“Absolutely Amazing!!!”

Sunset at the Palms

May 2, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

I have been back from my 2 week holiday at SATP for just under a week and I am so depressed to be home. This place is AMAZING! So beautiful and peaceful.

The best thing about the holiday was the staff. They are all so hardworking and friendly. A few guys made the holiday extra special:

Greg - this guy has got to be the best bartender ever (even if he does make his drinks incredibly strong!) Your galss/cup is never empty when he is around. He is so lively and always dancing. I will never forget him!

Omar - such a little cutie! Always laughing and smiling. Plus he makes up some fantastic drinks. He made us feel so welcome.

Randie (head chef) - one of the most interesting people I have ever met, I could talk to him for hours. He is such a hard worker - I don't know where he gets his energy from!

Ian (the pool guy) - so funny! Had me laughing most mornings. He is full of advice too and will go out of his way to help you.

Garth - so hyperactive and bubbly. He has a very contagious laugh too!

The grounds are truely beautiful and so well maintained. I loved all the flowers.

The beach is absolutely gorgeous and kept so clean. I didn't go in the sea because I am too scared but my partner enjoyed going for a swim. It is a lot hotter down the beach than what it is by the pool though.

I am a REALLY fussy eater so I struggled with dinner sometimes but my partner liked the food. I just used to fill up on burger and chips at the beach grill! The only critisim that I would have about the dining experience is that it is VERY dark in the dining room and it is hard to see what you are eating. Other than that it was great and the waiters and waitresses are really attentive and helpful.

At night the entertainment did finish rather early but that is when the fun begins!! The barstaff are all the entertainment you need - especially Greg, such a fantastic singer and dancer! Most nights we would be up until 1am (bar closing time) just having a laugh!

There were just a couple of things that I didnt like:

Bugs and Lizards in the room - they are cute when outside but I am too much of a girl to have them in the room when I am asleep. Most nights I had my b/f chasing lizards out of the room.

Room cleaning - almost everyday we would return to our room at about 4pm to get showered and ready for the evening to find that the room hadnt been done. It got kind of annoying but they did come while we was at dinner.

The corner of the bed - it is lethal !! I have the bruises to prove it!

Big Bites - they werent mosquito bites, they were little red ones. I didnt suffer that much but my b/f was covered in them. Didn't really itch but just look ugly!

This was my first visit to Jamaica and it certainly won't be my last. Such a beautiful country and so welcoming. I truely have fallen in love with the place.

Big hi to Greg, Omar, Randie, Ian and Garth - Miss you all LOADS!!!

Love Danie (Pinky) xx

“Spoiled at STAP”

2/2 found this review helpful

I had the best time of my life. This was my first trip anywhere and I don't think I could have picked a better resort. I am spoiled now because if I went anywhere else it would not even come close to this resort. I enjoyed every second and everyone. I studied all the resorts for a year but when I saw this one I had to go, I was not one bit disappointed.

It was quiet and relaxing and the staff were entertaining as well as helpful. I loved getting up and laying on the daybed and listening to the birds. We stayed in 709 which is near the back. Yeah Mon.

The room was spacious and clean and the balcony was quite private.

The food was delicious and I am a fussy eater and I didn't go hungry. The cheesecake was yummy. I didn't get a chance to try the Lotus Leaf but I will when I go back.

The staff was very friendly and couldn't walk past you without saying hello. Smiles were everywhere. You can ask anything to anyone and you would get an answer and some helpful hints. This being my first trip I was unsure of a few things. Thank staff.

The pool was great even though I spent most of my time on the beach which was "Yeah Mon". The water was warm and crystal clear and a fish like me was home.

The entertainment was great. They were always mixing with the audience. Yeah mon.

If you want a quiet and relaxing vacation without dealing with alot of people and space to move and breath with trees and flowers surrounding you, come here. Take the chance to do the nature walk with Shorty.

All I can say about this resort is "YEAH MON". I hope to return again.

“Best Honeymoon we could have hoped for!”

4/4 found this review helpful

We stayed a week for our Honeymoon, and we got the best of both worlds: Tranquility & Fun. When we felt like relaxing, we could go to the pool, the beach, or just stay in the awesome room, out on the daybed and listen to the birds in the day and the tree frogs at night. If we felt like having some fun, we could go to the pool bar, or the beach, both were a blast. The staff is super nice and there to serve you, although you never feel they're below you because they are so fun and friendly. We met lots of very nice people, saw a very cool culture, and relaxed, relaxed, relaxed!! Can't wait to come back!

“Our Little Secret”

Sunset at the Palms

Apr 23, 2008

My family and I just returned from our fourth trip to the PALMS. When we checked in it was like we never left. We found this place by accident our first year and have never regretted it. The rooms are fabulou s, the grounds breath taking. The staff all hold a dear place in our hearts. Greg being the best friend one can meet,has touched us all. Mrs. Powell,Andrew and Dwayne have always extended themselves to us and our children. Now this is not your typical family resort... But our kids love it. Every year when we leave we say this my be our last year..and no sooner I am booking for next year. Their ages of 16, 15, and 11have never been an issue. They love the beach and locals.. I truely believe this is our PARADISE madeline and TED

“Truyly a jewel!”

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Jamaica, where we had the chance to stay at several resorts throughout the island. Some were large, with elaborate facilities and lots of programmed activities, while others were smaller, much quieter, and more intimate. Sunset Palms epitomizes the pleasures and the benefits a smaller property can bring to a 'get away from it all' vacation. The buildings, grounds, beach are all extraordinarily beautiful. The food is pleasantly surprising....by far the best buffet food we have ever had....everything is fresh, texture is great, and the flavor is fabulous. When you combine this with a staff who is genuinely warm, caring, and attentive, you have the formula for the most relaxing holiday experience ever!
