“Mo-Bay, mon!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

When we first arrived, we were shown to our room on the top floor overlooking the pool and ocean. Unfortunately, the balcony was enclosed and when you sat down you couldn't see a thing. I called down and asked if we could be moved to a room with an open balcony. We didn't even care if we could see the ocean, we said. Schewa(sp), the manager immediately offered us another room. When he personally took us to see it, we find we have been upgraded to ocean front with a wrap around balcony! ...and at no extra charge! Perfect! That was just one example of the service we received during our stay. The hotel was clean. The pool nice. The beach was good , but after you've been to Bavaro Beach in the Dominican nothing compares. The drinks good. Could have used a little more live entertainment each night. Would have enjoyed a little live Reggae each evening. Maybe we just missed it. The food was typical of all-inclusives...okay, but after 7 days of it, I was ready for a good ole American pizza. The steakhouse, though, actually had very good steak. The staff was always friendly. If you simply want a very relaxing vacation, this hotel in Mo-Bay is perfect. If you want to party, go to Negril. And I would recommend hiring a private driver through the hotel to take you there if you stay in Mo-Bay. So much nicer than taking one of the buses, and not that expensive. ($270 for two of us...picked us up at 10am and stayed with us all day, took us wherever we wanted to go, and brought us back around 8 that night). Worth the 1 1/2 hr. it takes to get there. The dune buggy excursion we booked through the hotel was awesome, also. The horseback riding, not as much.

Room Tip: a lot of the balconies on the top floor have solid walls instead of railings. When you sit down, yo...

“Teaching Vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Went to this resort to teach classes for a week. It exceeded my expectations! There are three hotels. One is good, one is better, one is best. If you did not go to the second and third you would be completely satisfied with the first. There are only two things that could be improved upon. No WiFi in rooms or at poolside. (Only in lobby for a small fee.) and They need more help at the pool bar. People waiting in line to get a drink.
However thre is ALWAYS a place to eat and get drinks. Snacks, pizza,e fries served late into the night.
The resort is clean clean clean and in addition to the daily buffet ther are three specialty resturaunts. The staff aims to please. I never heard the "No" or "I dont know."
The hotel is only 20 minutes away from airport so arrival and departure times are minimal.

“Friendly staff but lack of flavor all inclusive”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

The staff at the iberostar star were amazing! They were so friendly and entertaining. Especially happy feet and friends :). Bartenders were great. Drinks were sugary but that's typically of all inclusives.
The rooms were nice as well as the beach. However don't go it at sunset. I got attacked by something. Try to crash the other resorts. One has a lazy river, the other beds on the beach and pool deck. Just find a towel to blend in.
the food was terrible as in most all-incs and I think this will be my last all-inc vaca I do in a while. Be prepared to have flies on ur food esp. dining at the pool side rest. which still was my favorite. They did have a beach BBQ which was great!
If ur young and into reggae and hip-hop check out Pier One on fri nite. Shuttle bus took us there. It was awesome!
We took a day trip to negril which was absolutely amazing. My recommendation: stay in negril in a guesthouse (non all inclusive) and bounce around. Jamaica is cheap. Negril beaches are amazing, check out the cliff divers & that tourist rest right there. Views r to die for. and there's plenty of greenery everywhere ;)

“Heaven on earth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

We stayed at the Rose Hall Beach the week of February 23rd to March 2nd. We travelled with two other couples and from the moment we arrived until our departure it was a vacation made in Heaven.
The food was terrific and we had no problems other than the tenderloin at the steakhouse was a little tough, but the rib eye was great. The japanese restaurant was both entertaining and the food not too salty. The cajun reastaurant was our favourite and the roasted steak was devine.
Rooms were very clean and fresh and though the beach was obviously man made it was nice for swimming and there were always chairs available and lots of watercraft around for your use.
The staff was excellent, in particular Delbert at the lobby bar, Sedrick at the pool bar , Kadine, Smiley and Lemonhead of the entertainment staff.
The staff was very friendly yet would also not push you into activities if you said you did not want to participate.
If you get a chance try the coconut chicken at the buffett.
We also made a day trip to Dunn`s River Falls é Ocho Rios and were lucky to have Raymond One Love as our tour guide. I strongly recommend him: very knowledgeable, friendly and proud of his Jamaican heritage. Here is his contact information; 1-876-887-1406 or email Bluebird1_2@hotmail.com
All in all it was a wonderful week, would go back in a heartbeat, already started saving for next year.

Room Tip: We stayed in room 1024 and found it was claose to everything.
