We had the most amazing visit to this resort with our friends. There were 20 of us and everything went incredibly smooth. We were greeted and taken care of the entire week by Javena and Alonzo. They both worked extremely hard to make sure everything was first class. They were both there to help us and answer any questions we may have had. Javena and Alonzo made us feel welcome and at home at all times.. Our group spent most of our time down with the star prestige cabana crew. Leroy, Chad, Warren made sure our cabanas were set up each day and always greeted us with a smile. Kacia, Anecia, Rohan, Shanay, were also part of the cabana crew making sure we had plenty of drinks and food and that the group was always happy and well taken care of!! We had an authentic jamaican meal prepared by Chef Marcus and it was absolutely outstanding! We ate as a group out on the beach one evening. It was so fun! I would give this resort five stars for their all around hospitality and friendliness of the staff! We felt right at home and can’t wait to go back again!!! Read less

The JOIA never disappoints! The staff is the friendliest and they take such good care of their guests! The food was superb. The drinks were delicious. Baseine is the absolute best! Travis, Mayogal, Keresa, Devon, & Love are just a few of the people that I want to shout out. I cannot remember everybody's name.

Donovan and Shelly were amazing!! Star Prestige has its own sun beds and cabanas right next to the beach. Loved hearing the waves come crashing in. My husband and I came to JOIA to celebrate our Honeymoon.
