Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Fabulous Resort

The views from the hotel was amazing. Lots of activities to do like evening jazz in the lobby with popcorn, dancing on the beach or even pool relay during the day. Fun for everyone!!! Every staff was friendly and ready to help you. Can't wait to go back

Riu Palace Jamaica: Not a good hotel

They were closing for renovations at the end of August and they were just using out the stock they had. Fish was mostly tilapia. they just state Nightly entertainment with no other description. There was not much shade at the beach.

Riu Palace Aquarelle: Amazing Staff!

This resort is excellent. Nicely decorated and clean rooms. Buffet restaurant had a variety of food options with the Caribbean food being exceptional! The drinks were top shelf. The service impeccable and the entertainment was ‘very good’. Wish there was more Bob Marley Music but otherwise it was great! The beach and weather amazing. Beach did have a few rocks but if you bring water shoes it’s not a problem. Would definitely return!

Couples Swept Away: Fabulous resort

We spent a fabulous week at Couples Swept Away . The rooms were clean and very well maintained. The mini fridge was stocked daily. The employees were super friendly. The food was excellent in the buffet, the specialty restaurants and the grill. Feathers specialty restaurant was amazing. The grounds are well maintained. The entertainment in the evening was low key but nice the steel drum band was awesome . They have numerous activities in the day time that you can do, from yoga, aquafit, pickle  [... read more]ball, lap pool, bean bag toss, ring toss and so much more. They also have water sports that’s included. Glass bottom boat ride, snorkeling and catamaran. Negril beach is amazing and they rake the beach every morning. Lots of beach chairs with cushions and the cushions you can use as floats in the ocean. This is truly a wonderful resort. We have done 20 plus all inclusive resorts and this resort will be our new go to.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Frequent flyer

We stayed at this hotel 5 times. We keep coming back because it feels like home. All the staffs are helpful and will go out of their way to get you what you want. They genuinely want to make your stay memorable, fun, happy and stress free! We love the size of the rooms, very spacious. We normally stay over the family side because we find it more entertaining. The luxury side is for those looking for peace and quiet. We can’t wait until the other side is open. It’s a huge resort. Lots of restaura [... read more]nts options once the family size is open.

Riu Palace Aquarelle: Beautiful family resort.

Very friendly and clean environment. Well-maintained and organized. Fresh food and delicious in all buffet and restaurants. Staff respectful, friendly, well trained. Beach area clean, but shortage in umbrella and most of them were broken.Overall pleasantvacation

Azul Beach Resort Negril: Good family vacation with exceptions

We stayed in the premium room which was newly renovated but some of the furniture was broken. Beds are not the most comfortable and creeks but this didn’t trouble us much. Most of the staff are friendly .. going above and beyond, with the exception of two or three staff members mostly managing the grilled meats/ pasta station at the main buffet. Beach is lovely and bar tenders are friendly and accommodating. Room service was fine but there were a few days where the supplies were not replenished, [... read more] but we called reception and had this resolved. The resort seems short staffed so probably something that Karisma needs to address!! They encourage you to use the app for checking restaurant times but the app information is not accurate. This was a little frustrating and even more so since a manager never called us back to address this situation. Staff also gave us inaccurate restaurant information. The food at the Asian and Caribbean restaurant wasn’t the greatest but we loved the Italian restaurant. With a little more attention to detail, additional staffing and some upgrades this resort has the potential to provide a 5 star experience

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Do your own research

We booked our trip to Bahia Principe, Montego Bay,Jamaica through TripAdvisor, and the booking process itself was smooth. We found the resort, via internet, called directly, and had everything confirmed within an hour through Jairus Maus. On July 14, We arrived at the hotel around 2:30 p.m. after an hour-plus drive from the airport, but unfortunately our room wasn’t ready until after 4:30 p.m. The first two days at the resort were enjoyable. Before leaving Canada, I had emailed my travel agen [... read more]t Jairus regarding excursions and transportation but never received any information or reply in that regards . We decided to find this info from the hotel once we reach there. Rather than waste more time, I booked our excursions through the hotel reception after checking in. We spent our second day relaxing and exploring the resort. On our third day, we went to the Dunn’s River Falls excursion, which included climbing the falls, zip-lining over them, and snorkeling. The excursion itself was fantastic. The tour organizers had arranged lunch for us at a nearby village restaurant after snorkeling and had even taken our meal orders that morning. Unfortunately, this is where our vacation took a terrible turn. We arrived at the restaurant Chukka Island Village outpost around 3:30 p.m. after not eating all day. The staff were rude and inattentive. We were ignored for quite some time, weren’t even offered water, and had to ask for it ourselves after our jerk chicken was served. When they finally brought it, they simply slid the glasses onto the table without saying a word. The service was extremely disappointing. After lunch, at 0345 pm, we were driven back to the hotel, arriving about 30–45 minutes later. Almost immediately, my husband began running to the bathroom repeatedly and started shaking. As a nurse, I became very concerned. I called reception asking if they had Tylenol. They initially offered to send a nurse, but I explained that I was a nurse myself and only needed medication. They directed me to the gift shop, where I paid US$30 for a bottle of 24 Tylenol tablets, along with an overpriced package of Pepto-Bismol. Later that night, I also became ill. For the next five days, both of us suffered from constant diarrhea and stomach illness unable to hold anything down. Our vacation was completely ruined. We could barely eat anything—even a piece of toast would pass through us almost immediately. Every day we hoped we would recover enough to enjoy at least part of our trip, but we never did. Even on the morning we were leaving for the airport, my husband attempted to eat something light before our flight and had to run straight to the bathroom afterward. Throughout our stay, we repeatedly asked for fresh lemon to have with tea, hoping it would help settle our stomachs. Every restaurant told us they didn’t have any. It was surprising that a five-star resort couldn’t provide something as basic as fresh lemon. What was most disappointing was the lack of follow-up from the resort. I reported what had happened to the excursion booking department, guest services, and reception. I explained that I wasn’t only concerned about us—I wanted to make sure this didn’t happen to other guests if the meal from the excursion restaurant was the cause. Unfortunately, no one ever contacted us, checked on our condition, or followed up in any way. The resort itself is beautiful, and the facilities were great. However, we were unable to enjoy any of it because we spent almost our entire vacation sick. The only food we ate outside the resort was the lunch provided as part of the excursion that the hotel arranged. If you’re planning to stay at Bahia Principe Jamaica and book excursions through the hotel, I would encourage you to be cautious about the meals provided during those excursions. Our experience completely overshadowed what should have been a wonderful vacation.

Sandals Ochi Beach Resort: Excellent vacation at Sandals Ochi

Went with a group of 8 for a week in July and joined by friends who stayed one night. From the moment we arrived at the airport till the morning we left we were treated with superb customer service from Sandals staff. Large resort with lots of options for food and we were treated very well at every restaurant. The food was delicious and well prepared. Our rooms were clean and well supplied with adequate toiletries and towels. We didn't have to ask for anything for our rooms which were locat [... read more]ed in the Great House and in the villas on the Hillside. Staff are always asking if we needed anything and would go out of their way to meet our needs. We spent most of our days at the beach soaking in the sea. Some spots are a bit rocky but we didn't need water shoes as we avoided those areas. We were able to get beds in the shade every day on the beach. We recommend this resort if you are looking to be pampered and want some time away for fun and relaxation. There is something for everyone at this resort.

Azul Beach Resort Negril: Great resort, amazing beach!

We just returned from our stay at Azul Beach Resort. The staff were truly amazing and very friendly! The beach of coarse was so beautiful. One of the best I have been to! Because we went off season, there was only 1 buffet open. The food was not bad (if food is more important than beach, then this may not be for you) The rooms were clean and spacious and the bed so comfy. The pools weren't overly big, but always clean and most with a swim up bar. The only thing that I wasn't a fan of was tha [... read more]t there were steps (just one) everywhere. It would be easy to take a fall if you weren't paying attention. Other than that, I would definitely go back. I am not one to go looking for perfection when travelling to another country. If you go looking for issues, then you will find them. We had an amazing time while we were there and can't wait to go back!!

Princess Grand Jamaica: Amazing Hoilday

Everything was professionally done. The food was tasty the staff was very helpful and easy to talk to. The property was clean. I like that checking was sit down check in and cool drink was waiting for me. I would love to visit again.

Riu Reggae: Beautiful Beach Vacation

The RIU REGGAE was a great hotel recommended by our lovely agent Joanne L. from tripcentral. This hotel was perfect for my husband who walks with a cane. The rooms were accessible by elevator. The walk to the Buffet (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner) was short as to the entertainment stage, bars and beach. We loved the fact that the beach to the left of the property was gradual entry. The staff at the bars and dining area were friendly and attentive. The only thing we had an issue with was that both of us [... read more] sleep with a cpap and there was only one outlet between the beds. We asked front desk over two days for an extension cord as we didn't think to bring an outlet tower. Both days they said they would ask maintenance and call us. At one point they wanted to bill us for the extension cord if they found one. We didn't bother and found a solution by unplugging the coffee machine thankfully the cord were long enough that it worked. The follow up and solution would have been the only issue we experienced with Front Desk. Overall, we loved the beach and the pool bar. Comparing it to the other RIU property we have stayed at. If your not looking for glitz and glam but a great relaxing time. This is your place.

Legends Beach Resort: Disappointed

Susan was our travel agent and I am disappointed. We booked a king size suite and it was our anniversary. We called her prior to our trip to confirm because we seen that it was double beds booked and she mentioned that it means double occupancy. When we arrived it was indeed a double bed and my husband is over six feet tall. We asked if there was any mention of our anniversary after we realized we didn’t receive the accommodations that we booked and they said there is no note saying this was our [... read more] anniversary or they would have prepared for that. When we returned we called her and sent her a email and she did not even call us back. Usually I book with Martine but she was on holidays. Moving forward I will only book with Martine as Susan put a bad taste in my mouth. This is not the fault of the resort. The resort itself was okay. They went out of their way to accommodate us the best they could given the circumstances.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton: Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton

The Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton have beautiful grounds and gardens.During our stay at this hotel, the reception suffered major and noisy repairs I got headaches.the black tarp surrounding the large repair area and the grandious stairs took away the beauty of this hotel.We received a good apartment room. However, the bed had a major issue:screeching at each turn, it was hard to rest properly. The Sunset Cove beach we liked: although it supposed to be a quiet area, often noisy groups came in an [... read more]d turn the music loud, some people screaming in the water. There was no shade j afternoon, as the palapas did not have the top to provide it. Moreover, sometimes you could hear the loud noise from construction site hammers nearby. The food was good on the main restaurant. The rest were missing some things, for knstance: lemons were scarce, I had to pay to get 2 lemons. The a la cart restaurants were good, just Poseidon was disappointing, we had a late dinner appointment and all specific dishes were gone, we received basically same dishes as the buffet. As this hotel is renowned for the largest pool in Jamaica, I would recommend it for people enjoying the pool, rather than a quiet beach.

Rooms on the Beach Negril: Great value hotel right on the beach

Stayed here for 4 days to see Negril, came in with proper expectations given the size and amenities and was very happy overall with the trip. The hotel is small and location is amazing, steps from the beach. Rooms were a bit dated but clean and the vaulted ceiling on the 2nd floor made it seem larger. Continental breakfast was great as we don’t eat heavy breakfasts. Fruit, cereal, toast with butter and jam, muffin, a hard boiled egg with tea / coffee /juice. We tried the salt fish frit [... read more]ters off the menu and they were good. Staff were all nice and helpful. The beach is beautiful, white sand and calm waters, you can walk all day long. Soft sand underfoot in the water and no rocky areas by the hotel beach. Great places to eat all around, honestly in Jamaica you can’t go wrong with food. There’s so much pride and love in what they make, with recipes handed down for generations. This hotel wasn’t fancy and if you go in with the proper expectations it delivers a good value option for exploring Negril - clean, safe accommodations at a great location.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: nice resort except the beach is not good.

this was a beautiful resort except for the beach part. not a lot off sand here ,small and low water.I really go to those places for the beach part.No non alcholic beer was another thing .The pic you are addvertising for the beach is false.Iwas not expecting what i saw.

Sunset at the Palms: Great resort! We'll be back

The resort was better than we expected, the food was outstanding, I have dietary issues and always had wonderful choices for fresh fruit, salads and dairy free options. Fresh eggs cooked at your liking. The wine was really good, surprisingly:) The rooms was stunning but a little small, not alot of closet space. The bath room was beautiful but the counter space was limited. The outside deck was lovely with a day bed and table and chairs where I mediated each morning The coffee at the co [... read more]ffee bar was delicious! I went to the gym every morning and always found a treadmill to run on but the two other bike machines were not working The pool was lovely, small but just right for the amount of people on this resort The beach was incredible, we thought because we needed to cross the road to get to the private beach it was a deal breaker, but surprisingly it was just fine and we had a security guard who stop traffic to cross The beach was private for this resort, big palm umbrellas, privaye service for food and drink for this resort only. I walked along the beach and looked at other resprts and this one was by far the best beach front! We made the best choice. Thanks to Beth at trip central for this recommendation. Thanks to all the staff at the resort who were always happy, helpful and grateful. Shout out to Cash, and Tamika who took care of our drinks and meal service. A great experience over all and can't wait to go back.

Sunset at the Palms: Vacation of my dream

This is the fifth time in Jamaica, the first time in this resort and I can only sayTHE BEST place we have been. From the employees that you feel like part of a big family, they so much care about making you feel like royalties. The service is the best, the beach is amazing even though you cross the street with help. The only thing I would like to mention, there is not enough food selection, we don’t eat seafood or meat, but the chicken jerky was the best all the time, I know it is of season  [... read more]this month and every hotel is cutting in order not waste.

Sandals Ochi Beach Resort: Almost perfect

The resort was beautiful, the beach areas were well maintained, the food was fantastic, Howard at the Piano Bar makes the best drinks. The housekeeping on the other hand, not great. We arrived on Thursday and our room was not touched until Sunday night, we left Monday. Once our water in the mini fridge was replenished without asking. I had to repeatedly ask for clean towels, our garbage/dishes were not cleared away until the Sunday night. Our bed was not made until the Sunday night.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Not a 5 star!

1 restaurant and the buffet was open. After 1030 only room service which took over an hour especially after a night of drinking. Plenty cockroaches. Last call at the bar is 1am. The food at the buffet was good.
