This was my first trip to Jamaica, and all I can say is that is was great.
The staff was awesome, and are all VERY nice and will help you with ANYTHING you need.
The All-Inclusive part of the stay was also a first for me, and I have nothing bad to say about it.
The food was great no matter where we ate, and the premium drinks were well done.
If you are going to Jamaica and have kids, this is the place to go, with 3 pools, slides, Xbox game room, ping pong, billards, all included, you cannot go wrong.
The people who work there are not only very helpful, but are very efficient as well.
MUST go at least once!
OK now some info:
The rooms were spacious, and clean. 2 double beds that were pretty comfortable and we slept well. The couch had a pull out bed so one of us could sleep on it. We als had a mini fridge that was stocked every day, and all items in it were included, no extra fees. We had a patio right off our room, and we were supplied with a table & 2 chairs.
The hotel is very large but pretty well laid out so it wasn't too bad getting around. some rooms are right on the beach, and open right out onto the sand.
There are 3 pools, one in the main area that has a swim up bar. A very relaxing swim. The other one is a kiddie pool for the little ones who need some experience. The other one is where all the fun is. Starting out, a small slide for kids, then medium for just about anyone, then of course there 3 HUGE slides that are a TON of fun!
There are 4 restaurants and all of them have good food. The main one is the best for families as it has everything, and serves all 3 meals and snacks in between. I could believe how good the fresh fruit was, and the famous Jamaican coffee is just fantastic. The other ones have meals at different times, and serve more specific menus. However, not only are all of them included, but all of them were fantastic!.
Kids have a lot to do with the pools, Xbox room (air conditioned & free), pools, activity center, and stage performances. With all that, they will not be bored!
The stage performances are really good too, as they involve the audience in some of their stuff, and it just makes more fun!
The beach is CLEAN and wonderfully staffed. When you get there you have plenty of seating, umbrellas and people waiting to assist you in the kindest manner. There is a spa for the ladies to be pampered, and water activities. You can go on the glass bottom boat tour, you can go sailing, and use the water bikes.
There are plenty of places to go to enjoy the GREAT drinks that are included in your stay. The drinks are made from premium liquors, and you can't ask for better Rum!
We were there for a wedding, which the hotel does a wonderful job on. And when it was time for the reception and things looked dull, the staff members know EXACTLY what to do to get the party going, and they participated in dance and other things, and really made a great time out of something that was rather flat at the time. Kudos the the staff one more time!
Remember NO TIPPING is allowed there, only for the bus drivers. So not only do you not pay for the food & drinks, but tips! When we sat down & figured out what we ate, & drank and what the tips would be, we figured that our room was free for at least one night!
We asked ourselves these questions on the way home:
Do we have fun, YES. Did we sleep good, YES. Did we enjoy the entertainment? YES. Did our kids enjoy it? YES. Did we like the food? YES. Were we taken care of properly? YES. Were we treated with respect? YES.
So we decided all around this was THE BEST vacation we've ever had!
Amount we paid (not including airfare) 4-Day/5 Night stay Double Bed w/ Private Patio - $865.00/Ea. Adult (2), and $57.00/Day Ea. Child (2).
