All dinning whether in the hotel or at a local place is fairly expensive ($30+ per person). Plan on this if you are going with a family. Our meals were regularly $150.

Excellent hotel

I enjoyed myself very much. They waited on us hand and foot. Everybody was very friendly from the time we arrived till the time we departed. I would recommend to everyone. The only dislikes I had was the dinner. Thats only because alot of the menu contained fish and I dont eat it, but they made sure to accommodate me with something else of my choice. They are also kid friendly. Everyday there was something for the kids to do. I didn't bring any children but it was good to see.

Older hotel, but up to Ritz standards

This hotel is a little older than some hotels that we are used to, but has a PERFECT location and a staff that was attentive to every whim. The ocean suites were big enough for the whole wedding party! Two HUGE rooms, two bathrooms, two balconies...incredible. I will stay at this hotel in Montego Bay whenever we return to Jamaica. (The ballroom was one of the most beautiful venues that I have ever seen, and the wedding planner, Marcia, was a huge help to my niece and the mother of the bride, my sister. I would highly recommend the Ritz for destination weddings.)

Elegant tropical escape with Jamaican sun & smiles

The facility and grounds of this resort are truly lovely and very well-maintained. The suite accomodations are particularly spacious and good for families. The food is not stateside gourmet, but it is quite good--better than it used to be. The unquestionably best part of the resort, however, is the ever helpful, ever friendly staff. I think they might say "welcome back!" to everybody because they know that once you have been there, you will return.

Fantastic Time

Great resort and value for the money. Really good food at all the restaurants. We did the Excape To Luxury Plan, which is the way to go. Only issue was that they did not have babysitting at the Ritz.

Underwhelmed

Dure my recent stay at the Ritz in MoBay, I was extremely underwhelmed. There was issue after issue with our stay. There were multiple issues with our room upon check in and when we were excorted to it. Lastly, to top it off the overall exprienence the food is sub par. This required us to leave the hotel every evening for dinner. Breakfast is the only decent meal at this hotel, but expect to pay $$$$ for it. I travel very much for business and stay in many hotels across the USA and world. This was the first time I was disappointed in a Ritz (but note not my first time in Jamaica). There is a certain standard which is expected of this chain and it was certainly not met in the Ritz down in Montego Bay.

Do not go to the Shoppes at Rose Hall. Unless you are looking to buy a watch, they are just a waste of time.

Ritz in Mobay is Best of the Caribbean

Rooms were first class in comfort, decor and cleanliness. Staff is best in hospitality worldwide and always genuinely happy and smiling. Ritz Mo-Bay feels like home. World class chefs, best food in Caribbean, and lots of fresh coconuts. Would recommend for all to be first choice of stay in caribbean, rent a car or take hotel provided transportation and immerse in the beauty and culture of Jamaica. Very private secure and classy, excellent for families as well as clients needing privacy, security and Ritz treatment. Great beach and scenery, close to all excitement and fun of northern side of Jamaica. Great golfing at White Witch, Reside in Rose Hall and located beside Shopping, conference center, great house, Half Moon, and Palmyra. Excellent water sport. Hurry and secure your stay, Most visitors have been returning for years, The secret of the worls and ritz family. I have been visiting for over 10 years and will be back every six months.

Magical Jamaican Vacation

The staff at the Ritz Rose Hall went above and beyond from the minute we arrived at their beautiful resort. Everyone we came across from the chamber maids, to the shuttle drivers to the bar tenders and waiters greeted us with a smile and a warm welcome. I'd have to admit that after reading many of the reviews prior to heading to Jamaica I was somewhat skeptical that the service and the amenities would be similar to Ritz hotels and resorts stateside. Nothing could have been further from the truth. The room was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the ocean and the resort grounds were beautifully manicured. The food was so-so at lunch time but excellent for dinner. The White Witch golf course was great albeit a little too hilly. The views from the clubhouse were spectacular as was the food at the White Witch restaurant. Angela, our server couldn't have been sweeter and picked out two excellent entrees which we selected given our indecisiveness due to the tremendous variety. Also make a point to meet Navar at the Cohoba bar by the lobby. Pours a great rum punch and made us feel like family during our stay. This was our first trip to the Ritz Rose Hall but most certainly will not be our last!

Head to Eve's Table at the Palmyra resort next door. Brand new restaurant with great food and service. Adds a little variety if you want to head off the grounds for an evening without paying an arm and a leg for a cab into Montego Bay.
