Moon Palace Jamaica

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Star rating

The hotel

Occupying centre stage on the largest private beach in Ocho Rios, the Moon Palace Jamaica promises as many sensational sea views as classic Palace Resort touches which is why this is one of the hottest properties in the Caribbean. Consisting of 680 guest rooms, contained within two shimmering towers, you'll be totally spoiled for choice and with six restaurants and six bars to choose from, you certainly won't be left wanting when it comes to a warm welcome. World-class dining options and a tempting gourmet corridor provide a taste of things to come with the excellent Piano Bar offering a world of wine which has been expertly critiqued for your own deliberation. As most guest rooms have fabulous ocean views, fully stocked mini-bars and 24-hour room service, you may prefer to relax in private. Of course, that's not where the fun stops and if you're travelling with kids, they'll be itching to get out of the room to their own pool, or grab a console in the wired teens' lounge - there's plenty of family options to keep your brood happy and active all day long. With four other swimming pools, excellent spa facilities and loads of daily activities, there's never a dull moment and with the stunning Dunn's River Falls just 15-minutes away, getting out and experiencing the very best of Jamaica doesn't get any better than this.

The service was great, especially from the guys at the swim up bar and Sherana from the entertainment team. She would always make me feel special by calling out to me, such a pleasant person. Big up Sherana. This is Bonita

My daughter chose this resort for her Senior Trip. I booked directly through the resort and paid for a Superior Walk-Out Suite. At check in we were given a different room and promised that we would get our first floor Superior Walk-Out Suite the next day at 2:00 pm.

My daughter chose this resort for her Senior Trip. I booked directly through the resort and paid for a Superior Walk-Out Suite. At check in we were given a different room and promised that we would get our first floor Superior Walk-Out Suite the next day at 2:00 pm. The next day at 2:00 pm I went to the front desk to see about it and we were told our new room was cleaned and just waiting to be inspected and to basically just go away and wait for the email telling us we were ready to move to the room I had book. Never got the email and checked with the front desk two more times that day up until 9:00 that evening. We still never got our room. The following day the same thing was done to us; we were told the room we were waiting on had been cleaning and was just waiting to be inspected. We stayed 4 nights and were never moved to the room that I actually booked and paid for. At check out I asked for a third time to just simply be refunded the difference in price per night for the room that I booked and paid for vs the room that we were actually put in. No offer to meet in the middle and simply refund me the difference in price. They didn’t care even after lying to me for 5 days. Very disappointing and this was the worst experience I have ever had overall in Jamaica and I have been to Jamaica three other times and used to absolutely love it for many reasons. Also the majority of the staff in the restaurants were very rude as well. Was supposed to be a very fun and joyous occasion and it was absolutely ruined. Read less
