Enjoyed my stay here. Place was clean. Staff was very friendly professional and helpful. We got a Jamaican breakfast which was a plus. I'd definitely stay here again.
This is a good property for people who’ve already been to Jamaica and know how to navigate the island. The staff were great and the rooms were clean. This is a basic place to stay. If you need excursions assistance or a lot of amenities, this is not the place for you.
The breakfast was phenomenal. The staff was so wonderful, helpful and kind. The accommodations were very clean. Huge hot tub, beautiful pool. Overall beautiful experience of jamaica
This place is a good place to stay . The staff are helpful and friendly.

Great people. Clean room. Fridge and microwave a welcome addition. Tv didnot work
Located a little way outside Ocho Rios, but a route taxi is pretty cheap to get to places (just make it clear you don't want a private charter or the prices skyrocket).
The breakfast is very filling, the pool was fun and had pool toys, although the hot tub didn't always heat, there is a restaurant, fruit stand, paid laundry service, water refill shop, and two corner grocery stores just beside the property. Some are closed on Saturday and everything on Sunday though.
First time in Jamaica I came to have a great time for my birthday I really like the view, the room was clean ,staff’s were friendly,food was so tasty I can’t wait to go back again
The staff was great everyone was really really friendly and kind. Food was excellent. The entire stay was perfect. Thank you Sea Shell Palms. Keep up the great work
Without going into too much details, I would not recommend anyone stay at this place! The only reason this place gets two stars and not zero is, it's location, breakfast was decent most morning and the security guards (who were more present than anyone else) were very good. Mr green, Mr Jackson and Mr Brooks should be commended. Miss Meeks in the office is very apologetic but not at all helpful. Another tidbit that my interest potential future guess. 5-day stay no housekeeping in those 5 days, even though it was request and I was promised it would "definitely" happen.
