My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms provided a great view of the construction site, complete with all the noise that accompanies it, but the towel animals added a nice touch. While the room was sufficient, it lacked the luxurious feel of a butler-level experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was well-appointed with a jacuzzi tub and multiple TVs, but the cleanliness was below par. The service was energetic and friendly, including great options for dining. The location, though facing bungalows away from work areas, had some issues with cleanliness. The amenities and facilities were good overall.

The service was a bit inconsistent - from shutting off the thermostat to excellent restaurant staff. Romario's service at the buffet restaurant in Montego Bay was exceptional.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right by a small beach area and with easy access to top shelf liquors. The rooms are spacious and modern with a large balcony offering a stunning view of the ocean. Though, the construction nearby can be a bit distracting. The dining experience was fantastic with a variety of delicious options, but the noise from drilling and hammering was bothersome at times. The facilities are top-notch and the staff is incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming and family-like atmosphere. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel had beautifully decorated rooms with lovely background music, but they were not as big or nice as they appeared in the pictures. The standard service of baths and room turn-down in the evening was consistent, and the housekeeping was excellent at keeping everything clean. The service was phenomenal and very friendly, despite a minor issue with the guarantee of belongings. The location offered gorgeous views but needed a significant overhaul. The dining options were limited but came with beautiful views. Overall, the facilities were well-appointed and clean.

The location is perfect with gorgeous views, although it needs a huge overhaul. It surrounds the Almond Terrace and is close to the Disco Themed evening and other attractions like Sandals, the Private Island textile section, Dunns River Falls, and the beach.

The dining was disappointing with limited choices, but you can visit Lenroy for a great omelette at spices or Latoya at Le Jardiniers for an outstanding a la carte breakfast. The restaurants visited were The Regency Buffet and Le Jardinier.
