The Daisy Family Suites at Ocean Coral Spring

The resort is extensive and beautiful! At arrival we had to wait 2-hours for our room after checking in. The room was pretty but had very noisy doors (you couldn't open/close them if someone was sleeping in the room), and the toilets don't have good pressure. Also be careful with the balcony sliding glass door; they can lock easily if you are on the balcony. We were happy with how the minifridge in the room was stocked every day. We never ran out of beverages! (that was a plus) SERVICE/RESTAURNATS: the best restaurant attendant was a lady named Shana-Gay in the main restaurant "Martha's Market. She was well mannered, always remembered our preferences, and a willingness to serve. We also enjoyed the Japanese restaurant "Sakura". It was constant entertainment and delicious food. The Indian restaurant "Thali" was beautifully decorated; however, the food was basically reheated food. The beach restaurant "Snapper" had very unwelcoming service. The Jamaican Grill by the beach was AMAZING for such a simple presentation and setting. Mike's Coffee Shop was an enjoyable in between for when you needed your caffeine recharge, smoothies, or tea. They do have a small variety of cookies, cakes and sandwiches. FAMILY ACTIVITIES: The bowling alley was so much fun! Next to it there is a family room where you have the option of leaving your kids; that was a plus with an air hokey table, pool table, three TV's set up as gaming stations, a popcorn machine, and a board game table. LAZY RIVER: enjoyable but does not have a strong enough current to get the movement needed. It does also have a bar in the pool area of the Lazy River which was a good grown-up hangout. POOLS: Apart from the Lazy River pool, you have the option of the main pool where grown-ups mostly gathered. The Kid's Pool was so much fun with the slides. They stop working at 5:00pm, and grown-ups are allowed on it after 4:30pm. BEACH: The beach was only useable in the "Privilege" area. While the other section was mostly unusable due to all the rocks and algae on the bottom. We were lucky to experience beautiful beaches at Dunn's River waterfall. That compensated for what we had at the hotel. --------------------------- NOTE: Of all the places I have travelled in the Caribbean, I learned that Jamaican hotel employees are largely motivated by tipping. This is not so in the Dominican Republic or Mexico. There are several stray cats which most hotel guest seem to be aware of and come prepared with cat treats. As an animal lover, I was happy to see that there was a welcomed interaction although there are signs that say not to feed or pet them. Also, after checking in, we were approached by what seemed a "Timeshare" employee. In all honesty, that is not our vibe so it seemed annoying to be approached with such persistence. ------------------------ What I loved the most was seeing the Sunset/ Sunrise on the balcony every day! At Sunset, there are horses that swim on the beach towards there night resting place. If you get a chance to see it, make sure to make a video of it. It is quit an experience. Read less

Pros: - Exterior property is well maintained and clean - Excellent pool entertainment team - Great variety of evening entertainment -very Large pool area with lots of bars -Decent food options Cons: - slightly outdated rooms and bathrooms (mildew in shower, odd water smell, water draining issues, rust and stain on couch and curtains) - Poor housekeeping (cleaning is not thorough, missing towels and extremely slow house calls or escalation before someone shows up) - Inconsistency with staff (some are very nice and others are simply unpleasant) - Not enough sun beds under the shade - Quite a bit of pressure by sales staff to purchase timeshare Overall, the resort is just ok. More like a 3 star. Is it worth the money? NO Would I go back? NO Read less
