"The Good: Most of the staff was helpful and friendly. The reception staff was welcoming and a pleasure to deal with. The greeters who welcomed you for breakfast and at Jasmines were also pleasant. I can't say enough good things about Crazy Legs and Pot of Rice in the entertainment staff :). These people went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a good time. I wish I got the names or the restaurant staff so that I could give them a proper shoutout. The Bad: The food just wasn't that good. I chose to go to the Bahia in Jamaica Runaway Bay because the food was so good at the DR location, I thought I would get a good meal here. I did not. There wasn't a large variety, and the food was either at room temperature or cold. Also, most of the people cooking the food acted like you were bothering them. They barely acknowledged your existence when you asked them a question and were not as warm and friendly as the other restaurant staff. The Ugly: My room was dated.... particularly the bathroom. At first, I thought it wasn't cleaned properly. Then I realized that there was this mold looking substance on both faucets that couldn't be cleaned. I wiped it down with my Lysol wipes and prayed for the best. At the very least, they should remodel the bathrooms. I did not feel good about taking care of my basic hygiene in there and did my best to spend as little time in there as possible. Bahia should do better!"

"Pros - Perfect weather, helpful friendly staff, beautiful hotel and property, perfect amount of walking, lots of lobby seating to relax, wonderful beach with calm sea, abundance of food at the buffet, jerk chicken at the grill is good, tonnes of beach chairs, 5+ pools spread over the property, good evening entertainment, amazing photo staff and reasonable prices, complimentary big bottles of water and fridge drinks, convenient on site parking. Cons - Buffet and restaurant food was bland, restaurant food was meh, limited food options outside of buffet hours - only jerk chicken, burgers and pizza, beach doesn’t have umbrellas - limited coverage from trees, sports bar had limited tables to watch matches, main elevators 1 out of 2 were out of service, drinks were ok, two pools side by side play different overlapping music, resort doesn’t have a nightclub, but sports bar DJ was good"

"Staff was not helpful. Room had insects. Beds were extremely old."

"The resort was beautiful, and the staff was currently polite and extra intensive. I definitely will return again."

"Little Savoy in Runaway Bay, St. Ann was a major disappointment. The property appears poorly maintained and in serious need of renovation. The hot water was unreliable, the toilet did not flush properly, the mattress was extremely uncomfortable, and the sheets were old and worn. Cleanliness was also a major issue, with roaches in the bathroom, dirt under the sink and in the closet, and even dog feces near the patio/dining area. Check-in was frustrating, as I had to wait outside in the rain for quite some time before being let in. The only positive part of my stay was the massage service, which was very good. Runaway Bay is a beautiful area, but this property needs to close temporarily, clean thoroughly, renovate, and improve guest service. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again."

"Not my kind of thing. I like my villa in the DR. Lifestyle Vacations"

"The over all experience was ok. Check in time was 3. We waited an hour and a half for our room. We are not very adventurous when it comes to foods, lunch and dinner options were limited. The spaghetti at the Italian restaurant was very good. The swim up room was great! The pool was massive, plenty of room to move around. The room was clean."

"The staff was excellent, made us feel welcomed and always checking in on us to see if we're ok. Shout out to the front desk for upgrading my room so that I didn't have to share bed with my mom. Shout out to the kitchen/dining staff also for making my mom's birthday special ❤️ "

"Great experience and beautiful resort."
