Just returned from one of the best vacations my family and I have had in a long time, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. A special thank you to our amazing butlers Orrett and Suline, who went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and special. They were truly at our beck and call—always warm, attentive, and two steps ahead of our needs. 💫 The food? Absolutely delicious! And the entire resort staff was incredible—friendly, professional, and always willing to guide and answer questions with a smile. We felt relaxed, cared for, and genuinely appreciated. What more can you ask for in a getaway? All the best to this incredible resort and the beautiful nation of Jamaica. We’ll definitely be back! 🌴🌞💚 #JewelGrande #MontegoBay #JamaicaVacation #LuxuryResort #FamilyTravel #ButlerService #IslandVibes #TravelReview Read less

My family and I have been staying at this property since it first opened. Most years we visit twice. This property has lost all sense of management in the last two years. In December we visited and had no hot water for six of our 10 nights. The general manager informed me I would receive credit upon check out. I received zero. I returned in July with a party of 10. Last night they closed two of the four available restaurants on one of the busiest nights. We had to settle for the buffet that served the same options as lunch. Also I booked four rooms. Two king rooms and two double. They gave one of my double rooms to someone else leaving two men in a king room. The staff here is amazing and a major reason we return. I'm done with this property. Been coming to Jamaica for over twenty years and will spend my time at another resort. I also owned my own restaurant for over thirty years and can tell you the way they operate they won't be around for too much longer. This property was amazing ten years ago it's sad to see what poor management can do to once beautiful resort. Dan Kachadoorian Read less

We have stayed at this resort many times and this will be the last. The problem is with the management of the property. The actual workers/servers are fantastic- very friendly and accommodating. The indoor common spaces and restaurants are very hot- either no air conditioning on or just barely there., no fans or moving air. It’s uncomfortable to eat or be inside. ( The rooms air conditioning is good so sleeping is not a problem). They shut down restaurants when it’s very busy here and it’s very difficult to get into them. The dinner buffet is subpar compared to any resort we’ve been to so if you can’t get into a restaurant, the food choices there are minimal. This resort can and has been better. The decisions from the top level should focus more on the guests like it used to. Read less

We especially like River rafting private tour for my Birthday, Dunn River party was disappointing kept changing the time after 4 hour we left the hospitality was terrible didn't offer us, some other activity to do, we had to wait for the bus to return to take us back to resort very upsetting on my birthday, the representative that books the trip was very lovely helpful and apologies, was able to get some of our money back, overall, major of the restaurants was taste . I would return back to Jewel Grande again Read less
