The service and ambiance was amazing from the time we arrived at JOIA until the time we departed. Every single staff member went out of their way to accommodate my wife and I. The swim out pool room with butler service was great. Alain, Andre and Glen were our butlers and they were all great. Surprise flower petals in the room each night. We felt the romance. The pool activities were fun and kept the day lively. We loved the food. It was not a problem eating at any of the restaurants. Would highly recommend this resort. Read less

My wife and I just returned from our week-long honeymoon at Iberostar Joia Rose Hall, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about this resort and the incredible staff who made our stay absolutely unforgettable. This was our first time visiting Jamaica, and as a same-sex couple from Canada, we'll admit we had some initial concerns about how we would be received, largely influenced by negative portrayals of Jamaica in Western media. We couldn't have been more wrong. From the moment we arrived until our departure, we were treated with nothing but warmth, respect, and genuine hospitality. We come from a very conservative province in Canada, yet we've always received wonderful treatment everywhere we travel, and Jamaica was no exception. The misconceptions we had were completely shattered by the reality of how welcoming and kind everyone was to us. The resort surprised us with a complimentary upgrade to an oceanfront suite and provided us with exceptional butler service. Gary, Ralston, and Owen were absolute gentlemen butlers who took care of every detail, while Kadeen was the most lovely and attentive lady who checked on us daily to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their dedication to service was truly remarkable. Valentine, our charming and knowledgeable ambassador, became someone we genuinely enjoyed chatting with about Jamaica's tourism industry, economy, and various perspectives. His insights enriched our understanding of the island beyond just being tourists. At the main lobby, Alexia our bartender and server was an absolute ray of sunshine with her upbeat and cheerful personality, always bringing positive energy to everyone around her. Nicholas, our quiet but wonderful server at Port Maria, may have been shy, but his warm smiles and attentive service spoke volumes every time he saw us. The friendly lady at the pool towel desk (we're so sorry we forgot your name!) was consistently welcoming and made our pool days even more enjoyable. Our spa experience was incredible thanks to Juliet, who provided me with an amazing facial and deep tissue massage. After all the busy wedding preparations, it was exactly what I needed during our honeymoon. And we have to mention Dane, our sales representative, who was refreshingly genuine and never pushy about club membership upgrades. Despite this, we loved having conversations with him because of his consistently positive energy. As frequent travellers, we know that the people we meet can either make or break a trip, and Jamaica and Iberostar absolutely shined in this regard. Every single staff member we encountered contributed to making our honeymoon magical. We're already planning our return trip because the warmth and hospitality we experienced here was truly special. Thank you to everyone at Iberostar Joia Rose Hall for exceeding all our expectations and creating memories we'll treasure forever. - Trang & Lilia Read less

We recently stayed at the Iberostar Joia Montego Bay and had a great experience. The food and service were excellent—every meal was fresh and enjoyable, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We booked an oceanfront room in the Butler category. While we didn’t really need the Butler service, we chose it for the view. The butlers changed often, so we didn’t see them much, but they did check in regularly. Natasha at the lobby bar stood out—she made great drinks and was wonderful. The nightly entertainment in the lobby bar and theatres were very enjoyable, with live music and performances. The grounds were beautiful, with lots of greenery around the pool. The cabanas and loungers were very comfortable, and we appreciated the drink service both at the pool and on the beach. The beach itself was lovely—clean and relaxing. Overall, a well-run resort with quality food, great service, extremely clean and had a relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely return. Read less

JOIA is a fantastic adults only resort. I was a little surprised that our butler level room did not have a private check-in. Amazing food…amazing pool…amazing scuba diving with Dressel. Private transportation was included and easy to arrange. Definitely coming back…FIVE STARS.
