We had a wonderful stay. The property is on a perfect part of bloody bay. Can't beat the sunsets and the bay is very calm. The property is clean however the lack of elevators caused a lot of problems for me and my partner. Please put in elevators. Also the 24 hour lounge is just blah. The food is mediocre at best. Always old and dried out food. Wish we had a sports bar like on the sister resort. I also wish there were better options for room service menu. The food is so limited. Why not provide burgers and fries and some pasta dishes. Warm dishes for your guest who are feeling unwell or exhausted from climbing 3 flights of stairs in a very humid environment. I think adding a club option would help to provide more options for those who want more luxury. Aside from that we had a great time. And if we see some improvements we will be back in a heartbeat.

This property was very well taken care of. The rooms were cleaned every day. The staff was wonderful from the house keeping to the security, they were all very friendly and courteous.

From the moment we arrived, everything felt like a dream. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel like family. Our room was spotless, stylish, and had a breathtaking view of the garden —waking up to that every morning was pure magic. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and served with care. We especially loved the local dishes and tropical cocktails by the pool. Whether we were lounging on the beach, enjoying live music, or just soaking in the sunset, every moment was unforgettable. This hotel made our Jamaican getaway truly special, and we can't wait to come back
