Iberostar, North Coast hotels

"This resort was great. It’s 20 min from airport and is close to everything. If you want to party locally, there are resort drivers that will take you and pick you up. It’s not cheap. Taxi fares can be north of 50 us per way. The resort was great! "

"Pros: Close proximity to the airport Beach access Great food Nice amenities-esp pools Drinks were good-shakes too Room was vey spacious Beds were really comfortable Felt safe in the resort Hotel decor -good taste Never felt crowded Cons: The room was always so damp and the first couple days were pretty unpleasant with the mildew/mold smell. When we brought that up to their attention , Trishna very quickly tried to resolve the issue which made it so much better! (Replacing the AC’s filter) Some staff members were borderline rude. Especially the restaurant servers and some bartenders at the pool bar. We felt uncomfortable at times because they seemed so unhappy working there. I don’t remember seeing anyone even smiling once, except for a few that I can name-Rashay(spell?), Andre, Tony, the bartender at the lobby bar, the older gentleman working at the reception area, and my room attendant. This place is indeed a paradise for the visitors but probably not so for those who live & work there. "

"I would say it was amazing. The service was great. It's a little slower than what we're used to in the United States, but all the same pretty good. Check-in Ms. Kassandra and Ms. Claudia truly amazing. They need a raise. The food was great compared to anywhere else at any other resort that we've eaten at in jamaica. There are no elevators but there are a bunch of rooms on the ground floor and 2nd floor. Hotel was very boutique-y and vintage, but in a good way. I will definitely come back. Planning on bringing the kids next spring break. The beach and the accessibility to shops and attractions were great. Everything within walking distance. Most of the locals are helpful, but you still have to be mindful of scams with taxis and watch out for female drivers. They seem to be the ones. That I use to run the most scams. The older ladies help us around the city, it gives a real community sense of community. We bought local with the local vendors first before going to any commercial businesses. And they were great felt safe for the most part, but I am a New Yorker, so it is about the same environment/ culture. Vendors were pushy, but polite, so a simple no, thank you and continuing to walk on by works well. Tips are not necessary, but are appreciated.One u s dollar goes a long way."
