Sandals Ocho Rios

Advantages: This is Fully All Inclusive and the food & Drink are fantastic
Disadvantages: Long Flight from UK

I booked here for my Wedding and Honeymoon and I was not disopointed. The Site is quite large with Diffrent styles of rooms / accomdation I stayed in the Honeymoon grande luxe Villa, these are little cottages located throughout the resort in clusters of four, each cottage is nested within the gardens, with fantastic views from patio of the well looked after gardens/ponds. There is also Bamboo grove block and the main hotel site, I never looked ...
...gain access!!! but I viewed a fantastic room in the main site, again a honey moon villa/room which over looked the emerald sea at the foot of the resort. If your not going to get married or for a honeymoon the site does have other types of fantastic rooms avalible, to suit all budgets. The Site has 4 gourmet restaurants plus you can also go to the Dunns River resort and enjoy 4 more great dining emporiums. Dining; Breakfast; Bayside offers buffet ...

Review of Royal Plantation Spa & Golf Resort, Ocho Rios

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 Sandals Grande Ocho Rios Beach and Villa Resort, Ocho Rios

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

Couples Sans Souci, Jamaica - SUPERB

Advantages: Top quality in all areas
Disadvantages: None that I could see

I have worked in the travel trade for over 20 years now and I have to say this was one of my favourate hotels ever. It is 5* and deserves every star it has. It is by no means a cheap property, infact I wouldn't even say it was a reasonable price. You get exactly what you pay for on this one. You pay top notch prices and get top notch service. The rooms are all of a superb level of standard. Our room was a suite with a huge jacuzzi bath and double ...
...rooms have a view but some are garden views. The gourmet restaurant was very good if that is what you like. The presentation of the food was excellent (I don't even think Gordon Ramsey could complain !!) You can also eat on the beach privately if you want. There is also a resturant by the pool and a beach bar that does food as well as drink. (NOTE THIS IS AN ALL INCLUSIVE PROPERTY, so don't forget that when you get a price for it.) Also it has ...
