Hedonism II: Most exciting holiday without leaving the resort

We had the most amazing time from every aspect Hedo has to offer. The food was amazing, drinks superb, loved the water sport, pool, gardens, beach, rooms, and the wild side. The entertainment staff are the best, and 99 percent of the guest are friendly

Couples Swept Away: Three times a charm !

This year was our third time at Swepr Away...our first 10-day stay......maybe 14 next year. The beach is great but the staff is fantastic !!! The most priceless experience was that dinner on the beach although it does come at a price !!!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing resort

The resort was beautiful. It was very clean and the staff was very friendly. We'd go again in a heartbeat. We both enjoyed the food very much. The beach was amazing. We were able to walk out a couple hundred yards and enjoy a sunset in the ocean.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Good

It's was good the maid was awesome! But the fact that I couldn't get a bottle of water after spending so much money was very frustrating. The food was ok, but I wouldn't consider this a 5 star resort.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: WONDERFUL!

Checked in by Shelly. We couldn't get a room close to our family members (they booked with a different travel service) so she upgraded us to an ocean view, her idea, because she was sorry she couldn't get us close to my "mommy". That was the beginning of many wonderful surprises at this resort. Low end? If the service at this end of the resort is low end, then they must be fed with golden spoons at the Suites and Grand. The staff was exceptional. Even one of the gardeners asked if he could help  [... read more]us find something when we obviously looked a little lost. He not only told us the best way to get there, but stopped what he was doing to escort us to the door. They went above all expectations and never made us feel like we were a bother. We actually felt like we were at a family function much of the time. We are not big drinkers, but we enjoyed many of the mixed drinks. The servers and bartenders would make us up something when we had no idea what to order, and, oh yeah, they can mix some drinks! Miami Vice....enough said. The food was very good, even the buffet. Many selections, usually good and hot (depending on how long it takes you to make your plate and return to your table) and again the service was fast and very friendly. The a la cartes (make your reservations as soon as you can) are very, very good. The steaks are excellent!! The rooms are clean, comfortable and large. They are a little dated, but the service, beach and food were above my expectations, so a little bit of "needs updating" was the least of my concern. Check out, like check in, was quick and efficient. If you want to go to Jamaica and have great food, service and entertainment, not to mention the beautiful beach and sunsets.....Then this resort is for you. Don't bother spending extra money for the "higher ends" of this resort because, in my opinion, the service couldn't be better. Of course, we didn't ask for room service, so if you want that and the extras that go along with that, then great, by all means check out the Suites or Grand. Otherwise, I highly recommend the beach end of this resort. Relaxed and full of flavor! Thanks Trip Central and Iberostar Beach for a wonderful vacation! Can't wait to return!

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Great Resort

The hotel was beautiful and clean, no big complaints. Face clothes were hard to get. The beach with water activities was the better beach. Weather was amazing very hot. some rain not to serious though. Typical all inclusive resort. Would return. Food was amazing.

Riu Ocho Rios: Amazing resort!!!!

Amazing Staff!! They are so friendly and take care of your every need++++. Amazing food! Beach is unreal and very well kept. Drinks and entertainment were awesome! Pool was very nice! Book excursions .... Cool running was a highlight! I will go back!!!!

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Beautiful resort - amazing service

2 queen beds. When we got to receiving, we could have gotten rooms with queen size beds but it would have cost us a $30 upgrade fee per night (for 12 days???) would have cost us a fortune so we had to do with what they offered us. Very disappointed in that. One other thing, the beach was not what they show on the pictures - water very beautiful but beaches not that nice to swim in.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Beautiful & Relaxing

The resort was really nice. Lots of choices for the food. Jerk chicken is amazing. I read all the reviews prior to going and we had no issues. We were on the top floor and it does have the best view but the air conditioning was not great but it did cool us down. If you like a long beach to walk upon this is not what you are looking for. Snorkeling was not the best but we did see some. Take a small water bottle full of bread and water and squeeze and fish will come to you. Towels were changed dai [... read more]ly and if we did not get something you just need to ask nicely and you will get it. It is a lot of walking but once you find the short cuts its easy plus it helps to wear off all the food and drinks you have. Take high level sun screen you burn easy there.The catermeran & Duns River Fall trip was great was well worth taking. Lots of activity at the resort if you want to get involved. Stay clear of the time share ladies, the are very pushy. My husband and I loved the place and would recommend. Trip Central provides you contact numbers if something goes wrong, we did not need to use it but it is a comfort knowing they are there to help.

The Oasis at Sunset: Excellent Resort!!!!

The Oasis at Sunset is a beautiful resort, with amazing staff, clean rooms, & delicious food. The grounds, beach, & pool were all immaculate. I would recommend this resort to anyone. It was my first trip to Jamaica, and will definitely return.

Couples Swept Away: Swept Away, we will be back!

We spent a fabulous week at Couples Swept Away. Beautiful beachfront location, great rooms, (very clean and comfortable), food above par for an all inclusive. People were amazing and friendly. Water sports offerings were great. Night snorkel a must! We will be back!

The Oasis at Sunset: Awesome resort

I can't say enough good about the Oasis at Sunset. Everything was perfect, the size of the resort is great....not too big, not too small! And the people that work there????? WOW Whatever we wanted all we had to do was ask and we had it! I think this has been the best resort I've every stayed at. I've been to Dominican, Cuba, Mexico and now Jamaica and this by all accounts has been the best!

Sandals Jamaica South Coast: Great resort.

Lovely grounds. Friendly staff. This resort lived up to its reputation. The beach is great but not nice for swimming. I love the ocean but it was weedy. Do not choose Whitehouse if you enjoy a clear ocean. It was nice to not have to make reservations for dinner. Never a long wait, if any. Bar service in the evening, is especially slow. I enjoyed the morning aqua fit class and the included water sports.Overall, a nice relaxing vacation.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Royalton White Sands beach resort

the hotel was beautiful, very clean and beds were very comfortable. the food was delicious and the staff was wonderful. I would highly recommend this hotel.. We also loved the excursions outside the hotel.

SeaGarden Beach Resort: Amazing resort!! - great people :)

When we first entered the hotel and noticed the beach was across the street we were apprehensive. However, once inside dealing with the staff we were quickly changed for the better. Wayne in the dining room was an absolute sweetheart, the bartenders Staintan, Martin and Presley were amazing and always eager to help. The hotel has only been re-opened for a year and the improvements are ongoing but will not interrupt your stay. The entertainment staff amazing and always trying to keep you involved [... read more]. If you are looking for a party place this is not your hotel....If you are looking for family oriented and a relaxing stay than this is for you...Just a few steps away there is shopping at the "HIP STRIP"

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Awesome Resort.

The overhaul experience was awesome. The staff was friendly, the food was excellent and the hotel was very clean. If was very nice to go to a resort where people speak english and there was no language issues. The bar tenders at the pool bar where very friendly and always willing to have a chat. Would go back tomorrow.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Awesome Resort!!

Our stay at this resort was just fabulous. Myself, my husband and our friends enjoyed everything about Iberostar, Montego Bay. The location was a quick 15 minute bus ride and the transfer arranged by Trip Central was smooth and comfortable. Our room was big, bright and clean as a whistle. The food was delicious at both the buffet and the A LA Cartes. The beach and pool area was also clean and well kept. The lazy river was an extra bonus even for us adults!! The Star Friends were amazing and made [... read more] our week an entertaining one. All and all this was a great resort and I would definitely return for another terrific vacation and recommend it to all my friends!!

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: A very nice resort

The Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Resort was a wonderful resort. The grounds were very beautiful. Intertainment was awesome. The food was great. The people so friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The beach was grand and the pool, lets just say beautiful and lots of fun.

Royalton Negril Resort And Spa: Grand Lido Negril

We returned to this resort for the last week they were open, we had made many friends. Our two real reasons for choosing this resort were because of the adult only policy and their outstanding staff. Othneil,Veneer,Dwight,Freyia,Carlene,Paula,Stacia,Lisa,Linda,Vanessa,Georgette,Leroy and all the other staff too numerous to mention you are absolute gems. I sure hope you find other jobs and then find your way back to this resort because you are truly the ones that make it so successful. Love and g [... read more]ood wishes to you all!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Both Good and Bad

The staff was hard-working, which made this overall a good experience. However, we dad to wait 1 1/2 hours past check-in for our room for no explicable reason. If it wasn't for Orando at the front desk we would have had to wait longer. Ended up getting in our room at almost 5 pm and our safe wasn't working (the handle wouldn't turn). At that point I was so frustrated I was almost in tears. We called maintenance and based on previous reviews were expecting quite a wait but to our surprise a worke [... read more]r showed up within ten minutes and fixed it. With the late entry to our room, we ended up losing most of our first day there, which was quite disappointing. Just enough time for a quick dip in the pool, which was fantastic. We were invited to the steakhouse by one of the workers while in the pool and ate there that night; the buffet stuff was just average but I had the salmon on the waiter's recommendation, which I really enjoyed (small portion but the appetizers and dessert are buffet style). The food overall was just average. I'm not a picky eater, but my friend is and she had trouble finding things she could eat. Some things looked good but didn't taste so great; most of the desserts are super sweet, even for someone who likes sweet stuff. Would recommend the Orchid buffet over the Palmyra as there are more choices and we found the service to be better. The outdoor lunch buffet was generally good - make sure you look at your jerk chicken before walking away because my friend's was pink (uncooked) inside. In my opinion, the best meal was at the Mikado (Japanese restaurant) - the sushi appetizer wasn't so good but the teppanyaki of various meats, veggies, and rice was great. Drinks were plentiful and we didn't feel the cups were too small as some previous vacationers have mentioned. The grounds were immaculate and the beach was great (the walk to the 'good' beach is really not as far as people make it seem - took us five minutes). That part of the beach has two separate bars that are close to the chairs, and yes there are people in the water selling souvenirs but they aren't a bother. We found them entertaining. We never had trouble finding free loungers at any time of the day at the beach, but at the pool the only free loungers were in the direct sun. Speaking of, bring SPF 60 or above and make sure you slather it on. I have an olive skin tone and was burned pretty badly within the first day - a week later still recouping. The staff generally provided great service; bartenders are hilarious. The women at the front desk always look like they couldn't be bothered, and the premium club women harass people as they walk through the lobby - we started avoiding it on the second day for that reason. We tried saying no politely, beating around the bush, being direct - none of it worked. If I said no the first five times I'm not interested! They really need to work on that. Our room keys stopped working twice - not so good when it's late at night and we wanted in the room. Was a simple fix at the front desk but again the staff there aren't so friendly. Overall I would stay here again if the price was right, but there are better deals to be had in Jamaica. Shop around!
