A friend of mine and I traveled to Jamaica and stayed here for 7 days. For the most part the staff was very friendly. We had no trouble on the check in except we had to wait a while not only to check in but my friend asked to get her room switched but it was al don't by check in time so it was bad for me. I love the half open half inside layout. There's always a fresh breeze and air come thru the entire resort. The staff was respectful and as friendly as they could be. I understand there is a culture difference and even if you think they mean harm, they don't. It's just a different way of life but nothing is intended to be rude or stand offish. As far as the rooms, I think they are somewhat outdated and could use a bit of sprucing up and a modern flare to it, but I also understand that the aesthetics are meant to give a natural and tropical feel. The bright yellow hues, the crisp white and wood furniture, and the open floor and airy layout. It was nice to me The food options were abundant but also very good. It was buffet style so you serve yourself and they try and keep it sanitary as you can when it comes to buffet style. I'm not a huge fan of the amount of flies everywhere but again that comes from being on a tropical island and everything being open to expose you the nature. But I would prefer not to swatting flies away every five seconds. The drinks were unlimited so even if they weren't that strong you can get as many as you like with as much or as little alcohol you prefer. The worst part for me is not them not having any first aid kits or supplies on hand. I scraped my knee pretty badly and there wasn't a band aid or any kind of medical supplies available. We even went to the mega Mart and still nothing. And the gift shop was literally useless. Run by a guy with terrible customer service and overly over priced goods. A bag of 50 cent chips where 2 dollars. 5 dollar bottles of water....it wasn't cool at all. And the pool is too small for such a big place that hold so many. That's why we stayed on the beach. They offer jet skiing, parasailing, glass bottom boats rides and snorkeling as activities to do so the beach is highly recommended. So I would suggest bring medical supplies or really try not to get hurt out here because you will suffer. Also buy as much water as you can because with all the liquor you drink and the heat you become severely dehydrated. And that's the TRUTH. Otherwise I had the best time I could ever have in 7 days

I have stayed at LOTS of hotels in Jamaica and Sea Garden has BY FAR the friendliest, most welcoming staff I have ever met. After the second day they knew us by name, which my kids absolutely loved. I can’t rave about the staff enough, especially Delroy, Shaquille, Georgette, Linton, Edeno, Jerome, Kingsley and the whole entertainment staff(sorry we didn't remember you names!) The hotel itself is very nice, the grounds are beautifully kept and it has a very quaint homey feel. The room was very spacious and the addition of a mini fridge was great. There is always somewhere to eat, whether it is the dining room, beach grill or pool side deli and always a bar open to get a drink. The beach is clean and full of shells and so is the water. There is plenty of entertainment during the day, and the staff did a fantastic job including my kids and making kid versions of all the games. The evening entertainment was all great but Tuesday's Native Show was by far the best! The food was delicious, the only downfall was the availability of kid friendly dishes and overall variety. It was wonderful to have authentic Jamaican dishes so frequent, as most other hotels only offer "Jamaican Night" once a week, but having a few other options would also be nice. Thank you Sea Garden Staff for making my kids’ vacation so memorable

We stayed at the sea garden for one week. I was skeptical at first because the reviews were all over the board. The hotel itself is very nice but also very basic. The only complaint I actually have was that the elevator and the ice machine say they’re out of order but I don’t think they actually ever work. We totally got our steps in doing those stairs but it was still totally worth it. The rooms are clean and they do clean and restock them daily even with Covid. The staff was all extremely nice, friendly and always said hello in passing. The beach is across the street which is private and very nice there’s fun activities there all day long plus a restaurant bar which is all included if you’re all inclusive. The resort is extremely safe I never once had to worry about anything. The drinks are great and always flowing. There was entertainment every night by the pool with live music and activities. It’s a great place to come with kids and it’s only a five minute walk from the hip strap if you’re coming to party and go to the clubs. The food is what one should expect at a standard buffet it has lots of traditional options plus American options of course they keep it more safe and bland but you can easily add pepper hot sauce to spruce anything up. They do rotate the menu slightly each day. They also have their restaurant bar and deli snack shack outside which are open anytime the Buffay is not so there’s always the ability to get food and drinks. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay that’s budget friendly and close to town and literally 15 minutes from the airport I would highly recommend it! If you’re looking for some five star resort that you never plan on leaving you probably should spend more money and go elsewhere. But for someone like us who only goes to our room to sleep this was all we needed.
