Worst hotel in history
This hotel is morw like a two star than three. The hotel on arrival looks shabby and the apartment blocks look like lumps of concrete. The main restaurant is plastic. Plastic chairs, tables and no linen. The same poor food evry night and no childrens selection. My 4 year old hardly ate for 2 weeks and he is not fussy. The beach is poor and very small. No glorious sand here. The excursions in house are expensive, we went with a local taxi driver who only charges a third of the price. I have seen better evening entertainment at Butlins on a bad day. It was all over by half nine evry night and then they expected you to go to their nightclub in Montego Bay, where on arrival you are body searched and the drinks are NOT free and very expensive. Plus I did not feel safe. I hope you are getting the picture that this hotel is dire. As I won't evem mention the on site disco,more like a wake. Even the piano player was elsewhere on holiday. Very dissappointed with the lack of entertainment for the...Read more

Great Holiday, Poor Food
I read mixed reviews about Holiday also, but my brother went a few weeks before I did and warned me that the food was not great, and I must say I agree. The best meal of the day was breakfast which was varied and tasty, after that it went down hill. Pasta with tomatoe sauce and pizza served every single lunch and evening meal time. The meat cooked was always tough apart from the chicken. All cakes tasted exactly the same, coke and sprite were always served from bottles and not on draft, flies always all over the food, fish dishes are available at the restaurant but exactly what fish am I eating? Why no sea food?
Once all facilities are locked for the night there isn't anywhere you can go to even get a glass of water if you needed it. The night I discovered this I found a teenager lying flat on her back because she was diabetic and had low blood sugar and needed something sweet to eat or drink, but with all facilities closed there was no where to go. Luckily someone turned up with a ca...Read more

Great Atmosphere
Like most other travellers I read mixed reviews about this hotel before setting off. But, all I can say is IGNORE the negative reviews. The Holiday Inn Sunspree is definitely a place to stay when in Montego Bay. The atmosphere in the resort was amazing. The staff were polite and very helpful. There was a variety of food, including lots of Jamaican recipes to tickle those taste buds and the menu changed daily. Entertainment was at its best. Can't wait to return.

I'm going back!
I had read good and bad reports about this hotel and was a bit worried about what I might find. When we got there the staff were lovely and the room was very lovely too. It was that good I am going back again this year!! Can't wait!!
