We were looking forward to a 4 day getaway. What we endured was far from ANY possible definition of acceptable. After only hours, we attempted to find other accommodations~ but we were not successful. We are familiar with other Caribbean resorts-and this was the worst ever.
From the moment we entered the doors of the Breezes facility, we were overwhelmed at the filth of the hotel and the overwhelming moldy odour. Floors were dirty, and a grimy film seemed to envelope the walls and the outdated f[... read more]urniture- with the furniture actually feeling sticky to the touch. We ventured out to the pool area where the filthy conditions continued. The pool was literally empty- except for the sea gulls--and it is no wonder. Although we arrived early morning, the pool, which seemed in disrepair as it was missing tiles, was not clean. Bacteria foam was gathering at the side of the pool and a dense oil slick covered the surface. The beach area was passable~ with seaweed and seagulls being an issue. The “Entertainment Staff" was poor, as they entertained non-banded “friendsâ€- all day long as they sat on picnic tables ignoring the guests. Initially, our room was visually acceptable. We were momentarily relieved that we could retreat to our room, until we realized that a moldy odor was prevalent- with mold visible in many areas- including walls, vents, closets and the blackened clothesline string in the bathroom. We had anticipated the dampness caused by humidity and air conditioning- but the mold was a major concern.Food was fair at best. We tried the fare at the “specialty†restaurants with no better experience. We should have realized that the dining experience would be a negative one- as once again- the restaurants were empty. We drank very little, as again, the island drink dispensers didn't appear to be clean and were often covered in insects. Entertainment was sadly lacking. Even the promised music poolside was missing and the evening entertainment was terrible. The advertised activities associated with Breezes were unavailable. We wanted to snorkel; however, we were told people stole the equipment- so it wasn’t available. Of course, there was someone willing to sell equipment to us. The final insult arrived the last day. Not given the opportunity to have our luggage secured in a holding area, we opted for a “holding room†(Room 215) at additional expense to ourselves. This room was beyond belief-the stench of bleach and mold was overpowering and it was filthy. I should mention that the check in staff, cleaning staff and some security staff were very friendly and pleasant- but they are the only positive thing I can say about this vacation. Spend the extra and go to Atlantis!!
We were so relieved when our airport shuttle arrived !!

Memories Jibacoa: Just okay
Everything was clean and tidy, the people were friendly but not overly so, the beach was ok. I was happy to enjoy a little tennis while I was there. Overall it was disappointing, the beach wasn't very swimmable.

Breezes Bahamas: Breezes Bahamas just fine
I have been to Breezes twice. Its not 5 star but it is a great getaway if you are not stuck on new fancy rooms. I went each time when the price was a steal and I will go again when I see a great deal..if its some beach and a getaway you want its great, if its 5 star rooms you want don't.

Royalton Negril Resort And Spa: boring
This is a resort for older people for sure, my husband and I are 27 and there was only two other couples our age. They don't have much entertainment at night and the Buffett isn't open every night so your stuck with the same gross al la cartes. There ARE dress codes for all the restaurants so if ur casual people like my husband and I , the workers will give u a hard time about what ur wearing, ie. no exposed arms for men, Which is so weird. We got denied going into most al la carte because we on[... read more]ly brought casual clothes, even tho the al la carte are so ghetto. so we had to eat at the grill most every night or order room service which was pretty awful. If u want a fun party resort, this is not the place for you. I would not go back.
