Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall: Rooms need improvement

The hotel itself seems magnificent from the outside however once inside, you quickly realize that the inside needs to be updated. The seating area has seen better days; the foam can be seen coming out from the sofas. The first room assigned to us was nothing like what we asked for; it was on the ground floor, facing the pool, we had asked for a room higher up and away from the pool, the room itself was old and smelled of mould although we asked to be placed in a room that would offer a reprieve [... read more] to an asthmatic. The paint on the wall was dirty and spotted as if they applied the primer and forgot to paint the walls. We asked for a different room and were moved to a room placed in the old buildings again however this time we were higher up still facing the pool, the room was old, the painting in need of a refresh. Room order was an other frustrating fact: each time we ordered, we were betting on what item would be missing And every single time, a food item would be missing. The cleaning staff was the greatest, the room was spotless. The food was good, the jerk shack was incredible. The beach area needs to be enlarged and they need to install more shades on the beach. Over all, it is supposed to be a five star hotel and if I were to give a five star, it would be for the staff. The hotel bets on the fact that it was a Ritz before being purchased by the Hyatt conglomerate. The pricing needs to be adjusted to the overall service provided before I recommend this hotel; in other words, lower the price until the hotel has been renovated in its entirety.

Legends Beach Resort: Homey away from home feel

Amazing staff. Huge clean rooms. Unbeatable beach with lots of chairs and umbrellas. Will go back again and again. Close to town walking distance to great beach bars with local musicians galore. Glass bottom boat day trip perfection.

Sandals Jamaica Royal Plantation: Pure Paradise

This colonial, classic style resort offers all you would ever need. It is a luxury resort with all 74 rooms having Butler Service. The food is fantastic and the drinks are ever flowing and top shelf brands. The staff are genuine, happy and attentive to all guests. This is what makes the place a must for couples. Anything you'll ever need is provided here. The beaches are cleaned regularly during the day and there are always loungers to use. It never feels crowded at the beach or in the resta [... read more]urants. Live music is daily in the evening and sometimes mid-day. There is the option to partake in the Sandals activities next door for food or nightlife! This resort is a quieter, boutique style. It has numerous returning guests that make this their second "home". We will be returning!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Excellent resort, food and staff were great

All amenities were great, it would be nice to have access to bottle water on various sections of the resort. Pool activities were second to none, Staff were fantastic and the good was excellent. Overall it was an amazing stay and we would visit this resort again

Breathless Montego Bay: Super-luxe resort

Great resort, great employees, high-end furnishings and super clean but zero nightlife. It recently opened when I visited mid-march. The place was empty. They had an amazing sound system with cool DJs but zero party. That part was a let down for sure. Would have been amazing if it was what they advertised it to be but I guess we went too soon.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Last minute vacation

Everything was wonderful. The grounds are great as long as you choose ocean view. The beach was nice but a bit rocky. The activities staff were wonderful. The weather could have been better. Thanks to Teresa for helping me to plan the trip a day prior to departure. She was extremely helpful!

Dreams Rose Hall: Fantastic resort

This is our third time going to this resort. We love going everytime. The Jamaicans are so welcoming. The food is always fresh. It is a great resort for families. The pools are very inviting since the temperature is not too cold! We also enjoy the shows. If you are looking for a high end resort, this is not the resort for you. The beach is nice but not the best since it has some seaweed.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: OMG!

Grand Palladium's are the best! We've done the one in Mexico and now Jamaica. Both are gorgeous, well maintained and very clean resorts. The staff is friendly, helpful and fun. My favorite acivities we're the reggae and zumba classes especially when Talawah was part of the team. Loved her personality, she was always smiling and laughing. She made my day everyday! Thanks Talawah! I loved the many choices of a la carte restaurants, buffets and bars. The food is delicious and the house wine very [... read more] good. The only recommendations I would make would be to announce the activities over a loud speaker a few minutes before so that we can participate more often, we are relaxing so much that we don't notice the time go by and sometimes miss out on classes. I also appreciated the music playing all the time in the speakers surrounding the pool area but would recommend playing more cultural music rather than american. We want to be submerged in the country we are visiting not only with it's decor but it's music.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great family resort

Great time was had by all myself wife and our two girls 4&8 we had an amazing time. We brought blow up floating water toys and many beach toys shovels and Pails. Up graded to the royal golden, got us a top floor room and bottle of rum free safe for the week, beach towels in our room and 4 dinners at the restaurants. Definitely worth the money, people on lower levels had issues with mosquitoes, we didn't see any. We loved the time on the beach and time at the water park!! Pool was gradual [... read more]ly sloping in the children's area. Resort is getting a little long in the tooth, dress code isn't really enforced. We tipped big and was rewarded for it. If you see keyno in the buffet, ask where he is serving... great service!!

Riu Ocho Rios: Riu Ocho Rios

All amenities were great and consistent with prior visits to the same hotel; we would definitely return; we stayed longer this time so our next trip would probably only be a week; throughout the stay the service and reception were fine other than the Sunwing rep was a little short with us on occasion

Catalonia Montego Bay: Good resort, poor beach

We are beach people so we were not very happy when we saw the beach. Very shallow and when the tide is out full of vegetation. Some snorkelling off the pier with lion fish. Good service and food. Very friendly staff. Our last night a family with a baby moved next door and we were woken up at 3am by her crying. You can hear everything! Also, our room in block 6 was close to the main road and traffic noise was substantial all week. We still had a good time since it was warm and sunn [... read more]y (-20C in Montreal).

Secrets Wild Orchid: First Class Resort!

This resort is exceptionally clean and very well managed. Rooms are luxurious, the several restaurants offer an amazing array of food. The bars are lively, all the staff are friendly, polite and very helpful. The beaches and pools are amazing, spotlessly clean and very well staffed...no waiting around for a cocktail here! I have only positive, 100% complimentary opinions of the whole resort. I felt truly pampered! I'll be back in the Fall!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: 5 Star Flop

In general the resort was big and beautiful! Food was excellent, people we friendly and welcoming. Pool areas were beautiful. However, if you are looking for a 5 star beach, look else where. The beach was disappointing. Chest deep water, at best, with views of rock walls. Another major issue is the health care on resort. God help you if you are seriously injured. One nurse services a resort of nearly 600 rooms. No one except the nurse has band-aids, including the life guards. But the absolute w [... read more]orst part was the check-in... you basically go on a tour of the resort. Not what you feel like doing after travelling 40 hours.

Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall: Worth Every Penny!!

My wife and I truly enjoyed out stay! Though we wished to stay and join another couple friends who were staying on the Adults Only side of this resort, there was no issue moving between the two sides of the resort. The upgrade to CLUB level was worth every penny! The service was outstanding and we felt pampered. They set up our bed with a wonderful Birthday display using flowers and champagne as it was my birthday on the Tues. The staff was very helpful and fun to deal with!!! The food wa [... read more]s fantastic especially the Brazilian and the French. I couldn't get enough of the Jerk Chicken shack!!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Awesome service! Beautiful resort

We just returned from a 1 week stay at the Luxury Bahia Principe in Jamaica and what an awesome experience it was!!! Having stayed at several other resorts in Jamaica including Sandals, I have to say that overall the service is excellent especially at the Jasmin buffet. The service provided there was superior to anything I have experienced in my travels through the Caribbean. We did experience a few of the restaurants and bars where the service wasn't so great but Joseph and the crew at the Jas [... read more]min certainly made up for it. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The beach isn't a great beach to walk but it is amazing all the same.

Secrets Wild Orchid: best resort ive been to

if there was such a thing as a perfect resort for couples...this is definitely it...will absolutely return!! staff was fantastic and always there...drinks were great..food fantastic...no night buffets except for lobster saturday night... all the restaurants were top notch...rooms were great...room service was fast

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Awesome Resort

Loved the layout of the resort/ huts, public areas are kept clean. Staff are friendly, awesome nightly entertainment and variety of food/ different theme every night was great! Disappointment was the beaches/coves, small and rocky- only reason why I wouldn't return to this specific resort.

Beachcomber Club: Mixed feelings

We liked: location - in the middle of the beach and within walking distance of Negril, friendly staff, open air dining area and couches There were a lot of little things that we didn't like: no info given when checking in or posted in the rooms as to meal times, where to find beach towels or how to reserve a beach chair or other facilities available. The bar was quite often out of ice or water so couldn't get drinks. The buffet ran out of food or coffee and we had to wait for it to be refilled. [... read more] The buffet choices were very limited with a repeat menu but tasty. The rooms were a good size and comfortable but in serious need of some upgrading.

Riu Reggae: Great resort!

We stayed at the Riu Reggae the first week of March. I am hard pressed to have anything negative to say about this resort. The food was great, staff were all very attentive and friendly and the rooms were very clean. The animation team goes out of their way to say 'good morning' to everyone each day. I thought this was a nice personal touch. I am a very picky eater and pretty particular about my room when I travel so to have no complaints is saying a lot. We did have a garden view room [... read more] but honestly had no issue with it. You don't go to Jamaica to spend time in your room. When we did use the balcony at the end of the day, it was relaxing to have a peaceful place to sit away from it all. We had a few windy days at the beginning of our trip and the balcony was sunny and protected from the wind. If you leaned over the railing you could even get a small glimpse of the water. I never felt unsafe, security was constantly walking by so no one was going to try and climb the fence. We did not try the gourmet restaurant as the menu did not appeal to us however the other restaurants were great and we never waited long, if at all to get in to them. I liked that you didn't have to wait in line for hours to make reservations like I have at other resorts. You could eat at the a la carte restaurants as frequently as you liked. There was always something going on during the day. This was the first time I was at a resort that had live music during the day and it was fun sitting by the pool and listening to the bands. I would definitely recommend this resort and would go back again.

Sunscape Cove: Amazing resort

Grounds were beautiful People very friendly Food excellent Rooms smalll Water park awesome Long waits for food at specialty restaurants but well worth the wait Beach a little rocky but stil swimable Amazing sunsets Would return to this resort
