  2nd Time Here- Good Resort to Visit

  Our second time at this resort, the last time was 7 years ago. We had an ocean view room on the first floor with a king bed. Everything was clean, and the pillows were good. Had to play with the shower to get the right water temp. Food- we went to the Italian 3 times, Smokehouse 2 times, and the Japanese once. On the Italian and Smokehouse, you can change the menu to what you want. Example at the Smokehouse, we didn't want any sausage but more brisket, and they did that. Entertainment- we went to the shows and the sports bar. The Entertainment Team were always trying to get you to come and play the games. Shout out to KK- she has a good heart and is a hard worker. We participated in water aerobics with Zeus each day. He puts you through your paces. Over we had a good time- the weather could have been better but this is not the resorts issue.

  Best Resort Ever!

  This is by far the best all inclusive resort we have stayed at! The food was excellent, the service was amazing and the grounds were beautiful! Our housekeeper Christina kept our room clean and replenished with everything we needed. Our butler Devan was the best! Not only did he take care of things we needed, but he also checked on us throughout the day to see how we were doing!!!

  Underwhelming

  Oh they teeter totter between me never wanting to come again then maybe they resolve themselves. We got offer an “opportunity “ to upgrade fro Waves to the Selections for $375 per room for a week. Sold us on the upscale experience. IMO NOT worth it. Service at bars and restaurants are hit or miss. Most pool bartenders couldn’t even crack a smile. While some employees are wonderful here, others just make you feel uncomfortable. Our TV working was hit or miss. Maybe if I just got my room that I initially paid for, my expectations wouldn’t have been elevated. I dint think I’ll come back.

  Best All-Inclusive Resort Experience I’ve Ever Had in Jamaica!

  This was my first time staying at an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica, and even though I’ve visited several resorts before, this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. The food was absolutely incredible — easily the best all-inclusive food I’ve experienced. There was so much variety that every meal felt exciting, and the Jamaican dishes were especially outstanding. Everything was full of flavour, freshly prepared, and truly added something special to the whole trip. The atmosphere at the resort was perfect. It had an amazing vibe — relaxing when you wanted to unwind, but also fun and full of great energy. From the moment we arrived, the whole place felt warm, welcoming, and beautiful. What truly made this stay unforgettable was the staff. Every single person we met was friendly, kind, and genuinely helpful. When we explained that we are deaf, the staff were incredibly patient and made every effort to communicate clearly with us. That level of understanding and care meant so much to us and made our stay even more special. You can really see how hard the team works, and they absolutely deserve recognition for the incredible service they provide. This resort completely exceeded my expectations in every way. It delivered an unforgettable experience, and I would return in a heartbeat. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, vibrant, and truly welcoming all-inclusive resort experience in Jamaica 💚💛🖤.

  February trip to Jamaica

  We (my parents and I) went to this resort from February 1st to February 15th, 2026. We were not quite sure what to expect from the previous year seeing as this time around we were going following a hurricane. Granted, after recuperating from a devasting hurricane, I have to acknowledge how resilient they are, they greeted us with warm smiles and hospitality as usual and overall the resort looked great (with some areas showing some damage from the hurricane but they definitely worked diligently to get this resort back in the best shape possible for their guests). The concierge/front desk staff were very friendly and efficient in keeping us apprised of when our rooms would be available to us. Everything went smoothly and it made for an easy arrival experience. The Guest Services staff under Tassania and Chrystal welcomed us back with some gifts and a fruit plate in our rooms which was very appreciated. Simone, our room cleaning-lady, took great care of us with spotless rooms, clean towels etc. She was excellent. Yanique our Sunwing/Westjet representative was amazing. She was present/visible and very helpful and reassuring when it came to our questions and she was helpful for tour bookings for those who were interested. The animation staff under Peter and Sparkles made sure that guests were entertained with various games, trivia etc. It was very nice for us to have a chance to reconnect with them (they are like family to us). They have an amazing crew that work hard to keep us happy, keep us active and energized. Thank you (Peter, Sparkles, Tiffany, Fines, KK, Fresh, Mickey Mouse, Too Short, Skittles, Browning, Concrete and the friendly Big Guy) for the hard work and long hours that you commit to in order to make our trip worth while. The buffet restaurant and à la carte restaurants were well-stocked (especially considering they overcame a hurricane). It's unfortunate that some items that are common to Jamaica (ex: sugar cane and bananas) were scarce seeing as they were completely destroyed with the hurricane so we were told they had to restart building their crops from scratch. But overall there was plenty of variety of food for everyone's liking (ranging from jerk chicken, fish, mussels, shrimps, lobster, sushi, Indian food, pasta, pizza, soup, salads, cheese, deserts, fruits...). Every night was a themed night so the dinner buffet menu would vary so that the items served were linked to the theme night. We also had a chance to reconnect with some of our restaurant service staff which was a wonderful treat. They work hard to keep the tables cleaned, to provide us with the required items we are seeking (ex: water/coffee...), they are friendly, warm and very hospitable. A special thank you to Witney from the Italian à la carte restaurant and to Loris, Cassandra, Opal, Suzanne, Diandra, Shante, Roshane, Bevon from the buffet restaurant, who continue to provide excellent service and for whom we consider part of our family. What is nice about this resort is that it is small. Everything is accessible. There are a lot of pool chairs and there is a good-sized section that allows for "shade". The pool and ground our well maintained and very clean. All in all, though the weather didn't cooperate (which is out of their control as this is mother nature's doing), we had a wonderful trip. Thank you from Garnett, Denise and Jodi Gow.
