I was a little worried after reading the negative reviews for this hotel but my husband, two children (9 & 7) were very happy with our holiday and we have travelled through most of Europe so it's not like it was our first trip. I think some people are just a little picky!! The staff were very friendly and helpful,... More

I continue to be amazed by the diametrically opposed reviews of this resort. Though, prior to my visit, I was worried by the negative reviews, I went focusing on the positive ones and had a wonderful vacation as I along with a friend (both in our forties) , our mothers (both in their seventies) and a mutual friend (in her...

40 of us went for my neices wedding. Property is nice. Found that most management staff there don't give a flying hoot about the people there. Photography people quote you a price before you get there. Once its time to buy your pictures and video they almost double the price. They are rude. Elevators in our building didn't work the... More

My family and I just returned from our first family vacation and I have to say, it was wonderful! The staff was personable and efficient. It surprised me how many of them learned our names. The beach was okay, smaller than some, however, there was pretty good snorkeling at it. I saw lots of sea life, encluding a sting ray... More

Our holiday was wonderful, we were there for a family wedding and it was beautiful. Staff were great and very friendly. The resort was a bit large for our tastes but very nice. The travel agents there were helpful but we were sold a VIP package for when we leave to fast track customs and go to a lounge for... More

We were in Jamaica from april 16 - april 23 2012 and it was simply amazing !! I don't understand how anybody could have any complaints about this resort. Do not listen to the negative reviews you could not ask for a better vacation ! The resort was beautiful and the people, staff and other guests, were extremely friendly. You... More

I'm not sure where some of these naysayers vacationed but it certainly wasn't the same Gran Bahia that we were in!! In less than 1 hour of our arrival, along with 25 others, we were checked in, had a la cartes booked, helped to our rooms with a very friendly bell-hop and sippin' cocktails at the Terrace Bar!! We requested,... More

Just got back from a family wedding at this resort and just want to say FANTASTIC. The hotel is very well run with staff working hard everywhere you look. Everyone is happy to look after you and help you enjoy your holiday. A tip is always welcome but the service is not affected if you do not tip. we found... More

I flew my mom down to enjoy her birthday in November. I was staying at a private villa, but thought we would stay at a larger all-inclusive resort for 2 days to celebrate. From the time we walked in, I knew I made the wrong decision. It was such a hassle to check in; it took 30 minutes and had... More
