Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Not as good as it could be.

Resort grounds and rooms were as advertised. Worthy of 4-5 star. The staff was another story. Of course there are always great hard working people but I would say that this was not the majority. Major issue was the none stop offering to buy drugs of all kinds. I was even offered to buy drugs during a diner service. This was all done by staff member. For an all inclusive I have never been told so much that there was an extra charge of items.

Couples Tower Isle: great all inclusive

Well maintained Art Deco hotel from the 1950's. The original Couples resort still delivers. Beautiful beach although not a long one. Bed was very comfortable and the room was nice. We had an ocean view room and had breakfast on the balcony every day. Majority of meals at all the restaurants were very good. The beach party was great and all the nightly entertainment we saw was excellent. We were always able to find a shaded lounge chair on the beach and the place never felt crowded. Were  [... read more]able to partake in all of the watersports as well. The best part of Jamaica however is the people. Everyone working at the resort and the drivers/chauffeurs were very friendly and personable. Just wish it was a little closer to the airport.

Zoetry Montego Bay: Amazing Resort for Mature Couples

This is an excellent resort/spa for couples. The atmosphere is just amazing and relaxed. The food is remarkable. The menu changes everyday. The selection of food and drink is impeccable. Great place for honeymooners and mature couples. The price is appropriate for a boutique style resort. 49 rooms is just the perfect size.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Enjoyed our stay

Very clean! Awesome rooms! Family friendly. Did NOT know you can only eat in a restaurant only 3 times in your 7 night stay! We were stuck Having to eat from the buffet 4 nights eating the same foods. The staff always made you feel like You had to tip.

Riu Ocho Rios: Breathtaking

This Hotel/resort was breathtaking. Awesome. It superseded my expectations in every way. Our sunwing agent Karol and the entire team members were very very courteous too. If there was a change or question in regards to our flight or booking, it was addressed immediately. This form of communication gave me a great deal of peace of mind and satisfaction.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Amazing resort

Excellent resort, staff were very helpful, food was excellent . Enjoyed our excursion to blue mountain. The weather was hot but there was a lovely breeze. We hope to return in advance he next few years.

Riu Ocho Rios: Amazing!! No need to leave the hotel, it's all there!

Riu Ocho Rio is paradise with a cherry on top! The location is extremely clean, lots of spacious seating with the best entertainment and tasty food. Vacationing over the long weekend (National Heroes Day) and they incorporated elements that visitors could enjoy and be educated. The beach was clean and secluded with lots of seating and no vendors. I can't begin to say enough about the entertainment staff who were fun, energic and remembered faces. They went above and beyond to make your stay mem [... read more]orable and interactive. No need to leave the hotel, its all there! I definitely will be back and recommend to all.

Riu Negril: Lovely ,Relaxing resort

The rooms, grounds and restaurants where very clean. Staff was wonderful. Everyone friendly and helpful. It was nice to be in a resort where everyone spoke English. Entertainment was goodi have stayed in a Rui resort before and I would return again.

Riu Negril: RIU Negril

We really enjoyed our stay there. The grounds were clean and well kept. Rooms were large, well appointed and clean. Comfortable beds. Pools were great. Nice beach. The restaurants were good and we enjoyed the food in all of them.

Couples Negril: First Visit to Couples Negril

This was our first visit to Couples Negril. We went in early October 2022. We had a very early Tuesday flight out of Toronto (6:15 am departure with Sunwing). Our airport experience in Toronto was excellent, with very short lineups and the flight was on time. The Montego Bay airport was the same with us landing and we were at the shuttle bus on our way to the resort in well under an hour. The drive to Couples Negril is about 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. Arrived at the resort and were [... read more] greeted with some champagne and a cold towel while we checked in. Our room was not quite ready so we left our bags and went and had lunch and then went to the beach for a few hours then went and got our bags and room key. We had a garden view room in building 8 with a patio and a couple of chairs. The room was more than adequate with a comfortable bed and was kept very clean the entire week we stayed there. The A/C was cold, but adjustable with a remote control. We were only in the room to sleep and shower, the rest of the time we were out enjoying the resort. Lots of hot water and the room had the usual amenities that a hotel room has. Likes: The people who work at the resort. Very friendly and fun to visit with. We met and visited with lots of other people on the beach. The food was amazing everywhere we ate. Try the soups and step outside of your comfort zone with some of the meals. I did and was pleasantly surprised. The beach on Bloody Bay is very nice. Great for long walks and also great swimming. No water shoes required. Fun to watch all the activity while laying on a lounger or in for a swim. The water was so warm we spent most of our day just floating around. Mini Bar stocked in your room with full size bottles and mix. Coffee maker in the room. I am up early so I liked making a coffee and just sitting on the patio to start my day. The included watersports activities. These were very popular. Dislikes: I don't have much to add under the dislikes heading. I wish the drive was a bit shorter, but it is what it is. On the plus side, it is interesting seeing the local Jamaican life and scenery on the way out. Recommend this resort: Yes definitely Will we return: Yes definitely

Riu Reggae: Riu Reggae 3.5*

The Resort was a perfect size. Rooms were clean, staff was nice. Food was good, but would be better if they switched up the menus once in a while. It seem to be the same foods everyday. Plus the food was not hot, sometimes even cold. The Hotel Grounds were ok, they didn't pick up garbage in the gardens and grass often. Not pretty. They only cleaned the Beach/Pool washroom in the morning, so needless to say they were dirty and no toiled paper or hand soap. Everything else was kept fairly  [... read more]clean.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Wonderful Girls Getaway

We had an awesome week at the Luxury Bahia in Jamaica. The employees were very attentive and friendly providing excellent service. The food and pools were good. The resort could use some updating but was very clean. We would definitely return.

Jewel Grande Resort and Spa: Great service, wonderful staff

Booked this resort and attended with my family. Service and staff is absolutely wonderful. The resort however is a former complex of luxury condos that were converted few years ago due to not enough units selling. Seems like because of that a lot of the services are trying to be fit in like Tetris. The entertainment is right outside the main rooms building (Sentry) and if you turn down a bit earlier then the noise will bother you. Even with the doors closed the rooms do not have a good sound bar [... read more]rier. You can hear everything sadly. In terms of food, the in room service is fairly quick. Restaurants are clean and decent. The buffet however is still being served by staff due to covid which is nice but a bit annoying as you have to wait to be served. There are two pools, fairly clean and large and the resort was not too busy. The beach however is very small and has a a lot of sea grass. I've stayed at other resorts in MBJ that have nicer beaches.

Riu Palace Jamaica: Very poor beach

Beach certainly wasn’t how it looked in their pictures. Very rocky on the way to the beach and only 15 feet of shallow water before you get to the muck. That was only the bad part other than the weather. Food, service and staff we all top notch. Room was good with a large shower area. Very close to the airport.

Riu Negril: Fantasy Island

Entire hotel experience was just as expected , superb.Grounds were very well cared for and groomed regularly. All but the beach which was horrible. Not used to that , but mother nature had something to do with that. Beach was eventually cleaned up the day before we came home. Room was cleaned daily and had zero issues Bed was excellent as well. Food was on another level as buffets were something from Fantasy Island. With multiple selections of everything , twice daily. Only had 1.5 days of  [... read more]rain thankfully. We will definetly be coming back to this resort. Highly recommend it.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: It was nice to get away after three years of being isolated

The resort needs some work external painting etc. our bathroom leak water from the shower and from the ceiling the vault was broken when we arrived they ran out of shampoo The Dining Rooms we’re good beach is very poor with the exception of the grand Bahia the beach at the luxury didn’t exist I was hoping more variety at the buffets as I’m used to pre-covid the bars at the luxury didn’t have the premium liquors and beer I was expecting that

Riu Ocho Rios: Everything you Need

The Riu Ocho Rios is a perfect blend of everything you need to have a perfect vacation. Food is plentiful and flavourful, staff are happy and fun, beach is large and entertainment leaves you with with wholesome laughter. Glow party is a MUST!!

Catalonia Montego Bay: Great resort

This resort while yes it is older, it is cosier and friendlier than the the big boxy hotels. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The hotel is gradually being renovated and the rooms that are finished are great. We had an ocean front room in building 5 and it was perfect. Two large comfortable beds, plenty of towels and water daily. The fridge was great and the air conditioning worked quietly and efficiently.The room was cleaned every day. The restaurants, beach and all activities were within  [... read more]easy reach of our room. Plenty of choices for food and while everything wasn’t to our taste there was always plenty to choose from. The beach is cleaned every day and there are plenty of lounges. Snorkelling was great and the water was so warm you could swim all day. The grounds of the hotel are lovely and perfectly maintained. Masks were mandatory in the restaurants and when getting food from the buffet. The staff all wore masks and were constantly sanitizing public areas. We would go back to this resort anytime.

Riu Montego Bay: Terrible resort

Very disappointed. Staff were unfriendly. Food was terrible. Same thing eery day lunch and dinner. All fried food. Over spiced. No real selections. 3 days of no rolls or fresh bread. Very little to choose from salad bar fruits and deserts. Entertainment poor. Nothing to do there. Beach was poor

Couples Negril: Couples Negril, Amazing resort

Tremendous upkeep, always someone cleaning, washing and sweeping the grounds. The rooms were clean and neat and had house keeping every day. The food was amazing, didn’t matter which restaurant we ate in. Great entertainment, not every night but when there was, the performers, singers were of extremely professional abilities and quite enjoyable. The staff assist with everything, wanting their guests to enjoy their vacation as a vacation without having to do anything but enjoy themselves.
