May 15, 2025Beautiful hotel but entertainment and staff let it down
Okay so am honest review of the hotel. The hotel was beautiful, the beach gorgeous and housekeeping were very good and any problems we had in our room dealt with swiftly. The white and neon parties were the highlight of our stay. Shellyann who worked as a server in the plaza bar was brilliant fun and looked after us and made an effort with us that we didnt receive from anyone else our entore stay. The food was nice with plenty of options and a la cartes were lively with the steakhouse being a particular highlight. Now for the bad sides of the hotel. It's very americanised and catered entirely for them. The service we received was very hit and miss despite tipping everytime. Some staff were pleasant and attentive but most were not and were quite ignorant but seemed to make more effort with Americans. Entertainment staff never seemed to make an effort to talk to you unless you were American and barely spoke to us our entire 2 week stay. The entertainment let's this hotel down massively after 10pm there is literally no entertainment and is only 1 werk program again catered for americans who inly stay there 1 week at a time. The 2nd week of us being there was de ja vu.The drinks here are not very great and are overly sweet and syrupy. The drinks at riu negril were way better. The ladies working in the coffee shop looked miserable and was quite rude. Overall it was a nice relaxing holiday but would not go back there ever again due to the lack of entertainment, terrible drinks despite trying lots of them and the way we were treat compared to Americans.

Julian, from customer service, is EXCEPTIONAL!!. My friend, and I, stayed for 13 days a couple weeks ago and Julian went out of his way every time we saw him to help us in any way that he could.

Somewhere special
Wanting a special trip for my 50th I choose Jamaica for a few reasons, somewhere different, great weather and of course the legacy Bob Marley heritage.. On arrival to the reception it was clear it’s a very lovely hotel, the setting is very lovely and with the sea views it’s quite beautiful. The hotel offers good day activities and evening entertainment is also good with varied things. The hotel offers a few different restaurants, steak, Italian, Japanese etc, main buffer is very good with options to suit all. It be nice to see some for fresh fish on offer, salmon was amazing.. Had soya / oak milk available which was great for the wife. Other restaurants offered a very good selection and standard of food. Particularly liked the daily beach bbq as very well cooked. Yes jerk is hot if wanting. Drinks on offer are good, bar staff are always fun to see and the singing is good entertainment.. Having looked at all the other hotels along the waters edge I’d say this one is definitely the best in the way of setting. Rooms are very nice, a decent size, always very clean, have all that’s needed. We had a lovely balcony with sea views which was very lovely. Beach from hotel is always cleaned (not that is dirty) but looking fresh and inviting to the amazing waters.. Only 2 comments of areas needed for a little attention, ‘a very few’ of employees are not that friendly, one being in the pre booked restaurant (this was highlighted to reception at the time and the other to someone offering drinks on the beach, they walked past us many times without offering anything yet people close got offered? This is shame as it lets the rest of the excellent team down. So question is, would we recommend. Most definitely, a superb hotel offering all that is needed for a fun, relaxing holiday.
