First time in Jamaica I came to have a great time for my birthday I really like the view, the room was clean ,staff’s were friendly,food was so tasty I can’t wait to go back again
Sea Shell Palms is an amazing stay for an amazing value! I hope the quality and affordability never change. Security Green was excellent with our check in and check out process. The guards and maintenance workers were also helpful, even helped us jump start our car. The free morning breakfast was icing on the cake! Hot and fresh every morning and AUTHENTIC JAMAICAN FOOD! The property includes a beautiful pool, unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to try it out, definitely next time. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a budget friendly, clean, and peaceful place to escape the busy streets of Ochi!
The staff was great everyone was really really friendly and kind. Food was excellent. The entire stay was perfect. Thank you Sea Shell Palms. Keep up the great work

There was a minor issue with check in, but the staff was accommodating and the security team was excellent and I made new friends. Kudos to Mr Green and his team also the housekeeping lady was thorough and the place was well cleaned. I will be back for sure. Close to shopping and the Police Station was in front so I felt safe. I would highly recommend sea shell palms.
I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights then I rebooked it for another 2 nights it came with breakfast which it could be improved a little better with bacon or ham, overall it was a very nice stay also there is a small shopping Plaza there, I would stay there again highly recommend
