"I come & go to Jamaica at least twice a year. I have stayed here many times, noting the same staff over the years. I think that says something about the management as well because they keep the staff & they are happy, engaging and ready to assist as needed. The complimentary Jamaican breakfast will be a good start to the day. For me, no need for lunch! The pool & the view at sunset is outstanding! Sometimes the nearby traffic can be loud but it isn't constant. I hope you can a great stay there"

"The hotel and location were great. They offered a hustle to the airport and Pier 1 club for a small fee... which was cheaper and more convenient than taking a taxis. The beach was right across the street, and local shops and restaurants in walking distance. I think the food could have been better. Jamaica is know for it's flavors but the food here was kind of bland. I also wished they had more Jamaica foods like jerk chicken and festival. But other than the food, I really enjoyed my stay."
