“Ya Mon !”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 13, 2013

I stayed at The Sunset beach Resort from 3-1-13 till 3-11-13 and I had a great time. The Resort is the right size so your not walking all over the place to find things.The beaches were gorgeous and the water warm and inviting. The buffet was exactly like all the other all inclusives a little bit of the Native style food along with a Pasta station and salad bars. The Bars served cool drinks, try a Dirty Banana and a Miami Vice YUM. I paid for an upgrade and stayed in the Beach front Cabana . Worth every penny. I walked right out of my room onto sand with the Ocean a few steps away. Way better than taking an elevator up to your room. The Jamaican people are really kind, soulful and Intelligent Take the time and get to know the Tour guides they are full of wonderful Historic information . The local crafters in town can be pushy but a simple I'm good is the correct answer to give when saying no. One thing that i felt a little uncomfortable with was the number of feral cats on the property of the resort. I must have seen more than a dozen walking all over the place. They stalk out the buffet at night and hang around the kids pool. I'm just saying..The staff was great and helpful always. Overall a good choice.

Room Tip: Upgrade to Beach Front Cabana

“Exceeded expectations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013 via mobile

After reading some of the reviews, I formed the impression that this resort was a very good "value resort"......I was wrong.
the resort was excellent..The people was friendly, always asking if you were having a good time. Even the life guards at the kids pools were animated, always engaging with the kids. The food was very good. Excellent jerk, and the Chinese food was awesome. The resort was extremely clean, everywhere you go, you would see someone cleaning, painting, raking....the bathrooms were very clean as well. I observed the staff, always washing their hands, and some were wearing gloves. I would highly recommend this resort, and I look forward to going back next year.

“Short Visit 1/2-1/5”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

This was my 3 time visiting this hotel and I must say management has made some changes. The hotel is not the same, the food went down hill, staff try to do the best they can but they are under staff and over worked. My husband and I enjoyed the Al-Carte resturants more than the buffets.The excercise workout was good every morning. Our room was on the 10 floor and the view of the street was great at night with all the lights and music on the balcony we didnt need to leave our room.
The hotel is not near the town so to get there it takes a cab which can be expensive and not worth it. The pictures are over price for what it cost to make it. bring your own camera and develop when you come back home.
Overall our stay was not bad we will try out thier sister hotel next trip so that we can have a comparison to the Sunset Jamaica Grande.

“Just PERFECT!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 11, 2013

I’ve been to Jamaica twice now, and both trips were absolutely wonderful! But I am also a huge believer in your trip is what you make of it! With that said I loved Sunset Beach Resort! Yes people are correct when they say it could use a few upgrades! And yes I was disappointed about there being NO bar fridges in the room! But ultimately I can’t really complain about much else! I thought everything was kept very clean; service was awesome and oh so friendly! I loved that merchants came to the resort and set up there stuff, to be honest that where I did the majority of my shopping! The food was a lot of the same stuff every day, but it was good and delicious! I was disappointed in the “Beach Bar”, cause I found that the portions sucked, and there wasn’t enough variety! Drinks were delish, and the bartenders listen very well! Though I should state that I do not drink beer, but everyone on the trip with me, including my boyfriend, said the beer on tap was TERRIBLE! And they’d actually walk down to the Casino bar to get one that they could choke down! The entertainment was a lil’ lackluster, BUT again who needs entertainment when you’re vacationing with a great crew of people? The disco I thoroughly enjoyed! It and the casino were all in one, and I loved it! All in all I had a great time! I’d highly recommend it to others, and I will most definitely be going back some day!

“Feb 16-23,2013-paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013

The place is older but the people make this resort. We had an oceanfront room with adjoining rooms, it was paradise. Everyone was so kind and polite Everyone greeted you, no one ever walked by you without saying good morning or good day. Food was excellent, with the buffet and the a la carte restaurants. We could have eaten at the Asian and Italian restaurant every night. We got back from Sunset Feb 23 and would go back to this resort in a heart beat. Renae from guest services is a "sweetheart" and appreciated her help with phonecalls and support. Clive was our taxi driver, he was great. We were in Jamaica 20 years ago and I have to say they certainly have cleaned up their act. I would recommend this property to anyone. We felt safe and plan on going back next year except we are bringing the rest of the family. See you next year. Donna-Lynn
