff here. They work so hard and always have a smile on their face. I highly recommend this place for a vacation or destination wedding.

Legends Beach Resort: Very Cozy! Home away from Home!

We felt at home at Legends. Everything was very clean and the food was amazing. The only couple of areas of improvement would be to add more umbrellas available on the beach, and maybe new shower heads to regulate temperature and increase pressure.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Not for Ocean/Sea swimmers or Beach Lovers!

I would rate the resort as average. Service was good and the food was fine, nothing special. I enjoy swimming in the ocean/sea. Unfortunately the water inside the breakwater was too shallow to swim so I was forced to swim outside the breakwater west of the hotel. This was OK (not ideal) when not windy but not possible when windy. The beach was very small and not really enjoyable for wading in the water or sunbathing. We tried to make reservations for the a la carte restaurants immediately u [... read more]pon arrival but the only times available were 9 and 9:30 p.m. This forced us to eat at the buffet all the time. VERY Disappointing! Recommend that guests be allowed only 2 or 3 a la carte reservations per week to allow other guests to the opportunity to experience the a la cartes. The resort is a long distance from the airport. Took 2.5 hours to travel from the resort back to the airport due to many stops along the way.

Couples Negril: Our Favourite

Second time around for this resort and loved it. The staff - shout out to Nelie, Elke England and to all the wonderful staff who go out of their way to ensure you have everything you need. Loved the addition of coffee and banana bread delivered each morning to our room for breakfast. Our favourite thing is never having to search for a spot on the beach, shade or sun. Simply the best. Food is excellent. We have already booked our return visit.

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Royal Decameron carribean

Loved the cottages,feel like your in a village. Everything super close to each other.no long walk to bar,pool or beach..Loved the friendly staff.Beach was lovely and were in process of upgrading umbrellas. This wS my 6th stay, like famy

Secrets St James: Disappointing Experience

This is our 3rd time in Jamaica but our first time at Secrets St. James Montego Bay, which contrasted sharply with the warm hospitality we’ve consistently enjoyed at other Jamaican resorts. Unfortunately, our group of eight felt unwelcome and encountered several issues that marred our vacation. Upon arrival, the initial information session quickly turned into a high-pressure sales pitch for expensive add-ons, such as $300+ romantic ocean-view dinners and costly massage packages. Despite my b [... read more]rother-in-law’s advice to avoid signing up immediately, we felt the pressure and enrolled in some offerings, only to face a cumbersome cancellation process later. This aggressive upselling set a negative tone from the start. One significant issue involved a catamaran excursion scheduled for Wednesday. With forecasts predicting heavy rain, thunder, and lightning, we attempted to cancel at the front desk. We were informed of a 24-hour cancellation policy we hadn’t been told about and warned that we’d be charged if we didn’t attend. On the day of the excursion, the catamaran was significantly delayed, and after repeated requests to cancel due to unsafe weather, the staff finally confirmed the trip’s cancellation. However, we were required to visit the desk again to sign paperwork, making the process unnecessarily protracted. Interactions with staff further soured our experience. When my brother-in-law and I inquired about accessing the Preferred Rooftop Bar at the Breathless Resort —based on another guest’s claim that it was possible—the front desk attendant responded rudely, asking, “Who told ya that?” More troubling, the attendant insulted sharply by calling him “the troublemaking Canadian,” possibly in retaliation for the catamaran cancellation. This unprofessional behavior was deeply offensive and unacceptable. The dining options also fell short of expectations. The Mexican restaurant was notably unpopular among guests, and the buffet, while adequate, was unavailable for dinner. The remaining choices—Italian, French, and Hibachi—were limited, and an unpleasant experience after dining at the Hibachi deterred us from returning. By the third day, our group felt distinctly unwelcome, a stark contrast to the inviting atmosphere we’ve cherished at other Jamaican resorts. The combination of high-pressure sales, poor communication, rude treatment, and subpar dining left us disappointed. Regrettably, our group, unfairly labeled as “troublemaking Canadians,” will not return to Secrets St. James Montego Bay.

Secrets St James: Disappointed

I’ve never been to any resort that pressured u to spend more money, from the time u arrive , u are pushed with excursions or upsells . Rented cabanas were so plentiful that u had not enough loungers near the pool , best seats at entertainment were available if u bought a premium bottle of wine only. There was no lobby bar to sit with your group , or anywhere else for that matter . Staff was as rude and unfriendly as I’ve ever encountered anywhere and I’ve been to many countries. Some in our grou [... read more]p didn’t see housekeeping for days . This resort is more expensive than most and gives u much less for your money , food was just ok as well . We attempted to cancel our catamaran because of bad weather and I was called a trouble maker be concierge after that , I’m just so disappointed in our experience at secrets , I’ve never put a bad review for any resort before , but our whole group feels the same . Pools were not clean as well

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Good Hotel

Dining was great. Good food, Friendly people Maintenance an issue. Called or visited the desk 5 times trying to get the toilet handle fixed. Finally fixed on the last full day we were there. Take a picture of the map on the walkways, the web site map isn't sufficient to find your way around.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Great Stay! but a few hiccups.

This is a very large Hotel complex. We stayed on the Luxury Adults Only section. Our check in was very prompt and our rooms were large and very clean. We had a 3rd floor room with a balcony overlooking the pool and a partial view of the ocean. However it tended to be very noisy in the evening because we were close to the Bar. We had issues with the toilet and had to have someone up to fix it 3 times before it was fixed properly. We had a bad experience with the Romantic Dinner on the Beac [... read more]h which we paid extra for($68.us each). Two of us had the salmon and two had the steak. The steak was very tough and you could not cut it with the knife provided. Service was extremely slow!!! We spoke to several staff members at the front desk and reused to pay for the steak dinners. After much discussion and being referred to several staff during the process the hotel finally refunded us for 2 of the 4 dinners. The rest of the food was excellent at all of the buffets and the other a la cartes we visited especially The Knife Steak House. The Staff are the friendliest we have encountered in traveling. Always smiling and very courteous, they can not do enough for you. The beach at the family section was the best.

Riu Ocho Rios: Honestly, probably will not be going back to this resort.

The area that was the most disappointing was the dining. The food in my opinion was not very well prepared and did not have any taste, Jamaican flavor. We tried all the different restaurants, and the experience was all the same. In fact, most days we ate off site and encored extra cost because of this experience. Also, the service at best was poor and consistently poor. The room was great but had to get the Public Relations Manager involved as a result of the constant drilling on one pa [... read more]rticular night. As a result of the hotel changing tiles in the kitchen.

Princess Grand Jamaica: Amazing resort

Grounds are clean well kept, food is plentiful, staff took great care in preparation the way one likes it, friendly and willing to make your experience with them as homelike as possible with no snow only white sands, the beach is lovely to sit and enjoy the colour of the water, clouds,warm sun, an organic feel, rooms clean, a few hurdles to overcome as they are new and learning
