Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: The good and bad

We went to this resort with 19 people and had a great time. The pool area was great jerk chicken fabulous, lots of pool chairs, and we had no issues with power outages while we were there. This hotel is not rated properly and I would consider it to be no more than a 3 star hotel for the following reasons: the hallway carpets are extremely dirty and need to be replaced, the a la carte restaurants are fully booked at at all times and you cannot make reservations in advance for a large group ce [... read more]lebrating a special event (not even for 1 night), the beach is rocky and small, rooms were often not made up and typical services (towels) had to be asked for repeatedly.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great resort!

The grounds were kept neat and tidy. The rooms were always clean and large. Lots of room for a king size bed , a desk area with a couch, and a beautiful view on the balcony. They are working on changing the carpet in the hallways. They need it. And I find that there is a charge for the room safe. I did not like that part of my stay. I think the safe should be included. Other than that we had a really good time and all of the staff were friendly.

Rooms on the Beach Negril: ROOMS NEGRIL

This is the second time we stayed at this hotel and loved everything about it. It is in the middle of 7 mile beach with lots of great entertainment and food choices all around you. The staff at Rooms are all very happy to help you with whatever you need. Highly recommend this hotel!

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Beautiful resort

The resort is beautiful and clean. Friendly staff. Lots of restaurants and plenty of space at the beach and pool areas. Rooms were very clean but the bathroom was not the best. Steak and itialioam restaurants are very good but hard to get into as you cannot make reservations. I advise to get there when they open. I would definitely come back to this resort.

Riu Reggae: Not a 5 star

Our first time in Jamaica AND first time to stay at Riu. Check-in was okay, staff's friendly, they checked us on the ground floor and when I mentioned that we requested a second floor room, they were pleasantly accomodating, though we had to wait the next day to be moved. The room was fine, not what we're used to for a 5 star accommodations. The floor by the sink got flooded every time, we showered, looked like the caulking not done properly. We're not much into alcoholic beverages so we'd rat [... read more]her have a coffemaker than a bar in the room. Whenever we go away, watching tv is not really a big deal, but it's nice to have while relaxing and waiting for dinner time, so when we turned on the tv, the reception was poor, so we asked for assistance but no one showed up. We didn't ask again as we didn't want to impose. The hotel grounds in general is fine, considering it's newly opened. Beach was okay, though I stepped on mud patches, heard it was a reclaimed beach. Lots of loungers, no complaints on that. Pools always crowded, which was not a concern to me as I prefer the beach. Buffett restaurant was okay, though we're quite disappointed to the lack of seafood choices, we're in the Caribbean after all. Some fruits served we're not ripe, pineapples we're pale, hard and tasteless, same with soursop. Went to the specialty restaurants and they were disappointing as well. Being familiar to different cuisines here in the GTA, I find their food pretentious. Also, every time I asked for a rosé with my dinner, I was told either they don't serve it or they ran out. At Kulinarium, I was told they don't serve it but then I saw a guy with a glass, and pointed it out, to my surprise, I saw bottles being chilled in the stands. Being non-white, am I being discriminated? The jerk chicken from the hut was great compared to the buffett restaurant's. Watch out for the bartenders, they don't put all the ingredients that's on the cocktail menu. We had the misfortune of using their medical services but we were treated very well by the crew involved. One thing for sure, the Jamaican people that we encountered on this vacation were wonderful! We will definitely go back to Jamaica, though we'll stay somewhere else. Over all, I rate this hotel 3 stars, the staff get 5 stars. I'd recommend other places before this hotel.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Iberostar Rose Hall Suites

The Hotel was amazing.... the staff were very friendly, and so accommodating. They did anything to help make our stay the best. The hotel was very clean and spotless The food was amazing anything from the sit down restaurants to the buffets it had something for everyone. The hotel was child friendly. The only thing is that the evening shows were way too late at 9:30pm The children shows were from 8:30-9:30 they should change the time for the children shows from 08:00-8:45 pm then the [... read more] adult show after a long day we did not stay up to see any evening shows way too late The only things I need to share as a complaint are the following: The main pool the tiles in the water are damaged in many spots through out the pool and my son cut his foot quit badly. With the hotel being so nicely up kept I was shocked to see that they would allow the pool tiles to be damaged and not fix it. Also the other complaint was that the coffee at the hotel was terrible. They did not have cream for the coffee so I went without coffee for a week.

Couples Negril: Wonderful Place!

This resort is excellent great food, fantastic service and most of all one of the finest beaches anywhere. Grounds are well kept, the resort is easy to get around but most of all very accommodating staff.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Iberostar Grand Rose Hall

We recently stayed at this Resorted Dec 2016, we loved everything about it. The rooms were clean, the food was good, the Pools and beach was lovely too also the staff was very friendly and made your stay exciting. I would definitely go back.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Awesome resort

Only changes required more staff for drinks and upgrade in bathrooms ... not enough bars open line ups long for food and drinks... hotel was nice bathrooms need renovations as they are older and new mattress

Riu Reggae: Not for us!

Very disappointing stay. Other than a staff who do their very best we left wondering why RIU even bothered to build this resort. Such a small footprint there is no room to get away from the loud noise-- music, people, airplanes-- other than going to your room. Beach is tiny, water murky, sand everywhere,no shade, crowded loungers. Went for breakfast and headed for the RIU Montego Bay 5 minute walk to spend the day. Wish we had waited for reviews and would have known beforehand.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Amazing resort

The Iberostar Rose Hall suites Amazing place to stay. Booked with Sunwing The hotel was very clean, the staff were very friendly, the food was very good. I would definitely go back to Montego Bay Jamaica and definitely stay at the same resort IBEROSTAR ROSE HALL SUITES.

Secrets St James: Secret's St James

Surprised at the mini bar, only had a few beers, pop and water. Mini bar wasn't working (warm) and no bathrobes in the room. Called the front and they put in new fridge. Had to talk to the cleaning lady to get bathrobes.They tried a hard aggressive sell on packages for other resorts. There was 15 of us and we felt a little rushed at some restaurants even though they were half empty. Sent food back a couple of times to be warmed up.The bartenders at the pool bars were excellent.

Sandals South Coast: Sandals South Coast Vacation in Paradise

This resort is the nicest we have ever visited. The grounds are beautiful, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The resort accommodations are labelled in three Villages - Italian, Dutch and French. Each block of accommodations has their own pool and beachfront access. The food is amazing and the nicest part about dining in the speciality restaurants is no reservations required. The resort was full when we were there but it never seemed crowded. We loved that. This would be an awesome r [... read more]esort for a wedding in the new wedding chapel with the glass bottom floor over the water. We will definitely go back.

Riu Ocho Rios: Good time

Everything good. Staff very good. It would be even better if you could go to the a la carte restaurants without waiting in line, but no a big deal since the buffet food was good. I found the flooring very slippery so I walked carefully. A piano bar would be a nice addition. Some of the evening performance was very good.

Fun Holiday Beach Resort: Awesome resort

Although this resort is a little dated, the staff are absolutely amazing. They do everything they can to make sure that you are enjoying your vacation. We arrived before check in time and they accommodate us right away. The food was very good for such a small resort. It is an all inclusive resort and if you are hungry between meal times you can order from the menu (at no extra cost!). Security was excellent. They had entertainment most of the nights which I thought was great considering i [... read more]t is a small resort. I would definitely return to this resort.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Overall, Great Experience!

We arrived at the hotel at 10:30 pm, the hotel had just experienced a massive storm. Our acceptance was welcoming however they were experiencing issues with food at that time because they had had no power all day. We arrived at our room which was delightful, beautiful view, very clean large king size bed, absolutely no complaints there. We had 2 al a cart dinners which were both outstanding at the Don Pablo and Mikado. And the buffet everyday was consistently changing the options and pro [... read more]viding excellent meals. The beaches and pools are stunning, beautiful sands and lots of space. While there were many weddings going on this week there was always a chair by the pool or beach and you never felt the need to have to try to reserve a space. We attended with a group of about 54 people and nevery struggled to sit with a large group by the pool or beach. The hotel did have some issues as a result of the storm just prior to our arrival with rolling blackouts and water loss perodically throughout the entirety of our trip. With this being said we feel they made the best of it and did all they could to ensure we still had a good time. We ate a candlelit dinner at the buffet one night as a result of the power loss, but they always had food available. We also experienced loss of ac when the power was out but it was never uncomfortable. We had a wondeful time at this resort attending our friends beautiful wedding. While there were some hiccups along the way it was overall a great experience.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Grand Bahia Principe Jamaica

Nice staff and grounds, beautiful pool and nice restaurants. Bad experience overall due to frequent power outages causing no a/c , no water for shower or toilet. Also no windsurfing equipment available.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: We were ripped off!

We paid for an all inclusive trip but we didn't get that. The power was out all week from Saturday Dec 3 when we arrived right up until the last day Dec 10 when we left. Water wouldn't turn on, toilets wouldn't flush, couldn't take the elevator and he stairs were death traps at night as they were pitch black. No I wouldn't recommend this resort to my worst enemy. Oh ya and a security guard called me a piece of shit and pulled his baton on me for fishing in the ocean.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great Time

The resort was dated and the power outages/no water for a few days was super inconvenient and irritating. Not impressed with that but the sun was shining and the drinks were cold, which made for a great week.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: amaising

I like the quality of the rooms, restorants,,bars, beaches. Only one suggestion. The deserts were not good. You need to offer fresh skuise juices at one of the bars all the time. Children and healthy eating people like me are used to do this in our dayly breakfast . You need to have honey too available for breakfast. Rest was grest I am happy with the gym.quite beaches.
