Good location in the middle of downtown Ocho Rios. Breakfast was good. The front desk charged me twice & has an old manual paper system to document stays so my money could not be refunded without a lengthy research of their “files.” Now, a week later, I am still pursing my money back telephonically from the USA. Major inconvenience.

My stay at Sago Palm was excellent, the breakfast options were great and so was the food as well. I celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday and got our room decorated and it was worth it! Our 2 night stay was extremely comfortable and the hotel is so clean and the ambiance is amazing! The staff were exceptional! Renneil at the front desk was super helpful and made our check in process run smooth. All in all it was an awesome stay!

The Sago Palm Hotel was amazing. It was everything the pictures show. It's located in the center of Ocho Rios, within walking distance to bars, restaurants, local activities, a major chain hotel, and all the excursions. The only downfall for my group was the hotel had no nightlife, and the pool was cold (but beautiful). The staff was all nice, and the breakfast was great. I wouldn't do all-inclusive here because it is not a very large hotel to just stay in all day. The locals were very friendly, we did encounter harassment from a local which the hotel informed us (being all females) but the security at the hotel made us feel comfortable.

I stumbled upon this property on Travelocity and when I got there, the service was very top-tier. Everyone was friendly.. the check it was very easy the staff is very helpful. My room was exquisite, clean, and really comfy. I will definitely return to this property. I was able to walk outside and go to the market went up to the local stores. It was perfection.

Pros: There is a Security Gate. Cons: No one other than security available after Midnight. No dresser in bedroom...pain in the butt living out of a suitcase for a week! No pots/pans/utensils/silverware/dish soap/papertowels in kitchen...Usleless upgrade! Bathroom lights are located outside of the bathroom so poorly designed. Air conditioner in living room...living hell...water and chunks of ice kept falling onto teens sleeping in sofa bed. No view, windows have some covering on them but you can see shadows of people walking by. No cold bottled water/soda etc.all given warm and must ask for it. No ice machine, again must ask and wait for it. Do not book if you have kids/teens as there is nothing, I mean nothing for them to do at this resort other than a tiny pool with 3 layout chairs. Alcohol is not included, already knew but 1 rum punch was $13 US. Rip off! All inclusive food: Serve only breakfast, lunch and dinner at specific times. Only fancy food, mostly prepared Jamaican food, so much time is wasted waiting for meals. No finger food in between scheduled meals like chicken fingers/pizza so we went to Little Ceasers etc for food much quicker. Staff moves so slow for everything! We upgraded to 4 person room so Jamaican nephew could stay with us, they charged us $112 US every night even though he only ate 3 times!! Tried to explain we did the upgrade through Expedia they said nope and charged us for all 5 nights on our card. I've been to Jamaica 16 times this was the worst!

At Sago Palm Hotel, we value and encourage feedback from all our guests as it serves as an invaluable tool for continuous improvement. We take every review seriously, as it enables us to ensure that our hotel's services consistently exceed expectations. As a new establishment, we anticipate initial challenges, and feedback from our guests plays a pivotal role in refining our services.We particularly appreciate honest and trustworthy feedback, as it provides us with genuine insights into areas where we can enhance the quality of our services. Unfortunately, when feedback contains inaccuracies or deliberate misrepresentations, it paints a poor and misleading image of our hotel, hindering our ability to make meaningful improvements.It's crucial to clarify that Sago Palm Hotel is not an all-inclusive property. Our offering is a Full American Plan (FAP), covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with unlimited non-alcoholic beverages. You booked a FAP (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Additional meals and alcohol drinks were charged separately as it was beyond the plan you paid for. You were aware of the policies.It is essential to address the issues in a factual manner:• you were expected to adhere to the terms of your reservation in which you were aware of, including charges for additional occupants.• Attempting to evade charges for meals and drinks for an unauthorized family member is against our policies. Your reservation was for 3 paid persons, yet you tried to sneak in an additional person (your nephew) as the fourth person to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner for free. You broke the rules and policy of our hotel and were explained that to have an overnight guest you had to pay for them to eat all 3 meals daily.• Your Daily interactions with staff included positive feedback about your room and food service were reported by you, making your statements surprising.• Specific incidents of excellent service, such as your family member enjoying the meal to the extent of licking the plate in the Restaurant were noted by the restaurant staff• A continued thorough investigation revealed further inconsistencies and deliberate misrepresentations. Our front office staff is on property and available 24/7 for all guests. You reported an issue with the AC unit. It was promptly reported to Maintenance, however, you declined maintenance personnel in the room to inspect the AC unit as you afterwards stated it was working fine.• Closets and bathroom lighting are standard amenities provided in all rooms.• Any shortage of utensils or equipment could have been rectified by informing housekeeping or the front desk if more were needed for your use.• The hotel offers a diverse menu with varying options each day, including international and Jamaican cuisine. You specifically requested and ordered Jamaican breakfast daily even though we offer eggs, pancakes and other varieties. We apologize if Herb Crusted Salmon and Rosemary Chicken which were some of the din

Lovely boutique hotel near everything you need. Check-in experience was great..greeted with rum punch and/or water. Room was clean and modern. Only the pull out mattress was a bit uncomfortable. The food and service itself was good, but we did find some unappetizing ingredients (non-food) in our desserts.

I prefer room with balcony or at least a view of the outside. However, what this property lacks is more than made up for by the excellence of the staff. Everyone made me fell welcome & were helpful, including the front desk, restaurant staff, housekeeping and even the security people at the entrance gate.
