My husband and my 5 year-old daughter just returned on Jan. 2nd from RDCC. We stayed in room #14, which was a beach cottage right on the beach near the Jetta Bar area. It was so nice to just open the door and we were right on the beach. My husband wants to go back ASAP! All staff including waiters... more

We just returned from a Stay at Club Ambience. While overall the stay was very nice and the resort employees went above and beyond to be helpful and friendly there were a few issues. First of all the shower in our room was very hit or miss. When the pressure was up the temperature was cold and when the water... more

This resort is rated as a 5 star (but I would really like to know how it got this initial rating). I will try to be brief and rate in sections. Grounds / buildings: Definitely 5 star! Visually stunning and gorgeous grounds! The entrance to the front desk is grand and looks like you are arriving at the The Parthenon!... more

My stay at Hedo III was a BLAST. I enjoyed the staff tremendously. Deborah, Christine, and Michelle were the perfect hostesses and were extra icing on the cake in terms of making sure all of my needs were met. I would absolutely send any friends and family of mine to this fabulous resort becasue I got to live my life... more

I just returned from a great stay at the Royal Decameron. We stayed from December 21 thru December 28 in Beach Cottage #22. The Room: I did my research and it was exactly what I expected - a little larger, actually. The rooms themselves are quite modest, but very adequate. The air conditioner worked great along with the ceiling fan,... more

Not the sort of place I would recommend for a relaxing holiday. During our stay we had a few issues, there were red ants in the cottage which we struggled to get the 'complex' to do anything about. The entertainment staff are in your face all the time, one guy called Frisky would not take 'no' for an answer, he... more

Firstly our travel arrangements through Cosmos using a Thomas Cook Airlines flight TCX16K from Gatwick were less than satisfactory. The flying time given in the brochure was given as 11 hrs but the scheduled duration of our outgoing flight was 13 hours 15 minutes. For the return flight the scheduled duration was 11hrs 15 minutes. The extended travelling time, confused... more

First trip to Jamaica with two other couples.The resort and room was beautiful, just like the pictures. The lobby and grounds lovely and the service good and staff friendly. Tipping is encouraged, even a buck or two, the average jamaican makes $10 a day so they are very appreciative if tipped. The weather was best in the morning as between... more

My title pretty much says it all. You will be satisfied with your stay. It was cloudy the whole time we were there and there is nothing to do except eat and drink. The site is very nice, it is big and there is plenty of room to be alone. The staff was very nice and very helpful, although they... more

This was our 3rd visit to RDCC, and was once again a wonderful holiday. We had booked a beach cottage (No. 19) and had the same one we had last year, which was great. We were a little surprised at how much beach had been lost outside our cottage, as last year we were able to sunbathe directly on the... more

Wife and I stay at an all-inclusive resort every 6 months. I'm a retired hotel manager and my wife is a restaurant manager, so we have a little experience in the hospitality industry. First of all, the property is beautiful. However, bring your hiking shoes. Long hikes to get anywhere and lots of stairs. There are elevators, but small and... more

I just came back from Hedonism III and feel like sharing my experience while the memories are still fresh. We went as a group of friends (three couple in their mid 30’s) expecting to have a lot of sport activities during the day and party at night with party people like us, hence, I will be reviewing through the prism... more

I spent 2 weeks at The Decameron All Inclusive holiday resort in Jamaica from the 8th of December until the 22nd. This was my first visit to Jamaica and have to admit i had some reservations due to the media hype and portrayal of Jamaica and its residents. The Decameron is a pretty place to stay and although the entertainment... more

We stayed at the resort for our Honeymoon. The beach was definitely a let down, mostly ground up coral, definitely man-made. But because we were more interested in each other we didn't care much! Highlites : snackshop Jerk food, shallow warm water, strong drinks. Lowlites: not much in the way of traditional Jamaican food, cheesy entertainment, to far from anywhere... more

I booked Breezes through Skyauction. Got a pretty good deal for a single person (it's extra as they price per person not per room). Had read about it online a lot and chose it for the last two nights of a two week “all around Jamaica” vacation (no other resorts during my trip, see my other reviews as they are... more

This is a great place to kick back and relax, but not for those who wish to walk along the beach. The beach is very small, but always clean. The pool area is nice and the bartenders are great! The pool was a bit too cold for me and rarely had anyone in it, as everyone was complaining about the... more

Wow, where to begin. Returned from H3 last week. Once again a great time. We read about a few changes that had us worried but just had to go “home” anyway. For those who may be concerned it’s all “irie, no problem”. First, yes there is a new manager. His name is Lance Parrish and he’s managed both H2 and... more

Just got back on Christmas eve from our one, not long enough week at Breezes Runaway Bay. From all that I had read I was not sure that the place could live up to my expectations, but hey what can I say in most areas they surpassed them!! We arrived in Montego Bay at 8 pm and found the Superclubs... more
