This is the fifth resort I've been to on the island. The buffet is always the same at all resorts.
I expected a lot for a five star resort but was quite disappointed. The party scene was average. The specialty restos lacked any local flavor which is what tourists want. If you're a first timer you might enjoy it. But there's very little Jamaican about it's quite generic. Get out and see this beautiful island try a bed and breakfast or rental property. The star rating often describes how many pools, bars, restos, gym basic amenities you would expect anyway... This is a DOMINICAN owned resort. Keep that in mind if you're looking for a taste of Jamaica. Oh and for a five star you would think WIFI was included. Not!

We had a great time at this resort! The food, pool, and people are fantastic! The rooms can use a little bit of updating, and we were on the main floor and had some issues with mosquitoes, but other than that this resort was the perfect get away we were hoping for. Only 45 minutes from Montego Airport, is reputable, and is well known by all major tour guides there.

The food at the buffet was quite good, lots to choose from and they mix it up every day. They don't make much at their jobs so tip them at the buffet and they will definitely treat you well. The service we got after leaving a few bucks felt like fine dining.

If you're into snorkeling this is the resort you want to be at - the reef comes right up to the beach! The beach isn't great... I prefer soft white sand and this was more like rocky pebbles, but the brightly colored fishes and sting rays swim only a few inches away from the shoreline, and there is plenty more to see from the snack bar including crabs and sting rays.

The tour companies know plenty about the excursions - climbing Dunn's falls is amazing but take the catamaran option instead of the bus. And if you have the time, go to Somerset Fallls, Port Antonio, and the blue lagoon. It's a full day but SO worth it.

Grand complex. As a matter of fact, the premises although beautiful, were way too large for our liking. Walking to the beach took forever. Not easy for handicapped and elderly! The beach is man made peebles. Shoes are necessary to walk ,no sand. Beach is so so .
They are building an extra wing so they are selling units. They WILL TAKE YOU ON A TOUR and try to sell you a vacation package between $30,000. and $3000, and use most of a good day's vacation!
On the good side the place is beautiful, the food is great, the theater is conveniently located centrally around all the complex boutiques and there are a lot of them! And the pool is huge.

Great place for a wedding, there were at least five or six a day

Our grand daughter got married on the beach. When we got there our entire group was upgraded to the highest class possible which included rooms in the new addition, private pool area, our own bar by the pool, and four restaurant reservations. This was all at no cost to us at all. We all had full access to all of the resort features and had an absolutely wonderful time. We did two tours, Bob Marley, which was bus trip (worth the tour cost by its self) into the interior to visit his home, and a tour to Dunn River Falls. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. The wedding went off without any problems, as did the wedding supper and dance. Overall a fantastic experience and we would return in in a heartbeat. Ten stars if possible.
