Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Pretty nice resort..!!!

Generally all area’s are good layout and conveniently situated, Staff were all very helpful, We had big downpour, It was handled professionally and fast, We went on two excursions 1- Dunn’s river Falls —worth the price And 2- Blue mountain with Bike ride, originally we thought the price was high - It was Amazing for the price

Riu Ocho Rios: Wonderful staff

Beautiful resort. The rooms are kept very clean, the housekeeping was extremely thorough and found the perfect balance between keeping my things organized and maintaining boundaries with my personal belongings. The staff was extremely welcoming and the entertainment at night was very good. The pool and beach areas were also kept very clean. There’s a separate pool in a secluded area of the resort for kids so while kids are allowed in the other pools it’s not overwhelming. The staff was reall [... read more]y friendly and always checked in to make sure we were satisfied. Ocho Rios is a little bit of a drive from the airport, just over an hour but it’s a short drive away from the dolphin cove and Dunn’s river falls. The food was absolutely amazing! Zero complaints. There’s a variety of restaurants to choose from and the buffet consistently has your favourites if you’re not adventurous but offers other different meats and proteins to choose from each day.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Luxury Bahia Principe Runaway Bay

Hotel, A La Carte restaurants and the Buffet restaurants were good. Room was OK but far from lobby. It was tough getting a reservation at the restaurants located at the Grand Bahia Principe hotel at Runaway Bay. Restaurants were easy getting reservation at restaurants located at Adults portion of the hotel. Pool was excellent and the beach was OK. I would go again.

Riu Montego Bay: Good value

Grounds well kept, good choice at the buffet restaurant but frustrating trying to get dinner at Japanese and or Italian. The fact that the later are closed 2 days during the week leaves very little time to enjoy. Rooms are clean and spacious. Lots of lounge chairs. Montego bay is not recommended if you are going for the beaches. They are man made and dirty brownish color. Remember the airport is 15 minutes away...... so the noise can be annoying sometimes.

Sandals Dunn's River: Great resort. Great food

Everything was very clean and well kept. Staff were excellent. Food was great and it was very relaxing. Very quiet resort which and relaxing pace. All staff spoke great English and were very helpful. No pushy people trying to sell you stuff either.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Typically very good Riu resort.

Everything was excellent, as is to be expected at Riu. The resort is clean and well laid-out. The staff was friendly, caring, polite and hard working. The room was very good and well located. The staff accommodated my wife's wheelchair at all locations. The food was very, very, good.

Secrets St James: Excellent Resort With A few Shortcomings

We enjoyed a stay of 13 days at Secrets St. James. Our first week was in a Preferred Club Room while the second was in a Garden View although it too had a view if the sea. Obviously the Prefered room had a few extras and seemed to be a little better maintained. The grounds of the resort were beautiful and well maintained and the food was excellent. We felt, however, that the beach was rather narrow and you couldn't really swim in the sea because the water was never more than about four fee [... read more]t deep. While the restaurants were very good, it would have been nice if the buffet was also available for dinner. The buffet was great for breakfast.The jerk chicken on the beach was also excellent. Unfortunately the Sea Grill restaurant was closed.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Amazing resort

Our vacation at lberostar Grand Rose Hall was for the second time wonderful! Starting with the employees : they all were struggling to please us. We were greeted every morning with smiles and questions about how we feel. They all work very hard. Hotel is very nice and rooms are kept clean permanently. I want to give special thanks to our maids who did such a wonderful birthday room decoration. Our butler Andree was top notch, permanently struggling to please us. Being repeat guests, we were invi [... read more]ted to a Coctail party which was awesome. We had the opportunity to meet all the managers, even the general manager, which is a lovely young and energetic lady. The food was great at buffet and at almost all restaurants. The only one complain we have is next to the Italian restaurant. They should pay more attention to the recipes and cook properly. The serving is also very slow. The Surf and turf restaurant was perfect from all point of view : the serving, the ambient and the quality. The Japanese restaurant was an other dissapointment. We had to wait more then 40 minutes until the chef came and he was too distracted and made too many jokes about marihuana. The entertainment team was awesome! They were permanently in great shape and always joyful. In conclusion, resort is great and we had a superb vacation. Thank you to all employees for doing such a good job. For sure we will come back.

Secrets St James: Outstanding resort, staff and overall experience!

Everything and everyone we experienced at the hotel was excellent. Very clean environment and exceptionally & helpful friendly staff. Comfy pool/beach loungers...NO PLASTIC...that's how you can tell your at a 5 Star resort. Room service was great! The premium booze was always plentiful and the beer cold. No soliciting on the resort was a big plus too! Big bonus that the resort is less than 15 minutes from the airport...it really makes a difference after being on a plane for 4 Plus hours. On a se [... read more]lfish note...as I'm an occasional cigar smoker...I wasn't big on the designated smoking areas. I believe they could loosen up on that rule. However most seemed to smoke where they wanted for the most part keeping in mind their respect for non smokers.

Couples Swept Away: Couples Swept Away - disappointing

The Couples chain of resorts is amazing. Couples Swept Away is the most expensive and on the 7 Mile beach in Negril. However, the resort and facilities were amazing, along with the staff, the beach peddlers were assaulting. Constant peddling, never stops, security lets them bother guests, it's not relaxing. The first couple of days you laugh, then you just want to run away from Swept Away. For this reason, we will chose one of the other 4 resorts, Couples Sans Souci is our favorite.

Couples Negril: Great vacation

The good: Beautiful beach, chairs are always available and resort never feels over populated. Pool lounges were never hard to find no matter what time it was. We really enjoyed the fact that no matter where you got your drinks, they do them the old way by hand, not like some resorts that use only slush machines now and just throw in booze, which end up tasting all chemical. The majority of the drinks here are still made in blenders from scratches. Staff for the most part are really helpful  [... read more]and attentive. Food quality was pretty steady across every restaurant. I wouldn’t call it 5 star dining but the food is pretty good and quality is there for sure. Similar menu items and flavours from one restaurant to another but quality is consistent across any restaurant you eat in. Buffet was pretty good and staff could be seen often with thermometer checking food temps, which assure the proper warm food throughout unlike some resorts we have been at. We loved that the scuba diving was free and included as much as you could wish.(2 dives a day if there is room). Sunset catamaran was a lot of fun and also free. Glass bottom boat also was free and neat. I seen some people waterskiing that was also included. A couple beach nights were a lot of fun. Dinner was setup on the beach and they did a great job at it. The Bad: Resort in definitely not 5 stars. It’s age is showing for sure but it is kept clean and immaculate. The roofs need replacing, the paint shows mildew everywhere. The property is small and very warm feel which is a pro. Kinda feels like living in jungle which can be good but night time is really dark everywhere except the main area around the pool and lobby. Some female staff seem to have some serious attitude issues. One dinner we would have awesome service and the next dinner, the staff seem as if they didn’t want to be there and treated you that way. But for the most part it was good. To sum it up, I don’t t know what it is about this resort but although we’ve been to nicer resorts with much better entertainment, more food choice, better food etc, we loved this trip. It’s just the feel of the resort and and it’s cosiness maybe. There are no kids or singles trying to hit on you every corner as it is for couples only so the vibe is different. Everyone talks to everyone and all seem content and happy and RELAXED. To if you are thinking about this resort, try it for sure as it will be a different experience that you won’t regret. Just try it.

Grand Palladium Jamaica: Great Vacation

We had a great vacation at the Grand Palladium! The hotel is big enough but not too big to navigate. The people, the pool and the food were awesome! We enjoyed our kid free vacation and have already decided to return with our kids someday!

Half Moon a Rock Resort: Wonderful Resort

This hotel is located on a beautiful white sand beach:essentially an older section and a newer one. The newer side has some very large villas for groups or families. The older side is quaint but still lovely. The housekeeping was very good & the bar fridge replenished each day. There were mostly families in attendance while we were there - definitely a quiet relaxing place. There are pools but most people used the beach and the bay for swimming. The breakfast buffet was great - something for e [... read more]veryone from smoothies to bacon & eggs. The coffee was delicious. The dinner menus at the Seagrape restaurant & Il Giardino were also very good. The staff is very well trained and offer hospitality& smiles all throughout the resort. We did not use the golf course or go horseback riding so cannot comment on those, but I suspect they’re excellent like everything else at the resort. We will definitely return.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Always awesome place to stay

Always awesome place to stay, this was our second time there, we also brought the kids on the trip , kid friendly with a kids water park with slides etc,great food very clean and awesome service!most likely be the place we go next time again..

Grand Muthu Runaway Bay Club Caribbean: Wonderful location for my activities

Needs up date. Beautiful location, grounds and general area just great. Landscaping well-kept but dated. The front deck staff are the most welcoming on this property. Housekeeping very pleasant. The beach was a bit rough the days I spent making the water some-what cloudy. The entertainment team are priceless they are very creative. Three star hotel with a five star entertainment team. Dining room, bar and snack bar lacks leadership. You could not identify the head of the department. It wou [... read more]ld be wise to have a house representative on duty at all times, there were so many issues in the dining room and no one to who you could speak. The cook bring replacement food and have not noting that there are no plates. I spent 7 days and every days at this resort, the same issue each day, for all three meals served plates missing in salad and dessert stations and no one seemed to be concerned, when they were told it will soon come. Everyone in the dining room should be watching these areas. The hotel was not fully booked there should be extra of everything lying around. After a long wait, cold plates in the hot food section, hot plates in the cold food section. Servers picking up your utensils before you are finished. Servers not engage with guest. Ignoring people of colour and are more focus on white folks whom they think will give a bigger tip. Some meal, average but low end cut of meats. Carving skill lacking at roast station this results in a lot of waist. Recycled food items are prevalent and needs more creativity in its' presentation. This my 5th stay at this resort because of the location and it's proximity to my place of business functionality while I am in Jamaica. I have stayed at the Bahia 3 times, Rio twice , Breezes twice , Hyatt rose hall once , Sandals Negril, twice all in Jamaica . Club Caribbean best in creative entertainment. I will be visiting this resort again because of it proximity and convivence to my functionality while in Jamaica. The front desk staff are well trained very professional in their work. I had two servers that was very professional female Althea , and very tall light skin gentleman for got his name , they gave five star service. They should be training the new servers. I would recommend this location to a business, not a honeymooner or younger folks no night activity for the younger set . refrigerator in rooms would be nice.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Beautiful Resort

The pictures of the rooms are exactly how the rooms are. So nice and spacious, nicely decorated, great view. Everything was very clean. The pools are quite expansive and allows for lots of action or quieter areas and sun and shade options. Various beaches, water sports, snorkeling. Lots of dining options. Beautiful Resort, very much enjoyed our stay and felt safe. Tripcentral was great to deal with.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Awesome resort

Plenty to do .. daily activities to great night shows. The gym was outdated compared to the rest of the resort. Would have like additional choices of Le cartes. For a large resort I would like to have had more than 3 Lecarte the week choices. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to....thank you for taking care of us.

Riu Negril: Relaxing Vacation!

We stayed at RIU Negril for 1 week at the end of November. Here are some Pros and cons of the resort. Pros: clean large rooms, excellent food, great beach, great sea life, clean resort Cons: poor to none existing waitress service, nightly entertainment is repetative, staff not too friendly at beach bar Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this resort to others.

Royalton Blue Waters: Great beach

Beach was real nice but room was in disrepair and food options were poor unless you went diamond class. Definitely not a 5 star. Door fob didn't work to get in room when we arrived(took almost 2 hours to fix) bar wasn't stocked when we arrived and shower didn't work properly.
