Runaway Bay All-inclusive Independent hotels in Ocho Rios, Jamaica

My Husband, 8yr old son and I had a great time at FDR. Always something to do. Only left the resort one afternoon for an excursion. The nanny showed up at 9am, took our son for a tennis lesson and my husband & I would workout, drink coffee, etc... then we'd all have breakfast @ about 10, while the housekeeping was done. We had the perfect balance of family & adult time. The resort is the perfect size, perfect occupancy, ALWAYS something to do or just hang by the pool. We tipped out at the end, but only to a few people. Everything is included, even tips. Snorkeling, booze cruise, kayaks.

Don't be fooled by anyone telling you Jamaica is dangerous or unfriendly. Jamaica is a perfect vacation island. The Jewel is small and friendly, the staff are the best part of the experience, always willing to please. We went out on 4 different day trips, the luminous lagoon is a must, the horse ride in the ocean another must. Everyone you meet thanks you for choosing Jamaica, they really appreciate the tourist business. Jewel food is not gourmet quality but its fairly good for an all-inclusive resort, breakfast is the best meal of the day and there are choices with the Italian and Japanese cafe's. We booked a beach cabana everyday and for $50 per day it just makes it perfect. Very family friendly, your kids will find plenty of friends. Very clean, bottom line highly recommended.

My husband and I totally enjoyed our honeymoon at Royal Decameron- Club Caribbean. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was very courteous and friendly. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a "welcome home" and served a cold beverage, this was a new and pleasant experience for us. All categories of staff were very courteous, pleasant and helpful. The French translators/entertainment co-ordinators were also very friendly and fun loving. We enjoyed the entertainment and the food. Our only regret was that we discovered some of the entertainment when we were leaving and we also missed Jamaica day and night (due to the time we checked in and out). overall, our stay at Royal Decameron-Club Caribbean was a wonderful experience.

Wonderful experience!! I read alot of reviews before going so I pretty much knew what to expect. It is a smaller resort but very well kept. The staff are awesome they were all so very accomodating and nice. The entertainment staff are the best Omar, Gary and Storm are GREAT they are so energentic and happy they definitely helped to make our stay there fun! They hosted games and contests throughout the day with a different show each evening. Shout out to Barney the bartender best drinks ever and so very nice. The food was really good not a huge selection but everything they had was good from the jerk chicken, mixed vegetables, fresh fruit, and the last night we were there they had some really good lasagna and pasta bar. Definitely an unforgettable experience and the staff really helped to make it as great as possible. We definitely left feeling more like friends than guests, miss them all already I can't wait to go back.

Stayed for three day didn't want to leave could not fault the hotel

Staff was very nice and accommodating. Food was decent, not great. Service at the Italian restaurant was very slow, took over an hour for our entrees to come out and it was not that good. Drinks were good and lots of bars. Would have wanted more beach activities like kayaks, etc. Room was spacious, clean, and comfortable.
