We booked using CheapCaribbean.com. All travel went well with nonstop Jet Blue flights and ground transfers with the exception of a small plane delay on the way back to JFK. Jet Blue is my new favorite airline with the roomy leather seats, free movies and abundance of snacks. I have traveled to at least 18 four and five and six... More

This was the second trip for myself and husband, only this time we too our kids with us. The rooms were ok and the check in went smoothly, we upgraded to the golden club, after the first evening things went down hill from there. The sixth floor smelled disgusting and looked like the floor hadnt been vacuumed since the last... More

Just returned from Jamaica . We e-mailed the hotel and asked for a nice room as it was a our Silver Wedding Anniversary and they certainly looked after us. The staff and food was excellent. Out of 4 a la carte restaurants, 2 were good, 2 rubbish. The Gourmet and Japanese (Tepinyaki?) were really good with excellent service. Evening entertainment... More

This resort is not very old..it was not quite open yet 4 years ago when we got married at another resort in Runaway bay. So we thought we would try it this time. We have a list of pros and cons... some of them are just personal preference. Take them as such. Before listing them.. I have to say that... More

We had an incredible time there. BUT got suckered in to the privilege club while we were there.. Once we got home the stars came out of our eyes and realized we couldn't afford it.. That was (according to the signed document) July 20, 2011. The week after I tried to get my 100% refundable deposit back. To this day... More

The first thing I noticed when arriving at the resort was how clean it was. In fact, throughout our 7 day stay there seemed always to be someone cutting grass or trimming trees or washing floors wherever we went. It made for a very pleasant experience walking across the resort. We had a 6th floor oceanview room and it was... More
