Well, I was looking for an inexpensive place to stay in Ocho Rios for two night, before I checked into Jamaica Grande. I decided to look for something on hotwire and thus I booked Crystal Ripple Beach. Well, I must say there a few good things about this hotel, the first being the view. It is absolutely gorgeous. The hotel... more

Just a place to relax and forget about the rest of the world. I always enjoyed a restful stay whenever I am at Crystal ripple more

My first day at Crystal Ripple was a great disappointment because my trip arranger sold it as a 3 star hotel. It is not. As a matter of fact I would not rate it more than 1-1/2 stars. They sold it as being in Ocho Rios. It is not. It is located about 15 minutes outside of town in a... more

I stayed at CRBL for 10 nights. During our stay(4 adults) we had the best staff. The house keepers were so friendly and kept the rooms spotless. The front desk people were there to get you anything you needed. There is also a spa on site. Which was so nice to have. You are only steps from the sea. Rooms... more

This is the second time that we have stayed at the hotel, and we think it is a great place, but before you book you need to be aware that this is not 5* luxury accomodation (nor does it claim to be).

The bathrooms are very nasty. Water barely comes out of the pipe and bugs are crawling all over on the counter. The staff members are nice... more

Contrary to previous reviews, our stay at Crystal Ripple definitely made our top 5 best trips ever list. I will admit, when we first arrived which was about 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon, I was a little skeptical. There was no one to greet us, and we had several pieces of luggage. The front desk employees were nice, but not... more

I've stayed here before, twice and there were a few problems like the cold showers and no bathroom outlets but, I was able to overlook that because the front desk staff was so nice. Since then the front staff has changed and they suck. I gave the front desk money to use the phone when I was done I asked... more
