Loved It!
We went on a long girls weekend and LOVED IT. The staff was great from the minute we got off the bus, friendly, helpful and very playful. For the most part, the food was pretty good as well, the "reservation" line up is a little odd, but we didn't have any trouble getting in the restaurants we wanted when we wanted. The beach was beautiful and cleaned up everyday. However...THE BEDS stink, but it's not like we spent that much time in them anyway so who cares.

Beautiful Rooms
Rooms were awesome and cleaned daily. Service in room was wonderful and accomadating. Food was terrible and the same everyday. Rarely seafood on the buffet.
Sir Richard was good but service took forever to get a drink. Top shelf vodka was Smirnof and i found that not top shelf at all. Only beer available was red strip which I find disgusting and perhaps others liked it but to have only one choice at an all inclusive
Beach was very dirty. For the most part the service was good as long as you were tipping, even though my package included tips. Very slippery floors in the halls and around the hotel.

Totally chilled out
1st time in Jamaica but been in carribean before - Grand Cayman - but it still came as a bit of a shock to see the state of the roads on the way from the airport. The resort was amazing right from the first moment we arrived at reception. The staff are genuinely friendly and extremely helpful. Our room had a fantastic view over the swimming pools and out to the sea. Rooms cleaned daily and bottles of Rum, Brandy, Gin and Bacardi replenished every 2nd day as was the beer and soft drinks in the fridge. Food choice was excellent with differant speciality resturants - Japanese, steakhouse, italian, as well as the Sir Richard which is the best but hardest to get in to. Shame about the booking procedure where you have to be an early starter to get in the queue if you want the Sir Richard. Plenty to do if you want energetic days on the beach but you are left alone to chill out if that is what you want. Entertainment at night was great fun and the bar staff - particularly Jason Black, George a...Read more

Restaurants
The hotel was beautiful and the service great. The specialty restaurants however left allot to be desired. Who wants to get up at 6:30a.m.to be in the lobby at 7:00a.m. To try and get a reservation. My last day I waited in line starting at 4:30am and managed to get the last 9:00pm reservation. I wouldn't go back because of their messed up system.
