Jewel Runaway Bay Resort: Great place

Nice hotel clean friendly staff food was good service was goodI never heard the word no we're not even once on my trip everything was wonderful would definitely go there again the grounds were cleaned and maintained every day staff was very friendly and helpful

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: I will go back !

I will write tips that other travellers would find useful. Hotel - clean and beautiful. The hotel is well designed. Everything is easily accessible. The lobby has a wonderful seating area and the overall feel is very welcoming. It is evident the staff takes pride on keeping the grounds well maintained. Rooms - clean and spacious. We didn't spend much time in ours but I don't really have any complaints. The one thing I noticed is the noise can travel in the hallways. Food - Amazing! No complai [... read more]nts here. Wide variety of options. Breakfast was a must. All the a la cartes we went to were delicious. Make sure you don't miss Thursday night at the buffet as they have lobster! Drinks - Delicious. All I can think about is more dirty bananas and coco locos! Beach - peaceful and quiet. We did not find it overcroweded at all as most people seemed to hang around the pool. The only complaint I would have is the amount of times I was asked about a welcome gift and attending a welcome meeting. Sometimes I was approached 4 times per day which got irritating. Overall though, I had a great trip, I would recommend the hotel to others and I would go back.

Riu Ocho Rios: Good Hotel

The hotel was beautiful, the food was great, but, repetitive. Pool side entertainment was bland and inconsistent. The staff members all round were fantastic, couldn't ask for better! The bar's were all in the same area, it would have made more sense to spread them out around the property! I personally like to go out and venture, at this location you have to make transportation arrangements! 4stars. My family and I had an absolutely amazing time. ..that's all that matters! Thank you Jessie Newbig [... read more]ging @ Trip central.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Amazing trip!

Example: What did you think about  We were greeted at the airport which makes us feel being taken care of. This feeling last till we finish the trip. Hotel staff are very friendly. My daughter loves the staff at kids club and buffet restaurant.

Couples Swept Away: best resort ever!

The main lobby is very basic and does not reflect how great the resort is. The rooms are comfortable, the bathroom door is not solid _ not good for newly weds... The staff is really friendly and the zero tipping policy makes the place a really enjoyable one. The food is good but the best of all is their tennis courts! The best courts I have ever played on. There are 5 clay courts and 5 hard courts. All extremely well maintained. And the resort includes free lessons, tailored to the player's skil [... read more]l level. I guess that is what makes this place so much better than the others: all the extras that are included in the one price you pay (scuba diving lesson and practice in the ocean; as many snorkling trips as you wish- they take you with a boat to the different coral riefs; tennis; sunset cruise in a catamaran). And the beach is extremely beautiful! That is the best of the whole place.

Sunset Beach Resort and Spa: Amazing Family Vacation Destination

My husband and I travelled with our 3 young children and can't ay enough about how wonderful our trip was. The entertainment group kept our children busy everyday along with some fun activities with the adults. Food was simply amazing, always fresh and plentiful. The facilities were very clean and the staff were all friendly. We can not wait to schedule our next trip here!

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Great way to spend a week

We did travel during raining season( October), so quite a bit of rain, but price was great, the resort grounds were beautiful, snorkeled each cove a lot of sea urchins, parrot fish, black and white striped fish. The food was awesome. We liked the seafood a la carte, the Thai was just so-so. The staff was excellent from maids to servers, to bartenders, grounds and maintenance and the entertainment and front desk. We did not like Air Canada Vacations , the flight no movie unless you have your own  [... read more]device or rent one($10), had to buy food,no duty free on the plane, ridiculous long time getting checked in at airport even though we were there hours ahead , We will Never book Air Canada Vacations again, have has sucess with Nolitours,Air Transit and Sunquest . The Montego airport was brutal waiting to get through customs..three and 1/2 hours in line up like cattle. We didn;t get to our hotel until 6pm . We used the quiet pool it was nice and a bar there also, but the pool closed at 5pm , i did not like that , the adult pool should be open until 7-8pm at least , Especially when it rains so much All and all we loved our gardeview cottage and definatley would return but not with Air Canada Rouge /Vacations brutal......thanks RDC for a great vacation and a special thanks to Devin from front desk and Greg from the a la carte He was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunset Beach Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort

We absolutely loved our stay. The rooms were very clean, the food was amazing and the people were very friendly and outgoing. Excellent for kids and the entertainment was great. Would go back with no hesitation at all.

Sandals Jamaica Dunn's River: Outstanding service!

This is bu far the most beautiful resprt I have ever been to. Everything is so clean and beautiful, there is so much to do (2 pools, 2 hottubs, beach, chess, shuffle board, ping pong, golf, tennis, kayaking, sailing - all free!). The food was amazing. And the best part was the staff, who were amazingly friendly and helpful. I am so sad I had to leave and cant wait to go again.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Had a great time!

I've been to a few resorts and this one is comparable to most resorts. The food was excellent, I never had an issue finding something yummy to eat. The beds were super comfortable compared to some resorts that are rock hard. The entertainment team in my opinion is what made this resort. They were SO friendly and fun. Cupcake, Smiley and Angel made our trip a blast! They are such wonderful people and we miss them already. The ocean was warmer then the pool. Out of the three Iberostars we had the  [... read more]nicest beach, however the thing I think could improve with this resort is the cleaning of the beach. It was not raked daily and there was sea weed on the shore in the sand. This was a small resort which depending on what you like could be a good or bad thing. It's easy to find people if your in a larger group. If your heading to this resort no worries you will have a good time! :)

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Would definitely go back!

This was our first time in Jamaica and chose the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Hotel since it was only 20 minutes from the airport. The hotel was beautiful and kept very clean. The beach was sandy and no rocks at all. Further down at the Iberostar Suite and Grand the beach and water is very rocky. The food was great and lots of selection. Only went to 2 of the nightly shows in the theatre but both were excellent.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: excellent food, terrible entertainment

beautiful resort, definitely worth upgrading to luxury don Pablo section. unlimited a la cart's made all the difference. Service often slow, majority of staff unfriendly, poor nightly entertainment and major insect bites. Do not stay on first floor.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: CONTENT, SATISFIED, WILL RETURN

THE HOTEL HAS OVER 800 ROOMS ON 5 FLOORS. THE ROOMS WERE CLEAN ANS SPACIOUS. THE GROUNDS WERE WELL TAKEN CARE. THERE WERE 4 RESTAURANTS APART THE LARGE AND SMALL BUFFET STYLE DINING ROOMS . THE SNACK BAR ON THE BEACH WAS HEAVENLY.OUT OF THE 4 ( NON BUFFET ) RESTAURANTS CONSIDERING QUALITY OF FOOD AND SERVICE 1 RATED (A) 2 RATED (B) AND 1 RATED (C) THE LARGE BUFFET DINING ROOM IS LIKE ALL OTHER RESORTS A ZOO PEOPLE OVER DISHING THEIR PLATES A LARGE SELECTION OF FOOD TO MATCH ALL PALATES AND OBVIO [... read more]USLY VERY NOISY.HOWEVER, THE SMALLER DINNING ROOM ONLY FOR ADULTS WAS MUCH BETTER AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER QUALITY AND BETTER SERVICE. THE BEACH SUITED US PERFECTLY. NO WAVES, YOU CAN WALK A LONG DISTANCE IN THE WATER BEFORE IT REACHES YOUR NECK. WARM, CLEAN YOU CAN SEE THE SAND PLENTY OF BEACH CHAIRS PLENTY OF SHADE BUT DO NOT EXPECT TO WALK ON THE SAND FOR HOURS TO COME. IT IS SMALL.AROUND 15 MINUTES EACH WAY FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER.THE BEACH WAS IDEAL FOR TODDLERS. THE SWIMMING POOL WAS LARGE AND COMFORTABLE. BARS ALL OVER WHICH MADE IT SIMPLE TO HAVE A DRINK. THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR ALL PREMIUM WHISKY AND OTHER ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES BUT VERY REASONABLE. BUT, THE WINES IN THE DINING ROOM OTHER THAN THE HOUSE WINE SOME WERE OVER PRICED. ALL TIPS WERE APPRECIATED YES THERE WERE A FEW INCIDENTALS WHERE WE HAD TO CALL HOUSEKEEPING BUT IT IS EXPECTED WITH SUCH A LARGE RESORT. DEFINITELY THEY NEED A NEW ENTERTAINMENT MANAGER. DURING 4-8 PM WHERE PEOPLE GATHER AROUND THE LOUNGE TO HAVE A DRINK EITHER THERE WAS NO MUSIC AND IF THERE WAS IT WAS BAD. THE 4 RESTAURANTS THEY CAN EASILY HAVE A PERSON WITH A GUITAR OR A VIOLIN GOING AROUND THE TABLES TO SET THE ROMANTIC MOOD WITH THE SUNSET. AS FOR THE EVENING ENTERTAINMENT, THEY ARE 20 YEARS BEHIND TIMES. ONE UNFORTUNATE INCIDENTS WHICH I FOUND VERY POOR REACTION IN BEHALF OF MANAGEMENT. MY WIFE HAD AN UNFORTUNATE AND SEVERE FALL IN A DINING ROOM HITTING HER HEAD ON THE MARBLE FLOOR VERY HARD( THE FLOOR WAS SLIPPERY BECAUSE OF OIL ). THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE BY THE STAFF OF THE DINING ROOM WAS AMAZING THEY SUPPLIED ICE AND EVEN BROUGHT A WHEEL CHAIR AND EVEN WANTED TO CALL A NURSE AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES WE LEFT . BUT, WE HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THE MANAGEMENT THE FOLLOWING DAY TO FIND OUT IF EVERYTHING WAS FINE. VERY DISAPPOINTED MY SECOND DISMAY WAS THE COST OF A MASSAGE 120 DOLLARS FOR 50 MINUTES. I WILL BE CRITICAL; MY ARGUMENT IS: MINIMUM WAGE IN MONTREAL IS $10.10 AN HOUR AND WE PAY AROUND $75 .FOR ONE HOUR MASSAGE. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. HAD IT BEEN $50 BOTH MY WIFE AND I WOULD HAVE HAD 2 HOURS EACH. THAT IS $200 REVENUE FOR THE HOTEL VERSUS 0. I CHECKED THE RATES FOR FEBRUARY I FOUND IT OVERLY PRICED. FOR THE SAME PRICE I CAN SPEND THOSE 2 WEEKS ANYWHERE IN SOUTH AMERICA. THANK YOU JACK KALAYDJIAN

Jewel Runaway Bay Resort: Amazing island escape

I'll make this an easy one I went for a wedding & had a blast as it being my first time to Jamaica! Amazing friendly staff, awesome time/food at Platinum restaurant & others, humble home like feeling I will for sure return to Jamaica & jewel. Also Shorty the bus driver is awesome!

Riu Ocho Rios: Ok just ok

This resort is good for family's, me and my husband have been to jamaica 4 times first time in ocho rios. The beach was rocky needed water shoes to swim in the beach, very man made not natural beauty like negril jamaica. The food was awful I felt like I starved all week long, it's nice cause you can do dunns river and bob Marley but other than that the beauty of the beaches and scenery were not there, ocho rios is very city life not really Caribbean feel. The rooms were nice but did crack the fl [... read more]oor tile and I weigh only 125. The food was geared more for kids pizza French fries, very small portions again starved all week, it's not a adult resort more for families lots to do for kids.

Royalton Negril Resort And Spa: Amazing Resort

The Hotel room was a little dated and moldy. But the Resort as a whole was AMAZING. Had a GREAT time. Loved the staff they were so friendly. Food was great, enjoyed the buffet everyday as well as the restraunts on site.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Wonderful experience!

The resort was truly impressive, just perfect for a destination wedding. Immaculate grounds, great beaches, picturesque pools, good food and drink, great night clubs and entertainment, good shopping, and great service from the ultra polite staff. The experience was perfect! Ya man.

Jewel Runaway Bay Resort: Amazing experience!

This hotel was amazing! I loved every minute of it! My boyfriend and I were on this trip for a wedding he had never been down south but this hotel made him fall in love with the caribean! The people were super friendly and the beach was amazing! Food was also amazing! (french toast is superb!). The only problem with this resort is that they changed it to more of a family oriented resort so there was a lot of families and people went to bed early. Where as at other resorts the nighttime is the be [... read more]st part because its so busy and the atmosphere is great! The resort is a little distance away from any excursions but that is okay because you get to see the culture of jamaica on the way! We went to a place called the blue hole which is not yet government owned so it only cost us 30 bucks and we had a blast! So much fun! I recomend the hotel to anyone who has not been to jamaica!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing resort

My wife and I just got bad a week ago and was one of he best resorts we been too , this was our 1st time in Jamaica and loved every minute of it, the staff were friendly and was even more better when they spoke English very well, not like in Dominican where we spent most of our vacation they did understand you has well, we can't wait to go bad with the rest of our family next year

Sandals Jamaica South Coast: 7th Sandals Resort we have visited

This resort is very spread out with most of the restuarants and shops in one end of the resort. If anyone has a problem getting around, it would be trouble. The food was great (all Sandal's resorts have good food), the room was good and the ocean view great. The staff we very good. We enjoyed our visit to Whitehouse and will be returning for Xmas 2014.
