SeaGarden Beach Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"I rate this property. 9 out of 10. The staff was awesome. I never had a complaint. The property is well maintained. The amenities nearby are either in walking distance and taxis are readily available."

Hotel Riu Palace Aquarelle - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time at this resort. We had a 2 bedroom ocean view suite for our family. The resort is new and well kept. The staff was so attentive, engaging, and helpful. The entertainment was top notch, especially the Jamaican Evolution show. We were only able to get reservations at one of the specialty restaurants, Kyoto, the Asian restaurant. That restaurant was just ok. We preferred the buffet with all of the local foods. There were even oxtails on the buffet one night! I would definitely recommend this resort to others."

"Everything was good. Location, room, food, staff etc. This is my new spot to stay when I come to JA. You get the same that you would get at a more expensive resort for wayyy less here. Loved it! I would have given all 5 stars but one of the kitchen staff ruined it, she didn’t smile had an attitude the whole time, her face already set up to look upset so she should smile. They accommodated me with my baby except her, she reminds me of a sergeant, Marie and the others were awesome, extremely helpful. "
