Caribbean Adventure Vacations

Let me share my thoughts on this resort by outlining its pros and cons. First, the food was amazing and plentiful. All the restaurants were worth checking out, and the hibachi had a delicious Jamaican twist that I thoroughly enjoyed. The beach was acceptable, though it was a bit rocky with seaweed; however, it was mostly clean. The pool, on the other hand, was very clean and spacious, providing a great place to relax. My room was decent and tidy, but I did have an uncomfortable encounter with a maid. I walked into my room and found her using my bathroom, and she attempted to deny it. It was confusing when she closed the door on me while I was trying to enter, forcing me to wait several minutes. I even noticed an unpleasant smell, as if she had been using the bathroom. When I brought it up, she had an attitude, suggesting that there were restrooms outside she could use instead. Another downside was the bartender by the beach, who seemed to cater more to fair-skinned guests rather than people of color. This was frustrating, especially since I enjoy tipping when I receive good service. On a positive note, the shows were fantastic and kept both adults and kids entertained. The staff members performing by the pool were friendly and very engaging. Overall, I would love to return to this resort, but I hope the management addresses some of these issues with their staff. This resort has incredible potential; let's not let a few bad experiences overshadow the rest.

Everything

Overall, we had a great time staying at iberostar. I'd definitely come back to this hotel the next time I visit Jamaica. Pros: 1. Amazing food!!! The food really exceeded our expectations. We tried different cuisines and we loved most of the things that we ate. There were a few items that we weren't a big fan of, but overall, I'd say it was a very positive experience. 2. Super friendly staff - we were just blown away by the staff that worked at the resort. They are so friendly, polite and very helpful and were very playful with my 17 month old daughter. 3. Rooms are clean and spacious. Cons: 1. Guests cannot visit past 6 pm! This rule caught me off guard. I had some local friends that visited me at 9 pm and they were refused entry. I had to step outside the resort and go to a local bar to meet my friends. 2. AC temp not going below 19.5°C. If you want the room to be colder, it's not going to be possible. I also noticed other sections of the resort that didn't have AC throughout the day. 3. After checking in, they would send you to the concierge. The concierge will give you some hotel credits in exchange for a timeshare presentation. You are not obligated to take that. Be polite but firm and tell them that you're not interested. Things to know: 1. They do not have plastic or paper straws(you will need to bring your own) 2. They do not let you pack your food to take it back to the room. Whatever u order at any restaurant will have to be eaten there.
