Dreams Rose Hall

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Star rating

The hotel

Lying on a beautiful, long stretch of private beach, the Dreams Rose Hall sits within 400 lush acres and is home to an 18th-century sugar plantation. A popular feature here is the iconic swimming pool but guests (kids' especially) also love the Sugar Mill Falls Waterpark, which is the largest in Jamaica. Why not grab a tube and float down the ‘lazy river’ or try one of the slides. There’s also a daily kids' club, leaving you with time to recharge in the full-service spa, or why not try out the Championship golf course. A variety of restaurant options with fine dining and sophisticated wine lists are on-site, with the newly renovated Rum Factory a particular hit, as is the Three Palms, overlooking the beautifully landscaped golf course.

Overall, we enjoyed the hotel and what it had to offer. Front desk, bellman and concierge were very helpful. Housekeeping was definitely a disappointment. Enjoyed the entertainment nightly, the bar adjacent to the cricket club and the cricket club itself. There could be a better selection of food at the buffet, especially for breakfast.

During our stay, we were lucky enough to be looked after by Aston. From the first day, he was super friendly, always had a smile on, and just made us feel really comfortable. He remembered our go-to drinks, gave us great food recommendations, and just went above and beyond. You can tell he actually cares and enjoys what he does, which made a big difference. People like Aston are rare. We’re already talking about coming back, and he’s a big reason why. Huge thanks to him for making our trip that much better. The place is lucky to have him! Read less

We stayed as a family of four with two young children (six and four years old) for just a couple of days, but even in that short time we felt we gained a really good sense of this hotel. The hotel grounds reminded me so much of the fun, old-school 1990s American hotels I stayed in as a child. Some of the décor and features – the bridge over the water, pirate touches, certain buildings – felt almost theme-park-like. That might sound dated to some, but I absolutely loved it. It was a proper throwback that gave me amazing nostalgic feelings. Holidays aren’t just about “Instagram moments” – this hotel is all about fun with your family, and it delivers. The atmosphere is light-hearted, kid-friendly and incredibly welcoming. Every single staff member we met was warm and friendly. A special mention goes to Rochelle, a trainee receptionist who went above and beyond to help us with our room, make sure we weren’t overcharged, and who was just wonderfully kind throughout our stay. She genuinely made a big difference. One thing worth highlighting is the air conditioning. We stayed in two different rooms across two different blocks and in both cases the air con was exceptional. With more and more hotels now capping their units at around 21°C to cut energy costs, it was refreshing (literally!) to find a resort where the rooms were kept properly cool. In a hot climate like Jamaica, that makes a huge difference to comfort and sleep. The facilities are excellent for families: • A swimming pool and lazy river perfect for children • Gorgeous views across the sea (just sitting on the balcony watching distant lightning storms was magical) • The buffet offered a huge range – you’d have to be the pickiest eater not to find something you enjoy. If I had to point out one negative, it would only be that one of the restaurants was closed one evening without notice. But honestly, that’s the only quibble in what was an otherwise great stay. Overall, this hotel is fun, friendly, and perfect for families. It may not be the most “modern, sleek” resort, but it has heart, character, properly cool rooms, and staff who really care. We’d happily return. Read less

I booked this resort based on the glowing online descriptions and promotional photos, but the reality was the complete opposite. The advertising is highly misleading and does not reflect the current state of the property. The food was extremely disappointing — lacking in both quality and variety. It felt more like cafeteria fare than the gourmet experience that was promised. As for the decor, it looks like it hasn’t been updated in at least 25 years. The entire atmosphere feels dated and tired, far from the modern and luxurious vibe portrayed online. On a positive note, I understand the resort is now under new ownership. I genuinely hope they invest in much-needed improvements across the board. Until then, I would not recommend staying here based on the current conditions. Read less
