Grand Palladium Jamaica: Not good for toddlers

We just got back and we had a hard time feeding our kids. Ages 3 and 1- we couldn't take food out of the restaurants and there was no room service. So if my children fell asleep close to the meal times we couldn't feed them properly ! Also the first day we got there a lady from the uk yelled at my 3 year old to "Shut It"! He was excited to be on vacation and was jumping up and down ! The staff did nothing :(

Couples Tower Isle: Quaint and Relaxing

The couples lounge at the airport arrivals was a pleasant place to relax with a cold Red Stripe (free) while waiting for the bus(about 15 mins). Once at the resort we were greeting by smiling faces and cool towels to wash our hands and face and then a welcome drink, check in was super fast. Resort is small but very stylish, and lots and lots of staff, who are ready to help you anyway they can, very friendly staff. Loved all the activities that are included in this resort(Dunns River Falls, Shopp [... read more]ing, Margaritaville, Catamaran Cruise, Scuba, Snorkling). All restaurants were good, with lots of choices for the picky eaters. Just wish they were open every night. Premium drinks(GreyGoose, Smirnoff, Crown Royal, Malibu Rum, good Scotch) a bonus. Drinks of the day, delicious! Entertainment a little boring with the house band every night even they looked bored. Need new entertainment more often, different entertainment. Rooms were very clean and filling my fridge was just a phone call away, anytime. Left my safe open a few times with all my valuables, and cash, nothing was ever taken. Had a great relaxing vacation at Couples Tower Isle, Thanks!

Shaw Park: In need of upgrades.

Resort was small, but spread over a large beach front. Beach front rooms, just 10 steps from beach, great. Public areas were fine. Food selection was limited, but what was offered was very good. Resort needs a lot of upgrades.

Catalonia Montego Bay: amazing resort and staff

Just came back Feb 11, went with 4 other adults and 3 kids 3-12 years. Were not satisfied where are room was so told air transat rep at hotel and were moved the second day. we were there for 14 nights, last year went for 7 nights.The evening service in buffet and Sorrento was wonderful. I am not very good with names but I do remember Christopher at the Barefoot shack with all the bacon cheeseburgs ans grilled cheese sandwiches and fries that you could eat. The entertainment was a great improveme [... read more]nt over last years and they are adding more amenities like outdoors showers and washrooms over by beach. I hope this doe's not reflect on the price because right now it is very resonable. I love the manmade island it stops the ocean waves and makes it much easier to get into it. My friend and I plan on going back next year for 10 or 11 days, I got homesick. Great service great pool great vacation.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Bet nive

Wonderful beach, food, and drinks. Staff friendly- particularly if you tip. Hotel rooms very nice and grounds well kept. Evening shows ok- I thought better shows in Cuba. Shopping trip to Montego bay not worth it unless you like overpriced trinkets- things actually cheaper at hotel. Only disappointment- barely any Raggae music. Dunns waterfall trip- no guide- there is lots to see and do but the guided trip driver leaves you at the entrance with no guidance- ask lots of questions.

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Average resort

The little bungalows and the site are cute but the beach is really small, the food is average, it is noisy almost 24/7 and the service is average. Wouldn't recommend but some people we meet enjoyed it.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Great resort for all ages.

Resort has very clean grounds, pool, beach, rooms, public washrooms and restaurants. There is some seaweed at the beach but you can still swim in the waters. Very family friendly- there is so much for the kids to take part in- movies, kids club, night entertainment and water park. Very relaxing atmosphere for adults who just want it quiet or it can be entertaining and fun for those who like the music nightly entertainment. Food in buffet - always a great selection and every night is a themed nig [... read more]ht. Japanese is good-have to have reservations. The Italian is OK but the steak house is excellent and first come first served basis makes it difficult for some to get in.

Jewel Runaway Bay Resort: Wonderful Staff and great service. Top Notch!!

We were 16 men on a golf vacation. We WILL be going back and as long as everything is the same, will most likely grow in size and make it our annual destination of choice. Wonderful Staff and great service. Top Notch!! Would highly recommend this place.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: amazing trip to Gran Bahia Jamaica Runaway Bay

The hotel was awesome...food was amazing with great service at all the a la cartes, pool was great with nice warm weather. Our room was cleaned each and every day with a turn down service at night.Shows were o.k. but enjoyed the outdoor patio at night. Michelle Black was a great singer and entertainer

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Beautiful place

We had a wonderful stay at Iberostar Beaches. There were ongoing activities and you could be as active or as lazy as you wanted to be. The staff was amazing and the cleanliness of the whole resort was terrific, even the beach washroom was very very clean. I hope we can go back, very, very soon.

Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters: Nice Grounds- More Family Oriented

We recommend for families, no night life other children's entertainment. Food was ok, Jerk Chicken was the best option. Buffet was subpar. Hotel was constantly running out of Wine and Wine glasses. Nice Beach friendly staff. Make sure to get off the resort, locals are very friendly. Damian was an amazing staff member who helped us organize a day trip to Negril.

Catalonia Montego Bay: Pleasantly surprised

Just got back on February 11 2015- after reading the reviews we had low expectations but I would recommend this hotel to everyone! We booked a 7 day all inclusive through trip central.... There was a shuttle bus waiting for everyone through air transat.... The rooms were holiday inn standard but clean and everything worked..... The food was great, entertainment was great and plenty of lounge chairs for all.... The beach was small and there is a lot of sea grass but we swam everyday and there is  [... read more]great snorkelling around the island.... We were ocean front in building 3 and had a great view. The food and drinks were plentiful. The pool had daily entertainment for adults and kids.... Our kids 14 and 10 loved the ice cream, popcorn and jerk hut. If you wanted to leave the resort to go to bars, there were shuttles that took you there and back... We walked off the resort to go across the street shopping and felt extremely safe...... I want to go back!

Grand Decameron Montego Beach: fantastic

great staff, variety of food for everyone, coffee fabulous. everything was clean. The entertainment was first class and lots of fun. The one minor issue was wifi... buy by the hour $5/hr or $20 per day... sometimes there were no one hour packages available. dropped quite frequently.

Couples Tower Isle: Great Resort!

This was our first time to Jamaica & to a Couples Resort & absolutely loved it! Great food, the staff treated you like royalty and we met a lot of guests that were repeaters! We loved sitting on our ocean front balcony eating breakfast by room service!

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Great value for money

Resort was clean and rooms were simple. Wicker furniture, couple of lamps and a bar fridge. Beds were comfortable, room safe available for $2US daily. Beach wasn't the best, but they were cleaning it every morning. Garden grounds were beautiful, took pride in maintaining property.

Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall: Great Stay at the Hyatt Zilara

Spent 7 days recently (Jan.30-Feb. 6) at the the Hyatt Zilara in Jamaica and I have no trouble giving this experience a very high overall rating! We were very pleased that we picked this resort. People and staff at Zilara were excellent. Our room was on the 3rd floor of the new Zilara building with an Ocean view. It was large with a great design and very modern features, lots of storage, etc. We were very comfortable. Overall I would say our experience at the Zilara were of the highest caliber w [... read more]e’ve ever enjoyed at an all-inclusive resort…. including compared to past stays at Sandals and several other 4 and 5 star resorts. Resturants choices and food are a high point! Lots to choose from and all were very good. We had no issues getting into the different spots. We spent almost all of our time on the Zilara side except for strolling over to enjoy some of the restaurants and evening shows on the Ziva side. The Ziva side was busier, …we preferred the more intimate, quieter Zilara side for sun and pool. The only negative I’d call out is the beach and ocean. It was more rocky and had more seaweed than I’d like… but I still went in for a roll in the waves every day. That said, the beach and ocean are still incredibly scenic as you look out on it from the resort grounds.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Fabulous resort

We loved the size of the resort and it was easy to access all facilities of this hotel. There were plenty of beach chairs available. The entertainment staff and all the other staff services of this hotel was absolutely amazing. The restaurants offered plenty of food choices for everyone. We will certainly think about going back to this resort.

Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: The Jewel

Wonderful people, great rooms, older, smaller resort. We have been back several times and it just keeps getting better. Would highly recommend for a quiet relaxing vacation. This is not a big party hotel if that is what you are looking for. Great food for an all inclusive.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Truly the best resort I have ever stayed at.

I would like to thank Trip Central for once again making our experience the most amazing. To start off, the staff were simply the kindest. Booking our room, we purchased the upgrade only to be completely thrilled to be advised that yet again we were upgraded to a one bedroom suite as well as my parents who traveled with us. They were also very excited as this is probably the last trip like this they will take due to failing health. The rooms were simply beautiful and clean with a balcony from th [... read more]e bedroom that we could overlook the ocean on the lounge chairs. Another balcony from the living room with two chairs and a small table. The room also included two flat screen tv's. I know that's not what you are supposed to be doing on vacations like this but there has to be a little down time. lol The beaches were beautiful, especially the Sunset Beach. My only complaints about the main beach were that there was not enough beach area and was built up with sand and made it very uncomfortable in the lounge chairs as they were on an angle. You could move them towards the water if you are the kind of person like I am and love laying in the sun. However, my husband and parents like the shade. No complaints about the food either. The best I have had at a resort. Plenty of choice both in the buffet and also at the A la Carts. We even had a t-bone steak at the steak house, unbelievable is all I have to say. I have recommended this resort to all of my friends and hope in the future we return to Grand Playdium Lady Hamilton. Thanks again trip central for making this a most memorable experience. Look forward to next years booking. Sue

Riu Ocho Rios: Very enjoyable stay

Very attractive and airy resort. Loved being so close to the sea. The staff in all parts of the resort were friendly and professional. If anything, I would improve the comfort of the furniture in the central lobby.
