This was my 60th birthday celebration and @annette.ernest1 and "AlphaWorldwideTravel could not have sent me to a better resort!!! Annette even surprised me by coming to my birthday luncheon!! The rooms were spacious and had ALL of the amenities I needed and more! The beds were so comfortable! The balcony had not only a comfortable sofa, but a swing in which I utilized EVERY morning for drinking my coffee while enjoying the amazing views! My Butler's Andre, Alain and Jamie were THE BEST!!! Andre was so attentive and met not only my needs, but the needs of my sisters and nieces as well!!! He would check on me throughout the day, as well as make personal appearances just to say hi!! He had my coffee delivered to my room every morning and night. Yes, I drink coffee at night! lol Dishaun, a bar waiter, was great! He made sure we always had drinks and even found me on the beach to bring me drinks! He named me "Ms. MK"! Momo, one of the AquaFit instructors was very good and made the class fun!! What can I say about Basiene the Public Relations Manager!! He is awesome! He checked on me daily! We had inclement wether, which brought flowing tears, but he ensured my private birthday dinner on the beach happened and the tears quickly changed to tears of joy!! If you plan on going to Jamaica, contact @annette.ernest1 at # AlphaWorldwide for your travel needs and make sure you go to Joia Rose Hall by Iberostar!!!! Read less

Just arrived home after a week at this beautiful resort. We had never been to Jamaica and wasn’t sure what to expect.

Just arrived home after a week at this beautiful resort. We had never been to Jamaica and wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew the ocean wouldn’t be the pretty blue we are used to in Mexico, but didn’t expect there to be so much sea grass. We stayed by the quieter pool most of the time. The first few days it rained quite a bit, but after that the sun was out and we had a great time with our friends. We had the best butler team, thank you Jaime, Rushane, Travis and Berris. You truly made everything perfect for us. The restaurants for dinner were outstanding. I wasn’t a fan of the selections for lunches. We did eat mostly at the food truck as the food seemed more fresh and the burgers fully cooked compared to our beach grill. We went to the casino every night for a little while, Sasha was awesome. My husband really enjoyed the smoked old fashions at the Hemingway bar with Michele. The pools were cleaned daily and Paul was always there to greet you with a smile. The employees of this resort truly make it a great place to visit. Read less

The stay was amazing! The whole staff from the butlers (Jaime, Rushsane, Travis) to the bartenders were so nice and hospitable. The food was great and the entertainment was GOOD! The pools were great and the swim up bar was a nice place to get drinks. Definitely will book again.
