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. Guest rooms offer resort or 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 with slide or play at the splashpad, 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.

Great holiday at Moon Palace Jamaica. This was our first trip to Jamaica and certainly won't be our last. Every staff member is so polite and friendly. If you're English and wearing your teams shirt they'll talk non stop premier league! Our server Melissa by the pool was amazing keeping us topped up with drinks all day. There are also multiple pool bars which are handy when waiting for pizza. The drinks are also very good for an all inclusive. The food is also great with plenty of different options by the pool and on an evening. During the day we recommend the jerk shack. On an evening pier 8 and agra are outside but a great dining experience. Flowrider is an absolute must for kids and unlike other resorts it's included which is a massive bonus. There is also a slide, splash park and a pool with a volley ball net. We didn't go to the main evening entertainment but enjoyed the singers etc in the lobby bar on an evening. It would have been nice if they continued later as we couldn't use some of the other bars due to having a child with us. The only negative is the rooms and in particular the bathrooms are small. Also the hair dryer isn't very powerful but the hair straighteners are OK. We will look to come back but probably to a different room type. Read less

The hotel itself is beautiful, the food is great but the staff is really what makes this place standout. From Antoinette at the front desk, Nicki in guest services, Kadian, Shereda to Jimmar and Shane in the Momo restaurant…the staff is the definition of hospitality and great customer service.
