When you dont want an all inclusive
My husband and I stayed at EL Greco with another couple for three days before we headed off to an all-inclusive. The accommodations were perfect for two couples as we each had our own very large bedroom with ensuite. The suites were at opposite ends of the hallway on the second floor. The first floor consisted of a full size kitchen, dining room, sitting room and balcony. We easily walked onto the main road to shop for souvenirs and get local food as well as American fare. You could walk into downtown Montego Bay as well. Included in the room rate were free passes to the beach which was a bit inconvenient if you wanted to spend a lot of time on the beach but the hotel had a very nice swimming pool. There is a great variety store at the bottom of the elevator where the staff was exceptionally friendly, took American money and guaranteed the best prices for everyday items. You can’t beat Margaretaville for dancing on Thursday nights to get the full flavour of island fun. El Greco isn’t a four star resort to be sure, but it suited our needs perfectly and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again, for even longer next time.

IF YOU WANT A FRIENDLY AND CROWDED ATMOSPHERE, GO TO MARGARITAVILLE. THE NIGHTLIFE THERE IS AMAZING! PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! MOST NIGHTS THERE IS A THEME (ALL YOU CAN DRINK NIGHT, ALL WHITE PARTY, BIKINI NIGHT, OR PAJAMA NIGHT).

Good for the Price
First off, if you are wanting luxury or money is no option, then this is probably not the best hotel for you. However, it suited me fine for a quick getaway. Pros: Room is large and you get a decent kitchen/living space. Great staff that is willing to go the extra mile to make you comfortable An elevator ride away from the beach and the main restaurants (hotel is situated on the top of a hill) Free breakfast! Cons: AC is only in the bedroom Room did not have a good view Living furniture and TV need upgrading

Wonderful getaway
I have heard of El Greco Resort for some time. I decided to try it out. I loved the condominium. It was very clean, no bugs. The room was spacious. I had a one bedroom. We needed an extra bed. They brought an extra full size bed, right away. It was placed near the balcony. For the money it is the best I could have experience. The people were, well, Jamaican, friendly, polite, accommodating and darn right humanitarians. The location is perfect, just perfect, across the street from Doctor Cave Beach, which you get to use. When you come out of the Resort you are on the HIP STRIP. I will definitively go back. Oh, Yeah, it is 5 minutes away from the airport. So that means, if I decide to visit another part of the island and stay 5 days, I will spend the last two or three days at El Greco. For the money it is great.

Shopping tip:
Short walk from hotel
If you want to bring liquor home, do not buy liquor on the strip. Wait until you get to the airport. It is really cheap. Much more for your money and they package it for you for easy carry. :) Next time I go back I will go liquor shopping. :) :) :)

Great Vacation
We had a great time at El Greco Resort. The staff was very nice and the breakfast was great. The pool and room was very clean. It was just in an unsafe area after dark.

Quick getaway
The hotel is great for a quick get away and having the kitchen is great to prepare your own food without having to spend a lot of money. The staff is friendly. The rooms are somewhat comfortable; they do need to be maintained a bit more. The applinaces needs to be upgraded. Overall, my stay was good.

Very nice vacation
The staff at El Greco was very friendly and helpful. The room is clean. The location is perfect! A quick elevator ride down and you are on the strip. Doctor's Cave Beach is just across the street and Margaritaville. The only thing I was disappointed about is there is a/c only in the bedroom and the bed/pillows are hard. Other than that we had a great time.

If you like jerk pork, there is an excellent place not far from montego bay airport called Scotchies. Ask any of the locals they know where it is.

did the job...
Everything was fine, it's an older hotel, no frills but clean and the ac worked. Water pressure was pretty low in the night so it was difficult to take a shower, it was back to normal pressure in the morning. The hotel should invest in tank/pump system. The two bedroom suite was LARGE, even with an upstairs and downstairs - but only one bedroom had a tv.
