Great Hotel!

We just returned from a trip to Jamaica- Rooms on the Beach- Ocho Rios. I was concerned after I had read some of the reviews about the hotel. Rest assured, you get what you paid for and then some. The staff were so friendly and attentive. They helped us to book all our excursions and with better prices than we found from most of the tour groups.
The room was clean and tidy-although room service seemed to vary from day to day (as in what time they would get around to cleaning). The view from our third floor was excellent!
The dining room was just okay. The times that it was open seemed to vary on the number of people that were wanting to eat there. A couple of nights it closed early and we had to go elsewhere for dinner. Thankfully, the hotel is right in the center of town and everything is within walking distance.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to travelers looking to make the most of their vacation money!
Budget Friendly!!!!!!!!

This is my 5th trip to Jamaica. Last time I was here I stayed right next door at the Sunset Grande, however the Rooms were clean, staff was friendly. They had complimentary contintental breakfast which was great. The food was so expensive at the hotel, but you can take advantage of room service which is a huge plus in my book. Literally steps from town, Hard Rock Cafe, shops and clubs. The hotel itself does not have much going on entertainment wise, but hey you 're in Jamaica its's always a party going on somewhere. It is not the best I have ever stayed in but certainly not the worst. I am plannin a trip in July and if you are on a budget this is the best way to go. This hotel is in my top 2 choices for July.
COMLIMENTARY BREAKFAST

The breakfast was a big joke..There was no protein item on the line..There was a large amount of stale danishes.The orange juice was too watered down..Every one was dipping for jelly and butter from the same bowls!!! This was not a safe food practice..How about jelly and butter singles?.For a hotel on an island this is a poor show for meal items...We attempted to dine once but ended up dining in the town...Good food and customer service at the indian restaurant next to the craft market.
Rooms is a good deal

Rooms is located within walking distance of many shopping areas, night clubs, local eateries, american dining and the beach. You can book tours through the hotel or the taxis outside. There is fine dining as well Jamaican cooking. There are markets outside the gate where you can buy snacks and gifts. The rooms could use a microfridge and you have only one iron one a floor. If you don't want to go all-inclusive, Rooms is the way to go.
