Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Nice Resort

The resort is nice, the grounds are beautiful. We stayed in a garden hut, it was nice but needs some updating and a clock ,coffee maker and mini fridge would be a major benefit as some huts are further away from bar area. Not always the beautifulest walk in the early morning if you have a hangover. But other then that I was just fine. We travelled as a group of 9 and we all enjoyed are stay. Ages range from 9- 62. Most of us in our 30's early 40's. Food was good, and drinks well no complaints th [... read more]ere. There is always loungers available on the beach with was also a bonus , you didn't have to run down first thing in the morning to but your towels out. Also the entertainment was ok. There was a couple really good shows. The entertainment crew work really hard, they try to get everyone to participate but don't bug you. Another bonus. They are doing renovations to the bar area and also setting up wifi throughout the resort. The beach areas are nice bigger then what I expected from reading other reviews. I thought it would be a small resort but it's not really that small. We have been on many vacations and we will decently return to this resort again.

Riu Ocho Rios: Great food fun and times!!!

Great resort, food was wonderful rooms were well beautiful and the staff were second to none! I would recommend this hotel to anyone. We be going to a Riu resort in the future because they really know how to make an enjoyable time!!

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: We will return!

What a wonderful spot! Yes as previous reviews have mentioned the rooms are not posh. There was rust on the lampshades in our room but that is because of the humidity ...... it is after all a tropical paradise. The bathroom in our room was not fancy but certainly adequate. One must remember not to expect a room like you would find at Azul, Rose Hall Beach is a very affordable location. We were very happy with our room, the view was spectacular. We stayed in 2225, corner room, wrap around balcony [... read more]. We get up early and would stake claim to a couple of chairs by the pool. They go quickly. It seemed there were always chairs available on the beach. The beach is delightful. Plenty of shade or sun. I foolishly hurt my knee 18 hours after arrival. I was so so so happy that everything is right at hand. The pool, beach, restaurants, all right there. Food.... AMAZING !!!! Japanese Restaurant should not be missed. I gained 9 pounds, I think that says it all.The entertainment staff really made our visit though, loads of energy around the pool, friendly and fun, dance classes, face painting etc. We thought the evening entertainment was fantastic! A special shout out to EBONY and NIKKI B. We will be back!!!!!! Honestly I read some pretty lousy reviews. Get your head on straight people, appreciate all the beauty and effort and amazing staff.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Beautiful Resort

Beautiful resort on seven mile beach. Service and food were exceptional. The bathrooms in the rooms could use an upgrade but everything was clean. Thank you so much to our wonderful servers Winston, Sherean and Powell, to name a few, for making us feel at home and welcome.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Amazing resort!

We travelled to this resort with 2 small children. Everything at the resort was very kid friendly! The food and drinks were amazing, beach was beautiful and the resort was always clean and very well kept! The staff was great and made it very enjoyable to be around! We would definitely go back!

Shaw Park: Great place to chill out

Before going to Shaw Park, my husband and I had always stayed at four or five star mega resorts. Never again. The only regret I have about our week at Shaw Park was that it ended too soon. Having said that, this hotel won't be for everyone. It's definitely showing its age and there are no animators running around trying to keep guests entertained 24-7. Although we were there at the height of the season, it was half full at best, so if you're looking for a non-stop party, go elsewhere. If, like u [... read more]s, however, you want to be right on the beach where you can lie in the sun (or shade), read a good book, eat well and take in some of the local culture, Shaw Park is perfect. The clientele is an interesting mix of locals, Europeans and North Americans, the staff is amazing and the food is fresh and tasty, with a Jamaican flare. Would we go back? Ya mon!

Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: Definitely recommend this resort

Everything was great about this resort. Never felt busy, food was excellent and a beautiful property. Property is not super large but that is not a problem for me since everything is quickly accessible. All food especially Moonstone's and the pizza place was super delicious. Even the buffet although not super large had all the right food.

Sandals Jamaica Caribbean Cay: Great 4 day trip

We were there from Dec 24- 28th. Considering it was over Christmas we found the service very good and the staff friendly and no delays. We stayed in the Sandals Club area, quiet which we liked, more action at the main pool. The beaches are a little small but still nice, food was good. A little close to the airport, which was a bonus for a short trip, no long drive like to some of the other Sandals properties on the island. Overall a nice property, well maintained made a great 4 day trip. I think [... read more] a week of the planes might have been a bit much but they really did not bother us. We knew when we booked at this location we were only a short distance from the airport so planes would come with the territory.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing resort

Amazing amenities. Clean, beautiful rooms. Grounds were impecable! Wide variety of food at buffets. Loved the theme approach. Excellent à la carte restaurants. Friendly staff who went above and beyond to make our stay as easy, simple and relaxing as possible.

Royalton Negril Resort And Spa: Amazing beach

This was an amazing beach location!! Clothing optional area and beach nice and secluded!!! One of the best c/o beaches anywhere in the Caribbean!! The friendliest staff we have ever seen!! Good food!!

Sandals Jamaica Ocho Rios: Awesome Experience!

The food was second to none, the staff were so very kind and attended to our every wish! We originally wanted somewhere that we could explore and not be tied to a resort, this place is big and varied enough that it allows for that. The gym, spa and golf were perfect. The beaches are small but the mariner and water sports made up for the lack of beach.

Rooms on the Beach Negril: Quiet and Simple

We stayed at Rooms Negril for 3 days prior to Christmas 2014 and received a fantastic deal considering the time of year (can't complain!!). The room was very simple and all that we needed considering most of our time was spent outdoors however lighting is poor and you have to pay for WiFi. The downside is that breakfast took a long time to be served and there are no instructions of how it works, you have to figure it out for yourself (a sign would be helpful). It's continental style so most of i [... read more]t is bread. There are options to purchase food from a different lunch/dinner menu however we never did. We would go to "Sweet Spot" across the street and order there. The food was delicious and much cheaper than at the resort. We ate there every night ($6 for two of us!!) then bought our beverages and snacks at the store across the street from Sweet Spot (up a bit). The beach was beautiful and the water was clear. Very nice to take a walk, etc. Overall, our stay at the resort was quiet and comfortable. The staff were also nice. We would stay at Rooms again...but in Ocho Rios next time to see that side of the Island.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Overall great value!

Despite a slight inconvenience with the new building being developed adjacent to the Don Pablo Collection (we asked to be moved and were quickly accommodated) the site was beautiful: lots of different places to hang out around a long pool meandering through the grounds. The beach, although not large, was quite pleasant and quiet. Service throughout our stay was very prompt and courteous. The lunches were superb down near the beach - the best jerk chicken ever! Dinners were very good, 4 out of 5  [... read more]stars generally, and again great, friendly service. Evening entertainment was the best and most varied we've experienced in several Caribbean visits.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: The best all inclusive ever!

Exceptional service, and outstanding food including the buffet. Clean, tasteful and although a large resort - all three of the hotels were located on the beach so nobody had more than a 5 minute walk to the beach. A short ride from the airport with no planes buzzing overhead. Fitness classes were great and the gym and spa were also amazing. Can't say enough about it, look forward to returning!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Wonderful time

The resort is clean and lush. The people are attentive and friendly. The food at eh buffet is tasty with good variety... all amazing. I preferred the beach even though it is more pebblier than sandy. Wonderful time and sun!

Sandals Jamaica Ocho Rios: No Hot Water!!!

Stayed on the beach side of the property between Dec.22-29, 2014. I travel 5-8 times a year and was just in Ochi on Dec.3/14. Room was fine, but by my first morning no hot water, complained by phone, complained by phone later and in person to front desk, still no hot water at bed time. Morning number two, no water at all, phoned and in person again. Water back on, still no hot wTer by late afternoon, finally had a tech come out...that's when I found out that the whole building has no hot water ( [... read more]was in #2055) and hasn't all week. So I was put into a room and put off knowing full well this was an issue all along! Finally had a sit down with a manager, she was skilled at resolving my issue after showing me 3 rooms (two also had no hot water, different buildings...wouldn't take the room w/out trying the taps first). The experience regarding service, quality of food, professionalism was at best mediocre and inconsistent. Things like towels in the gym 2 days out of 7, asking for fridge restocking ignored 4 days out of 7, bathing item restocking requested also mostly ignored, had to tip wait staff to get somewhat consistent service, breakfast items often out of stock, getting coffe/water refills at breakfast was cumbersome, pool towels often out of stock for large portions of the day, list is endless.

Catalonia Montego Bay: Great time!

I went dec 21-28 2014 with my boyfriend and had a great time. We loved the food especially the jerk hut and Italian restaurant. We went for a day trip to negril as well which was only 40$ and well worth the money. The resort is better suited for families but we still had a good time. Spent most time in the adult pool which is very small and shallow and infested with bees. Also, the beach was beautiful but very shallow so I'd recommend going off resort if you want to enjoy the ocean. Those would  [... read more]be my only complaints. Aside from that, service, grounds and food were great. Would go back for sure!

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Remarkable!

Only compliments to give this resort. 1. The food and restaurants were amazing. My personal favourite was the steakhouse for lunch and dinner. 2. The staff were constantly cleaning so the grounds and pools were spotless. 3. The Junior Suite was plenty - huge king bed, spacious washroom, Internet throughout resort. 4. The staff were always friendly. 5. The beach had more than enough tikki huts for all. Some pebbles on the beach, but not in all areas. A short walk down the boardwalk to the other I [... read more]nerostar resorts with fun activities for adults and kids. 6. Amazing itinerary of activities for all if interested - childrens beach party with marshmallow bonfire, water games, dance party, table tennis, volleyball, water exercises... And so on. A very short drive from airport with great organization of shuttle buses and staff who make sure people get the right bus. I will return!!!!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Wonderful trip

Spent Christmas 2004 there. They made a special evening of it. Great food, beach, activities, etc. clean and spacious rooms. Front desk staff need a little heater, but otherwise everyone was very helpful.

Sandals Jamaica Ocho Rios: Amazing trip to SGR

Just returned from Sandals Grand Riveria and we had a wonderful trip. Resort plantation is beyond anything we have ever seen on our vacations. Staff goes above and beyond to give you a wonderful stay. Food is awesome! Drinks are premium quality. We stayed by the ocean and loved it. We enjoy being by the water and the sounds of the ocean. The beach area is small but the rest makes up for it. We will definitely return to a Sandals resort :).
