Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: Quaint and beautiful!

This resort is about creating a unique and memorable experience for guests as only the Jamaican people can do. Comfortable rooms, lush gardens and friendly, accommodating staff complete the experience .

Jewel Paradise Cove: Beautiful resort, great staff

The hotel was beautiful and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and the beach was nice! Lots of activities were available to keep you entertained and off site excursions were easy to book. The food was delicious! I had a wonderful stay overall!

Jewel Paradise Cove: Best time of my life

Everything is amazing there, the food, the grounds, the staff. I felt well taken care of. Never hungry or bored. The resort was never crowded, I always found a chair. I loved the small beach. I felt like a mermaid in the jade water. The water was so clean and clear, that you could see the bottom. Love love love this place. Lots of Canadians there I truly felt at home. This resort deserves all the repeat business they​ get, and they get lots

Melia Braco Village: Amazing Resort

This was our first time in Jamaica. We have no complaints after spending a week at the Melia Braco Village. The resort was amazing. Clean rooms, friendly staff, we used the Buffet for breakfast and lunch and were never disappointed they changed up some of the dishes on a daily basis. The 4 restaurants we tried in the evenings were really good food too - did not need to reserve, got seated straight away and friendly staff. Entertainment every night. We always got sunbeds on the beach and pool [... read more] area. We took water shoes as we had been told it was a little rocky in places. We will definitely return to this resort.

Sunscape Splash: Clean, Pleasant Resort, but not without its failings.

While the resort was clean, and the staff were pleasant, we were disappointed that several of the restaurants did not open at all and/or were only open one night of the entire week. Our rooms were not as promised, and when we attempted to resolve it, they wanted to charge us an additional $700 USD to "upgrade" to the rooms we originally booked. A phone call to our AMAZING tripcentral travel agent Sarah-Jean and all was resolved, and we were moved to our proper rooms....however it took thre [... read more]e days for this to happen! They hold "towel cards" like hostages, and it is nearly impossible to get them - however you absolutely CANNOT get a towel for the pool or beach without one, so if you happen to forget your towel cards up in your room, prepare to pack up your entire family to go back up and get them (says the frustrated mother of four children as the disinterested towel Nazi watches me struggle). Our children adored the water slides, and finding hermit crabs, starfish, sea urchins and barracuda in the beach shallows was a popular favorite for our crew! Beautiful pictures were taken, and fun times were had by all despite the difficulties we encountered. We were always full, although the buffet being the only restaurant the majority of the time became repetitive for certain. Not a 4.5 star as promised - probably a 3 star at best.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Awesome resort

2nd time at this Resort, the food was very delicious as usual, lots of Jamaican dishes to choose from. The staff at IBEROSTAR ROSE HALL BEACH makes the difference at this resort, Stringbean, Angel, Chocolate and all the other entertainment staff is just amazing and wonderful people. Sandrnee at the front desk, you are the best, what an amazing, helpful and kind person you are. The bar tenders are the best I have seen compare to other resorts I have visited. The rooms at this resort is very d [... read more]ated and very damp, needs major upgrading. Washrooms needs brighter lights and fan.

Dreams Rose Hall: Beautiful Family Resort

Very clean and extremely helpful staff; We initially had a problem with the our room on the ground floor (requested full ocean front) but the an outdoor restaurant partially blocked our view including the heavy guest traffic walking by to the beach was uncomfortable. After three nights we were transferred to the 6th floor of full ocean view which was great. The entire resort was a pleasure to stay at; we would definitely return.

Beaches Jamaica Negril: Beaches Negril

One of the best vacations we have ever had! The water park was smaller then the other two locations but service was spot on. We traveled with a 6 year old and he loved Pirate Island and the slides. Kim worked with us from the very beginning and was always available to answer our many questions! We did have to use the medical facilities there and were well cared for. Food was fantastic with lots of great options. We were so happy with the vacation that we rebooked for next year!

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: It,s deff an amazing resort

We loved iberostar suites staff where very friendly polite food at the buffet was excellent we tried five resturant s there they also where excellent Italian japenes French where fantastic entertainment was good and funny more live would be good that is the only thing if I have to say negative they could work on entertainment more staff by the pool and all the activities where also great I rank this resort very high our son is 23 came with us he had agreat time great resort for all ages

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing resort!!

Entire stay was great. Resort was amazing-everything was clean and well maintained. Food service left nothing for you to want for-selection, variety and quality were great. Pools, activities, entertainment were awesome. The staff of the resort really made our vacation memorable, they really went out of their way to make our stay special. We had my daughter's wedding there and it was perfect. The wedding planner was so helpful in making everything perfect.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: What a view!

The views from the Luxury ( buildings 25,26,27) are amazing! The arrival and check in: transfer from airport took a couple hours because we waited on the bus for an hour before everyone was on. The trip was an hour and they had beer for sale on bus. No bathroom so we stopped at a hotel as we dropped someone off. Check in: Air Canada took us to a different part of lobby to do our own check in, unfortunately there were 30 people and you couldn't hear so people just started gabbing their own keys,  [... read more]they should have just given everyone a drink to calm them down and welcome them to hotel ( just saying). Food: all good. Bars: lobby bar great atmosphere, sunset bar (martini bar on the water to watch sun set, oh ya no dry vermouth to make a real martini, just all flavoured martinis), pool bar ran out of ice each day and bartenders constantly running up and down stairs to get bottles from part of bar on the deck side ( I'd suggest having bottles at both spots, lol). Service: hit and miss, some excellent servers who acknowledge people by eye contact others who need some customer service training. Way too many waiting with their hand out - tip or not the service didn't change ( btw We tipped 30 US at dinner one night because the service was amazing and she didn't imply she was looking for a tip). Daily entertainment: good. Other: beach party in the afternoon was a blast! Memorable moment: hotel manager in full suit wading into the pool handing out ice cream to everyone in the water! Overall beautiful resort, very clean, nice beach, golf down the road was fun, some staff amazing some need work. Oh ya remember you are in Jamaica and it called for rain everyday and yet it didn't rain once (April 10- 17) . And finally, you are in Jamaica so relax and enjoy your vacation - if you have a bad time there is only one person to blame...

Riu Ocho Rios: AMAZING TRIP

My best friend and I,along with 2 couples, stayed for a week at the Riu from April 24 to May 1.We had an amazing vacation.The beach was beautiful.The pool was great.The food was delicious.The cleaning staff was amazing.They were the friendliest of all the staff.SYYDIA YOU ROCK.Cleanest resort I ever stayed at.The wait staff was very friendly and efficient.The cooks were always smiling and friendly.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Don Pablo Collection April -May 2017 Ontario Canada

Very good location in Runaway Bay. Excellent room vey spacious and very clean. Friendly staff for the most part except some of the hostess not always cheerful. Ex. Jasmin open at 7:30am we are there at 7:28am and they make you wait:( . Check in should be revised we couldn't get our room as promised which is 3:00pm. Have to go to the reception many times to follow up. Restaurants reservations as well. We couldn't get the Italian and the Mikado because of restrictions. Booked on the Luxury Don Pab [... read more]lo Collection we should have priority over the Bahia side. Yet every place we went the restaurant was always half empty. Don Pablo was disapointing compare to our visit 2 years ago. Garden Grill we were rushed , the waiter was overloaded. Order a steak medium rare came raw not cooked enough. Takada should closed food not good and cold. Jasmin was excellent buffet. Picasso and Rodizio were far the best 5 stars. Beach restaurant near the pool was fantastic , jerk chicken excellent. White wine was adequate but the red was awful. Main lobby bar wasn't organized bartenders were all over the place. Beach were great. Will come back maybe. This was our second time at this resort been in Jamaica seven time. Overall still was a very good relaxing vacation. Weather which is not controllable could be better it rain everyday for long time (half day). First time since we been in Jamaica.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Awesome Resort! Paradise!!

Stayed at Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton for 4 nights with a group. The resort was well beyond expectations. The thing that impressed the most was the vast amount of beautiful space the resort offers. The website doesn't do justice to the vastness of this place. There are so many options of pools and beaches that offer a nice variety of experiences from one day to the next. Then there are so many dining & entertainment options that offer the same variety of experiences throughout the evening [... read more]s. The facilities are beautiful. The food is nice. The rooms are great. It is a wonderful place to spend a week!! We would absolutely look for an opportunity to return!

Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: Jewel in Jamaica

If you are looking for a smaller, relaxing resort with excellent food and service, this is your place. The service was fantastic and the people who work there were the friendliest staff I have ever encountered on a resort. The food was great from start to finish. We always had a great meal.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Lovely Resort

The resort was lovely and very clean. The food was very good. The only problems we had were two nights when we went for showers there was no hot water. We asked for our room to be cleaned in the AM as we like to go back in the afternoon but that only occurred once.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: 2nd visit.. disappointed and wont be returning to this resort

My 2nd visit to this resort and to say the least.. very disappointed from my first visit and will not be returning. The customer service was not the greatest and it seemed like the staff couldn't care less if you were there or not, we spend over $3500.00 per couple to come to a 5 star resort.. they should remove 2 stars and list it as a 3 star. Upon arrival, there is no welcome drink, we were rushed into the lobby area, told to sit, advised that a $6 USD charge for the safe per day was if we w [... read more]anted the safe. Our credit card was provided for deposit, I was not given a key like my other friends and was told that my room key would work the safe. NO such thing.. I had to return to the front desk to request a key, which did not work. I then called the front desk to inform them my key was not working and was directed to a voicemail that was full. I did not get back to the front desk until the next day and guess what.. I was charged $6 USD for the one day of a safe not working and had to pay them cash.. unreal. We are a group of 10 people and some are early risers that like to take in the sunshine. Two of my friends were up early and asked one of the staff if there was coffee available until the buffet opened and simply got a NO; however, there is coffee set up on the open terrace on the landing each morning for guests to enjoy. I had emailed several times prior to arriving to try and get our a la carte's booked ahead of time and was informed that our request was sent to public relations where the bookings are done; however, no guarantee we could be accommodated. Our dinner reservations were mixed up from the start. Upon arrival we were provided our packages, I was not told that there was an envelope with our restaurant bookings (only 1 out of the 3 done) in my package and spent an hour upon arriving at the public relations desk trying to get sorted out. I was able to get the steakhouse booked; however, they could not seat all of us together table of 10 was told largest table was 8, that was fine so put 6 and 4 per table. They booked 6 under my room and the other 4 under someone else room not even in our group??. They can accommodate large tables for weddings thou but not 10??? I don't get it. The Italian restaurant (which was booked on our behalf of the manager due to other issues) we were told there was no booking for us when we arrived for our reservation . We then went to double check with public relations desk to find there was no booking reserved for us; however, when the manager who booked it called the next day followed up with us to find out how our dinner was, we found out an email was sent to the restaurant indicating our booking and not an actual reservation (we were given verbal not written receipt). We were told each manager has a phone with email's; however, no one bothered to check their emails to confirm and we were simply told we were not booked for 6:30. The food was not the greatest at the buffet and found several cockroaches crawling over food and on the floor and also in the bathrooms. One friends room smelled like mold and you were bitten within minutes of being in the room (took some work but got them moved to a nicer / cleaner room). The swim up bar constantly ran out of booze and ice. The casino bar had premium drinks for a cost which is fine and we had no problem paying; however, no one knew the cost of a drink that would be charged to your room?? I am one to take trip advisor with a grain of salt when planning a trip; however, after this experience I will take a closer look. Very disappointed return vacation

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: 50th Birthday Vacation

The resort was very nice and staff extremely friendly. Food was great. Trying to book a restaurant was an absolute nightmare. There were 11 in our party and they could not accommodate us in any of the restaurants (even though I contacted the resort and travel agent ahead of schedule informing them of the size of our party and tried to pre-book restaurants for 3 of the 7 nights), every restaurant was more than half empty each night, so this was extremely frustrating and spoilt an otherwise wonder [... read more]ful trip. It was a 50th birthday celebration so we expected to be able to eat as a group a couple of times. Also requested flowers and champagne (again ahead of schedule) in the room as a birthday surprise and this did not happen)!

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: What a wonderful vacation

Riu Palace Tropical Bay is a great resort. Our room was spacious, our bed was comfortable and the maids did an excellent job with the cleaning. The beach was sandy and clean. Food was very well presented with great selections. The grounds and pool area were kept neat and clean. We really enjoyed interacting with the staff who were always ready to please. Overall...a wonderful vacation spot.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Fantastic resort. Dont miss this one

What a beautiful place to spend a week. Gorgeous pools, sandy beaches all groomed to perfection. Food and entertainment was exceptional. All employees were kind and courteous. Not a bad word to say! Cant wait for next year.
