Wonderful Resort !

this was our first experience to Holiday Inn resort Montego Bay Jamaica and it wont be our last - it was super convenient to be so close to the resort maybe 15 minutes in the shuttle i honestly cant say enough about the staff they were lovely to deal with very accommodating ! rooms are clean and typical of an all inclusive "star" rating resort WAS absolutely wonderful and was very accommodating to families and "adult only" areas so we could have some quiet times... buffet and restaurants had [... read more] great choices for everyone and the grills were in my opinion perfect alternate for food. drinks were plenty rum punch yum yum Creme Rum was delsih!! my personal love was the snorkeling at this resort and the jerk after dark and going into Montego Bay with Ward a personal driver you can get from the resort for $ fee and very reasonable! we were very close to many excursions off site if you choose to wander off resort we golfed at both Cinnamon Hill and White Witch it was a beautiful experience. the only bad experience we had was for a few hours we had no water but they quickly took care of that and it was funny because we heard one of the workers say in Jamaica we have no problems only situations mon...LOL so that made the SITUATION even funnier and bearable . all in all it was a lovely experince and we would venture again to Jamaica mon! missing redstripe and jerk chicken already ! CHEERS!

Good value

The grounds were nice, even though there is only one buffet there are many other places to get food. The food is delicious. The rooms were sufficient, almost everyone of them have an ocean view of some kind.

Blissful

Very relaxing, loved the variety of foods especially Jamaican dishes. Fantastic and friendly staff. The beach was clean and no big wave. It’s safe and quiet. Night time entertainment ends too early for those who likes to stay up very late. Planning to go again 😀

Love this place

Love love love this resort. Will be back for sure!! Great food, great staff, very accommodating and always with a smile. Beach is amazing and the grounds are kept beautiful. The entertainment could be better but we don't go for the entertainment...we go for the relaxing atmosphere and the beach and sun!!

A great vacation!

My wife & I really enjoyed our weeklong stay at the Holiday Inn in Mo Bay. The staff were great, the upgraded room we got was great, the nightly entertainment was great & the food was delicious too. Particularly enjoyed the savory flavors of the Jerk Hut. All in all we had a wonderful time eating, drinking & savoring sunshine at this property. There are definitely newer, flashier & more expensive JA resorts but part of the truly attractive charm of Mo Bay's Holiday Inn is the relaxing, unpretent [... read more]ious ambiance. Kudos to the management for giving the staff the latitude to create a warm & personable vacation environment. My only issue is that I really like to go for long ocean swims when I am on vacation & this resort did not have swimmer access to water that was deeper than a few feet. Great & very safe for families & children, but not ideal for someone who wants to get out into deeper water. To satisfy my athletic ocean interests I had to go to a different beach in Mo Bay.

Great resort

Friendly staff. Great food entertainment very clean and alacart was delicious. We stayed for seven days early December 2019. I would recommend this hotel and would stay again. The fish fry and jerk hut was very good.

Good resort

The hotel environment is very commercial, more like of a 3 star resort, but we enjoyed the water and the sun. We had to change the room, although we paid a premium for a deluxe rom with a front ocean view that was actualy partial view and with a toilet we had to ask to be repaird 3 times in two days. We ended up paying more to upgrade to a real front ocean view and no toilet problems. We expected inside restaurants to be included, but 4 out of 6 charged between 20 to 29 USD. Our Canadian [... read more] debit cards did not work and the trips were provided at a double price than the actual entrance fees with transportation included (we paid online 70 USD for Dolphin Cove instead of 129 USD advertised by Sunwings at the hotel, which is a little exagerated). When we booked on tripcentral, we saw different types of room than those defined by the hotel on their website. We still did not udnerstand what is the correspondence between all those 5 types of rooms on your site and the 2 types on Holiday Inn webste (standard and suite). We asked at the reception if we can accummulate points at holiday Inn, so we can start building up points, and we were given a form, but after we filled it in, they said they did not know who has it, so we do not know how to do it.

Great resort

Older hotel but very well kept Very clean Staff could be friendlier A la carte restaurants are excellent including service Buffet good variety Beech is nice Good activities are on site Tennis mini putt billiards etc.

Hotel review

Staying at the Holiday Inn Resort was amazing. We had a good time for the first 4 days. Our room was very clean and well kept. Staffs were very friendly and welcoming. Over all it was good. We both fell sick for the last three days. No sure what it was.

More than I had expected

I went to the resort not expecting much as it was inexpensive. I was totally surprised with the overall resort. It has great restaurants, a great jerk hut, above avg entertainment and the staff were great.

Great Atmosphere

The room was clean, the people there were very nice and helpful. It bothers me all the signs they have there saying what you cannot do. The pool closed at 6pm that make no sense. I enjoyed all the activities they have during the day and the night shows.

Great hotel

Amazing staying for 10 days: food delicious, beach very good, staff very helpful , property in good condition, also Italian restaurant the best in my family, weather very good and sea the best, close to airport

Great resort best bang for the buck

Furniture was a little worn but the resort was clean and lots of amenities. We plan to go back soon. Staff was friendly and helpful. The reception area underwhelms but the beach makes up for it. Food was good. Always one dish on buffet that was awesome.

Beautiful resort

An amazing hotel. Clean, well groomed. Beautiful pool. Great food. Entertainment was amazing. Staff very accodamating. Something to do for everyone. Time to go to holiday inn for your next holiday. Enjoy your trip

GREAT RESORT!

The hotel was nice and our room was spacious, just the bathroom a bit small and needs some minor renovations. The grounds are well kept they have an adult side to the beach and they have the family side which is nice to know. On the grounds they have about 3 or 4 different bar locations as well as a jerk chicken and jerk pork hut, and an ice cream, hotdogs and other finger food hut, they also have another hut for burgers and fries, fish and chips. The food is so good, some of these huts are  [... read more]late night spots for when your hungry after all the drinks you may have had. The staff are great, believe it or not they remembered my name and I found that to excellent. The hotel has a main dinning room as well as about 5 or 6 fine dining restaurants on location and the food is excellent in all of them as we tried all of them for dinner. The beach is very nice and clean and the hotel has a large spread of the beach, so there is beach for everyone if you want quiet you can find that as well as fun.

Awesome trip

The holiday inn sunspree was a very nice hotel. Rooms were a little dated but clean. The pool was nice overlooking the ocean. An awesome man made island that you could walk out to from the beach. Overall a very nice resort.

Very Good Resort

We had a fantastic vacation at the Holiday Inn, Montego Bay. Very clean, friendly staff. The food was good, lots of choices...you can never get hungry while at this resort. My only down side is that the AC was very noisy during the night, took me a while to fall asleep. Because of the noisy AC I will only give it 4 stars.

Best Trip Thus Far!!!!

I had a great time in all areas of the resort my only complaint would be is I thought I would get a better taste of jamaican dishes I really wanted to taste curry goat oxtail fish more seafood etc. Other then the food the hospitality was out of this world the best people I have ever met extremely caring funny and generous if I could have remembered everyone I would mention them all but in a nutshell they ALL do their jobs great 100% great!!!!!

Amazing resort

The Holiday Inn Resort in Montego Bay is an amazing place to go for a vacation whether with family or friends. The food is excellent. Grounds are well maintained and so is the pool. They have a private island you can actually walk to. Rooms are clean. The dining room staff are the best friendly and helpful. On this trip we were 18 guests and 3 needed assistance and dining room staff were there to help bring their plates from the buffet. The only negative we all had my 18 guests about the hotel [... read more] staff is the bar section they need more training in customer service. My husband and I were there to renew our 30th wedding anniversary and it could not have been better. Our thanks to Nicole Deforest at Trip Central for helping us with booking and all extras we requested. Very helpful and patient agent.

You get what you pay for

I did not enjoy my stay, the bathroom was very tiny, the hotel smells and it was very old. We had to buy water and there was no fridge. The food was very limited, also the a/c was very loud. The hotel is located too close to the main road, the traffic was really loud, I don't think that your meals should be so close to the swimming pool it should be in a different area
