This is my 2nd trip to Jamaica in 28 yrs, the first was in Ocho Rios and our 2nd at the lovely Grand Bahia. You arrive to a wonderful open lobby with smiling faces and gracious attitudes. Our room was ready and waiting. The room was a beach view with a balcony over looking the pool side. The only bad... More

I always read tripadvisor reviews prior to travelling as I rely on the information to make educated decisions as to where to stay or what to expect from different resorts & locations. Grand Bahia Jamaica is no different. I also need to preface this with the fact I am a seasoned travellor, I know you get what you pay for,... More

Let me start by saying I have been to Cuba, Dominican and now Jamaica and Jamaica was by far my favourite. The hotel itself is beautiful, the outside of it is gorgeous it doesn't look like any other hotel. The pool is massive, the trees and flowers are gorgeous, the rooms are a bit dated but who cares. The staff... More

Our stay was May 5 - 10th, 2013. Awesome experience from beginning to end. We received the Don Pablo upgrade and it's the way to go. Spend the few extra bucks and be completely satisfied.
