"Overall, I had a good experience, but there are important things people should know before booking.
The front desk staff were extremely helpful, and the beach water was very clear and beautiful. The food was also great, although eating similar foods every day became repetitive.
One disappointment was the weather. There were afternoon showers almost every day, which affected the vibe and sunset views. One reason I booked Jamaica was for the sunsets, so that was unfortunate.
Another thing to be aware of is the beach vendors. Do not feel pressured to buy things because they will continue approaching you if you entertain them. The bracelet vendors especially will try to sell souvenir bracelets for around $10–15. I understand the resort cannot control this since they are independent vendors, but guests should still be aware.
I also noticed tipping culture is very strong here, and service definitely felt better when tips were involved. Staff also constantly promoted spa specials or meetings offering “free massages,” which became draining after a while.
The resort seemed to cater more toward couples, older guests, families, and drinking culture rather than younger people looking for nightlife. Canoeing was fun, but entertainment overall could improve.
There was also a smell in the bathroom during the stay. The deposit was $200 by card or $100 cash. Overall, I’m glad I experienced it for myself because reviews vary depending on the person."
