Also a little historical fact, it was the first town to receive electricity. The property is near to famous attractions such as Black River Safari, YS falls, Jamaica Zoo, and Holland Bamboo.

The staff is excellent and the food is delicious! We spent most of the time relaxing on the gorgeous beach. It was so nice, we didn’t want to leave! Maxine, Dunkley, and Ruchelle were exceptional! I suggest bringing an extension cord, as there are not many outlets. A collapsible cooler would also be handy as there is not a refrigerator in the room. We will definitely be back! ##### Oral Robert Stayed 10 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Owen 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Staff & service Idlers Rest is essentially what you see in any other review, it's good for what it is and the location is not terrible. Where they excel they excel wonderfully but they're shortcomings are also as dramatic. I particularly did not enjoy hearing the dogs bark and the roosters crow throughout the night. However overall it was a comfortable enough stay where is it. ##### Owen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gillian 24 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I basically just sleep there i didnt hang around for long.

Plenty of parking. We could use their fridge for our drinks. We did change rooms as our original room was a bit dark with lack of natural light. The 2nd room was brighter, even better once my husband cleaned the windows. We were very upset to see large terrapins crowed in a small pond without room to hardly move. Chickens kept in a small enclosure, birds in cages and two beautiful dogs chained up day and night both desperate for some human interaction, stimulation and love. If you are an animal lover you may find this distressing. ##### Susan Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hughton 12 Jul 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place was not clean overall. Understaffed. Toilet issues, television does not work, Wi-Fi is pointless, mosquitoes everwhere. Place just not properly maintained. No staff to attend to you at night. ##### Hughton Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Debra 31 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I love that the hotel is right on the Beach. Every day I would walk almost the full length of the beach. Very relaxing. The breakfast area overlooks the beach. Amazing view. There are a few seafood resturants along the beach. You could actually walk to them or take a taxi. We went by taxi to eat but I passed them every morning while walking. Juliet the manager is very accommodating and receptive to suggestions. We ended up in a large room/ suite with a sitting area and a large bathroom at no extra cost. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Sister and Daughter (their call names) are the housekeepers/ cooks and very helpful. Sister cooked some sumptuous Jamaican breakfast upon request for an additional cost. The hotel itself is very pretty and Caribbean colorful. Lots of pretty colorful foliage around the hotel. Hotel could use some updating such as better lighting in the rooms, accessible electrical outlets for electronics, good WiFi and some countertop in the bathroom area for toiletries. Better drainage when it rains. One night we had to wade through water to get to our room. There is no public transportation. Hotel staff arranges taxi service which is reasonable. Overall I would return. ##### Debra Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ayesha 28 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Convenient and perfect location for what we wanted ##### Ayesha Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hyacinth 23 May 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It could have been better no water the breakfast was terrible. no garbage can in the bed room. ##### Hyacinth Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### David 3 May 2022 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Property is old and needs repairs.services was Terrible. Would not use that Hotel again ##### David Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 7 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great place to idle ! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The property sits on a beach with a great view out to the water and sunsets. Morning breakfasts (included) served on the lovely patio deck were delicious and the service attentive. Spacious rooms with nice outdoor areas, benches and hammocks! The property needs some repair & maintenance after a couple of quiet years with few guests due to the pandemic, and the area seems under populated overall. But two lovely busy restaurants are a short drive away along the water, the Black River safari was an amazing day trip, as was an afternoon outing by boat to Floyd's Bar in the ocean ... and the nearby town of Black River bustles during the day with vendors, banks and food stops. The value and overall experience was perfect for our group of four. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Excellence Oyster Bay - Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Excellence-Oyster-Bay-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h19647353.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Reggae -
