Hotels on the Lake in North Coast

"I enjoyed my stay at Deja resort. It was my first time in Jamaica and the staff were kind and attentive. Food was tasty and authentic. The resort was a lot bigger than I expected and was peaceful. I would come back and stay here again. It’s affordable and right across the street from the beach."

"The people are amazing!!!! You could not get a reservation at a restaurant at the resort ever. We did walk in and get in a few times, but that was a bit frustrating. Felt like it lacks ambiance, no music playing in lobby, common areas. Again, the people there are amazing, but the place needs some vibe. Color, music... the decor is so drab, not tropical and fun"

"PRINCESS GRAND JAMAICA – NOT READY FOR GUESTS We expected a polished experience, but this resort feels like an extended soft opening with significant operational issues. Room service is not included and costs $15 per order, which is not clearly communicated. Dining is a major problem. There are no reservations, and if you arrive after 5:45 pm, waits can reach 2–3 hours. You need to line up before 5:30 pm just to eat at a reasonable time. Despite advertising multiple restaurants, access is very limited. Families realistically only have access to 4 restaurants plus the sports bar. Others require no kids and an extra ~$30 per person. Food quality is poor. The buffet was often the best option. The Italian restaurant was acceptable, but most others were disappointing. Food labeling was unreliable, and allergy awareness was inconsistent, which is concerning. Service overall feels understaffed. Pool service is minimal, food wait times can be 50 minutes, and housekeeping was inconsistent, including lack of towels. Pools were sometimes cloudy, and there were safety issues with unsecured umbrellas. Many positive reviews seem to come from guests on the Senses side or with Platinum upgrades, which offer a different experience. That upgrade may be worth considering. Positives: rooms are new and clean, the coffee shop is excellent, and the entertainment team stands out. Bottom line: there is potential, but in its current state I would strongly recommend waiting before booking."
