Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Beautiful resort but

This resort was very big. lots of walking. he grounds are very beautiful but resort is a little dated. Definitely needs new furniture in lobby and lounges. Rooms are large but in need of maintenance. Our shower leaked, air conditioning dripped in room continuously (had to leave towel on floor until maintenance could come) ceiling pot lights kept falling out and dangling, Food and staff were excellent. Liquor was very limited no premium included. Had to pay for Canadian Club which was considered [... read more] their premium. Beach on far side of resort was very nice (small and man made).

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Fabulous resort

The service was fantastic with staff replenishing our bar and refreshing our room regularly. The resort facilities and our room was fabulous with very updated and luxurious facilities. The location was close to the airport. The view was amazing with ocean view from many of the rooms. It was a fabulous and relaxing stay and I would recommend to anyone!!!

Fun Holiday Beach Resort: Lovely resort

rooms were clean, food was amazing.Staff were absolutely amazing.the grounds were well maintained. Nightly entertainment. Cab drivers on hand to take you were ever you wanted to go. The beach was cleaned every morning .

Riu Ocho Rios: Best resort ever!!

Amazing food, service, entertainment and beach! Enjoyed my stay very much and will return, all though I found resort big and our room was far from beach. Next stay I will ask for a room closer to main lobby.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Exactly what we were hoping for!

This was my first all inclusive resort experience. We traveled with my sister, her husand and their 8 year old son along with my husband and 7 year old twin boys. The lobby was well laid out and we were directed to the Diamond club lounge for check in. The rooms were laid out a little different than expected but still spacious enough to accomodate our family of 4 very nicely. The food in general was amazing. Jerk on the beach each day and the buffet was well stocked with lots of options. The onl [... read more]y food I would have said was not excellent were the Italian restaurant and Zen as the food did not feel authentic. Specifically the sushi and the chicken parm. For Diamond club guests I expected better options for dinner wines. The beach areas were large and clean. The locals were present but not pushy. I would suggest Sunwing talk to their floor reps to get the hint when guests aren't interested in the "pitch" breakfast and tour. Overall our experience at the Royalton White Sands was exactly what we had hoped. Our 7 days of fun, sun and off site activities was a perfect mix. April may not be everyone's perfect time to get away from the cold Canadian winter but it worked well for us.

Sandals Ochi Beach Resort: fantastic vacation

We had a great time. The drive from the airport to the resort was 1 1/2 hours which was disappointing but it was worth the drive. The grounds and pools were amazing. It was a tropical paradise. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. All the restaurants were very nice with great views of the resort especially the outside dining. We had a villa up on the hillside with the butler service and private pool. The private pool was a disappointment. We had to call for someone to come and ski [... read more]m the pool and the ratan furniture around the pool was broken with holes in the tables and lounges. We never used the pool area because it was depressing to look at and uninviting, but yet our two neighbours, their pool area was great. We regret not complaining about this but it did not lessen the great vacation that we had. We would definitely go back again but would book in the Riveria Seaside in one of the small villas. They are very private and are surrounded by a tropical paradise and it is very central in the resort to everything. We would also never have a butler again. Nothing personal, we are just private people and like to do our own thing and not be bothered.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: the best vacation i had

the hotel was clean ,the staff I can t say more except very professional ,curtious,always there when you need them. the food unbelieveable,tasty all Jamaican treat at your finger tip.the entertainment spectacular.i am going back to this resort next year,and will book with tripcentral.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Awesome place!

Gorgeous clean resort, friendly staff, lots of delicious food, and wonderful pool area. The only thing we disliked about the resort was the "sales pitch" and tour we felt pressured into doing. Other than that we would return again for sure!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great trip to Runaway Bay!

This was our 2nd time to this property and after our 1st time, we had somewhat high expectations. This time we stayed for 10 days which was the best! They met or exceeded all our expectations! . Staff was engaging, pleasant and efficient, Food was great! Room and view were amazing! We were comp upgraded to Don Pueblo side for our suite and the housekeeping staff did a great job. Always had towels and no issues getting beach towels either. The entertainment at the patio bar was fantastic every ni [... read more]te, especially Michelle Black and okay other than the steel drums which we also fantastic at the courtyard. Beach is a distance ( for the best part of the beach) which we knew so no issue there. We enjoyed the walk. Security was always somewhere to be seen, both on the beach and on the property. Our only issue ( which was not a hotel issue) was that another guest helped themseves to one of our beach floaties while we at breakfast. I was not impressed! Never saw the flaotie for 8 days! I woild defintely recommend! Thanks, Darlene & Jim

Samsara Cliff Hotel: Awesome vacation

We loved the resort, awesome view of the ocean and sunset. We had a 6-sided garden view room on the water side of the resort which was very nice, large and clean. The bed was very hard with no pillow topper available - staff were helpful in providing additional blankets to put under us - felt like the princess and the pea with 9 blankets under us! The large ceiling fan was sufficient for keeping the room cool and we end up turning it off by morning with just one light sheet under us. Staff were  [... read more]very friendly and very courteous and helpful. The resort is a cliff resort so no beach area but provides for great snorkeling right out front - beautiful! Our biggest complaint would have to be the food and coffee availability which is why we would stay there again but not do all inclusive. There are very limited options for buffet meals and not really traditional Jamaican foods which we would have liked and if you are an early riser, coffee isn't available until around 7 am. We ended up walking down to the market and buying a kettle. However...we found a little restaurant right across the street which is an excellent compliment to the resort - Pressa One Love. It offers very reasonable traditional Jamaican meals as well as typical bacon and eggs and large coffee cups - and they are open at 6:30 am. It takes a few extra minutes to get your food but that is because it is made from scratch. There are other small restaurants within walking distance so you can enjoy the resort all day and skip out for meals if you so desire. A recommendation would be a small coffee station with maybe an individual coffee maker and maybe some fruit for after hours. Would I return to this resort??? absolutely!!

Riu Palace Jamaica: Excellent

Excellent place, just like new, clean, clean, clean, wonderful staff, excellent food good variety, lovely beach, good entertainment, best hotel room I have every stayed in, first time I stayed in a Riu resort, would recommend.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: The name Grand is absolutely appropriate

I got married there and it was amazing!!! The people were great and they really tried hard to ensure everyone had a great time at their resort. There were a few hip cups but even then the staff did what was needed to correct it. At times the staff were slow meeting everyone's demands but with that amount of customers it really is understandable. The resort makes you feel safe and appreciated. The only draw back is they should provide the safes in the room free of cost and ensure they rooms are e [... read more]quipped with coffee on a daily basis. The rooms were very clean and the grounds were superbly maintained. The weather was perfect and there was enough space for everyone to enjoy. To the wedding department and Calesha wedding planner many thanks for all your effort for making the wedding remarkable.

Riu Palace Jamaica: Amazing Resort!!

We went here for out honeymoon.. told them we were on our honeymoon, got upgraded to Oceanview suite! The room, lobby, restaurants, and beach was all awesome!! Also, I've never experienced such amazing customer service before - everyone was so friendly and nice (and would go out of their way to help us)! This was an adults only resort, so the people staying here were mature & handled themselves quite nicely. Me & my wife are in our mid to late 20's, i think we were the youngest couple there.. In [... read more] general the crowd was probably late 30 + but we didn't mind that at all and had a great time!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Not a 5 star

The resort itself it very large. The rooms need maintenance in regards to the furniture, and bathrooms. We found the food in the buffets as well as the a la carte restaurants to be very good - lots of variety. The terrace has great nightly small bands that did not disappoint. However, we found the beach to be lacking. It just wasn't a 5 star calibre beach. The only thing that bugged me about this resort was the inconsistency of stocking coffee and the mini bar in the room. I need my coffee in th [... read more]e morning and to wake up and not have any was disappointing. Even after talking to the front desk about stocking coffee nothing ever came of it. Too bad.

Toby's Inn: Grate Place!

Great place to go at a reasonable price. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Location is Great. The public beach is 5 minutes away. hip strip is close with all the amenities you need. Will go back someday!

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Fell Short of Expectations

Resort is large but well laid out. Food only marginally better than Cuba but price a lot higher. Wine served is the worst we have come across. Constantly harassed by staff trying to sell spa and time share packages. Service staff were very good and helpful. Only went there because of destination wedding which they do a good job of. Would not go back as we prefer smaller resorts.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Beautiful spot

Everything was kept up nicely. Grounds were nice. People were great, always happy & smiling. Beach was beautiful. Pool could use more cleaning at times during the day. It was really nice to see designated smoking area's here.

The Oasis at Sunset: Relaxing, quiet, romantic vacation!

The hotel is adjacent to the larger resort but we enjoyed all the amenities. The junior suite was very nice and everything immaculately clean! Wonderful staff. Gorgeous grounds. Great food! Will return!

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Excellent resort

Service was exemplary, food great, resort amenities wonderful. Beach side buffet night and entertainment was fantastic! Basic rooms were small but very reasonable accomodations. Overall, great resort with well balanced mixed of relaxation and entertainment.

Sunset Beach Resort and Spa: Poor value for the price charged

Grounds - OK Room - no minibar or even bottled water Food - OK but fruit assortment is poor Public areas - very noisy at night, most of the rooms exposed, hard to sleep (idiot guests shouting and laughing up to 3am; peacocks on the premises - bad idea, start yelling at 4:30am; employees start moving furniture at at 4am).
