Secrets St James: Secrets Jamaica

The hotel itself was nice. Staff were Rude. Bar service was very slow. No buffet for dinner. Food was too high end. Beach was clean. Resort was clean. Pool and most of the resort closed at 7pm not enough evening entertainment

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Excellent stay

This resort is super. People are so friendly and accommodating. The food is great and a big variety. The beach is ok. Not very long and the further you go out the more seaweed you get. Never a problem with chairs. Rooms are great. The resort is well taken care of. I would for sure recommend it.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Amazing family resort

Totally exceeded our expectations of a family resort. We had a real fun time. Kids loved it. Food was amazing!! Staff were super nice. Needed another staff member at pool bar though as it was too busy for one

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: A wonderful holiday!

My boyfriend and I had such a great stay at the Royalton White Sands from the moment we arrived to our departure. The staff were wonderful (in particular a big shout out to Rochelle at Opa, Ryan at Martini near Opa, Judith at Marche who made delicious omelets, Kamoy for driving me in the golf buggy on the rainy day down to the sports bar, Jeff in the fitness team, Jamar at Grazi and Kadian at Guest Services). But really all the staff throughout the resort were lovely and always said hello and as [... read more]ked how we were or if we needed anything. The resort is beautiful and so clean. We had an array of dining options to choose from, but unfortunately missed Jade (Asian cuisine) which I heard was delicious due to it being closed a lot of the time and we missed Calypso (West Indies cuisine) as we'd planned to go on our last night but it was closed then too. Nonetheless the other restaurants and food outlets were great and there was so much choice. We absolutely loved the freshly made burgers and pasta at the lunch buffet and the breakfast selection was awesome! The only thing I would recommend is a few more savory snack options, like crisps or nuts at the bars or in the mini bar in the rooms. It would be good to have these while sitting around the pool or beach. The pools were fabulous too and there were so many. We particularly enjoyed the adult only pool with the swim up bar and all the cocktail options, especially the Bob Marley and Rum Punch and it was great that there was so much entertainment happening throughout the day organized by the Vibe team. A highlight was that we were right on the beach too! We also loved the waterslides, they were great fun! The room was great, although we didn't have much of a view, but we weren't in the room all that much anyway. We met another couple who showed us their room view which was fabulous so you can always opt for one of those if a view is what you're after. One thing I would suggest for the rooms is full length mirrors. But the bed was so comfortable and the showers and bathroom amenities were lovely too. All in all, we had a fabulous stay and highly recommend this resort!!

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Absolutely Beautiful!

They food was delicious. We had a perfectly cooked steak at the steakhouse and awesome coconut shrimp and the Cajun. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Very happy employees - always singing. Also, our room was very modern and clean. We had a wonderful stay at this resort.

Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: Fair

Wouldn't do this resort again. Our room was hot. Air conditioning didn't work well. Fridge didn't work. Phone didn't work. Safe didn't work. Food was good Japanise resturant was the best. Drinks we're ok very strong. Beach was small but nice. Locals standing at the fence whistling and calling you over constantly was annoying. Entertainment crew was small but friendly.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: ibereostar great resort

I had an amazing time at the ibereostar rose hall suites rose hall st james. i was greeted with a nice tasty drinks, My one hiccup was that I wanted a kingsize bed and upon my arrival there was none available. i was put in a room with a double bed which was nice. they did get me a suite on the friday with my request for a king size bed. it was awesome. on the second floor and . the staff are amazing they made my stay memorable. the food is great. i am already planning my return trip and i would  [... read more]stay there again and again. I wish they had hand held shower in the bathrooms. entertainment was fantastic.

Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: Disappointing

The hotel was far from fully booked according to the staff yet when we arrived friday and tried to pay for our pre arranged upgrade we were told we had to wait til Sunday in the motel like rooms that we're pretty nasty and def not 4star hardly 3 star so Sunday comes and I get a call in the room telling us we had to be packed up and out by noon and our upgraded room would not be ready til 3 so roomless for hours we had to pay for a Cabana as my husband was sick no offer to comp it just inconvenie [... read more]nce. Went to check at 3 about our room and it still wasn't ready it cost me $99 for the Cabana til 4:30 so I went and spent time there til 4:30 go to the front desk expecting the room to be ready and it still wasn't as I'm sitting roomless in the lobby I'm hearing them tell the same thing to two other guests that their upgrade is not available finally after 5 they got a room for us blamed the housekeeping staff on our floor there were I'd say 10 rooms and only 4 were occupied I'm not sure what the point of them doing this is but it sure is frustrating then come check out day I was again willing to pay to keep the room til closer to our shuttle time and they said no sorry it needs to be empty by 12 as it's already rented our I would understand that if I knew the place was full but knowing it wasn't it was just another sourse of frustration as they offer late check out at $15/h I will never be back there nore will ever recommend this place.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: My 40th Birthday!

I have to say I had a wonderful time on this trip, a little too short for my liking but one to remember for a life time. Our host Kevon was amazing! When we arrived my friends told him it was my birthday he went and bought me a drink in the lobby, also singing Happy Birthday very loudly. Totally made it more special. The hotel was amazing and the people, I can’t say enough! A few points that weren’t too great: 1) I was told that if I did a breakfast with a diamond start sales rep I†[... read more]™d get a little gift. I wasn’t really wanting to get up early the day after my birthday to go for a breakfast with this person but I figured if I got a gift it would be worth it. However after 1 and a half hours if sitting with the rep and hearing the sale pitch I was tired and wanting to go back to my friends who I came with and was there for only 3 days. But at that point the rep was pretty upset and pushing hard for me to continued his pitch. I needed to get back to my friends and let them know I was on my way to join them at the beach. When I went to sign off and told them I had no interested to join I was told I will not get the gift because I did not finish the pitch. I was pretty upset that I lost time with my friends and did not get my gift after the fact. 2) Having to paid a taxi back and forth from the airport was not fun, we had a very hard time getting a good price, also we did not realized how much the taxi would be and so we didn’t budget for it and my friend almost got in to a fight with the taxi drive over the price. I would prefer that was set up with a shuttle before we had gotten there. Other than those two things the trip was great and of course I want to live there. Thank you Eliana for all of your help on making my 40th a memorable one. Regards Trish

Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: Wonderful resort

This resort was on the smaller side to what we are used to, but extremely well kept and hospitable. The grounds are immaculate and rooms large and clean. Turn down service at night was a nice surprise. The entertainment was enjoyable. Beach is on the small side and they said they had lost some with the hurricanes from surrounding areas. Thouroughly enjoyed our vacation!!

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Amazing

This was an amazing trip for my son and I .our first time at the grand palladium and definatly not out last. My sister and her family have been here 3 times . We were on a family trip the constrained 11 of us . 9 adults 3 kids are 2,3,&5. Such a kids friendly place .shows were great .foid was fabulous. We all came back a little heavier lol. Highly recommend going .staff was delightful Can't wait to go back

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Beautiful resort

The place was amazing. People were happy, spoke English. The night shows were good. The pool always had activities going on all day. Food was very good. Lots of bars throughout the resort. Going back next year. Very clean grounds for a older resort. Highly recommended

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Still a lovely resort!

This resort in my opinion is one of the best. If you think it is run down they will be updating in 2018. I have seen much worse hotels in my travels. Staff are lovely, grounds are simple but well kept. Food is pretty good. Beach is beautiful!! It is the type of hotel where you can do what you want as long as you are not bothering anyone. Seems to be a place for an older crowd that still likes to have a bit of fun.

Couples Swept Away: Tropical Getaway

Couples Swept Away Negril Jamaica is a fantastic place. You can relax and do nothing or you can be as busy as you like. The whole experience is wonderful. The staff are friendly, the property is beautiful, the water and beach are the best we've ever had the privilege to use.

Riu Reggae: Very good resort

Overall, this turned out to be an enjoyable vacation. Initially our room view was terrible, looking onto the Riu Palace walls next door, but they changed our room to a courtyard view the next day. The hotel itself is new and extremely clean and very compact. Restaurant and bar staff are exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Food is as great in quality and variety as our last three visits to Riu Ocho Rios. Beach is OK, not great.

Samsara Cliff Hotel: Quiet, relaxing, friendly

Great experience. Staff were friendly and very attentive. Grounds are nice and clean but no 5 star level, nor do they claim to be. The location is absolutely amazing for anyone who loves to snorkel, swim, cliff jump, and relax. No one will bother you to sell something. The sunsets are beautiful. You are just a few kilometres away from the famous Rick's Cafe and many great restaurants. Supermarkets and smaller restaurants are close as well (less than 3 minute walk). In addition it is very way t [... read more]o experience actual Negril as opposed to the resort life.

Riu Palace Jamaica: Awesome Resort

Having read all the positive reviews about the Riu Palace Jamaica we had to check it out. The resort was absolutely amazing, the people so friendly, the service second to none and the food fantastic. The rooms and public washrooms were spotless and we had a wonderful time. It was everything and more than you could ask for. We only wish that the entertainment had stuck to the theme nights instead of changing part way through but this was minor and had no effect on the enjoyment of our trip. My wi [... read more]fe and I would like to give a special thank you to Hugh the bell boy, Kenesha the waitress, Neville, Oscar and Jemar the waiters, Maureen the cleaner and Shane the bartender. I hope that management is reading this review and I would like to say to make sure you keep treating your staff well. They are a huge reason why this hotel is so amazing and go above and beyond the call of duty with always a smile on their face. To all our wonderful friends in Jamaica we miss you already and thank you for making our stay totally "AWESOME", thank you, Michael & Leisha

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Best Adults Only Resort

We just came back from the Ibersostar Grand last week, we went for our anniversary and can safely say this is the best adults only resort we have ever been to (we have travelled extensively to the Caribbean and Central America). I know our stay was going to be excellent when Felicia at the front desk upgraded us to an ocean view room upon request, thank you so much again. The room was big and spacious with and enclosed bathroom area and separate sitting area, a large balcony with seats and a s [... read more]wing. The room also came with butler service which we never experienced before, Romaine and Ronaldo made sure we were well looked after. Everyone on staff was always smiling and offering to help with any request we had any where on the resort we were. Thanks to Jodian for the cold drinks at the pool. This was totally a top notch resort, the buffet was the best selection we have ever seen and the a la carte restaurants was superb, top shelf liquor at all the bars, again best selection I have ever seen, Henessey, Grey Goose, high end brandy, you name it and it's there. They even provide free shuttles to duty free shopping in Rose Hall. The grounds was clean and well manicured, every day you could see the staff taking care of even the minor details. There was activities and sports every day around the pool beach area as well as live music and nightly entertainment. This is really a high end resort, I would say a bit higher that a 5 star, any one looking for a high end vacation, this is the place. We stayed Sept. 21st to 28th in room 6408. Thanks

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Beautiful place

Only a couple complaints. Chair on our balcony was cracked and pinched my leg badly. Our coffee caraf had a chunk out of the lip of the pot, and one of the coffee cups had a chunk missing as well. So every day these things never changed. So now that leaves me to wonder how clean other things in the room are. Really kinda gross to know that Mugs and glasses only got washed in bathroom sink. Also our room overlooked the luxury side which we were told we couldn't enter. What annoyed me was the reso [... read more]rt was not full, the luxury pool had chairs and umbrellas open daily. Our side not so much. The sun was very hot. Otherwise everything else was nice. Thanks.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Beautiful Resort
