The hotel has a great location being on the strip and close to pretty much everything. The rooms, however, seemed like they were once a suite but now are very poor, resembling a warehouse. The service was excellent, with extremely nice staff, and the breakfast was delicious. The facilities needed maintenance, with broken lounge chairs and a dirty pool. Dining options were rather poor and sparse despite having Indonesian dishes available.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with great views of Montego Bay beach from my room. The white sheets were a nice touch, although the room wasn't quite ready when I checked in. The service was a mix of very courteous and friendly staff alongside some who could benefit from additional training. The location was safe and enjoyable, right in the center and across the road from Doctor's Cave Beach. The dining experience, while good on Sunday, was limited in options and required a 20-minute wait for a table. The hotel offers a convenient location close to restaurants, the beach, and the hip strip.

The hotel has a really great location in Montego Bay, close to the town and just a few minutes walk from popular tourist attractions. The rooms are a mix of outdated and mismatched furniture, some looking better than others, but they lack an iron and reliable Wi-Fi connection. The service was a mix of very nice and friendly staff with some instances of inattentiveness and poor treatment by management. The dining experience offers a poor quality buffet with restrictions on servings, despite the nice view over the port. Overall, the facilities are decent and the value for money is okay considering the convenient location.

The hotel had a prime location right across from the ocean and close to the Hip Strip. Despite this, the rooms were even worse than advertised, with unclear directions given by the staff and missing basic amenities like a fridge or table. The service was a mix of accommodating gestures and unprofessional behavior, needing significant improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the ocean, offering a friendly and helpful service experience. The rooms are fantastic but require a bit of effort to access. The dining incorporates delicious Jamaican cuisine, and the facilities are well-suited for a comfortable stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was superb, being close to the beach and Margaritaville, I found the rooms to be disappointing due to the old furniture and extremely uncomfortable bed. The service was a bit hit and miss, with unfriendly staff overall, except for one kind lady at breakfast. The dining options were limited, forcing me to seek alternatives outside. However, the facilities like the gym and pool were good, offering some solace during my stay.

The hotel is in a great location, convenient for accessing the beach, shopping areas, and various dining options. The rooms may require updating as they seemed old and dilapidated, leading to noise disturbances at night. The service was a mix of unprofessionalism and courtesy.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean, fresh, and provided the promised free WiFi access, but I was bothered by the proximity of the router in the lobby after six p.m. The service was a bit of a hit and miss - most of the staff were unfriendly, except for one old lady who served breakfast. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions and had free guest parking, but the AC surprise at 7.30pm was a letdown. The dining experience was excellent, especially the breakfast featuring authentic Caribbean food items. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs, making it a moderate choice.
