Hotels near Montego Bay sign, Montego Bay

We have stayed nearly a week in the holiday inn resort montego bay in jamaica and we were very happy when we left. First of all, we has to say, the resort itself has a very very beautiful beach, calm ocean, what is good for kids, and the gardens/surroundings are nice as well. So we give it the 2 points. But that is almost all what is good about this place. Here is a list of things we did not like about our stay: - Before our arrival we emailed to the resort a few times (about 3 weeks before arrival date) because we had some questions about our stay, all our emails remained unresponded - upon arrival nobody welcome me as IHG diamond member - upon arrival i did not received my IHG welcome points, i had to asked 2, 3 times the following days - Upon check in we got a room, what was told to us, it would be a room upgrade. The room was horrible and we did not like the view. So we asked for another room (by phone). We were told, a bellman will come and pick our lagguage and bring us to another room. But the bellman did never appear, so we had after 12hrs. of flight, with 2 small kids, to carry our things by ourselves back to reception - after beeing in new room, we could not close the balcony door, it was broken, the maintenance we had to call twice until finally somebody came - there is a safe in room but no instruction, we had again to call some technician to explain this to us - there is a huge fridge in room, but no possibility of bringing drinks to room, only by purchase from store, what is non sense in an all inclusive resort - we got told upon check in, we can use vip club for eat and drink, when we arrived there, they told us, kids are not allowed in there, so we had to search another place to eat, nobody inform us about that policy, we were tired and just want to eat sth fast. by the way at this time we were only guest in that vip club, who would we bother then? - many times in restaurant the soft drink machine runs out of all soft drinks, so we has to drink from 1,5L plastic bottles and share them also with other guests. Assistant manager told us, it is because they ran out of Co2 so they are not able to run the soda machines. Surprisingly the soda machines worked few steps away from the restaurant, at barefoot (pool bar). - For drinks everywhere (also at lunch and dinner) they use old looking plastic cups. The plastic cups they wash so quickly, they still smell from other customers, awful. Not hygienic. - staff who deal with food in restaurant or at the bars are not wearing any gloves, they touch dishes or sometimes also food directly with bare hands, very unhygenic!!! (see picture) - some food you see every day, it looks like from 3 days ago and just heated up. It is like „for the guests just the rests“ theme - there are all day and evening some plates from other guest with remaining food in the hallway, very unhygenic and looking not very tasty (see pictures) - all corridors are also full of sacks with used blankets, feels

Our stay in Montego Bay for half a month was really amazing and worth every penny. The staff are very friendly, kind, polite and helpful, which expresses our gratitude to us and we generously recommend it to the staff. Some of our favorite things are the cold wet towels on the beach, the fruit kebabs on the beach, and the staff came to clean our sunglasses on the beach. We also appreciated that the bed was rejected and the room was straightened at night. Turndown food accompanied by turndown is also very good. Compared to other beaches and escape bay beaches in the area, the beach is very clean. The breakfast buffet is very good. The food and drinks were very well prepared. This was the best holiday we have ever had.

Very cool staying experience, and Ctrip is indeed much cheaper than booking in high-end hotels. Every time a five-star hotel for vacation abroad is booked by Ctrip. This hotel is a very high-end resort all-inclusive hotel. You can check in at the reception hall of the hotel before leaving the airport and then there will be a special car pick-up ($33 per person, including pick-up and drop-off) This all-inclusive hotel has a total of seven restaurants with different styles, covering French cuisine, Italian cuisine, Jamaican cuisine, and Asian cuisine in various styles. Although the business hours are different, it is basically possible to eat 24 hours a day. The service in each restaurant is very good. The meals are all formal and high-grade meals, with very high-quality ingredients. Asian restaurants are very popular, probably because they are far away, haha, you need to wait in line. The beach and sea view of the hotel are almost perfect, and the supporting facilities are mature: swimming pool, gymnasium and bar counter everywhere. Small snacks, barbecues and cocktails are provided at all times. During the day, there are yoga instructors and fitness instructors to take you for leisure and fitness. In the evening, there are singers singing for you by the terrace restaurant. After the meal, there is a beach party with the same theme every day. Champagne and desserts are always available in the lobby. In addition to the free daily leisure hotel schedule accidents, you can also order various one-day tours in Jamaica at the hotel. It is recommended that the yacht goes out to sea for $99 per person, but it is extremely satisfying. Breakfast is recommended on the east side of the hotel (it is recommended to get a map after you arrive, this hotel is really super big) buffet Western breakfast here you can imagine. In short, if you can think of any needs, just talk to the hotel, they will meet you. The three of us booked a double bed room at 5800 Ctrip last night for reference. (Not sea view)

I’m a traveling fitness instructor with FitBodies, and this was my third time at the Jewel Grande. There is a reason I keep coming back!! The food is amazing. The views are stunning. The locations to teach yoga classes in are second-to-none! The accommodations/facility are constantly being monitored & upgraded (ie: repairing from the last big storm - a lot of work but there is almost zero service disruptions - very impressive!!) But mostly: The staff are like family. 😊 This year I took my husband and three kids, and not only did they enjoy the all-inclusive experience, but they felt like belonged there. My 11-year old son couldn’t get enough of his time with the water-sport guys on the beach: Dean, ‘CT’, Claude… he couldn’t wait to get up each day and hang with them. Our two teen daughters could walk around 💯 unafraid because not only is the resort completely safe: but it feels like you’ve got a dozen family members watching out for them at any given time! I had a birthday while there and not only did I get a song & a piece of amazing cake, but all that day & the next staff asked how my day had been. :) Special shout-outs to Kevin in recreation, Orlando at orchids, Aubrey at waves, Gary at the lobby bar (my son got his epic vacation nickname from him), Krisaine at LeBouchon, Kimberly from the spa for an epic massage, Shadae at Moonstone, and all the front desk staff and servers on the beach and in the restaurants & workers at the spa… … I could honestly just name names the whole review - no one the entire week made us feel like a nuisance, a hassle or ‘too much’… which is amazing for a family of 5. Definitely visit the Jewel Grande with your family - you won’t regret it. We can’t wait to go back and hang with our friends again as soon as possible!

Britteny from entertainment Team she was so welcoming and full of energy she is one to get me to do the activities and they were so fun and exciting she also give useful information to use around the hotel I will definitely be coming back to Hilton it was a time.
