Grand facilities at the 'Grande'

Advantages: Lots of facilities and good choice of restaurants
Disadvantages: Rooms are more basic than you'd probably expected

...The hotel: The Sunset Jamaica Grande is a hotel in the 'Sunset' group of hotels. The hotel is the largest of the three in the group and is rated as a 4 star standard. The hotel is made up of one main building and two tower blocks which are very easy to spot from a distance due to their bright yellow colour! Location: The hotel sits on the edge of the bay and in a prime position directly on the beach which is also private to hotel guests. The hotel ...
...Bay airport. Across from the hotel in the opposite bay is where all the cruise ships dock - far enough away for there to be any noise disruption but, close enough to watch them go by. First impressions: I knew what it looked like from looking at it on the internet and from pictures in brochures so I knew what to expect in terms of the building exterior but, it really does hit you how big the hotel is as you pull up. The lobby is very large with ...

Review of Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort, Ocho Rios

Dunns River sandals- bit of a letdown.....

Advantages: beautiful beach, fantastic buffet
Disadvantages: other resturants very poor

...this is where i felt Sandals really let us down. Dont get me wrong the buffet was FANTASTIC- the choice was out of this world but the italian and "gourmet silver service" was useless. the pizza and spag bol we ordered could have been from the freezer section in Tescos and the gourmet silver service was laughable. The pork medallions i ordered were pork chops! The oriental restaruant which you had to book for was ok but this really was only because ...
...beach holiday where you dont have to tip, food and alcohol is in plentiful supply and the beach is beautiful then go for it! we dont regret it as we did want to do the sandals experience but i think it perhaps didnt quite live up to our expectations ...

Review of Sandals Dunn's River Golf Resort and Spa, Ocho Rios

Loved the Riu Tropical Bay

Advantages: beach, food, people
Disadvantages: none

I stayed at the Riu Tropical Bay in April 2008 for two weeks with my boyfriend. I absolutely adored the hotel and can hardly fault it at all. It had everything I would want from a holiday; gorgeous weather, wide sandy beaches, delicious food, yummy cocktails and much more! The staff and entertainment were exceptional. The staff were unbelievably energetic and lively, despite the ridiculously long hours that they worked. They would always try and ...
...The sister hotel Riu Negril is just down the beach. I stayed at this hotel when I came to Negril with my family, and to be honest there wasn't much difference between them, although I think that over the summer the Riu Tropical Bay has been upgraded to a palace, so perhaps that is the nicer of the two now. I can't really think of anything negative about Jamaica or the hotel. We were initially put into a room that had a funny smell, but as I've already ...

Review of Club Ambiance, St. Ann

best holiday ever

Advantages: staff members, food, drinks
Disadvantages: rooms

i went to runaway bay royal decameron club over the summer at the end of june with my mum and dad and had best time ever, i know that some people might complain about the cleanliness about the cottages, but as i think everything was just brilliant, could of been little bit more cleaner, but what do you want from 3 star resort and you are not gonna spend most of time in yuor cottage anyways. so once we got to resort all the people were so friendly ...
...in reception area we had drinks ready for us, what made it more perfect, then once you get checked in you get someone to help you with the luggage, but make sure you tip the guys so they remember you and help you next time =] i made so many friends in there and all the staff members were just brilliant, specially the bar man jerome, love him for bits, so girls keep away from him lol. and george, the oldest barman probably aint so great to be honest ...
