"Everything went smoothly at check in/out. The grounds were well kept and the pool and hot tub were clean. The beach is a short walk from the property which was perfect. I would stay there again."

"We had an amazing stay at this villa in Jamaica!
The communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was great to meet the owner who even let us take a few plant cuttings for our home. Chris the caretaker was fantastic too — he looked after us really well throughout our stay and made everything easy.
A special shoutout for letting us stay on after checkout while we waited for our taxi back to Kingston. That small gesture made a big difference.
Beautiful place, great people, zero...

"This is an ideal family oriented gateway. The pool was awesome, the rooms were clean and spacious and the many planted trees and flowers brought ambience to the outdoors. Kevin and Lorraine were very accomodating as well. We experienced few minor issues with the bathroom plumbing and AC units but our overall stay was terrific. We will definitively be back again."

"The resort is beautiful and very clean, which is extremely important to my wife and me. We spent most of our week at the Club Level pool, and that part of the experience was truly delightful.
The downside was the maid service. Our room wasn’t cleaned until around 5 PM, which is unacceptable for a resort at this level. Even stranger, the turn‑down service came only about 90 minutes after the late cleaning. After multiple complaints, the schedule was finally corrected on the third day, and the room was cleaned in the late morning as it should be.
The food was adequate at best — nothing particularly memorable.
Another disappointment was the ocean. the beach chairs and services were delightful; however, the water wasn’t really usable during our stay because of the seaweed buildup along the shoreline, which made it unappealing to go in. We ended up using the pool almost the entire time.
The initial check‑in experience also missed the mark. It didn’t feel welcoming; we had to wait on the driveway for a bellhop to register us with 20 other people, then take a short golf‑cart ride to the Club Level check‑in area. Our room wasn’t ready until about 4:30–5:00 PM.
Once we finally got into the room, it was excellent. We had a fantastic oceanfront view from Building 5 with nothing blocking us. Overall, it’s a beautiful property with great views and amenities, but several service issues took away from the experience."
"WONDERFUP SERVICE , omggg lovely people biggggest resort I stepped foot into great customer service . Nice loving people . I loved it I’m definitely coming back"
"I have been at better all-inclusive resorts than Riu Ocho Rios. They advertise 24/7 all inclusive resort. That is false advertising, no room service. There are very few employees that are pleasant with customers at the restaurants. When I checked in I asked if the two rooms were had conjoining doors and I was told yes but they were not. Building 4 is the building for families and there is no elevator so you have to carry your luggage up 2 flights of stairs, because front desk said we can just take our luggage. In one of the rooms the weather stripping was falling off and the door wouldn’t latch closed. In other room the toilet wouldn’t flush. There was ants and bugs in both rooms because the weather stripping was not existent on bottom of doors. Life Guard at pool was rude. He wasn’t even sitting in his chair where he could see pool, it was windy and one of the girls was spraying on sun screen and he told her she needed to walk away from pool to spray on sunscreen rather than him moving to where he should be sitting. Overall I would never stay at this hotel again. Paid a lot of money for this trip and don’t think the accommodations were worth what I paid."
"Positives
Staff - The staff was very helpful and pleasant.
Grounds - Immaculate
Activities - There are many activities to choose from. You literally cant be bored unless you want to be.
Food - They have a wide variety each day
Negatives:
Rooms - Looks and feels average. There was nothing special about it.
Room Service - The quantity of itiems placed in the room fell short as if they didbt expect us.
Food - While they had a wide variety, the food tasted like it could be better seasoned."
"Overall had a really good experience at this resort. I wish my room was more accessible inside (only had one working electrical socket) and it was a bit cleaner (had a smell to it). Staff was nice and welcoming and the food was yummyyyy especially for my African American taste buds lol I would stay here again for sure!"
"Owner Ms Annika Manager Ms Natalie
A 24hr water failure and appalling management made this my worst travel experience.
5/22 Lukewarm water & low pressure.
5/23 Water shut off mid-shower late night.
5/24 No water all day. Used bottled water for hygiene at 8am. Asked Ms Annika who claimed a main break & tank was being filled. When returned 8:30pm still no water. I discreetly tried to speak to Ms. Natalie, who relayed message through server to say a plumber was working on it. My driver helped me source two gallons of water. When I returned the security checked on the status with the plumber who informed he was fixing a crack. Late night a trickle returned, but the toilet wouldn't flush; I manually bucket-flushed it using the wet bar sink and garbage pail.
5/25 Asked Ms. Natalie to tell the owner my concern about the no water and that I believed some type of compensation would be due and I would like to discuss it before my departure time at 10am.
5/26 Low pressure fed only half the showerhead. Management dodged me until security called Ms. Annika at 9:50 AM. She arrived at 9:58 AM—two minutes before my shuttle pickup.
Ms Annika lied repeatedly, claiming no outage happened and that we never spoke Sunday. Ms Natalie stayed muted, intimidated by her boss. I proposed a fair compromise: give back cash deposit & room charges, which was less than 1/2 night be comped, eventho customary for 1 full night’s refund. She refused, used the cash to settle the bill. No compensation offered"
"You will not be disappointed!! Everyone is very polite, happy to see you at any hour, and will get you whatever you need. The food is excellent at all the restaurants. The rooms are clean and the beach view is amazing. Even on red flag days we had a great time. And the entertainment daily as well as nightly is well planned."
