Riu Negril: Awesome resort and staff

This property was awesome from the check in , meals , cleanliness , pools ,drinks and best of all was the smiling friendly staff !! The food selection and quality was terrific . The bartenders were never behind as they were very efficient . The grounds keepers worked diligently to keep the walkways and beach immaculate . Each and every staff member were a pleasure to do business with !!

Secrets Wild Orchid: Secerts wild Orchid

We think the hotel was great and the food was even better. The beach was a little small and when they finish the third building this could make the beach very crowded. The people there were the very best.

Riu Reggae: Small Convenient Extremely Clean Resort:)

We stayed at this resort for 2 weeks - Jan. 23 - Feb.6, 2017. We have been travelling to all inclusive resorts for the past 17 years. This resort is extremely close to the airport. First stop on the way in and last stop on the way out which we loved. We did not have to travel for 2 hours on a bus to get to our destination. I'd rather be on the beach than on a bus. It took us 10-15 mins max to arrive and we were greeted with a glass of champagne. There was air traffic above but not enough to  [... read more]bother us. Being a small resort everything was very convenient. The food was delicious and lots of variety. Lots to drink and bartenders always ready to serve not waiting for a tip even though one was provided frequently:) They work hard long hours. There was a busy entertainment side of the beach and a more quiet side but both were in close proximity. Our room was 2129 overlooking the "garden" but actually a mangrove. To me, this was the perfect room as we did have somewhat of an ocean view and no noise from what I consider a very noisy resort because of the small layout. The staff were MORE than wanting to help with anything anytime. My biggest disappointment were the a la carte restaurants???? Where were they??? Only one really the others were buffet service. May as well go to the full-service buffet. Extremely disappointed as I hate buffet service for dinner. I look forward to enjoying a slow quiet relaxing dining experience. You well definitely not find this here. The restaurants are EXTREMELY LOUD and only one has full a la carte service and that restaurant is very noisy as well. The resort is very safe and no hassle from vendors or Jamaicans wanting to sell their goods. This is definitely not a 5 star resort. No top shelf liquors, no beach service, no room service, truly only one a la carte restaurant. I would say this resort is over priced for what we thought is a 5 star all adult resort.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Great resort , very good staff

I thought this was an awesome resort , the staff were very accommodating. Good mix of pools and beaches, restaurants and bars, a nice addition would be a morning coffee station at the Coral pool to service the Lady Hamilton end. Also a place for snacks at the Lady Hamilton end would be a nice addition as well

Mangos Boutique Beach Resort: Mangos Jamaica, Near Falmouth, Jamaica

There is one thing that stood out that I did not like. What you book and pay for is not what they keep for you. We paid for King Ocean Front, but when we got there, all the ocean fronts were Full, We spent 2 days looking at the back of an Ocean Front building. We were not the only ones, any time new people arrived and I was in the Lobby on Internet, I heard lots of tourists complaining they paid for King Ocean Front, and again they were being told the same, all ocean front is full. We arrived [... read more] Monday 30 January, and on Wednesday 1 st Feb I had to ask to speak to a Manager before I was given an ocean front unit, when someone else vacated it - I think this is something that Sunwing should look into obviously someone is overbooking. I think people should be compensated for these issues and it billed back or deducted for funds given to the resort. Its time Sunwing did something about these resorts. This is the 2nd time on Sunwing that this has happened to us over the past few years. However, the resort itself I liked - It was small and quiet which is what we like. The staff were nice and the maids were meticulous when cleaning. The reviews about it being refurbished are not true, The supposed hot tub, has tiles missing where people sit. I would like to hear back from Sunwing on the overbooking issue. I have my 3rd Sunwing Vacation coming up 13 - 20 Feb to Punta Cana at Be Live, where we are going for a wedding.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Fabulous place

We arrived on Saturday Jan 28th to the Luxury Bahia Principe at 1:30pm, 1st impression the resort lobby was beautiful and we were welcomed with a drink. We then proceeded to check in and was told that our room was not yet ready and we could go and have lunch and then return to front desk for the room key. Upon our return from lunch about an hour later we went back to the front desk and again was told our room was not ready and to check back in 15 mins. We sat in the lobby and waited some more [... read more]. Multiple bus loads of people arrived at the resort and we watched as they were escorted to their rooms. Again I went to the front desk and inquired about our room, was told they were checking on it. After 4 hours of sitting and waiting my husband got mad and went to the front desk and expressed his frustrations with the service of checking in. We finally got to our room about 5:30pm. This is the only complaint that we have from the resort. The rest of our vacation was fantastic!! Food was good, accommodation's were beautiful and the dining staff were amazing, helpful and friendly. Have never seen a resort so clean and well maintained as this one!! Would definitely go back again.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Amazing Vacation

We had a wonderful time from the moment we got through customs and on the bus the people were so friendly and welcoming. The Hotel was superb, the food was amazing, the service from the hotel staff exceptional! The pools and beach were wonderful. We went to climb Dunns River on the Catamaran tour WOW! Highly suggest this trip. Best Vacation ever! We will go back again for sure.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Honest review

We just got home from 8 days here. We can honestly say we have nothing but great things to say about our stay. Our room was great, the food was fantastic, the pool and beach were wonderful. And of course the staff here were the greatest! The only thing that could use some work is the way the ALA CARTE dinners are booked. We spoke with several people who were not able to book any. We were able to get 3 at a decent time 6:30, all the rest were 9-930. We didn't mind because the buffet was great, [... read more] but I know for some people this is a problem. We will definitely be returning here in the future, and would recommend it to anyone. We usually prefer a smaller resort but it had everything we needed.

Sandals Jamaica South Coast: SNOOZEFEST never ever again!!!!!!

Thought we would treat ourselves to the "BEST" Sandals ever.....wasted alot of money, since it was Geriatrics, many wheelchairs, scooters and people that may want the slowest Sandals going. Nothing against the elderly, but when BINGO is the highlight of the afternoon at the most exciting pool there, I wanted to run, but no where to go. Lobby has ZERO wine, coffee, water, drinks, let alone a cup to be seen! Room mediocre, without room service or bar. ONE indoor bar "Martini Bar" where four  [... read more]people are falling asleep due to the lack of music or excitement in bar tender. Food ok, but don't go to jerk shack. The jerk shack "soup nazi" will mess it up and demand you sit and wait for your medallion-sized piece of white meat. Dinners closed by 9 pm (everyone's in bed), and common denominator was slow-mode. The good? Grounds beautiful, staff nice, but in Jamaican time to serve you. Spa nice, ladies amazing, tv outtage for two days though. Adrian, the manager, tried to accommodate us, but his hands were tied, as this is a place for my mother. Been to other Sandals, much more exciting. If it wasn't for the high cost, I couldn't complain. We were not alone in our thoughts, after meeting another couple that spent $12000 for ten days and couldn't get out fast enough. Sadly disappointed and yes, it's great for couples who want to snooze, but not for us. And we're not that old!

Riu Ocho Rios: Absolutely amazing trip!

I loved everything about this place. Super clean, food was great, service was excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone. It was also extremely clean. Did not have a single issue at the resort.

Catalonia Montego Bay: Okay Resort

This was so post to be a 4 Star Hotel, but to be fair it is a 2 Star Hotel, it is a dated Hotel, we were surprised that they did not have an Expresso Bar. The a la cart restaurant offerd very good meals some of the Staff were not friendly until they see the Dollars.

Sunscape Splash: sunscape splash

excellent family resort, amazing kids club. great food. we had no hot water but quickly got upgraded to an ocean view at no extra expense. The place is wonderful no one bothers you on the beach. The beach is a little rocky and lots of sea weed. great selections of pools for all different ages. extremely clean and friendly place to stay

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Very nice resort

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Entertainment, food, service, beach and pool very nice. Only two issues I had was we were in block 15 and it was very noisy as we were close to the entertainment. So if you are earlier to go to bed then ask for a quieter block away from the entertainment. Also, the heavy wood doors were always being slammed by the guests. It was very loud and would wake anyone up. Not sure what could be done about that though. Secondly some sections of the pool have no st [... read more]airs or ladder. I had no problem getting out but many women with a little extra weight on could not get out.

Riu Negril: All round awsome resort!

Great holiday, food was top notch, lots to choose from, Jamaican, Canadian desserts of all varieties, coffee was amazing. Service & staff friendly, servers always available. Rooms clean & comfortable bed with change up daily. Pool & grounds very clean, always cleaning around pool & grounds. Great all inclusive holiday, my second time back & will return with out any doubt.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Fabulous Resort!

Very well kept hotel and grounds, fabulous food but most of all friendly, very accommodating staff. Lots of activities for people of all ages. I highly recommend Iberostar Rose Hall Beach and plan to go back again.

Shaw Park: Peaceful!

Resort was quiet and well maintained and clean. Was suppose to be buffet for meals but mostly we were served from a menu which was fine as they offered enough choices, I'm sure if there was nothing we liked they would have accommodated us :) . People from cruise ships came, but they kept to another part of beach and they fed them different than us and then they were gone in a couple hours tops! Beach was private, beautiful and clean! The only downfall for us really was the 2&1/2 hour bus ride! S [... read more]taff were all great! Would go again👣👍💕

Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall: Simply amazing

This hotel changed my entire perspective on all inclusive resorts. In the past I've had many poor experiences and prefer a higher end experience. The Hyatt all inclusive was wonderful. It had many restaurant options and the staff always went over and above to make sure we were happy. My wife has a gluten food allergy and they were very accommodating. I can't wait to go back!!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: We will return next year to the Luxury Bahia Príncipe Runaway Bay, Jamaica.

This is by far a luxury resort. Our room had everything we could hope for. We had no issues with anything at this resort. The food was better than any other resort we have been to. There is such a variety of food- something for everyone. People go out of their way to make sure you are happy. The entire place is clean and tidy- inside and outside. It looks exactly like the photos you see on the Internet. I like the fact that they speak English and any employee will stop and visit with you. Next y [... read more]ear we will be staying for 2 weeks. This is number 1 on my list of places to return to.

Riu Reggae: Alright Resort

I've been traveling to Jamaica for 19 yrs now, This resort is not a 5 star resort. We were given a new room because phone was not working only to get in new room and have same issues. No reservations for restaurants was not a good idea, we were unable to try the restaurants. People were friendly, which is a normal thing for Jamaica. Would not return to this resort in the future.

Sandals Jamaica South Coast: Wonderful visit - but?

We have just returned from a week at Sandals South Coat (Whitehouse). We had a fabulous week - unfortunately with a couple of reservations. The good - the weather, the setting, the grounds, the sand, cleanliness and wonderful staff (mostly). We were in the French village with a walkout room which was some distance from everything except Schooners. The room wasn't updated but was clean and had a very very large comfortable bed. We ate in all restaurants except two and food was great except for a [... read more] couple of hiccups. Our best memories - Cobb salad and Jamaican pattie for lunch at Schooners, drinks before and after dinner at bar outside Neptunes, wonderful pastries at about 4 pm at Café Paris, breakfast at Bayside with baked beans, sailing catamaran in the bay. There were many other fabulous memories. Unfortunately the bad The trip to and from airport was taxing- even though we had a limo on the way. Every morning we were awoken by lifeguard turning on music very very loud at pool and he would make these silly bird sounds. Same lifeguard would hassle us to fold umbrella while we were still using it late afternoon. One afternoon a group put on ACDC at the pool so loud you couldn't think - but nobody did anything and we all packed up and left the area. Clean towels would arrive at various times and butlers would reserve all the best lounger locations in spite of that not being allowed. Eleanors - service was disgusting. Waitresses on night we went there were outside dancing to Country singer. Next morning for breakfast the same women were waitressing. Three times we asked for coffee and mamosas with no result so we left and went to Bayside buffet. I felt that paying for Sandals meant I could enjoy a breakfast away from a usual buffet - not so. We went to buffet for rest of stay and it was great. Twice we had to wait for a table in restaurants even though some tables were empty because they were reserved by butlers with flowers. This made us feel like second class interlopers and upset our experience at each instance. Pasta in Italian restaurant was dreadful as was Tuna steak in Neptunes. Lastly - for 2 days in Italian village jack hammers were breaking concrete - if I had paid extra to stay there I would not have been happy - and for 4 days at French village beach there was concrete mixer and tractor running back and fore along beach. This was being done to improve "my experience" apparently. They are building "over the water bungalows" which will ruin the beach view for those in cattle class like us. I don't think I may visit again. Incidentally we took a trip to Sandals Negril which left me feeling happy to be at South Coast and I will not visit. Below it asks would I recommend - not sure - but not worth the extra $1000 each we have paid above other places we have been.
