Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Good Times in Jamaica

This was our mother & daughter trip we both enjoyed in early June 2015. As my daughter is away in universtiy and working all summer, this was our way to relax and reconnect. The weather was sunny, no crowds in June so there were no line-ups or mad rush to "reserve" a spot by the pool or the beach. The beach had white sand, with a very gentle slope, there were plenty of shade/trees which was nice to get repreive from the sun. This hotel has 5 floors, we were on the 4th with the view of the pool a [... read more]nd beach. The resort was clean, the food was good, the drinks were refreshing, the staff were friendly. Our tripcentral agent Nicole helped us to ultimetly decide on this resort, and we were very pleased. I would recommend it for anyone who needs to get away and relax Jamaican style.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Second time there!

Hotel has not changed physically over the past two years. Was disappointed as when we arrived we thought we had the same package and inclusions as our last trip but came to find out that was not the case. Had to pay to upgrade to our desired package upon arrival. Food was okay but feel like it may be slipping a bit. Wether once again in Jamaica was phenomenal and if you do go you must go to the luxury adult only as it is really te only way to enjoy the resort to its fullest.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Unbelievable Service, Food & Amenities!!

Loved this place, service was absolutely incredible and we felt like Royalty our entire stay. Food was AMAZING - though our favourite was probably a tie between the Surf & Turf and Japanese A-La-Cartes. Beach was ok but pools made up for anything lacking in the sand department. We will be back!

Jewel Runaway Bay Resort: Amazing Resort!! Planning our trip for next April

We stayed at the Jewel Runaway Bay from May 4-11, 2015. We had the most amazing trip. My second trip to Jamaica and my husbands first and we are planning on going back next April. The rooms are spotless, the food is amazing, the staff are out of this world friendly. We were in building 3 facing the back of the resort. It was an ok but next time Id want to be facing the resort or pool view to be closer to the action and music. It would be a perfect room for those who go to bed early. We met a lot [... read more] of very nice people and long life friends. We went to every restaurant and tested every bar and grill. All were fantastic. We had 8 days of 31+ weather with no rain, lots of wind but not a drop of rain. I can deal with the wind. We stayed by the infinity pool every day and ventured over to the big pool once in a while. The beach was an arms length away from the infinity pool and one of the nicest, cleanest water I've seen. Very windy most days but calmed down in the evening. There were tons of empty chairs everywhere, every day. Go to the managers party and go talk to Scott. He doesn't seem to be approachable when you stand back but looks are deceiving. He is very friendly and takes pride in his job and the resort is improving daily. If you have a problem, (which we didn't) they fix it asap. You can tell he really cares about this resort and hopefully he treats his staff great. They seem to really like him. We went to the water park daily. Our favorite day was when the locals came in on the weekend and we got to enjoy their company and had a lot of fun on the lazy river with the little kids. We went down the slide where both of us could get on the tube, we had a blast. Most days we just went on the lazy river and relaxed. There is something for ages 0 to 95 at the water park. It's truly built with all ages in mind. We went on vacation with relaxation on our minds after the terrible NS winter and that's exactly what we did. Bugsy (cabby) took us to Ocho rios for a 5 hour trip for $80 American. On our way back we had lunch at margaritaville, met Birdman where he made us birds out of palm leaves and told us jokes. This was the only excursion we went on. So if you're looking for a small, close to everything, 4+ resort with friendly staff and very family oriented in every way. This is the place for you. So don't sweat the small stuff and just relax and enjoy. Because we apologized to the staff for the actions of some guests who we didn't even know, as they were just down right rude and there was really no need to be. The staff just smiled and said thank you.

Jewel Runaway Bay Resort: Fantastic Resort

The resort was well laid out and accessible to everything in a 5 minute walk. The staff is amazing and very welcoming. If you happen to bring your kids along, then they will be in great hands in the kids club and will be entertained all hours of the day. The food was great at most restuarants and worth a try. The beach was out of this world with a coral reef accessible to do snorkeling right there. The water park was awesome and again if kids are with you, they will be entertained for hours. We  [... read more]didn't have any issues and will definitely be back again. Shout out to Garnet and the ladies of the kids club. This was a fantastic trip. Thank you Jewel.

Couples Negril: Top Notch

This is probably the best resort ever, and we have stayed at many over the years. The staff are superb, cannot do enough to help. The rooms are clean, and well laid out. The ambiance is very good, due to the excellent condition of the facility, and the plentiful supply of towels for the beach and room. This is enough to mitigate the horrible experience with Air Canada Rouge, arguably the worlds worst.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great Resort

Overall the Gran Bahia Principe was a great place to vacation with the Family. Food and People there are amazing. Rooms are very clean but in need of some updating. The Grill and The Mikado are very good restaurants, the Italian which I was looking forward to the most was not good I would pick another one over this. Overall great first trip Jamaica and I would go back to this resort again.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Iberostar Suites is the spot!

Rooms are nice an modern. Amazing and friendly staff. Food is Top notch! Can't get enough of it. 24 hr room service to boot :) The staff get you what you need, when you need it. The grounds are always immaculate, and the staff treat you like friends and family. Tipping is not required, but come on the average jamaican makes $20-30 USD. The beach boys in the evening are cool, talk to them nicely and theyll be nice back, don't be afraid of them. They have cool things.

Sandals Jamaica Montego Bay: Perfect size for quick getaway

Great resort. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Great beach. Lots to do or plenty of places to relax. Sandals never disappoints. Close to the airport which was just what we needed for a quick getaway!!!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Good trip

If you don't mind walking aprox. 10 mins to the nicer beach area, then this place is for you. The food was great, service is great. The liquor is watered down, with no blenders for the bartenders to make specialized drinks. Internet is slow with 1 hour of free service per day.

Riu Ocho Rios: awesome trip

Great place to stay. Food was good and a plenty all hours of the day and night. Beer could have been colder good variety of girly drinks that were cold and slushy. Alacart was very good. Highly recommended resort. Would definitely go back.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Fantastic Resort

This is an amazing hotel Very friendly staff, the food was great, there were a lot of choices. The A'lactate has a very nice ambiance. The entertainment was good I enjoyed every minute of it. The ground is beautiful and the welcome on arrival was special. My only negative review is on housekeeping. One say we had no change of towels, the next say no face cloth or shower gel. It was constant calling down for housekeeping to get it right. other than that beautiful resort. I am already recommending [... read more] it to my friends The

Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: Loved it , would return :)

Was my first time in Jamaica,,, traveled with my boyfriend. We found this resort just stunning , the grounds are well maintained with flush vegetation, the entrance is welcoming, the staff is always ready to assist you and very friendly. Right at the minute you arrive to the hotel you feel like home. It used to be a Sandals and they have maintained the same level of service. the beach a bit small, but private and still enough space,,, no fighting for a cushion chair. always available. the pool s [... read more]tunning,, you can even swim at night, the food was delicious, nooooo complaint about Jamaican food ,,, Entertainment was not heavy,,, giving time to relax and enjoy a drink along the beach at night.. But they did organized some events which was fun . thinking of returning in November :)

Riu Ocho Rios: Amazing resort !

Over all the best resort Ive been to so far. Could not ask for any better with food, cleanliness and staff. Beach and pool areas were clean and well organized with activities for all ages, Nightly enteryainment was also fantastic !

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great Value

This was our 2nd visit to this resort in a year. Overall it was a fantastic trip. The resort is huge but well laid out and easy to get around. It was very clean and well maintained although starting to look a big worn in spots. The food was great with lots of selections at the buffets. We really enjoyed the smaller adults only Palmyra buffet for breakfast every morning. The beach restaurant was also awesome with the best jerk chicken I've ever had. For the a la cartes we chose the Grill, Mikado  [... read more](show table) and the Don Pablo. We loved all of them and actually cancelled our reservation at the Picasso so we could go back to the Don Pablo!! The pool is huge and very clean. There are lots of shade palapas but we still had go down every morning before 7 to reserve one with our towels otherwise the only loungers available were in the sun. The portion of the pool closest to the lobby was party/play central with lots of activities and music. Closer to the other end is much quieter and faster service at the pool bar. The beach was great, we went as far as you could go as it was the quietest with a bar and bathroom nearby. We only went to 1 show at the square (they have one every night at 9:45). It was a bit cheesy but entertaining. Missed the Michael Jackson show on Sunday but heard it was great. No problems with maid service or lack of clean towels....all was good there. Asked at the lobby that they replace our clock because it kept losing time but nobody ever came. Also had a call one morning offering us breakfast in bed because "we were special" so we ordered and were told it would be there shortly. 90 min later nothing so we called room service and they had no idea what we were talking about. Frustrated and hungry we went to the buffet! Service for the most part was just alright. Not a true 5 star in that capacity, just too slow (even for Jamaica) and unreliable. The staff was quite friendly though and we always felt welcomed. Overall it's a great value for the money spent. We will return again someday I'm sure but not for few years because there are other resorts we want to try out.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Not a Five Star

The food was not the greatest seem to be left overs from the day or two before, the room was not what we booked but did move us the next day, room looked slapped together, tv some time works, overall not great

Jewel Runaway Bay Resort: Perfect!

The entire resort was awesome. Beautiful beach, great water park, immaculate grounds and fantastic food!! The rooms were big enough for the 4 of us and had a large balcony with furniture. Pools were fabulous and never crowded. A perfect vacation:)

Secrets St James: Beautiful resort!

Everything at secrets St James was amazing! The food was exceptional and service was better than I have experienced at other resorts. All the employees go out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. A big thanks to Marvin the bartender, he was so nice and friendly and every night made me a special desert drink which was so tasty!! The grounds were kept beautiful and people there worked very hard. I can't wait to go back! Thank you for making this a fantastic vacation!!
