Was there for new years. Spent a week. I'm a budget traveller so I've seen quite a bit, however NEVER this bad. Everyday somebody would be at the front complaining about the water problem (lack of water). I hooked up with some guys and over the week I would shower and different peoples hotels. THAT"s how bad it was. I'm not a complainer so i figured deal with it the best that I could.

Staff is great, Peter in particular tried his best to get us water. However, the sliding doors don't lock at all, and when you are on the ground floor not a very safe feeling.

The pool was disgusting, never anybody at the bar (or so called bar). For coffee Peter would boil some water for me and give me instant coffee. That's the extent of the cuisine. Overall very very disappointed.

It's the management that doesn't want to spend any money, however, in time, this place will definetly go out of business. That's GUARANTEED.

I stayed at Paradise View hotel last summer and would not stay there again. My room was clean and the staff very nice but the management of this hotel should take a look at improving things there. I see that having water for showers is still a problem, even after all these months. It was most frustrating to get up mornings to no water, then try to get ready to go out and not water for a shower. Sad, but I actually kept a few bottles [that I had brought with me] full of water so I could wash up using this water.
The dining room was never open the whole week I was there and the pool was closed for the first few days due to "broken pump"! So few guests there that I did not feel safe most of the time in the eve. Doors did not lock properly and I found a stick to put in the slider to give me more of a sense of safety. Very poor reception on the TV and yes, if you are a single traveler, you do need a TV! This hotel has lots of promise, is only the owners would take a look at what goes on there. You get what you pay for----almost! Stay elsewhere!

I do not consider myself a high maintenance person when it comes to sleeping accomodations in Jamaica. I like a clean room with hot water, fresh towels, and clean sheets. That is not what I got at the Paradise View Hotel. The hotel lacked even the basic necessities - not amenities but necessities. I looked at 3 different rooms and ended up staying in 2 different rooms. The first room I stayed in did not have any water when I needed to shower. The second room I looked at had trash in it and urine in the toilet. The room I spent my last night in was cool, but the hot water wasn't working very well and water pressure was very low. The beds slept well, but the sheets were dingy. They needed a good bleaching. If you like TV then the TV had cable/satellite, but most of the stations were fuzzy and had static noises in the background which made the TV unwatchable.

I only spent 2 nights at the hotel due to overbooking at another hotel. I stayed around New Year's Eve, and I will never stay there again even if it's free. If you want to stay at this hotel, request a room closer to the office. Those rooms seemed to be used more frequently, therefore, they are cleaned more often and the decor is a little better. The experience did not ruin my trip at all though. As previously planned before arriving in Negril, I left Negril and went to stay in MoBay for a week. This hotel made my 3 star hotel in MoBay look/feel like a 5 star hotel. :-)

Paradise View in my opinion after visiting many budget hotels in the area was definitely my worst experience. They were ill prepared for us upon our arrival, rooms not ready had to use a vacant room with other travellers to change and await our rooms which took a few hours. Room was not as clean as should of been, towels very sparse, the worst part was the breakfast that was included, I actually prefered to eat elsewhere even though it was included in the price. Eggs cold/slimmy, coffee in which the spoon could hold itself up in. They advertised Satellite TV, but no just TV, not even sure if it is classified as cable. There is definitely better places for the same money. Thus my title " Money Better Spent Elsewhere"
