Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms in building 5 were great but had a slight musty smell. The service, especially at the pool and lobby bars, was fantastic with staff going above and beyond. The location offered breathtaking views but was impacted by the noise of planes taking off from Montego Bay airport. The dining options were varied and delicious with excellent choices at the buffet restaurant. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.

The hotel rooms are quite spacious and kept very clean, featuring a huge comfy bed and a restocked mini bar every other day, yet they have a dirty musty smell due to the old-fashioned decor reminiscent of smoking allowed indoors. The service is top-notch, extremely professional, and truly world-class with staff that never stops going above and beyond. The location, while gorgeous and staffed with friendly and helpful staff, is unfortunately in a heavy airport flight path. The dining experience offers excellent food variety but can be disorganized at times, making it a bit challenging to navigate. Overall, the facilities are well-maintained and offer a comfortable stay.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the view from my room, 3007, was not very appealing as it overlooked shrubland/wasteland, leading me to repack and unpack our suitcases. However, the staff were incredibly friendly and worked hard to ensure we had a great holiday experience. The location was lovely, although there were some cleanliness issues with people drinking excessively by the pool. The dining options were satisfactory, especially the early breakfast choice. Overall, a mixed experience with both positives and negatives.

The hotel's location was lovely, but the experience was marred by dirty rooms and a tedious room allocation process that involved moving across buildings. The late readiness of the rooms added to the frustration. The service, despite a few standout moments, was generally rude and even insulting. The dining options, while offering some variety, could be repetitive. The pool area, though initially pleasant, suffered from rowdy guests at times, leading to closures for cleaning.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The location was fantastic, right by the beautiful private beach and close to popular spots like the hip strip and Pier One nightclub. The service was outstanding with attentive staff, although the presence of cats may not be for everyone. The dining options were plentiful, open from early morning with a good variety, but the pool area could get rowdy at times. Overall, a stay with positives and negatives worth considering.

I stayed at this hotel and had a standard room overlooking the gardens towards the tennis court. The room had a king-size bed, a view of the sea, pool area, and mountain. The front desk offered to switch rooms for an additional cost, but the food was a complete disaster. The staff were friendly, and the beach was decent, though not the best in Jamaica. Limited shopping options meant having to carry cash or credit cards around all the time.

The hotel offers really nice rooms in typical Caribbean style, with the added bonus of spirits on optics, a mini fridge stocked with water, fizzy drinks, and a few beers. The rooms were very spacious and clean, equipped with air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a TV with plenty of English channels.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although spacious, are showing signs of age and could use some refurbishment. On the bright side, the rooms were large enough to accommodate my family comfortably, and the layout offered privacy. However, the absence of a coffee maker was a downside. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who provided outstanding service, going above and beyond to cater to our needs. The location had its charms, being relaxing overall, but some noise from the party vibe could be bothersome. The dining experience was average, lacking variety but offering the basics. The facilities were adequate, though some reorganization could enhance the overall experience.
