Runaway Bay Jamaica Hotels from $83

My husband and I were at Luxury Bahia July 10th-17th 2017. The Good: The staff is extremely friendly throughout the resort, not just at the front desk. The private beach is not overcrowded like the other beaches. Water and sand is amazing. The Brazilian restaurant is the best. Make sure you try the grilled pineapple. Bad: Negril :( was so upsetting. If I had gone to Negril first, I would have left my vacation early. Although the water and sand is arguably the most beautiful I have ever seen, the locals were so aggressive that they even followed us out into the water to beg us to buy their items. One man even grabbed my husbands hand to keep him from walking further into the water. They lined the width of the beach so you cannot walk past. Pointers: * We always request ocean front rooms. Ocean "view" might have been better. Our ocean front was very nice but one side of our view was the run down area that didn't belong to the resort. Ocean view would allow you to overlook the pool and activities and also see the beautiful ocean. * If using a washcloth is important to you, bring your own. They give you two washcloths the day you arrive and then the rest of your stay they tell you they don't have any washcloths available. Walking through the halls, I heard other guests ask for them too and were given the same answer. I get the feeling that they think they are conserving by not handing out washcloths; however, it caused me to use the full_size towels more than I would have.

The food was fantastic and the staff was very nice.
