Catalonia Montego Bay: Great resort for the price

Resort was great for the price. Not extremely extravagant but the food, people, and atmosphere made up for all of that. If ur ok with a resort that doesn't look super fancy but everything else is good than this is the place formyou

Riu Ocho Rios: Great Resort

There was only three things I didn't like about this resort.. rooms were very musty smelling and the entertainment wasn't great and some bar staff weren't friendly..the beach and grounds are beautiful, food was great

Catalonia Montego Bay: Great resort for families, not for young people

Jerk hut was great! Adult pool too shallow and small, kind of dirty. Buffet food was ok. Beaches were great! especially the island. Was not happy about the closing time of 6pm for the pools. Rooms were ok. Dissappointed in not having enough night life.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Perfect destination wedding vacation!

We stayed at the GP Jamaica with 23 friends for our wedding. Although check in was disorganized (it was 11pm and the staff were stressed and not overly friendly), we all enjoyed our stay here. It is a large resort but easy to walk and there are shuttles available to take you wherever you want to go. The food was fantastic! Buffets always had a large variety of items, tried the mexican, jamaican, indian, and steak house and all were really good! All drinks we tried were great. Staff were  [... read more]mostly friendly and fun! The jamaica rooms are dated but large and still nicely appointed. Our group stayed in buildings 12 and 13 which are close to the main areas and across from the quiet pool....which was the perfect spot! The lady hamilton rooms are updated and nice. We stayed in a suite on the LH side in building 26. The room was amazing...ocean front and close proximity to the main building. It was very noisy as we were close to the main pool, and beach where many wedding receptions are held....but everything shuts down at a reasonable time. Since the resort is so large it can be pretty busy at the main pool and the a la cartes. We didn't have any problems finding chairs on the beaches. The wedding department was fantastic! Our wedding coordinator was Meloney and she was amazing. The wedding day was perfect and we didn't have to stress or worry about anything! Our wedding day was a dream! This was our second time in Jamaica and were very pleased with our experience and wedding at the Grand Palladium!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Great Resort

We recently returned from a one week stay at the Luxury Bahia Principe Runaway Bay and had a great time. Overall it is a great resort and I would recommend it to couples or singles wishing to get away for an easy, fun holiday. The Good - Rooms are very clean, great size and well maintained. A/C works great. Always hot water for the nice big shower. Double sinks are great. Balcony is big and clean. Check-in was easy with the front desk, the bell guys, etc. The Jazmin buffet was grea [... read more]t, good options, good quality, clean with friendly staff. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Love the Coconut Beach Bar. It's nice to have a proper bar (with decent alcohol) and toilets so close to the beach. The staff are great (Maureen and Jason in particular) And if you're lucky, you'll be there when DJ HQ/Andre shows up! He is amazing! It's such a great idea to have music at that bar because otherwise it can be a little quiet. The karaoke and disco are good options for night time entertainment. It's on the Grand side, but it's easy to walk or to have a golf cart drop you off. The best beach is in the middle, beside the wedding chapel. It's a little rocky but overall it's the best option because there is some sand and there are some good spots for snorkeling. The So-So - The Luxury lobby bar is OK. The servers are OK but its sort of lifeless around there, even when there is entertainment it's just not that great. Dance lessons or something would be great. Also, for an adults only side I think closing the bar at 11pm is way too early. Although there is a disco on the other side of the bar it's not for everyone. I feel 1am would be much more appropriate. The restaurants are just OK. Honestly we ate in the buffet every night, even after going to the restaurants. The quality and taste are better in the buffet, and for us there were better options for my bf. It's too bad there isn't a Jamaican restaurant! The Needs-To-Improve - The beach on the Luxury side. It's very shallow with too many rocks/shells for the fact there is a big break wall so it should be cleaned out better. Wifi access was problematic. For the entire trip I had to go into the lobby for access. Even though I don't need/want to be attached constantly, it's nice to have access when I want it, where I want it and how it is advertised. And for the first 1.5 days neither of us have access anywhere. Lobby in general. For the Luxury side, it's not nearly as luxurious looking as the Grand side, and it's just kinda boring. Overall though I recommend it for value in Jamaica! This was my second visit and I would absolutely consider returning. I noticed some improvements from the last time I visited (Oct 2016) which was nice to see.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: It was Ok

The resort was beautiful and the Jamaican staff great. The hotel has communication problems. It was a hassle to make reservations for the restaurants as their wasn't any times available but u walk by the restaurants and they were 20% occupied. This visual pissed off a lot of the guests. 9 of us got sick after the Japanese restaurant. My stay at the Iberostar was much better.

Secrets St James: The Great Escape!

Beautiful resort! Scenic views. The sunset is incredible. The people were amazing! Boyd......James Bond..... Carla....... the whole volleyball crew! Great service. Friendly. Accomadating. Great for a relaxing, luxurious vacation.

Couples Swept Away: Great Beach

Spent 7 days at Couples Swept Away, room was great, we would recommend a second floor room, better views. Food was good, lots of choice although I think they need 1 or 2 more sit down restaurants. Staying 7 days we felt we needed more options. Although pools were small it is not a pool resort, the beach is the sell on this resort absolutely beautiful. Great to have all activities included in price. Staff were great, friendly, accommodating and quick to respond to any problems. We look forwar [... read more]d to returning.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Loved it!

Great resort, with nice pools, several beaches and lots to do. Watch out for sea urchins in the water at the far beach! I loved the food! Besides the Jamaican food, the Steakhouse and Indian restaurant were my favourites.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Great Resort

Hotel was excellent, very clean and friendly. Our maid went over and above in her service. Our problem was with Air Transat and we were not pleased with how we were treated at the boarding desk. Four people were booked for two seats. Two people booked twenty four hours before the flight online for our seats that we booked on April 1st. We were not treated very nice at the desk as we were told those two that booked the day before had priority over us. We were so upset that we asked to have our lu [... read more]ggage removed from the plane before it left for Jamaica. We were cancelling our trip because of how we were treated. Finally someone came and told us we would have our seats and the others would be moved and they got Option Plus for free as they gave up their seats for us. We will not fly Air Transat again and will be telling everyone we know not to book through Trip Central or Air Transat. NOT HAPPY

Royalton Negril Resort And Spa: Fantastic Vacation!

We were a little nervous about this trip because the resort opening was later than expected. NO NEED! The resort is beautiful starting with its impressive lobby, to the restaurants and gorgeous rooms. Every room has an ocean view. We stayed on the Hideaway side and the view from our room was breathtaking! The beach on the Hideaway side was not to my liking as it was rocky and very small but the main beach was beautiful, I loved it! No need for any reservations for the restaurants (except f [... read more]or Zen) and no strict dress code for the men so eat when you want and guys, be comfortable while doing it! All restaurants have the option for indoor or outdoor seating which is another fantastic feature. Now let's talk about the buffet! Best buffet I've been to in the Caribbean! Very big with lots of options and again have the option to eat in or out. The buffet also has a separate dining room for Hideaway residents. Also try to have lunch at Beach Point was the views are spectacular. That's where you can watch the sunsets as well, no need to go to Rick's cafe. I don't have anything to complain about. Yes there was construction but it didn't interfere with our vacation at all. On top of how beautiful this resort is, all of the employees are top notch! I mean genuinely helpful and friendly. All staff from Security to wait staff to cleaning people. We will definitely be back. Do not worry about going to this resort, I can't say enough about it!

Dreams Rose Hall: Great resort

The grounds are beautiful, easy access to all areas, well kept, rooms are nicely cleaned, enough towels in the room, water park was a lot of fun and great for families, ample beach/pool chairs, food was very good, so much variety beach was small but clean as workers groomed beach every day

Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall: Great Resort!

It was great however I needed more time to see the entire facility! The people were amazing hosts. I enjoyed room service very much! I was looking for seafood night but no avail. Overall it was a good!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Wonderful vacation!!!

This was our first trip to Jamaica and we would return in a heartbeat. We stayed on the Luxury side, which gave us access to the entire resort. The staff was extremely friendly, happy to answer any questions, whether about the resort, about Jamaica in general or sites we should visit off the resort. We liked the food, tried four of the à la carte restaurants. And really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the adults only side. Only suggestion to improve would be for the sports bar to offer some sort [... read more] of bar food - nachos, wings, even just chips and peanuts would be nice. It was somewhat surreal to be in Jamaica with a bar full of people chanting "Go Leafs Go" as we watched Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs. The rum flowed freely and even though we had some rain most evenings, the weather was amazing. The staff was constantly cleaning, our Air Canada Rep was fabulous and always accessible. It was a truly wonderful, relaxing vacation which ended far too quickly.

Riu Reggae: Great Resort, Problematic Vacation

The Riu Reggae was great. Although the first three days of our trip was a headache and problematic, the Riu Reggae was enjoyable. The Beach was clean, the resort was clean, the staff was friendly and very efficient. My parents are Jamaican Born so I was able to really compare the resort food with the food made from my parents and it was quote comparable. The only thing I would improve on is the entertainment as it was not entertaining at all in my opinion.

Sandals Jamaica Ocho Rios: Sandals Failed in their Promise of a Luxury Included Vacation

The resort is very old and dated, our pool was dirty and the filters were clogged with leaves. There was no relaxation due to the noise from the traffic and maintenance workers. We had money stolen.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: nice quiet resort

If you are looking for a nice quiet vacation with great service and for the most part awesome food, this may be the place for you. GOOD: The grounds are clean and well kept, the staff are very attentive and friendly, The food is never bad ( but sometimes not very exciting either) The pool is very nice with different levels to look like a waterfall. There is a new full-service Gym available in the Suites Resort, but the Grand does have it's own smaller gym. Butler service takes care of all [... read more] your restaurant bookings which is nice. NOT AS GOOD: it is a small resort with very little to do except sit by the pool or on the beach. Not much to do in the area as well, you cannot go outside the resort for a walk or to look at the area as it is right on the main Highway and the area really dosent have anything to walk to. I recommend you upgrade to an ocean front room, the veiw is really nice

Sandals Jamaica Ocho Rios: Sandals Ochi staff make this resort!

We stayed over on the opposite side of the resort from the beach club side and was amazed at how great all staff where on this resort,always in a great mood and upbeat,food was excellent and drinks great.We where in a butler unit with 3 other rooms and your own small pool outside our deck, the other couples in the same complex as ours where with our group so worked out great for us as we all hung out around the pool and on our deck.Rooms in this area are idue for some freshening up,but where al [... read more]ways clean and exceptable.bed was extremely comfortable.Always lots of beer and drinks in the room and snacks,our butlers did an awesome job with looking after all and we our not the type that where constantly calling on them to get things,This side of resort is built on a bit of a hill so there is a bit of walking up and down ,so can be a bit of a pain if you don't like hills,but there are tons of little shuttles and golf cart running aroung that will pick you up if you wait.On the beach side there are 3 small beaches,I you like big beaches and walking them there is none of this here but there was always lots of chairs and staff around to serve you if you need anything,the beach side was a lot busier than the villa side. Over all this is a beautiful resort with excellent staff, a bit on the bigger side than I like but we had an awesome time with our group from the Kim Hartlen Trip Central escorted trip.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Favourite resort ever

Food, drinks, entertainment crew, beach, pool, room service, presentation all 10/10 from the heart. Leaving was very sad, this was my second time and there will be more returns undoubtably! Never felt so comfortable and well taken care of anywhere else. Iberostar is a dream. Miss it already!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Nice Resort

The hotel itself is very beautiful, our room was amazing with excellent views of the ocean and the grounds.We found the staff on the luxury side to be friendly and helpful, however we did not find the same on the Grand bahia side of the hotel. the food in the Jasmine was excellent with a large variety to suite just about everyone.the staff were very friendly and helpful. Down sides to the hotel, the beach was not that great and the elevators had issues all week during our stay. This would norma [... read more]l be an issue for me, but we had an elder relative traveling with us and we were on the upper floors of the hotel. Overall it was a good experience.
