Catalonia Montego Bay: Peaceful and relaxing

This is our third visit to this resort,previous to the new name and new owners, this resort was the holiday inn. Although it is tired and needs renovation, it’s in the process now and we hope to return to see the upgrades next year. The main reasons for returning is the Staff,so friendly, the food, always tasty and plentiful, it’s quiet and always loungers on the beach. The jerk chicken shack was a daily lunch visit, the best jerk we had in Jamaica and the two,ladies were amazing, they worked  [... read more]hard to ensure everyone had lots to eat and drink. The gardeners did a great job, grounds very neat and tidy. The beach was raked every morning. The a la cartes were very good and you could always get a reservation for dinner. The buffet was very good as well. The ladies at the front desk were wonderful and check in was a breeze. This is not a high end resort, but was clean, well kept and comfortable. We felt safe and our items could be left on the beach without a worry. I would recommend the Catalonia to everyone, couples, singles and families. There was good security and no vendors bothering you on the beach Or in the resort. The swimming area needs to be addressed, too shallow. Hoping the new owners keep with the Jamaican feel and don’t overprice next year.

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Great resort!

I took my 4 sons and my husband here and we had the most amazing time! The entertainment was great , the food was delicious, and the beach was beautiful! We felt welcomed right from the moment we got off the bus . The only thing I would say could use improvement is at certain times you can’t get food , not long times but a couple times we were famished and had to wait an hour .. all in all we cannot wait to return!!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: terrible for us

the hotel was clean and grounds were great the rooms ok hated there was no beach puts it done to a 1 for us, foods at buffet was for us uneatable , except for fruit and ice cream, rooms were outdated and old feeling, beds were hard and our fridge was not stocked daily. I will not return as this resort did not offer me 3 things I thought was there, beach/to swim in, international liquor (crown royale was $9.00 a shot american) and small

Dreams Rose Hall: Excellent Customer Service

The Resort was very clean. The food was excellent. The staff are very helpful and have fantastic customer service. The nightly entertainment was ok. Was expecting a little more than a jazz band every night. The curious show was good, they needed more of that kind of entertainment. Our room was basic, could have used a makeup table instead of a desk. We found not enough room for bathroom stuff on the sink area, made it look cluttered. The view from our room was spot on, we could see the ocean [... read more] as well as the pool and bar area. We had a few issues with our water in the shower but once brought to the hotels attention they fixed it. My only major complaint is check in. We stood in line for over an hour and half to get a room. That is not acceptable! People were getting frustrated and cutting the line. If there was is an issue with the rooms not being ready, check people in and let them enjoy the resort, they can go back to front desk to get a room assigned with in a hour or two. Or bring more maids on. We will not go back to this resort, only because we decided we prefer a place with no children. This resort is great for family’s.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Amazing resort!

I had a really great vacation with this resort chain and would definitely go back! The resort was beautiful — the grounds were extremely well kept and clean, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic, with the Asian restaurants being a real standout. We stayed on the luxury side, and I was a huge fan of the poolside entertainment — special shoutout to Crazy Legs for keeping the energy high and making it so much fun! The only downside to our stay was the del [... read more]ay in getting into our room. We didn’t get in until around 6 PM, and when we did, we noticed some slight mold issues and a non-working A/C. Thankfully, guest services acted quickly and moved us to a different room, which resolved the issue. All in all, it was a wonderful trip, and I’m already looking forward to returning!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Peaceful family vacation

Just spent a week in Jamaica at the Grand Bahia Principe. Rooms were clean, nice king bed and good air conditioning (almost too good). The buffet was well varied, had steak almost every night grilled but large variety of other meats. Fresh fresh fresh vegetables, a little early for good msgo but nice variety and fruit selection. Pool had a lovely mix of shallow water for small kids and deeper water with music by the pool bar. Found it hard to get chairs the first couple of days but made o [... read more]ur way to the beach and spent most of our days there. Everything was central (5 min walk to our rooms, the pool, the buffet, the beach) and there were a number of cordoned off beach spots to choose from. The grandkids thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling in shallow eater and seeing lots of fish and hermit crabs. Bahia has a good, reliable standard and it was a great relaxing vacation. Only the airport was a disappointment returning home. There were several restaurants in the airport terminal but none were open except Wendy's and Margaritaville. Excellent weather, good food, good drinks and a great time with family.

Azul Beach Resort Negril: 90th birthday celebration

We would first like to say that the beginning of our trip was a rocky start. Receiving an email from Air Transat just a day before our vacation about the downgrade of the hotel was in itself worrying but as there were over twenty people to consider with their offer we really had no choice as some of our party had already arrived. Contacting them to see what their impressions were aided in the decision that we had to move forward with the celebration as planned. We felt we could deal with issues [... read more] as the arose. We all arrived safely and always thankful to the pilots and crew that make that happen. We arrived fairly late in the night but give credit to our bus driver for our safe arrival. It is a skill to drive over there. Not sure why but we were given an upgrade to a better room. We had paid for the Premium Oceanview suite and got a swim up room. Nice but in the very last building, very last room next to a very, very noisy highway. I would not consider that an upgrade. We understood the resort to be at full compacity so not worth the aggravation to change rooms. Please avoid any room the backs onto that highway. The birthday celebrations are planned for the Saturday. We contacted the hotel and met with Manuel (Food and Beverage Manager). We give a BIG thank you to Manuel and his crew that made the entire afternoon and evening very special for a special 90th birthday. Family and friends from all over were there to make this a day to remember. Lots of food and laughter. Service was great and everyone enjoyed themselves. As for the resort itself they should be thankful for some of their amazing staff members who made it feel like a holiday. However I would really recommend that the resort rethink how they do their towel service. Seven days there and only one day we had access to beach towels. Not sure why it was a big issue. Other resorts give you a card to get towels or exchange towels. The resort did deserve to be downgraded but I think a 3 1/2 star at most. It is tired and needs a good amount of time spent to bring it up to a higher rating. No one went hungry but they were always running out of things. A very special thank you to the amazing staff that are working in the restaurants for their hard work. Our hostess at the Mahogany buffet restaurant and servers at the bars around the resort. We would also like to give a special shout out to Lyndon our tour driver of "PurposeDriven Tours" Jamaica. He was exceptional on our tour to the Appleton Rum Estate. A tour I would highly recommend doing. He also provides Airport Transfers, Jamaican tours all over the island and private tours if you want. We were glad to at least be out of the snow and into some warm weather. Aside from the daily heavy rain showers it was so nice to be able to swim in such a beautiful location on the Seven Mile beach.

Royalton Negril Resort And Spa: This resort was BOMB!!!

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Royalton Negril! The food was out of this world so many choices in the buffet! We loved hunter steakhouse! The pool and vibes team was always on point! Download the Royalton app, everything was seamless! Use the app to book Al a carte, room service and to make any requests! Mini fridge stocked daily, rooms were always clean with fresh towels! The pool bartenders always had my cup filled and everyone was so pleasant and cheerful! we will be back Negril!

Riu Montego Bay: Wonderful Resort

We had a most wonderful 1 week stay at the Riu . This was our second time there as we enjoyed it so much. Certainly we will be back. The selection of daily foods at the Buffett was great, the Jerk chicken hut was even better. We also enjoyed a delicious meal at the Steak house. Our Room was well suited and clean, we requested a certain Room and was so glad to have been able to get it. MJ and Brandy were always so kind and the whole Resort Staff as well.

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Nice quiet resort.

We like small resorts with lots of greens/trees etc. Especially the huts in garden like settings are very nice and comfortable. The 5 beaches are nice but small and the windy weather allowed body surfing more than swimming! Facilities and food are good but moderate. Did not use the pool so no rating. The beach bar was under renovation which did not affect us but if your room is at the far east end then it is a long walk to get a beer!

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Great week!!

Food, service, live entertainment and accommodations were all amaizing! Was a great week. Only complaint is there were not enough lounge chairs and we could not watch NHL hockey games at the sports bar.

Royalton Hideaway Negril: Amazing Staff & Food

This resort was not a true "Adult" resort as expected. Some restaurants were "family" restaurants. It was also very difficult to get dinner reservations without staff assistance which required us to have to go down to the lobby desk almost daily. We did love the staff and all of the food at the restaurants. It was a long (more than 3 hours), uncomfortable ride from the airport. We ended up spending $120.00 US to get private transportation back to the airport for departure which took about an hou [... read more]r & 10 minutes.

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.
