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.

Son's Wedding! Family / Friends 31 Rooms booked for the event! "I recently stayed at Moon Palace Jamaica for my son’s wedding and, unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the 'Deluxe' price tag. While the beach and location are fantastic, the 'Deluxe Ocean View' room (Building 3, Floor 9) was disappointing. The view was dominated by a roof full of AC units, the bathroom was cramped, and a loud, disruptive noise came from the vents all night. Despite raising these concerns with the front desk and Public Relations, no assistance or accommodation was offered. Additionally, the wedding gazebo ground is stained and badly needs a pressure washed, which sadly shows in the professional photos. As a frequent visitor to Jamaican all-inclusives, I found this resort overpriced for the quality of food and room standards provided. I likely won't be returning." As for the $500.00 credit offered to the guest it was a total sham. The credit can only be used on very limited items. My next trip to Jamaica is in September & I will be staying at my usual all-inclusive 15 minutes away from the town of Ocho Rios. Very disappointed in this resort. Read less

I received a massage at Moon Palace Jamaica’s spa last week and it was phenomenal. I’m a retired clinical massage therapist myself, trained in New York, where the standards are very high, and went into this with not the highest of expectations. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. My massage therapist, Vinette, was absolutely amazing. She was extremely professional in every aspect, down to the last detail, communication, and even the draping. A truly kind and happy soul, she was very attentive to my needs, requests, and body language, and her technique was very thorough and smooth. It was evident she had been in practice for over a decade, 15 years to be precise. The spa is very vast, and use of the spa amenities come with your massage. I highly recommend booking a massage with Vinette during your stay at Moon Palace. Enjoy! Sherri Read less
