Let s start with the pros: there s plenty to do for kids during the day. The water slides were a hit with my younger siblings. We all had fun playing air hockey at night and my brother particularly liked the Xbox room. The food was good. I enjoyed the Italian and French places most. Check in process was pretty easy and quick and done on an iPad. The beach has fun activities to do during the day like the banana boat, glass bottom boat, and kayaks. Drink are a plenty and the wait staff are kind and happy to bring you whatever while you are pool or beach side.

The cons: first, this is a 2 hour bus ride from Montego Bay airport. TripAdvisor says there s a airport right around the corner, and while that s true, that s only for smaller planes - not large international flights. Two days in a row I came back to my room without it being cleaned. Housekeeping told me that they clean until 5. I understand that, but I wanted to come back and relax before getting ready for dinner and if they are cleaning until 5, that makes it difficult. Both days, I had been out of my room since 9 am.

Everything is outdated. Furniture inside and outside showed a lot of signs of wear. The air conditioning made a lot of noise coming on and turning off. Our room always had a weird smell in it. At first we thought it was cleaning solution, but it always lingered. Our shower showed signs of the previous guest and the sink in our bathroom was clogged and remained that way.

Honestly, I ve stayed at better resorts with my family in Jamaica.
