Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Nice quiet resort

The resort was very nice, staff was friendly and helpful. Our first room was very tiny, but we were moved to a new room which was great, and spacious and had a wonderful view. Food in the restaurants we tried was amazing!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Nice week away

The hotel is aging and in need of some updating. Having said that, it was very clean, the room was lovely, all the staff were top notch. Elevators were out of service frequently. This resort is large, if you have mobility issues it isn't for you. The a la carte restaurants were disappointing. The Knife and Mikado were good others nit so much. Trying to get a reservation was challenging as they aren't open everyday and apparently save tables for Privilege club members

Couples Negril: Charmimg resort

Couples Negril is a charming get away in Jamaica. The rooms are clean and spacious with lovely balconies. The grounds are delightful with lush tropical vegetation and fish pods. The beach is amazing. Because it backs onto the highway and small airport we would recommend asking for a room toward the front of the property. It is smaller than some hotels , quieter,and there was never a problem with finding a beach chair.The staff were friendly and polite.

Riu Reggae: Fantastic Resort

We were impressed from the minute we walked in. The staff at the front desk was so friendly and helpful and thorough with what we needed to know. Then off to the room which was perfect, great gardenview to sit and have drinks on later at night. The food was great also the service at the buffet and steakhouse. However the service at the Italian restaurant wasn't the beat and we did not return, the salmon was great just not the service. We sat down chose a glass of wine each, ordered our meal and  [... read more]were never approached again. Sat with empty water and wine glasses for over 30 mins. We walked to the Montego Bay Riu past the palace and realized we had made the right choice. This hotel Riu Raggae is the perfect size, not huge and wow cleanliness!! The maids and grounds keepers were fantastic. It was definatley the staff that make this Riu shine....thankyou to all of them!!

Coco La Palm: They keep me coming back for more!

This was my fourth time to Coco La Palm. The last time was over 10 years ago. I have to say I was pleased with the new upgrades, some small, like the picnic tables by the pools and some big like the new building with new rooms. The staff are very friendly and polite! The grounds are very well kept and beautiful! The beach is amazing! It has so much space with lots of area to sunbathe or just breeze out under a tree! The food was really really good, fresh, tasty and made to order. I mainly had th [... read more]e breakfast. It was so good! I am very pleased with the overall service, space, beach, food, room and cleanliness of this hotel. The location is perfect, steps away from Margaritaville and lots of great restaurants near by. A walk outside and there is food and convenience at the door step. I highly recommend this hotel for the great staff, the huge space on the beach, the food, the atmosphere, the perks, the beautiful gardens and the location!

Samsara Cliff Hotel: Great trip to Samsara, can't wait to retrurn

We loved that it was a small resort, on the cliffs, close to 7 mile beach. The staff were extremely friendly and the food was very good. Only downfall was that the wine was not included in the all-inclusive pkg. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing getaway.

Riu Reggae: Ok resort

1. Beach is Ok but the swimming in the Ocean was bad. Muddy water and muddy floor disgusting 2. Pools are only 90 cm deep 3. Loud music till 1am 4. Food in especiality restaurant was worse than the buffet. 5. Rooms are old and needs to be renovated. 6. Tripcentral should have advised us and gave us options of quieter resort

Riu Palace Aquarelle: Great resort

This resort has it all, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room, bed, etc., excellent food with lots of variety. The beach is beautiful but waves were too strong for swimming most days and very rocky a few feet in from shore.

Sunset at the Palms: Love this resort for peace. & tranquility

Beautiful grounds, with a Polynesian flair. Very Zen feeling.I beleive it is more geared to a mature crowd. No loud music. Piano bar at night in the Martini Bar.Food was wonderful. If you aren’t busy tomorrow I’m need of some relaxation, conversation. reading …this is the place of your dreams. I am 75 yrs old and there were many my age at this resort.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Beautiful resort

This resort is amazing. From the cleanliness of everything, to the yummy food, to the amazing staff. It has absolutely everything you could want. Best restaurant was the Mexican although they were all very good. The live music they have every night is wonderful.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Beautiful resort

Very clean, bartender Raymond was amazing making us feel special and makes amazing espresso martinis. Beach was beautiful and clean. Food was delicious at the buffet, so much variety to chose from. Tyrone Morgan from the Vibe Team also very social and hospitable. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would go back in a second.

Riu Negril: Was ok!

Updated rooms, grounds kept clean. Most of the staff were very friendly & accommodating but a few did need a lesson in customer service. Sunwing rep. really didn’t seem to like her job & we felt like we were bothering her. Nowhere to be found when our flight was delayed & left to fend for ourselves. Buffet had a good selection, steak restaurant was excellent but I will say the overall disappointment was the way they handle a la carte reservation…you have to log in at midnight to stand a chance [... read more] of getting a reservation 48hrs ahead (no sooner, no later) or you are out of luck…we only got one (steakhouse) and that was because we set our alarm for 12:01am and luckily got in- ridiculous we had to do that on a vacation. This was a common complaint for alot of people we spoke to.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Beautiful beach & Great Food!

This was our second time in Jamaica. First time at Hideaway Blue Waters! Resort is lovely, food is fantastic and the beach is amazing. There were a few things we had issues with but they didn't make or break our experience. The AC in our room didn't work well so it was very warm which was unfortunate. The closet door was broken and beat up and the door to the bathroom didn't actually shut. We obviously weren't happy about any of it but we didn't spend much time in the room. The rooms def [... read more]initely need updates and TLC. A few other things we left on comment cards were that it's very hard to book resturants as it's all on an app and not user friendly, the pool shuts down at 5pm which was very odd at an adult only resort and the nightlife entertainment could use work! We still had a great time overall those are just a few things that we questioned!

Princess Senses the Mangrove: Beautiful resort

Princess Senses is a beautiful resort (adult side) with lovely ocean view/front rooms, staff who are friendly and helpful and restaurants had excellent food. Despite initial room reserved not being available which was disappointing, the staff arranged a perfect quiet swim out (not platinum) room with amazing pool and ocean views in building 4(4116) our 2nd day and switched smoothly. We enjoyed the beach and it being so close to the room, the excellent food, entertainment variety and talent. T [... read more]he cafe served great coffees and snacks. The croissants were delicious. The room was spacious, quiet and tastefully decorated with great outdoor space for relaxing. The housekeeping team did an amazing job as did the shuttle staff. There were minor annoyances like having to pay for what should be included at a luxury all inclusive like extra fee for room service, night club and top shelf alcohol that is really not superior! The 1 soap dispenser in bathrooms was annoying as well. Alcohol in rooms would also be a plus ! It is more than an hour drive .Arriving on a Sunday and taking private transfer were definitely the best options to minimize traffic and stops otherwise it would most likely add another hour. All in all would definitely return to enjoy this resort and all it has to offer.

Samsara Cliff Hotel: Great stay

It’s a really beautiful spot. Small family run hotel. If you’re into big all inclusive chains this isn’t the spot for you. If you enjoy quieter off the beaten path locations this is a lovely spot. We didn’t do all inclusive but there were lots of great spots within walking distance. I much preferred this location then the beach but we walked down to legends (owned by same family) or took the free shuttle

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Beautiful resort

The hotel was very good. The staff were good and courteous. The Food was comforting. The entire resort was clean and tidy. I will recommend this resort to anyone. I just think the room is a bit dated and required some sprucing up to make it more modern.

Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach: One Love - Everything Irie

The Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach is a fantastic all inclusive for the price in Jamaica. The staff, food, event/entertainment and beach options kept us engaged and helped us wind down for some real rest and relaxation.

Couples Tower Isle: Lovely resort

Had an enjoyable week here. Room was clean and had all we needed. We were on the garden side. Very lush view, but next time I would go for the ocean side. Food was excellent. Bayside was our favorite. Only drawback for me was the amount of stairs because of sore hip and the beach is very small. Other than that would recommend this resort. It is small and we did meet lots of nice people. Shout out to Kay Ann.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Great week at the RIU Palace Tropical Bay!

We had an amazing week at the RIU. It was nicely designed and laid out. We loved the smaller buildings for our rooms - an amazing view of the Oceanfront - and best when we were post-beach with a in-room bar G&T in hand! One could not find a nicer beach that this one - not even the famous Negril 7-mile beach in our minds. The water was warm, that gorgeous clear turquoise colour, and, even had some starfish to delight us! The facilities were wonderful - clean, fresh, thoughtful, efficient. The [... read more] variety of bars, including the Coffee Bar (OMG, SO GOOD) were perfect, the pools weremclean and varying degrees of noise and busyness; the main buffet was plentiful and the food was always yummy. We enjoyed the Japanese a la carte and the Steakhouse - both got two thumbs up from us. (note, the portions were BIG which not all resorts do, and, truly, we could have easily shared one of our Japanese apps!) The staff were the true gems of the week I think...and I would encourage guests to partake in all of the amazing entertainment that was on offer. From the activation team (OMG, they don't get much sleep and give it everything they have to great results!) to the servers, bar staff, housekeeping, front desk, gift shop, spa team, and the ground keepers - there were always smiles, small chat, and, they remembered us. It made it all just that much more special. We partook in the white party at the RIU next door, learned about Jamaica's history during a day time session, and were surprised and absolutely shocked by how much we loved the silent disco (seriously, SO MUCH FUN!). We are already planning our return next year and, if I had to find one complaint...I'd say it was having to leave. Truly, it was that great (note: it was not at max capacity our week I don't think...but I do not believe you'd be fighting for chairs by the water or pool or in the buffet...it truly is a great resort!

Royalton Blue Waters: Worst resort I ever stayed at in the Caribbean

The hotel advertises paradise and a 5.star resort and amenities. Since our arrival, nothing was prepared, organized and nothing in the hotel was working. The kids splash area was not working on most days. The hotel was operating out of only one tiny elevator and the staff was also using the elevator and holding it for minutes at a time at different floors and even going in with big carts instead of giving guests the priority. All staff members looked inconvenienced when asked a question. If you  [... read more]travel with small children, this hotel is not for you. There is no way to get any food at the entire resort from 11am to 12:30pm. This is lunch time for most vacationers and for children who need access to food. Only if you have the deluxe ocean view room which was a really nice room with an amazing view is when you have the option of room service but it takes at least an hour for the food you order to arrive. If the restaurants are closed for an hour and a half and it takes an hour to get a room service order then what's the use? When you try to walk into a restaurant and take food out, the staff will always give you a hard time and then tell you will let you do it just this one time. Like they're doing us a favor like we're begging for food. This vacation cost $600 for the week. Out of that $5000 was for the resort for 2 adults and a child for 7 days. This is not the type of service that's worth this kind of money. We've been to countries like Cuba and received better service and more of a wow effect from 4 star resorts in Cuba than what we received at the Royalton Blue Waters Montego Bay. When I read all the negative reviews, I thought I'll keep an open mind and will try to enjoy and have our own experience but unfortunately, I am surprised that even easy going vacationers like us could be this disappointed in everything. Maid services and filling the bar fridge were missed twice and even when I called to alert them w hours have passed and it was nearing our son's sleep time and no one had come in to clean and when I called the front desk no one answered. I immediately went to the lab bby and there were 5 people behind and front desk. I lost it on them and I told them how unprofessional it is the ignore the calls when they are all just standing there. That's when they finally started to get things rectified. Even the restaurants we were not able to find any spots to book on any. It should be organized in a way where every guest gets to try a different restaurant each night but that's not the case and the staff don't seem to care to help you. They keep telling you to try again tomorrow or go every hour to see if anyone cancelled or didn't show up. It is ridiculous and laughable that you have to jump through hoops to get a dinner reservation and still would not be successful. Finally when I showed my do satisfaction to the 5 staff standing behind the desk is when a supervisor was one of them and she after hearing me yell fixed 2 reservations for us on our last 2 days of our stay. We watched many guests saying it was their worst experience and we even saw a guest crying saying she want a to leave and go anywhere else but there. Overall, we had a good vacation and we enjoyed the weather, the pool.and the beach but that's about it. Bad service, bad food, drinks sweetened using aspartame and other strange tasting sweetness. Sink in the room was clogged most of our 7 days and there was a couple.of days with Luke warm water and no hot water. Very slow services every where Just not worth the money. We give this resort 2 stars for service, 3 stars for food and 4 stars for amenities.
