Great Beauty but lacked culture

This was a great all inclusive resort. The ocean, beach, bars, and location rock. The bands were great along with the music, but don't expect any authentic Jamaican culture beyond the cool bartenders. The buffet was yummy, but not what we expected in terms of local food.
Awesome time

I don't know how anyone could possibly give this hotel a review above a two. If you want luxury this is not the place to stay. The room we stayed in had hair stuck to the bathroom and shower walls. The toilet looked like it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in two years. The 19" TV in the room was outdated and too small for the room and some channels didn't come in most of the time. The lighting was poor and there was no clock in the room. The furniture is visiably old, the rooms just needs to be renovated. Everyday that we were there the cleaning lady failed to bring either hand towels, wash cloths, or a floor towel and when we called housekeeping on one occasion no one ever showed up. The only good things were the staff was very friendly and the cottages are far enough apart that you can't hear your neighbors; however, you could hear the entertainment that lasts unitl 4 am every morning. Stay at the Grand Bahia or one of the Riu hotels, they are newer and everyone I spoke to who stayed at either hotel was very happy.
NICE GETAWAY!!

If you're looking for a nice quiet relaxing short, or long, getaway this is the place to stay. The oceanview cottage was excellent, but if you're looking for a 5 star place this isn't the one for you. The cottages have an island outdoorsy feel, so watch out for the occasional ant or two. Our cottage was located right infront of the ocean on the beach....beautiful relaxing view. The all incusive bar was nice, unfortunately there were no premium alcohol available, just the basic bottomshelf. Everyone was courteous and very helpful. Anything needed was brought to us asap. The buffet wasnt that great; if you prefer spicy authentic jamaican food, you will not find it here. The excurisons were excellent, definitely visit Dunn's Waterfalls. Having said that, the oceanview on the resort was so breathtaking, you wouldnt want to leave. I WOULD DEFINITELY DO THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Great Find

We stayed here for 6 nights as the first part of our honeymoon (12 nights total). We went to Sandals for the remainder of our trip. Let me say this is much better than Sandals (see my review for Sandals Ochos Rios). We scheduled transportation which was about $50USD from the airport. It took us about 1 1/2 to get there because the shuttle won't leave until it has a full load of people. Upon arrival, the front desk was very nice. We got a punch drink immediately. It was unbelievable. We originally booked a garden bungalow but were upgraded to an oceanfront bungalow. We literally walked outside our place and were on the beach within a few steps. The room itself was not a luxury room but worked. It was private and quiet so we didn't have to worry about being disturbed. It was definitely not a 5 star room. The bathroom had tiles missing and the tub hardware was rusty. The bed was hard. It did have a separate room for clothes and a safe. TV was small, but we weren't there to watch tv. AC worked but not the coldest. We let it run all day while we were gone and was cold by time we got back. Grounds were kept up. Security guard at entrance and broken glass on top of walls for added security. Entertainment was ok. Food was 3 star food. A little repetitive after the first few nights. Don't expect seafood. The drinks were great and strong. I lived off of strawberry and rum frozen drinks. Free local cigarettes too. The beach was great. Raked and kept up. You won't find a better place for your money. Would definitely go back again. Make sure you do the Ochos Rios Highlights Tour.
