Princess Senses the Mangrove: Huge resort with exceptional staff.

The hotel was amazing. Lots of fantastic restaurants, amazing coffee shops and bars. Entertainment staff were very friendly and engaging. Beach was not natural, but nice to look at. Not great for swimming. Luckily there are endless pools. Really felt at home and would definitely go back.

Ocean Coral Spring: Great time again

This is our 2nd time vacationing at Ocean Coral Springs. We were there in 2023 and now just last week March 2026. We purchased the Privileged package with an Ocean Front room. My husband and I have been to many resorts over our 39 years together and this was the 1st time we went back a 2nd time and we'll definitely go back again. The food was fantastic everywhere we ate. The staff were very professional and friendly. We were greeted with smiles and well wishes from everyone we met. The grounds  [... read more]and our room were kept clean and safe. The beach is small and rocky so beach shoes are a must and we found it wasn't being kept as clean as the grounds were. The pool is huge and very clean and the lazy river was a blast. Other then that our stay was very relaxing enjoyable.

Riu Ocho Rios: Great Trip - Riu Ocho Rios

Food was the best I ever had. Sun every day and hot. Rained 5 minutes our last day. Resort was clean and the drinks were good. Nicest workers we have ever had at a resort. No vendors bugging you. Never did any excursions. Only wish the beach was longer as we usually walk the beach every day. Definitely a resort we would go back too.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Rose Hall Iberostar Jamaica

This was our 3 rd time to this resort and it never disappoints. Staff are super friendly especially entertainment and kitchen staff . We brought a lot of people with us this was their first time but they all seemed to enjoy it a lot as well . Would return there for sure highly recommended it .

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Nice resort

People mentioned it was under construction however it didn’t seem to show much. The grounds people were working hard to clean it up and planting new flowers and trees. The rooms were very big and clean but nothing extra special about them. Sunset cove was amazing! The pool was huge, clean and well maintained. Food was average we definitely never went hungry.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Absolutely Amazing!

We had a great week at the Runaway Bay Bahia Principe Resort. The accommodations were very clean, bright and roomie. The meals were delicious and there was lots of variety. We loved it - can’t say enough about the great time we had!

Riu Montego Bay: Could not ask for more!!!

My wife Joy, and I just returned from RIU Montego Bay on the 25th of February 2026 after a relaxing and top notch resort. This resort is only 10 minutes from Montego Bay airport and is in emasculate condition, considering Jamaica had recently been hit by a massive hurricane. The only way on the resort that indicated it had been hit by the hurricane was that the palm trees were missing some leaves everything was up and running at top speed. All of the restaurants and the buffet had excellent men [... read more]us, great selections and excellent service at them all. We were able to eat at the Stake restaurant twice during our 7 day stay and the 10 once stake was the best meal possible. All of the bars served you quickly and orderly making sure you were looking after as quickly as possible. The entertainment staff did a magnificent job and kept things hopping including talking to us and expanding how they weathered the hurricane and keeping guests safe during it . A big shout out to Allison and Suzy from the entertainment gang that provided our fun times and also Kiara at front desk who kept us informed and was able to answer any questions we might have. Both Me and my wife are Rui members and were able to check into Rui resorts before arriving and because Joy has mobility issues we had requested certain buildings and floors before arriving. WOW. Whoever is in charge of the room placement nailed it on the head !!!!! We could not be more pleased with our room placement, Ground floor and very short walks to the pools, bar and Pepsi outside lunch restaurant!! Rui out did yourselves and made our stay the BEST ever. Also the packages of Blue Mountain coffee from both Tripcentral and the Front desk were much appreciated This has been one of the best Rui resort we have been to and we will definitely be back soon. Thanks again ??? Paul and a Joy Roberts

Couples Tower Isle: Just what we were looking for!

This resort is older and smaller than the " hotels on a beach" type so everything was close and convient. Beautiful room although not a lot of time spent in it! Balcony overlooking the pool and ocean was fantastic. (We paid extra for premium ocean view which was worth it imo. We are seniors so not interested in the party/nightlife scene but enjoyed the early entertainment - music - every night. Food was great! Grounds well kept. All in all a great trip was had!

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: A great vacation

The Hotel was beautiful. The grounds were kept well. The staff were exceptional and the food was so good. Unfortunately our room was clean but there was a musty smell, but we just slept there so it was tolerable.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: A great hotel

I haven't been to an all inclusive for a few years. I was very impressed with the all inclusive bracelets - never having to remember your key. Loved the water dispensary. The hotel was very clean, the staff - outstanding . However, I didn't understand the crazy spa prices and having to pay for pinot grigio. Loved the pools and location. Loved Jamaica night set outside on the beach. Definitely a 5 star.

Riu Ocho Rios: Amazing people and food

Our room was always cleaned and tidy with amazing towel decorating. Always enough towels packed and tidy amazing room service.I enjoyed long walks in the mornings quite and always clean. I was very surprised to see attendance mopping the outside walkway. The sports bar coffee and drinks early was great but service way to long my main disappointment they need another place for at least coffee alone. But there late nite patties were great. The buffet for all three meals offered the best tasting f [... read more]oods and choices. The Italian was ok the Steak house was horrible thier food was the worst but the service was excellent the servers made it fun. The entertainment was the best i ever experienced all 7 nights that we were there. Didn't like the white party it was to packed the beach was a blast. The pool were cold and one level but the beach was awesome so we stayed in the beach all day i missed beach service drinks although the two bar were reasonably close by. I have no comments on the two swim up bar cause my group of 18 persons we had kids with us and those were no kids zone but that not what keep us out it was the nice beach. I being to cruises,Dominican,Cuba, Mexico ,Tobago and this was my 3rd trip to Jamaica. But this one was special and it's the only place I say I will definitely go back just my wife and I we loved it. Thanks to all the hardworking servers, cleaners, bars and the best the entertainment crew the most dedicated talented and warm loving people. Thanks all we had a great experience.

Riu Palace Jamaica: Amazing resort

Stayed a week ago! Great food, friendly staff and lots of activities. Really enjoyed my staff and hope to be back soon! Shout out to Archer and Winston for making excellent cocktails and for the housekeeping staff who work hard to keep rooms clean. Can’t forget DJ Unstoppable and String Bean holding down the entertainment,

Sandals Ochi Beach Resort: Sandals Ochi

The grounds are exceptional. It is a huge property and every bit of it is filled with. Beautiful gardens. Our Villa was much more than we expected. Many restaurants to choose from, cleanliness throughout.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: OK Resort, Definitely not 5 star

We left Canada early in the morning and arrived at the resort in the afternoon, Check in took an hour and a bit, but we were a large group of newly arrived guests. The bus from the airport was full. Our check in experience was interesting- we did not get our previously requested ground floor room right away, we were assigned a 3rd floor room, but after TIPPING the front desk agent, a room suddenly became available. As a former manager at an international hotel chain, I found this interesting.  [... read more] We missed the lunch buffet due to the lengthy check-in, and the dinner buffet was not open yet but we were all incredibly hungry since we hadn't eaten since 6am. After check in, we were driven in a cart to our room with our luggage. The driver was polite and brought our bags to our room for us. pointed out features of the room ( building 35 Lady Hamilton side). We were then directed to the Sports Bar for food until the buffet opened. That was a mistake - the sports bar buffet was empty, and when they brought food to replenish the buffet, it was enough for 2 or 3 guests, not the 30 people who were all starving. There were French fries and some old hotdogs. We also ordered burgers for the 4 of us at our table in the Sports Bar, but it took 75 minutes for our food to arrive. 75 minutes for our order is UNACCEPTABLE. The hotel knows there are guests arriving from flights, they know the arrival times as they repeat weekly, and they know that the Sports Bar is recommended to bus loads of guests as a food option until the buffet opens. There should be some coordination between the front desk and the sports bar staff so that adequate amounts of food is readily available for arriving guests. If guests waited 75 minutes for food from the restaurant in the hotel I was a manager at, both the restaurant and front desk managers would be reprimanded or dismissed. The resort on Lady Hamilton side is older and tired. The floor tile was cracked in the bathroom, paint drips were dried on the floor from whenever they last painted, the toilet area was incredibly small. You could bump your head on the wall in front of the toilet just getting up after using it, the wall is so close. The towel supply was adequate on the first day only. We had 4 bath towels, 2 face cloths, 2 hand towels, a bath mat and a black make- up removal facecloth. Every day after more towels disappeared and were not replaced despite tipping and leaving requests for towels and a bath mat on a note. We ended our stay with only 2 bath towels and one hand towel that we used as a bath mat. The hair dryer worked fine, the safe was also in working order. Other guests in our group did not have working TV’s. The jacuzzi tub didn't look clean so we did not use it. The overall cleanliness of the room was questionable - the make up mirror was spotted and was not cleaned during our stay. The small toilet area floor smelled, and I left a note asking for the floor to be washed. My best guess is that urine was in the grout, and the heat and humidity made it smell like urine. The floors were washed on the day my note was received and it improved the situation. We know the floors were washed because they were still wet when we returned to the room in the afternoon. Our room overlooked the main walkway, and the patio was nice. Nothing special but it was nice with 2 chairs a table and a drying rack (broken). The sliding door was old and you had to position it just right to lock it. the curtains were stained and old and had sun-rot. The sleeper sofa was a hard-foam fold out. Definitely not something you'd expect in this caliber of resort. We did not need to use it, but just sitting on the hard vinyl-covered foam was uncomfortable. The air conditioning was not nearly adequate. The setting would not allow the temp to be adjusted cooler. It was set at 25C/77F. The air conditioner had an automatic shut off - 1. by motion sensor and 2. a sensor when the patio door opened. If there was no one in the room, the air conditioner turned off, which made the room hot and stuffy, especially at night when you slept. No motion, no air. Buffet- the food was adequate and nothing special, the temperature of the food sitting in trays at all the meals would not pass the Canadian Food Safety/ Health Inspection, (but thankfully we did not get sick) The only hot food was when it was prepared in front of you. Scrambled eggs were room temperature, bacon was slightly warm under the red heat lamp, pancakes were refrigerator-cold, French toast was refrigerator-cold, Potatoes and rice were room temperature. The crepes were freshly made so they were hot and actually very good. We liked the lovely woman who made the crepes, she was very kind. The fruit was disappointing- watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple and honeydew melon, bananas, apples, oranges slices. The melons were mostly hard and not ripe. More fruit varieties would have been nice. The juice dispensers were disgusting - it came out thick like pudding, because the juice had settled. (I have photos of the juice/pudding) It was not changed during the shift, and fresh- squeezed juice was not available. The orange juice we asked for from our server was not fresh. It tasted like orange flavored crystals they mix with water, or an orange flavoured drink from a box or can. The desserts were gelatin based - the dessert labeled cheesecake had gelatin in it, creamy mousse desserts were made with gelatin. The cake and the donuts on the dessert buffet were good. The bread items were good, the yellow buns were delicious as well as the coconut buns in a warm glaze. The best hot entrees were the roast pork and the roast beef. I did speak up to another guest one morning at breakfast, they approached the buffet with a plate of scrambled eggs just after I served myself, and she scraped her plate of eggs back into the tray of scrambled eggs on the buffet. There was no attendant in sight at this time. I took it upon myself to tell the guest that she was NOT ALLOWED to scrape her plate back into the fresh food, and she became defensive and defiant, saying she didn't touch it, she just changed her mind after going to her table. I told her it was against food safety standards to put food back that she had already taken to her table. I stood at the egg station, turning other guests away from the tray of scrambled eggs, explaining what happened until a staff member finally came out from the back-kitchen. I told them what the guest did. The attendant didn't quite believe me until I insisted they remove the tray and I pointed to the dirty plate the guest left sitting on the buffet counter. The resort Really Needs to Be Sure there are attendants at each station at all times, or only allow the attendants to serve the guests. How many others have done this? I did see many people eating bacon or other foods with their hands as they also helped themselves to different foods on the buffet. No one asked guests to hold off eating until they returned to their tables. Yuck. Pool and bar area- The pool water temperature was colder than expected. We did swim but it was uncomfortable - maybe because it was February and the water had not warmed up in the sun. Pool seemed clean. There were a lot of available pool chairs, and we enjoyed the visits from the cats that live on the property. The resort should and could do more for the cats who live on the property- I believe from a post on Facebook that they just agreed (March 2026) to conduct a spay and neuter veterinarian clinic for the cats. The pool bar on the west side of the pool was "ok". They did serve a jerk chicken lunch daily which was nice. The bartender was not very attentive when we would ask for drinks. He ignored me one day completely and I finally spoke up and said “I’m not invisible- it was my turn in line” but he served 3 guests a young man, and 2 bikini-wearing young ladies ) who came to the bar after me. I was pretty vocal in my statement and walked away. He did track me down to where I was seated by the pool and apologized. After that incident, our group of 17 friends mostly just used the server who came around to the area where we were sitting. He missed out on all of our tips. The app- it is not user friendly to book restaurant reservations, we ended up going to the front desk to book. The a-la-carte restaurants were alright. We ate at the Mexican restaurant, the Indian restaurant, the Japanese teppanyaki and the Poseidon seafood restaurant. We enjoyed the show and food at the Japanese teppanyaki, and the Indian restaurant's butter chicken was delicious. Service was prompt at all of the a-la-cartes. The seafood restaurant was only ok - the salad bar and the entree's were basically the same selection, only the salad bar seafood was cold and the same food was cooked for the entree. Local seafood options would have made it much better. We did NOT like that they offered to sell us lobster at an extra cost. When we pay for an all inclusive resort, we expect everything to be “all inclusive”, not have items offered at an additional cost. The upper bar above the pool was a nice place to sit in the evening. The sunset views were beautiful. We REALLY enjoyed the live entertainment/music, but the chairs and tables are worn out. some were missing cushions, and had stains. Some nights there was not enough seating for everyone. We didn’t find the shows at the theatre as good as the live music at the bar, They tried but the shows were not our thing. One of the problems was that the music from the theatre show could be heard at the upper level outdoor bar, while there was a musician trying to play. The sound travelled across the pool patio and interfered with the musician. Maybe having the live musician set up straight across from the main bar upstairs or on Miss Lou’s side would have helped? Miss Lou's coffee bar was the BEST spot on the resort. The sandwiches were fresh and tasty, the coffee drinks were amazing, the desserts were delicious, staff was friendly, and I wish we knew it was an option as a place to eat on the day we arrived instead of being directed to the Sports Bar, It may have changed the overall impression we had of the resort from Day 1. We will not go back to this resort. We heard the Iberostar Rose Hall was nicer and they have a cat sanctuary for the cats that live on their property. That is a huge positive for us. Our thoughts are that if a resort cares for the cats, they will most likely care for the guests.

Ocean Coral Spring: Ocean Coral Spring

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ocean Coral Spring Resort in Falmouth Jamaica. The rooms were lovely, the food in all the restaurants we went to, was delicious and well presented. The staff were very courteous and knowledgeable. They were quick to ask if anything was needed. The pool and activities kept us busy and moving, the grounds were lovely. We would recommend more ambient lighting on the walkways near the pool area for the evenings. Unfortunately the beach was a little disappointing [... read more] in that you couldn’t walk the beach long distances and the water was weedy. Staff collected weeds on the beach but it appeared that it might be a never ending battle to keep them at bay. One afternoon we enjoyed the Lazy River. The evening shows were entertaining and very well done. All in all, this resort was amazing and we had a great time, I would strongly recommend this resort to family and friends.

Ocean Coral Spring: Amazing Resort

I loved this resort. The proximity from the rooms to the pool to the bars and restaurants was awesome! You didnt have to walk a mile from your room to get anywhere or pack a bag for the day because the room was so far away. The pool was huge. Lots of bars and restaurants. Everything was very clean. Newer buildings with modern amenities. One of the best parts was "Mikes" coffee shop. Basically a Starbucks for free opened early closed late. Pastries in the morning, snacks for afternoon and [... read more] night. The lobby was beautiful and had piano players a few of the nights. The buffet was amazing with themed nights. Tons of variety and lots of small extras such as mint at the tea station. Everything was so carefully thought of. Everything was great! Only downfall which we didnt really mind was the beach. It wasnt great but we never spend much time at the beach. I would definitely go back or try a resort under the same brand.

Ocean Coral Spring: One of the best!

The whole resort is amazing but the beach is not very good. It was hard to get lounge chairs in the shade around the pool. The food is amazing. There was always something for everyone. The Cafe was really special. Service very good.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Amazing resort!

This hotel was so nice, perfect size. The service was impeccable, the grounds were clean. There weren't any lines at the buffet or at the bars. They had turn down service. The beach was beautiful. The only complaint is the vendors on the beach. They are a bit annoying but respectful. The food was amazing.

Samsara Cliff Hotel: A special place

Relatively small hotel, quiet, peaceful. Important information: No classic beach. Instead, a great access to the water from small cliffs. Step ladders mounted to the cliff walls. Crystal clear water, excellent snorkeling. One larger swimming pool and two smaller ones. A very homey small restaurant. Excelled food, all simple, Jamaican dishes cooked on the spot by a mamma type chef, batch by batch. Everything super fresh. This means sometimes you must wait few minutes until it is ready.  [... read more]The wine is not included in all-inclusive, but available for cash. There is a free shuttle bus to Legends hotel (7min drive), which has a traditional, shallow and sandy beach. Also great water. Accommodation - nothing too fancy, but absolutely sufficient. At the price tag $2000 per person per week this is a bit too expensive for the value, but I met people there who managed to get the same for smaller amounts. Well, there is another building (newer, I think) with more luxurious rooms. I do not know the costs of those.
