Second time back in 2 years and it keeps getting better each time. Just far enough away from the airport, but not having to travel to the other side of the island. Pools and restaurants are great. Buffet has great nightly options. Our chef, Paris, at the hibachi restaurant was amazing!! The dive shop is top notch with great dive sites through Dressel Divers. The entertainment staff is first class, especially String Bean!! Every day the guys and ladies went out of there way to make sure there was plenty to do around the resort. Even for a guy who "shaves his..... for this" Highly recommend for families or couples!! Read less

Pool was HOT and I didn't see it get cleaned of the debris and bugs floating in it. Food was there so you weren't hungry for your stay..Nothing to write home about. Staff are rude some are not rude.

It's super basic and I would have opted to vacation else where but it was a family celebration so this resort is where they decided to go. Read less

The staff was wonderful. Tyra at the customer service desk was exceptional. Not sure how they managed to hire such an amazing staff. The only issue I had was that there was not enough attention given to the rooms to properly cater to guests who are wheelchair-bound.

Had a fantastic stay at Iberostar Rose Hall in Jamaica. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The beach was beautiful and well-maintained, and there were plenty of chairs and shade. Food options were varied, with several restaurants offering good quality meals. Entertainment was enjoyable but not overbearing, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. It’s a great spot to unwind, enjoy the sun, and experience a bit of Jamaica. Would definitely come back again. Special shout out to LeRoy, Chad, Warren, Rohan, Javena, Anecia, Kacia, the entire star prestige cabana crew, Alonzo, Stretch, and Wayne for the excellent service. Read less
