The Daisy Family Suites at Ocean Coral Spring

We went Jan 2-9. Upon arrival we went to see if we could possibly check in early and the room wasn’t available yet so we had some lunch and wandered around the resort. Check in is 3pm so we went back at 3 but still wasn’t ready. We got to our room a little after 4. The desk staff were all so friendly and helpful as well as the bellman who took our luggage up. We were on the 5th floor 1541, I didn’t pay for the ocean view rooms but this whole side you see the ocean from which was super nice. The rooms all have the egg shaped swings on the patio except the 5th floor which was a little bummer for my daughter she wanted to sit in one so bad. The food is just amazing here. The Jamaican patties at the red snapper were my go to lunch we would order a plate of them and snack. The chocolate cookies in the coffee shop was another favorite. Do not miss Sakura. The vibe in there is great. Super fun. Route 66 the sliders and the chicken salad were great! Buffet was also top notch. The breakfast crepes were so good. The beach was not really what I expected. It’s very rocky and small pockets of the blue water. Was still nice to be there though. Seemed to always be able to get chairs also. The hammock in the water was cool. Bowling alley was fun but always busy and only opens at 3 same for the family lounge. We had 3 rainy days at the beginning of the trip, it was a struggle to find stuff to do. The lounge has a few ps5 and Xbox, pool table, fooseball, connect 4, jenga. Kids club has a few activities going on but not too much I also found that they would cancel things that were on the board which is disappointing when your child wants to do that. I found the entertainment team they have are great but there doesn’t seem to be enough of them. There was not always something to do. I am used to going to Riu hotels where there is always something happening and some sort of entertainment at night. The first two nights the entertainment was a movie in the theatre. Both nights it was Toy Story. Next night was lion king. The magic show is a must see. I thought it was going to be cheesy but he was really great. They had oceans got talent which was fun, the guests come up and do their thing. They had a small kid one before the big one but in the family lounge. Our last night they had a beach party, mechanical bull, bounce house. Was cool but I think had a power issue. They had some dancers and some acrobatics which were really good. There are some vendors on the beach. They are all super friendly. They ask you to go see their booth. Just go look. You don’t had to buy anything if you don’t want to. We got to know them well as there was puppies over there and every morning we would go feed them and see them. There is a man named Sunbeam on the beach that is a tour guide. I usually never use the beach guys but after talking with him and him being so kind we figured we would take a tour with him. We had the best time! He took us to the luminous lagoon first, DO NOT miss this. It is amazing!!! He got us there before the crowd and patiently waited for us, told us to take our time and watch the fire dancer. He was way cheaper than the sunwing/nexus desk. Not just that but you are supporting a local opposed to a billion dollar company. Next we wanted to go shopping for the day to get out of the hotel and see some stuff. We went to Ocho Rios. Super fun as we had stayed there 20 years ago, was neat to see how much it had changed. We did dunns River falls which was cool! Sunbeam is very personable, knowledgeable and kind. He answered all the questions we had and we had great conversations! We went again, this time further into Montego Bay. He showed us the hot spots. We saw the hospital which a portion of it has no room. He says when it’s raining people sit inside with the umbrellas up. We hit some local spots, there’s a small road by the ocean that the all hang out I cannot remember the name but it was really cool. I do suggest that if you are going to book an excursion to use Sunbeam. Save yourself some money and support a local! The store has a ton of stuff some of it very overpriced. But if you aren’t going to go to the beach vendors or shop elsewhere I guess it’s your only choice. I didn’t like how the staff follows you around as you are browsing. Airport has lots of stuff there at decent prices also. The concierge lady we had was very nice. She asked if we can do a breakfast meeting to talk about things and we agreed. I didn’t realize it was a time share style thing. So we had another lady sit with us we had breakfast. She told us it would take an hour and it was almost 2.5 hours. After breakfast we had to walk to her office. She showed us all the privilege stuff. The said it’s not a time share that it’s a vacation club. They make it all sound really good. The boss guy comes over and gives you his paper with the super deal down from 30k to 14k when we said we need to think about it he got very snippy and said great that means we will never see u again and he stormed off. I told the girl that we would have to look into it as I never heard of h10 company before. She was pretty much done with us after that. Upon googling it, it seems like it’s not great and people have issues with it. My only complaints about this resort is the lack of entertainment and things to do for kids and also the smelly air machines in the lobby. They smell overpoweringly of orange. It’s not good for those with scent allergies. I couldn’t go in the lobby and when I had to I ran through and covered my face. Staff all super amazing. Especially the lady with the short hair at the ice cream stand. She was amazing. So kind! I didn’t catch her name. Food amazing! Read less
