“The architecture offers an unexpected Victorian flourish amid Jamaica's tropical landscape. While the buffet-style dining might feel overwhelming during peak times, securing reservations at the steakhouse or Italian venue provides a more refined experience. The beachfront locale is undeniably stunning, though packing bug repellent is advisable for those early morning or late-night strolls.”

clean beach fantastic entertainment

The beach was beautiful and very clean. The staff always asked if we needed anything. The live band provided fantastic entertainment each night, and the bartender Sillion demonstrated magnificent skills. I loved his drinks!

My room had electrical socket issues. My phone didn't charge, even using a converter plug.

mixed feelings about my stay

the staff were friendly and helpful . they were always available when i needed something.

i was pretty disappointed with the lack of variety in the buffet. it seemed like the same dishes were offered every day, and the quality wasn't great. it became quite repetitive and boring after a few days.
