Couples Tower Isle: Absolutely perfect

We loved that it was a small resort, just steps to everything you need. The staff here were outstanding! It was an Anniversary, 50th Birthday vacation and it couldn't have been better! The food at all of the restaurants was wonderful, but the private dinner on the island was the best! (Bayside was nice location but the food could have been hotter, very tasty otherwise)

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: AMAZING RESORT

This was one of the best hotels I ever stayed at .Everything was excellent from staff ,food and accommodations...I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel...Thanks trip central ...

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Very good but one major dissapointment

No real surprises. It was consistent with all reviews we had seen before. The facility was great, the beach was fine, the food was, in fact, very good and the staff were very friendly. Generally what we have come to expect with Iberostar. We were celebrating a big event in our lives and we were visiting an Iberostar resort for the seventh time...we are loyal Iberostar clients! But the disappointment to us was that the cold and aloof staff at the front desk gave us one of the worst room locati [... read more]ons in the resort. When we asked to have a room that we had requested, we were given another poor location, just marginally better. The next day we went to our booking rep (to avoid the front desk staff) to make a complaint and later got a much better room but still not what we requested. We find it odd that this resort doesn't take better care of their returning guests when other Iberostar resorts have worked so hard to impress us with their service. Will we stay at Iberostar next time? I'm not so sure.

Sunscape Splash: Amazing, Fun Filled, Great Food

The hotel is clean and the staff go beyond to make you happy. The ocean is right there, within a few feet of where you can sit and have supper with candles and lights. Hearing the waves rush in. Was amazing. I think some of the friendliness staff i have meet, i travel at least three times a year. The shows are great. The disco,,, yea man. The drinks even better. I have only ever been to Jamaica once. I will be back and back to that resort. Totally pleased with everything about it. Than [... read more]k you.....

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: It was an amazing resort

Grounds were immaculate, food was great and abundant, so were the drinks. Staff were friendly and always helpful. We have no complaints whatsoever. We would def like to visit again very soon and will recommend to family and friends.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Such a great vacation

The resort was awesome, very clean, well maintained. Nice pools; cool water slides, and lazy river :) Childrens play area had fun water features and water slides. Staff were amazing, so polite, happy, pleased to serve you. Our room service was excellent. Food was very good all in all, service at the steak house was very slow - only drawback. We had a couple of excursions, half day to Dunn's Falls - great experience, highly recommend. Also did luminous lagoon - very entertaining and fun evening.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Not the Royalton 5 star Experience I expected!

I have travelled extensively throughout the Caribbean and Mexico and stayed in many 4 and 4+ star resorts. I was somewhat disappointed with this 5 star resort. Upon arrival at the hotel I was informed that my room would not be ready until 5:30 p.m. My understanding was that check in was 3:00 p.m. I was given a room on the 3rd floor overlooking a massive flat roof at the front of building overlooking the street and noise of the locals. It made it very difficult to catch a nap late afternoon. I ha [... read more]d paid extra for a single supplement and was somewhat disappointed with the size of my room (1 double bed) and the lack of amenities (no full length mirror). I felt like I had booked a "super saver" room. I complained to the front desk and requested another room. They told me they could not accomodate me until the next day at 2:00 p.m. The following day they gave me another room on the 7th floor with the same view, however this time I had a King Size Bed, but still no mirror. I was shocked at the size of the shower and how a larger person would ever fit inside. Other people I was travelling with had rooms that were larger. I felt like I was given a smaller room because I was travelling on my own. On a positive note, the bed was extremely comfortable, well maintained and the lighting in the bathroom was awesome. I found the food throughout the resort, at both the buffet and the a la cartes extremely good, along with the Jerk Chicken served on the beach. I found the service at both the restaurants and bars very good. I did tip for the good service and it definitely did not go unnoticed by the staff. They had 1 hottub, however the jets did not work my entire stay. There was also high pressure spouts at the infinity pool which did not work the entire stay. I inquired about the hydrotherapy at the spa and was informed it also wasn't working. They did offer different nightly entertainment such as a Michael Jackson Show, tribute to Bob Marley (a live Reggae band), acrobatic performer, synchronized swimming, along with an outdoor buffet. The only down side to the entertainment was the courtyard location where the shows took place and lack of seating. In summary, I did not feel that the Royalton White Sands was superior to any of the 4 star resorts I have stayed at previously, and yet was the most expensive resort.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Just ok.

We had trouble checking in with the resort, even though we were part of a wedding group that had been booked for months & months in advance. My fiance and I did not get the king bed we requested. We were told they didn't have any room for us and for another guest of the party when we arrived. We waited approximately 20 minutes and were given a room with a twin bed and a double bed, which was dirty. The tv was left on, the bathroom was dirty, and the bed sheets had sand in them. I can only imagin [... read more]e someone checked out and they stuck us right in the room without properly cleaning it. The other guest without a room had to wait an hour before they found a spot for him. They told us to come down the following morning before breakfast for another room. Nobody came to clean the room. The mini fridge was empty. We asked three separate times to have water, it was not brought for over three hours. We had to sleep on top of the covers & sheets because our bed was dirty the first night. We came down the following morning and were told we should come back at noon. Fine. We come back at noon with our packed luggage (as they requested) and we were told to wait again until 2pm, and to leave our luggage in the lobby. The front desk staff was rude when we expressed our frustration with the process. Not helpful at all. I won't even get into the trouble the bride had on her special day, as I'm sure she wants to write her own review, but for the amount of money you spend to ensure you have a special day - I can say with certainty I would not recommend this resort to anyone for their wedding day. The resort itself is small, but beautiful. The resort is very modern and well decorated and clean. The bartending staff is great - they are friendly and prompt. The chefs are great too. The buffet service is very slow, there were times where we were not served drinks at all or given napkins/proper cutlery. Room service was pretty bad too, it would not come for 1.5-2 hours and they were always out of more than half the menu. There were times there was no hot water and the wifi was not working. All in & all, I would not return to this resort. There are many other places in Jamaica to travel to and I would suggest trying another spot.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: just okay

Rooms were fine. Pool bar amazing service thanks too simone and Alexis .the sports bar was great food. Buffets had a very minimal selection if you arent a fan of meat. Restaurants you should definitely reserve or you will be waiting a very long time. Not senior friendky at all. The grounds need more people picking up debris. The gardeners will approach you along with other staff to try and sell you dope.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Royalton white sands

The overall look of the Hotel is nice, clean and inviting as you drive up. The beach is nice but small on the White Sands side. You can't walk very far without being asked to buy smoke or souvenirs. Rooms were clean but our Room had a single adjoined door that you can hear conversations through...not very private. We had hot water all week and the rain shower is great although it would have been nice to have a bathtub as well. No 24hr restaurant or bar other than room service. We were told b [... read more]y many in our party it was an 1-1/2 to 2hr wait so we did not use this service. Food at the buffet...most food was cool or room temp unless you waited in line for the freshly grilled or sautéed pasta or meats. We did have a good time with our friends and enjoyed most of our stay. But Overall disappointed that it does not live up to the Royalton standards or it's five star rating.

Couples Sans Souci: 8 out of 10

We have been to about 20 resorts in the past 10 years and I would say this one rates an 8/10. It is a smaller resort - which was nice. They only have (3) restaurants but ever single meal was great! And nicely presented as well. We were a little disappointed when we first arrived and were taken to our room. We had specifically paid a higher amount to have a 1 bedroom beachfront. It was not a 1 bedroom. It was just a regular hotel room with the bed in the middle with the couch, TV etc. i.e.  [... read more]no separate bedroom. Also, it wasn't right on the beach - there were buildings between us and the actual beach. So we did complain and they did help us the next day by moving us to a 1 bedroom ocean view room, which was just fine. apparently this was a "downgrade" so they did credit our credit card back the difference. We do feel that the entertainment was lacking though. We have been to several places that have dance performances, bands, acrobats etc. This one just had a couple of singing entertainers. I would suggest you take ear plugs though, as once the sun goes down the frogs come out to play and man are they loud! All the staff were very attentive as well. As it was my husband's 50th birthday I did splurge and spend about $2000 over and above what we normally pay for an all inclusive for 2 people for 2 weeks and I can't really say it was worth that.

Couples Tower Isle: Couples Tower Isle, Jamaica

This resort was 5 star service was above and beyond very friendly and always asking if everything is ok. The food was excellent with a wide variety with something different everyday. Free room service was fast and efficient. Beach party was free of charge with buffet dinner on the beach with fabulous entertainment every night. Would diffently recommend this resort.

Sandals South Coast: Stunning resort!

We really loved this resort from the moment we arrived we were very well taken care of. We splurged and got the club level room and I do recommend it not only to have beverages in the room but they will take care of everything for you. It was our first all inclusive experience and we were very satisfied. The ride to and from the resort to the airport was not too pleasant but the hotel was worth it! Our room was very nice however we did not spend a lot of time in there. We are not huge ocean peo [... read more]ple but if we were we would have been disappointed. There was a ton of seaweed and the water was very calm so there was no playing in the waves and we could not even hear the ocean from our oceanfront room. I did miss that while falling asleep at night. Staff was very nice and food was very good. We did not have to wait in any long lineups at any restaurant. We always found a spot at the pool but people would be up very early setting things on seats to reserve them so sometimes we did not get a first choice of where to sit. All in all it was an amazing experience and we canot wait until we come back "home."

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Simply amazing

Well first of all we where greeted by a most amazing butler, Sheron. She gave us a tour of the grounds, introduced us to the staff and treated us like royalty during our whole stay. Now we are privilege members with the Grand Bahia and this trip was booked without our privilege status and we where treated better than a privilege member. Simply awsome vacation.

Riu Reggae: Work to be done still

This hotel is in its early stages....They need to address the lack of seating @ the a la carts, first & foremost, in addition to the inability to walk the beach @ the Riu Palace in order to get over to the Riu Mo Bay. The entertainment was sketchy, with decent shows 3 out of the 7 nights. We had a great time as we were on vacation, but we've been to Jamaica multiple times and expected more from Riu as we are a fan & repeat customers of the chain. Issues with room (no water), were addresse [... read more]d with an upgrade, (thank you), staff were wonderful, managers obviously had their hands full as construction was still been completed. Food was hit & miss, and waiters need to be trained on how to address customers with food allergies, as there were limited options in some of the a la carts, to the point where we had to eat @ the buffet (salad / apps) prior to going to dinner. Chefs need to be a little flexible and sensitive..... There is NOTHING Jamaican about the Riu Reggae, the Ikea furniture and prints throughout the hotel where not for us....

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great time!!

We stayed November 19-26 in block 18 on the 3rd floor. The rooms were excellent and very clean. Food was great and plenty of options. Although we got stuck with clouds and rain all week we still had an amazing time and would highly recommend this resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Nice Resort

Great room, nice people, good food. Very clean. Need more al a carte restaurants as they were booked every night. Lobby bar needs to be expanded to accommodate servers. Sharon the butler went above and beyond her duties.

Riu Reggae: Open too soon

I think that this resort was not ready and opened too soon. Many of the problems were a direct result of not having enough time to finish the details. Small things that in total resulted in a forgettable experience.

Sandals Ochi Beach Resort: Very nice resort

Pros: Well kept grounds, beautiful landscaping, great hotel room, comfortable bed with good quality linens. Many restaurants to pick for both buffet or a la carte dining. Cons: We stayed at the great house and we had to get the 'HOP' - the bus to go to the seaside. The buses would come every 10 minutes, no waiting time involved...but it would have been nice to just take a walk to the beach rather than bussing.

Fun Holiday Beach Resort: Great value resort

First, the staff at Fun Holiday make a tremendous effort to please their guests. The location is 4 star right on the beach which is great for swimming or boating. There are also lots of places to check out along the beach. Food is good for a three star hotel. Rooms are ok but could do with some sound dampening décor to reduce room to room noise. Especially where two room are joined by a door.
