Beach is amazing. No waves just blue/green ocean. Don't know about the pool didn't stick a toe in. Food was good and buffet was different each night. WiFi available. City was accessible and seemed safe and there is food everywhere, you won't starve. Didn't participate in the night life because we went for a week of relaxation and got just... More

We have stayed on many of the Carribean Islands and have spent much more money for much less service and poorer quality of room. We stayed for 10 nights over the Easter holidays with 2 teenage daughters who had a fantastic time and want to go back. It is not 5 star nor does it cost 5 star pices. What... More

Had a great week long trip there, friendly staff, lovely beach, good food in and outside resort. Only big disappointment was the lack of seafood to choose from being the place is and island. All in all it's a good place to relax, sun bathe, swim, drink, laugh and meet other vacationers getting away from their everyday stress.

We went to Jolly Beach to present at a conference, but took some extra days to vacation and see the island. The hallmark of this hotel is the cheerful friendliness of the hotel staff, and their anxiousness to make sure your every need is met. This trait is typical of everyone, from the buffet staff who fill your water glass,... More
