Hi keri,

You will find what you're looking for at either place. I am pretty sure you will have a great time at Beaches, it is certainly a very good family resort- just very expensive usually.

There isn't much difference between the two resorts really, other that the price. The rooms at Beaches are a bit nicer, the overall property at Starfish is a bit better. There are small extra charges for a few things at Starfish but it still comes out much less costly.

Blessings and respect to you, you will LOVE Jamaica, that's for sure!

Steve

Thanks steve. Knowing that Starfish is less, maybe next year we can go there. It is costing us $8,500 for 5 of us with the beachfront one bedroom suite with concierge, airfare,we fly out of lax. havent priced the other. I am sure it is booked this year so Ill go with a positive attitude to Beaches and try them next if we can. Thanks again Keri
