Jamaica Hotels

5/10 below average accomodation

Advantages: wonderful views over the sea
Disadvantages: poor lighting & insects

I did not really enjoy my stay in Jamaica period, so maybe to some extent that is distort my opinion of this hotel. The hotel is situated at a good location, the quality of the rooms vary. Best rooms are located on the top floor, the include balconies with views over the sea which is very beautiful. Rooms are of a decent size & are clean, but there were pests and insects in both of the rooms that I stayed in. The customer service I received was ...
...for help with my luggage into my room. It is difficult to carry all your things up to your room, the narrow flight of stairs. On the positive though, if you’re a budget traveller then you are affectively getting what you pay for. It is good value for money given the location and facilities. Every room has air conditioning and a television with cable. However, every room does not have a main light source. But they have provided lamps to light ...

Review of Caribic House, Montego Bay

More than a 3 Star!

Advantages: Excellent value for money and will keep the kids entertained
Disadvantages: Not for anyone wanting a quiet holiday

I stayed at this 3 star hotel with my boyfriend last summer. We booked on a late deal three weeks before and got 14 nights all inclusive for £620 each which we thought was a complete bargain! We weren't wrong! I'll start with the food, firstly there is the buffet restaurant which is free with table service for drinks and serves; * breakfast (complete with omelette chefs to cook them how you like it) which has traditional Jamaican, cold and hot food. ...
...which offers hot and cold options to suit all tastes and changes daily. * afternoon tea consisting of finger sandwiches, cake and drinks * dinner, again hot and cold options, a good selection of deserts, Jamaican specialities and theme nights such as Mexican, Chinese, Japanese etc. There is a beach grill which serves burgers, hot dogs etc all day and is a reservation only Jamaican restaurant by night, again this is free. There are then three ...

Review of Starfish, Trelawny

The perfect Honeymoon retreat

Advantages: Very friendly staff, wonderful suroundings, plenty to do
Disadvantages: You'll fall in love and not want to come home

...quite a nice touch as Sandals phone you a week before you arrive and ask what drinks you would like! I'll have them all I said!!!!! Whatever you drank was replaced the following morning, we were in paradise. A nice touch was that during the afternoon there was always a surprise left in the fridge for us. Sometimes it was a selection of fruits, cheese and biscuits, a selection of desserts, little sandwiches etc. At the other end of the villa was ...
...to play golf at the Sandals Golf Course. Transfers are free as is the actual game and the hiring of the clubs, but you do have to pay for a Caddy who walks around the greens with you and offers help if you want it on the shots to take. Trev said it cost about £25 so pretty much in line with what you would expect to play for a round here in the UK. The food at all of the restaurants was wonderful. Our favourite was Orchids (thai, chinese and indian) ...

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 ...
