Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort Montego Bay All Inclusive

It's a very good stay for the money. We had an ocean front room. A very short walk to the beach. The food in the main dining room is very good as it has a variety of choices. But the food at the seafood restaurant, a short walk from our room, is not up to par. As a matter of fact, it's aweful to say the least. The only complain that we have is the lack of a shuttle bus by the hotel to take people to and from the airport.

We had a great time at the Holiday Inn Sunspree. We spend 5 days in middle of December there to get some sun and ocean and to celebrate our silver anniversary. The staff was always helpful and friendly. Yes, they like tips, however, more important seemed to us to treat them friendly and polite and with respect. We got more smiles for praise of their work and the service than for any of the tips. We had opted for the Deluxe Room and enjoyed a great ocean view. The room was very clean, with tiled floors that got mopped daily. (they don't provide conditioner). The All-Inclusive package is what you need in Jamaica. You don't really want to leave the complex because there are constant beggars, t-shirt sales people and even worse: robberies. We thought it would be somewhat like in Bermuda where you can go everywhere and are safe by yourself, but outside the hotel it was more like Haiti. We had rented a car, however, we only used it once for a little trip, but the streets are in very bad condition and you just don't feel (nor are) safe. We should have taken a taxi (You have to agree on a price before you even leave) or the shuttle to and from the hotel and just stayed there or maybe booked one of the tours. The food was of high quality, good quantities, and very fresh. It offers a nice mix of local dishes and fruits, and standard dishes. We ate at three of the a-la-cart restaurants (seafood, Jamaican, and Italian), however, the reservations are best done the day before in the morning. They only sit so many per seating, though the restaurants appear half empty and could easily sit more. You can only reserve each restaurant once per week which felt a little cheap. Nonetheless, the dinner at the main buffet restaurant was great too, its just lacking a bit of atmosphere and you have to listen to the animation/entertainment. Some of which was okay, but in general the speaker volume was too loud and some of the "games" were an insult to adult intelligence and would have fitted maybe college week parties. They had some musicians and traditional dancers who were good (but too loud as well). We often went to the beaches away from the center to have some quiet time. The pool seemed clean and great for families. The beach is long, has many sun recliners, and some (enough) shade from umbrellas and trees, however, for swimming the water wasn't deep enough. Its great to just lay in it, or to snorkel a bit. There is a reef about 20 to 30 yards from the beach that breaks the waves. They have several out door bars and an adult only area and pool as well for those who come without children. We kept to beer (Jamaican Red Stripe, pretty good beer), soda water, and wine (so so) but others were drinking hard liquor and long drinks as if there was no tomorrow. The staff was willing to fill bigger containers if you brought them. But refills were no problem at all. We had no problems with diarrhea though we drank the water, ate the fruit and salads from the buffet, and had ice cream. We will probably not go back to Jamaica, but that is because of the crime and poverty outside the resorts. Within the hotel we found it very safe, clean, friendly and relaxing.

All inclusive really applies: drinks, non motor sports, evening entertainment - all provided at no charge. Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Beach very pretty, but too shallow for swimming.

This resort has lots off issues and is in need of lots of updates we had a good time but when you are there for a 20th wedding renewal and annv. you should have a great or wonderful time. I was thankful they didn't lose power during Sandy but would of love to had one thing goes as planned and not of had a room that leaked and also not be so broken. The wall was away from the door frame, and we understand Jamaica is a place with less money but the owners have money. I would love to back but not sure if i would go there.

good persone in the hotel help us Raju Campbell ,kimberly and mrs.hopper .good hote,nice stay beutiful.

Nice for the price, you definiety get what you pay for.

The resort has lots of amenities and activities for all ages. If you're a couple looking for alone time or other adults there is an adult pool with swim up bar and the adult only beach. Its located nicely on the opposite side from the larger family and children's pool and beaches. Stay in buildings 6 or 7 if you like quiet. There is a small island off the beach you can walk thru the water to get too. A very nice touch, very relaxing. The room was average, could use a little updating, but comfortable. It seems like all rooms have a porch/balcony. Very relaxing to sit on the balcony and watch the ocean with your morning coffee. The buffet was usually good with a nice variety from day to day. Make reservations very early for any of the restaurants. The buffet was just as good or better than any of the restaurants.

The staff was wonderful! As soon as we arrived we were greeted with drinks and smiles. The staff helped us with everything we needed, and they were very energetic and really enjoyed being there. Over all it was a blast, we will be deffinatly going back!
