My family and I, 4 people, stayed there for 8 days in July 2026.
The resort is beautiful and has a lot of activities planned for some very nice entertainment.( shows every night, live piano in the lobby, family lounge, bowling, VR). The food at the buffet is excellent and has various themes going on along the week. The Italian restaurant is OK, but the fried calamari and steak and salad are worth the stop. You have access to very different restaurants that all carry very good food ( Route 66- barbecue style, the Thali- Indian food, the Sakura- Japanese and a jerk shack where you can eat the local food).
At the buffet, I would like to particularly thank Raquel, Claudia and Aquesha who’ve been our waitresses. 3 extraordinary women, who gave us utmost attention and Kindness.
Shandace at the bar next to the ice cream station was also somebody who stroke us with her kindness and professionalism. And not to forget about Neresa at the family lounge, and all the staff at the lobby bar. Everyone we encountered with were beyond kind, welcoming and eager to help us.They made up for the few cons I would like to underline.
1st: the room cleaning service was not totally on point , towels and mini bar refill wise. We had to call the reception on several occasions to request some towels , water and beers. Despite that, the room was very clean.
2d: One of the salesperson at the souvenir store, the one located close to the ice cream station was beyond rude and should definitely be addressed by her manager for her unprofessional behaviour. She rudely spoke to me and had the nerve to call me “ honey”, with a disrespectful attitude, when I politely and kindly ask if I could have some change, after I paid for my items.” We don’t do change in here honey”! Excuse me ?? I replied very coldly that I wasn’t her honey. I really felt disrespected, and taken aback by such rudeness. Thank God the other girls I previously mentioned made me forget about this incident.
3rd: Nothing to do with the people, but the beach was also just ok. Beautiful fishes to see yes, but very shallow and partially rocky with no deep end to swim freely. However, it is very picturesque and family oriented.
Overall, we highly recommend this resort for a quite and relaxing family vacation. Note that it is 45 minutes from the Montego Bay airport, so you have the chance to see sights the city.
