Princess Senses the Mangrove: 10 out of 10 resort

Have travelled extensively throughout the Caribbean and Jamaica and this resort is 2nd to none. The grounds are immaculate, accommodations are large clean and every room has an ocean or pool view (stayed on the Mangrove/Adults side). The resort was at 85% - 90% occupancy and never seemed busy. Always plenty of chairs at the pools, no line ups at the buffets and loved the food selection. No reservations required for the Ala Carte restaurants (expect for one), which was great. The real differen [... read more]ce here, is the staff who are so pleasant and welcoming. Will be back next year for sure.

Fun Holiday Beach Resort: Simple, yet amazing !

Spent 7 days at Fun Holiday , and with all the research we did, it was exactly expected. We aren't into the whole 5 star thing anymore as we like to experience real culture. This little hotel gave us that , and then some. The food was good , although a small selection... we were never hungry and there are a tonne of good spots to eat 10 min each way up and down the beach. Take a trip to the grocery store 10 min away and grab some booze incase they run out and you'll be good! Also we didn't [... read more] use the pool , but why would you when there's a gorgeous beach ? 10/10 view of the ocean 10/10 staff 8/10 food/drink 7/10 room conditions My only complaint is that the bed wasn't comfortable, no box spring , the bed just sat on a metal frame. The bathroom fixtures were out dated and a bit raggity, but who cares ... everything worked fine! Overall experience 9/10 Would definitely return

Couples Sans Souci: Can’t wait to go back

From the moment we got to the Couples lounge we were promptly greeted, bags looked after, shuttle to hotel was comfortable, we were treated so well the entire trip! Our room was perfect, food was amazing. Shout out to our amazing house keeper in D block Ivaney, she kept our room so organized and clean and was so kind to us. Shout out to Taj at the beach grill for cooking up awesome meals and teaching us about Jamaican cuisine and culture. Thanks Couples we will be back

Ocean Coral Spring: Good choice

Over all I was happy with the choice of this resort. The al le cart restaurants were all really good but they booked up really fast. The market buffet had alot of variety but it was the same food every day. It would had been nice if they changed it up. The rooms were clean. The pools were nice. The entertainment was fine.

Riu Ocho Rios: Pros and cons

Pros Beautiful grounds Beautiful beach Beautiful rooms Excellent friendly staff Close to Ochos Rios Close to excursions Requests for room service are honored promptly Cons One very overpriced shop Tiny busy buffet with poor selection

Couples Swept Away: Absolutely Swept Away

We had a wonderful vacation at Couples Swept Away Negril for seven wonderful days. The people, the grounds, the accommodations and of course the beach were amazing. I would highly recommend this resort and will book again in the future.

Couples Tower Isle: Fantastic Resort

Couples Tower resort is a great size for getting around. It’s not too large and doesn’t feel like it’s overcrowded. The resort bars, restaurant (breakfast, lunch and buffet dinners) have good ocean side views. The ala-cart restaurants that require reservations were really good, good food and options on menu. All water activities are included with resort (so no fees!) The rooms could use a facelift with headboards and furniture as it’s older and made room smell moldy. The balcony view of ga [... read more]rdens were very cool and private, kinda like a rain forest, very picturesque and tranquil. The beach is small but water is clear and good swimming and snorkeling.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Beautiful

This was a quick 5 day vacation to start our 25 year anniversary celebrations. Room was ready at 3pm as stated when we booked. The resort had just reopened from hurricane damage 5 days before we arrived. There are still some hiccups to work out but that being said it is a beautiful resort with very friendly helpful staff. Lamar and crazy leg are the men to see for beach volleyball twice a day. They are quite the entertainers. Rooms are very large and clean. This was only our 2nd time at a resor [... read more]t as we usually book air B&Bs and do our own vacation. But it was quite nice to just sit back relax and just take it all in. I think if I was to do an all inclusive again this resort would probably be top of my choices.

Couples Negril: Perfect Vacation Destination for Couples

We love this resort as it is small and we don't have to fight crowds at the restaurants. The food is amazing and the service is top notch. The beach is spacious with plenty of shady spots and you can walk a long distance down the beach past other resorts. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed the water aerobics but there are also lot's of watersports, activities and outings included. Special perks for repeat customers are available as well. It was the perfect get away!

Couples Negril: Return visit to Couples Negril

We had another enjoyable stay at Couples Negril. Our journey started with nothing but problems (delayed flight, lost Club Mobay order, missing luggage), and when we arrived at the resort 3 hours later than expected, we were placed in the only Beachfront Suite, ground floor room we asked not to be placed in, 9108 - the closest room to the nude beach. Reception was quick to rectify that and we were moved 2 days later to room 5107, the furthest in the opposite direction, near the boat and diving  [... read more]rentals. We loved this room! Many staff recalled us from our visit the year prior. It felt like coming home. The weather wasn't the best in the afternoons, but mornings were fantastic. We love that this resort has everything you need mere steps away. You need only dress up a little for one restaurant and for the rest it is dress casual - that's refreshing while on vacation. The beach and pools are always clean. Food was disappointingly average this year, but we really enjoyed the lobster at end of lobster season (Mar 31). In one instance a jerk chicken sandwich we ordered at lunch could not be obtained as they were out of chicken! At dinner one night, after the meal, we wanted chocolate mousse but the tray was empty and when we enquired, they were all out! We did encounter one waitress at lunch who should not have been there; she was quite rude, but other than that and those points outlined above that had nothing to do with the resort, it was a great trip.

Sunset at the Palms: Great Return Visit

Another great return visit to Sunset at the Palms. Resort is small, friendly and inviting! Beach is fantastic, you can’t beat the Negril beaches. The wonderful staff keep us returning for multiple trips. ♥️

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Beautiful Beach!

Overall, the hotel grounds and rooms were lovely - well appointed, modern and clean. We felt safe and comfortable. The staff overall was accommodating and friendly. The entertainment staff was exceptional (not sure if any of them ever sleep!). The beach was an absolute 10/10. There are a few things that could be improved: (1) the food was average at best for a palace resort. The breakfast options were probably the most enjoyable, but for the most part the overall food were consistently th [... read more]e same for all meal times (no theme days or anything like that). The best lunch option was at the Jerk Hut for authentic Jamaican jerk chicken and sides - delicious!; (2) the reservation process for the a la carte restaurants is a bit clunky. Many people complained about it (2 seating times: either 6:30 or 8:15 and they get scooped fast), and sad to say but overall the a la carte restaurants weren’t very good. There were some really good cocktail and mocktail options though! (3) if you’re not an early riser, be prepared to get up pretty early (by 6-6:30am) to find a good spot on the beach - it’s the best place to spend the day! Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this resort because we all have different opinions! Suitable for friends, families and couples alike!

Ocean Coral Spring: Great Resort - Small but has everything

Our visit started off rocky when we paid for a Ocean view room and were asked to wait until after 3:00 to check in (totally fine) but once we got into the room it was overlooking a junkyard with the ocean in the back. The room itself had broken off doors and the safe did not work / locked our items inside. We left to go to dinner and speak with front desk about these issues and upon our return we noticed that our room had been turned down but the door was left open, leaving all our stuff vulnera [... read more]ble. After reporting to staff at the front desk again (who were incredibly hostile) we were told they would find us another room after we repeatedly asked to change, to any type of room. We just wanted to feel safe. They kept repeating they would change us the following day after rooms had been cleaned after check out. Instead, they called our room at 11:00PM when we were sleeping and told us the call was being recorded and that they had offered us a room and we were declining. I repeatedly told them we were not declining, but that we would move first thing in the morning as the other guests were asleep after a long day of travel. The next morning we went back to front desk and new staff were super kind and helpful and got us the promised room. We were able to move over. After that the trip went smoothly and we really enjoyed the resort, which is on the smaller side, and all it had to offer. Gorgeous place but our time was tainted but the initial check in day which was wasted just trying to get some help with the various issues with our room and staffs hostility.

Couples Negril: Great as we remember

A bit dated but superbly well kept. Nothing is ever not functioning or broken as they keep things perfect at all times. There are newer and marble filled room etc… but what makes this resort stand out is the VIBE. It is chill, calm and fun a g the same time. Small in size, food is good and the people there looking after us guests are friendly and pleasant. This was our second time there and it was exactly like we remember it back in 2019. Not a party place, but enough to keep busy if you t [... read more]ake part in all activities throughout the day. No stress in finding lounge chairs on beach or around the pool. There is always availability no matter when you are looking for one so no need to get up early to find a lounger. As I mentioned, it’s just a nice calm and chill resort with good food, great service and just plain chill vibe.

Riu Montego Bay: Amazing resort.

The grounds were well groomed and beautiful. Food was fantastic and plentiful. Entertainment was amazing. Rooms were very clean and had a week stocked fridge. Pool was a fun time. All and all it was a fantastic time with friends.

Riu Ocho Rios: Fantastic Resort

I would like to start off by saying that this is my second time at this resort. The resort is beautiful, the staff is very friendly and kind. I would like to suggest that maybe the resort could consider getting golf carts to bring the guests to either ends of the resort because it is very big. I would also like to suggest maybe doing theme nights at the buffet restaurant.

Riu Ocho Rios: Great Resort

The Hotel was Fantastic.....a bit large and would prefer to book a smaller hotel, there were a lot of people and at full capacity at times the buffet looked like a school cafeteria....all in we had a great time

Couples Swept Away: Great experience

Everything about the resort was great. The biggest highlights: -The service was fantastic. Guests are always taken care of, everyone is beyond friendly. -Food was great. We ate at each restaurant, but the buffet was the clear winner. Always great options, fresh food, etc. -Beach is fantastic. Very clean, and there was always a spot to lay down -Cats on the resort were a big highlight

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Very good resort

This resort is good value for the money. It's a bit of a smaller resort, only one pool and the walkable beach front is limited, maybe .5 km. The beach itself is clean and well maintained. Like most Caribbean destinations there are issues with seaweed but the Iberostar staff were on it daily. Our swimming area was mostly free of seaweed. We spent all our time at the beach but the pool area was well used and is nice with swim up bar. Staff are terrific and the food was above average at this p [... read more]rice point. Our room was good, showing signs of use but overall ok.
