Dreams Rose Hall: Great resort!!

the whole area is very clean, few selection of food but tasty, the only thing that we noticed, the staff are not that friendly and everyobody seems miserable and unhappy, expects to be given tip at all times.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Unforgettable experience

From the lobby, to the pool, restaurants, and ocean, this resort is the epitome of the "Jamaican Experience". Friendly people, delicious food, clean facilities, inviting atmosphere, and outstanding entertainment team. It is the star friends and staff that really gives this resort it's character. You can't go a day without a smile, which is a challenge I loved failing at :)

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Best vacation ever!

We went together with another couple to this fantastic resort for a week. Between us all, we have been to multiple Caribbean destinations, and between all four of us, we all agree that this resort has far exceeded our expectations. It had everything we hoped for and more. The size was small enough that everything was close by but big enough that it had all the amenities and services of a big resort. The staff at all levels made it extremely enjoyable. From the entertainment staff to restaurant s [... read more]taff to the towel staff. A special shout out to Cupcake, Twitter, Smiley, Nikki B, Breezy, and Chocolate! So friendly at attentive and worked so hard. The bar staff were extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and the drinks were creative and amazing! Everywhere we went was clean and things were maintained or in the process of being upgraded. The food was the best we have experienced at any resort. We never tired of the buffet but the a la cartes were an extra bonus and so good! The beach was ok but as per some reviews, it did have some seaweed. However the pool was overlooking the beach and we mostly hung out there. There is pretty good snorkeling right off the beach though so that was a nice surprise. We did an excursion to go snorkeling at the marine park and margaritaville. The next day we went to the luminous lagoon. A must see for sure! The joint excursion was excellent value and again great staff on the Dressel divers crew. All in all we had a fantastic week and while we like to explore new places, this is one we would definitely return to. I do not understand the negative reviews, this place is amazing!

Catalonia Montego Bay: We will definitely go again!

The pros: The price was right! The staff were all friendly, the food was very good, the resort itself was clean & well maintained. Has an adult pool & adult only beach area. Neat layout that allows a lot of quiet beach areas. And of course a large, family pool & beach area. Bonus: smoking is only allowed in designated areas, as it is a family friendly resort. Lots to do...a well equipped gym, shuffleboard, basketball court and great tennis courts with an AMAZING, talented, super friendly & helpf [... read more]ul tennis pro - Jermaine! The cons: You have to get up very early in the morning (or late at night!) to go and put towels down on loungers in the shady areas of the beach. This seems ridiculous, but as long as the hotel allows this, those travelers wanting/needing some shade have to do so. Note to Hotel Mgmt: Do NOT allow towels to be placed before 6 am (or 5?), and then enforce this! Take the towels that are put down before the specified time. This will stop the annoying and inconvenient practice. (The one night we stayed up late, we saw numerous towels down already - and it was only 11:30 pm!) Although the rooms were standard Caribbean/hotel rooms...king bed, desk/chair, sofa, bathroom, they did have a very large, open closet to hang your clothes and 4 large, deep drawers to put things away. Also lots of plugs to charge your e-toys (2 plugs on each side table lamp.) Wifi was free throughout the resort, although quicker in the am. Overall a very enjoyable, relaxing holiday!

Sandals Jamaica Ocho Rios: When the renos are done, this will be 5 stars

It was our second trip to this resort but we stayed on the hillside, not the seaside. The jack hammering was intrusive and downright awful at times. Other work includes painting and woodworking which of course are not really a big deal. If I had to do it again, I would go to the seaside. It's an individual thing, but I didn't find the butler service to be exceptional; we used it mostly to get around the resort which is not an issue if you are staying on the seaside. I suspect the renovations wi [... read more]ll be done by mid-May and it will look spectacular. The food is delightful; lots of healthy options, including for a Ceiliac. Top shelf liquor is available without extra charge (to an extent), you just have to ask for it. If you are looking for high-end wine, you will have to pay for that. If you are a golfer, bring your own clubs; you can play three times with a cart and caddy for $150 per person. Renting clubs is expensive though; approximately $50 per round. The golf course is about a 20 minute drive away and the shuttle goes every hour. If you are a quick player, you can get a round in 3 hours. (so, get up early, go play and be back on time for lunch and then beach/pool time) The beach is non-existent (almost) other than the Ochi Beach club which is really fun.

Sandals Jamaica Ocho Rios: An absolute beauty....

This resort is absolutely gorgeous. It is a 90 minute drive from the airport which to us was a fun ride but I noticed some people clearly had not done their research and were moaning and groaning about it. This is not the resorts fault, it is your own :) We stayed in the butler village which felt like a little home in the hill. The room was clean and we had a little patio to sit out on. There is so much to do, many different pools all over the place, if you keep exploring you keep finding them.  [... read more]If you prefer beach over pools this probably isn't the resort for you as the beach portion is quite small. There is definitely no shortage on places to eat. I liked that there wasn't a typical "all inclusive buffet" with mediocre food. All of our meals were amazing, but we didn't bother with the Japanese or French restaurant. When in Jamaica, we love caribbean food so we preferred dinner at the Manor. The portions aren't too big so you can try a lot of different things. At night there are a lot of things going on, loved the beach party and another night had a chocolate buffet party. If you go in with the mindset to have fun and enjoy yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Sandals Jamaica Negril: Sooo relaxing :)

I cannot say enough about this resort.We have been South 3 times and this is the only resort we have been to.My saying is...'why mess with a good thing'.The staff is beyond amazing,friendly,accommodating,happy,and hard working,even the locals that hang out on the perimeter of the beach watched my belongings for me.The beach is not huge,but the area I lay in I have more than enough space,but the other area of the beach is slowly getting smaller.We only had one issue and that was the location of o [... read more]ur room which was by the dining room,so when the staff was getting ready for the day it was very noisy at 5 am(but we did not complain,we had a nice view).

Sandals Jamaica South Coast: Sandals Whitehouse awesome

Other than the long drive from Mo Bay the vacation was fantastic. Amazing grounds. Super beach. Great food. Giuseppe's pizza everyday. Martini bar and fire tables were great atmosphere. Great diving. Sandals does it again.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Loved every minute of our stay

I have only good to say about all of this. I especially LOVED the pool as i am not a great swimmer. The excerise bikes in the pool was a great idea and i took advantage of those every day. All resorts should follow this. Beaches were ok, would recommend water shoes for sure.

Couples Negril: Most Amazing Resort ever...... Paradise

From the moment we stepped off the bus at couples until the moment we left, we felt at home. This resort was amazing. Very clean inside and out. The maids are constantly cleaning And the gardeners always raking. All the staff serving meals were very friendly and all the meals delicious. The bar tenders were top notch with their service. The water sports guys were absolutely hilarious and a joy to be around. The only complaint I would have is...... Vacation was to short hahaha, could have stayed  [... read more]forever.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing... But

The hotel was simply amazing. It was very clean, the service was excellent and the staff was super friendly and extremely polite. We were warmly invited to a sales presentation for the 'privilege club'. The presentation was awesome however the pressure sales tactics was very distasteful. Being pressured to spend $3000-$4000 while on vacation without given time to think about it has left a very bad taste in my mouth. To recommend the hotel I would first warn my friends and family to avoid the pre [... read more]sentation.

The resort was amazing! Facilities are everything you'll ever need. Food is VERY plentiful and very good, safe and secure... And the staff is top notch! Anything you need or want they are quick to help!!!

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Always a perfect vacation!

We have just returned from our amazing vacation, celebrating with our daughters. It could not have been more perfect. This was our 3rd visit at this beautiful property, and it never disappoints! We had requested an upgrade to ocean front, and when we arrived, we were thrilled to enter our rooms, right on the beach, quiet, large, super comfy beds, our butler Duran was so helpful, always smiling, and always available to take care of us. Our rooms were immaculate as always, and the housekeeping sta [... read more]ff were amazing! We came back one night, and they had decorated our rooms, bathtub filled with bubbles, champagne chilling, rose petals everywhere, towel sculptures and balloons, in celebration of our daughters birthdays, and our anniversary. It was gorgeous! We return to the Grand for the fact that it truly is grand! This property is spotless, the pool is beautiful, the washrooms immaculate, the grounds always being tended to, the beach so clean, and wonderful to walk, totally decadent in every way. And the best part, ADULTS ONLY! We love our girls, but we travel for this pampering, and relaxation, and they serve it up on a silver platter! The staff........truly sensational, always smiling, so helpful, and boundless energy! From the Star Friends, to the restaurants, to the front lobby, the pool, the grounds, the bars, they go above and beyond to make sure that you are always happy and taken care of. The food was exceptional, always beautifully presented, wonderful varieties at every meal, and the staff always professional, making you feel very special at all times. We have travelled over 16 times to many places in the Caribbean, Jamaica is our favourite, the people are so welcoming and engaging. We return to the Grand as it truly is outstanding, and is the total package, and we know that it will be a truly amazing vacation, and we have never been disappointed!! Worth every penny! We look forward to our next vacation at the Grand Rose Hall, a perfect vacation, in a very special place!

Grand Palladium Jamaica: awesome

Excelent hotel. Great food. Nice beach and entertainment. Friendly staff. Good transportation to the airport. Flexible hours for restaurants. Several small pools around the resort. Very clean and organized.

Royalton Negril Resort And Spa: the staff make the place

The staff at the Grand Lido are absolutely wonderful. The lamb at the cove bar were out of this world and the people at the cove were down to earth. We made a lot of new friends and will never forget our trip. The resort was nice and small which is what we like; you're not treated like someone on holidays but as a member of their family.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Elegant fun!

I had a wonderful time at the Riu Palace Tropical Bay. From our initial encounter with the front desk staff, to the bar staff, to the housekeeping and finally to the animation team....Everyone was extremely positive, kind, helpful and sincere. They made me feel like a valued guest as they often remembered my name and took time to have nice conversations with me. Sharon at the 24 hour bar was a gem, Jemaine in the dining room was charming and the spirited animation team (in particular Chicken and [... read more] Sweetie) really made each an every day. The dancers were phenomenal (Megatron , Chicken, Popsicle, etc.) as they are well trained by their very talented choreographer. The resort and grounds were pretty and the food was delicious, but the staff made our trip so much fun.

Sandals Jamaica Ocho Rios: Entertainment at its best

Stayed Feb 11-15. Beautiful resort with plenty to do. The service and staff fantastic. The resort is huge a little to big for our 4 day escape As we felt that we missed out on a lot. I love along stretch of beach and the beach here was nowhere near what I had hoped for. During our stay there was construction all day making for a not so relaxing atmosphere. We stayed on the beach side as we prefer to be closer to the beach. The room itself was clean and comfortable but the moment we walked out to [... read more] the balcony all u hear is a loud air conditioner. All in all our stay was a Good One - Will we be back, No!

Catalonia Montego Bay: "My Caribbean Vacation" at a Holiday Inn.....

A typical Hoilday Inn caribbean style. Great for the kids , family , couples that just want to be home away from home. Everything is fine, but just fine , drinks are good food is fresh and plenty of staff to take care of you.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: So many options that it kept whole family happy!

We liked the resort. it was large and my teenagers said it was "posh". Rooms were very large - beach was lovely - food very good. Hard to get a reservation to sit down restaurants or a lounge chair unless you get up a dawn - but it was March Break!

Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: would go back in a heartbeat

the jewel was absolutely amazing, the staff were the best and always smiling and saying hello and asking if everything was good. the rooms were very nice, nothing to complain about, except for the shared balcony in emerald buildings, did not like those, should be private then would be awesome, loved my 2nd room in the diamond building, the grounds and the pools were very well maintained, the food, well, absolutely the best, loved everything i ate, it is a beautiful beach although a bit small ( b [... read more]ut i did know that before booking ) loved that it was adults only also.
