“Brilliant holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 30, 2012 via mobile

I have visited the starfish hotel twice now and I have to save I loved ever second! The first visit was lovely the hotel was clean tidy and had every thing you would need for a brilliant holiday during my second stay they were undergoing some hotel improvements the service was still there but unfortunately the hotel became a bit shabby! The food was lovely and the engertainment staff were lovely! It was a lovely holiday and I would love to go back to see how the renovating went!

“looks lovely in pics but awful in reality”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 20, 2012

The Starfish Trelawny is gaudy, tacky and run down which is a crying shame because the staff in the main seem nice enough. Sadly the run down state of the place and obvious lack of investment mean the staff are up against it - the place struggles to deliver and the dining hall resembles Butlins back in the sixties with its cheap orange and blue plastic chairs.
The aircon in the rooms was filthy and was all on or all off. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages which caused a number of guests problems - my wife included who ended up in Montego Bay hospital with respiratory probs - and if u ever have to go there you cannot imagine how poor the hygiene is (no exaggeration there's blood running down walls, syringe needles laid all about, people walking in with bullet wounds: its like hell on earth) . So, imagine my shock when i asked the chef for some fresh fruit so i could take it to her in hospital - he flatly refused. I pleaded but no use - after trying everything i made an official complaint to the mgr who apologised profusely and got me some, but then whispered just see me if u want any tomorrow !!! Clearly the chef is a nasty piece of work.
The beach is dirty and not pleasant to swim in the 'private island' is covered in cigarette butts and the locals won't let you on or off without trying to flog you something or cadge something. They get quite annoying and aggressive. The restaurants are always booked up early too so, unless u get up at the crack of dawn to queue and book u will struggle to get in anywhere except the buffet. Then there's the flood of locals that they allow in to the resort once a week - why they're allowed to run riot is beyond me but be prepared for that.

“Great for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 15, 2012

Stayed here several times. Good location. Not too far from down town. Good food options, lots of variety. Nice for families. Not much entertainment at times.

“Economical for Jamaica”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2012

Breezes at Trelawny earns all of its 3-stars and then some, The common areas of the resort are in great shape as well as the grounds. The food is good and the staff is friendly.

The rooms are not in the greatest shape and need some help, but who cares about the rooms when you are out all day. If you are into clean, quiet and big rooms this isn't your resort. I would say that the oceanview rooms are noisy at night because of the size of the resort. If you are going to stay here and want it quiter at night, stay at the mountainview rooms, they are furthest away from the night entertainment and will be quiter. The ocenview rooms do not give you a good oceanview anyway.

The elevators also do not work very well and the ocean isn't the best for swimming, lots of seaweed washes up because of the surf in the area.

I still wouldn't knock this resort for the price but it's not the best for seniors, The resort is kinda jammed for the amount of people that are there, it's tough to get quiet time or space.

Room Tip: Stay with the mountainview if you want any quiet.
