Would NEVER go back

We went here because our friends got married on the beach. The wedding was beautiful, the beach was pretty nice and the hotel was nice, not overly fancy by any means. However, there were two cock roaches in our bathroom, they didn't seem to do anything about. We paid for a beachside cottage and got a regular room at first. We weren't compensated for staying in a regular room the first nights even though we paid extra for the cottage. The pool was small and you had to cross the street to go to the pool. No bar on the poolside so you either had to cross the street or wait 30 minutes or more for them to get your drinks for you. My husband accidentally lost our room key with the safe key on it and they charged us $ for it! The bartenders weren't overly friendly but they got a little better when we tipped them. It didn't feel like they really wanted to serve us. The food was awesome, different themes every night. It was an ok experience, but we won't ever be going back there.
Had the best time!!!!

I really enjoyed staying at this resort.Everything from the staff,food and the bar were excellent.I stayed in one of the beachside cottages which was only a few steps
from the bar and one of the best beaches in all Jamaica.I also met some really cool
locals and tourist.Watchout for Nadine at the bar when asking for a red stripe and
a shot of appleton rum!!!! See you guys again in June again 2009.

Travelled with 3 other mature women for a quiet girls trip. Beach was amazing, water was perfect. Cottages were quaint and a bit worn, but clean. Staff tried to be accomodating most of the time. Ran out of cold water occasionally, seemed to be a problem throughout the resort. Worst part was all-inclusive food. Not only was the timing of meals limited, food was often cold (when it should have been hot) Ordered a couple of burgers on afternoon of arrival and they were inedible! Don't know what the meat was and don't want to know. For the price, look elsewhere.
Great time.

The husband and I stayed at the Grand Pineapple in Jan 09. We had a wonderful time. The hotel was just like we wanted. We did not want to be at a large resort where you must walk your legs off to get to the beach etc. Everything is right outside your door here and the beach was beautiful. Nice shady places to relax. The resort is small so don't have people bothering you to do any activities or sing karaoke etc. They did have kayaks provided by the hotel and that was fun. Also took a sunset boat ride down to Rick's Cafe. Definitely worth the money to see the cliffs from the water. Just walk south down the beach and ask for Captain Moses. Rooms not fancy but clean. Food was very good. Even though the food is not available all the time we never got hungry in between because we had so much at every meal. Great desserts and coffee. Oh yes and the drinks were great. Would fix anything you asked for and Andrew would fix you up at closing time. Easy walk to the reggae shows at Bourbon Beach and Alfred's . Great time.
Amazing Bang for the Buck

We travelled first week in April a few years ago, right after Spring Break. For what we paid, it was an amazing value! The food was very good, desserts excellent, andso much fresh fruit we had to cut ourselves off! If you tip per meal to what translates to $5 American, you will want for nothing - the wait staff will anticipate your every need. From 7:00AM on every morning, you can take the carafe that is in the room to the kitchen and they will fill it with coffee for you to take back to your balcony to enjoy. Such a lovely way to start the day. The drinks were awesome! Again, become a regular tipper and you'll get the best service. When they see you heading to the bar, they'll start up the blender so your drink will be ready when you get there. The rooms were very clean and straightened up/beds made every day. Even though it was all inclusive, we opted to have dinner out on two nights and I'd highly recommend this to everyone. They offer some activities on site, but can make arrangements for you to do just about anything you want to do. For us it was parasailing and we're now addicted. The Jamaicans are a lovely people who are proud of their country and only too happy to offer you suggestions to enhance your trip. I'd go again in a heartbeat even though I've been there many many times.
