Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters - Montego Bay, An Autograph Collection® All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay - Hyatt Inclusive Collection - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Room were well clean staff were also well engage, quick to ask about your concern face. Quick to give solutions... very helpful with whatever you needed..sorry my time wasn't longer"

The Cardiff Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and breakfast was good. Didn’t use most of the amenities, but I did go to the beach every day I was there. There is supposed to be a shuttle, however it was mostly unavailable. I walked to and from the beach most of my stay which was about 20 mins each way. On one occasion I called for pick up about a hour ahead of time and asked if the driver could pick me up. I was told “I hope so.” The private beach itself is just “okay.” If you’re looking to do any beach activities, this isn’t the hotel for you as they don’t offer any. The bar isn’t really stocked and there’s no bar tender but they do have beer. Overall, I liked the hotel and the unavailability of the beach shuttle was my only complaint."

Villa Sonate

10/10 Excellent

"⭐ A Truly Special Stay at Villa Sonate — Runaway Bay, St. Ann, Jamaica 🇯🇲 I stayed at Villa Sonate from September 7–11, and once again, this beautiful place reminded me why it has always been my go-to home away from home. From the moment I arrive, I feel welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. The staff is excellent, the food is excellent, and everything about Villa Sonate is simply wonderful. I am always happy to be there, and honestly, I miss it when I’m not there. One of the things I appreciate most is the authentic Jamaican food and local cuisine. Being Jamaican-born and raised, and now an American citizen, coming back to Jamaica is always special. Villa Sonate gives me that feeling of being home. It is the kind of place that hugs you when you walk through the door. ❤️🇯🇲 A very special thank-you to the housekeepers, kitchen staff, bar staff, security, and everyone who works at Villa Sonate. Each and every one of you plays a part in making this place feel so welcoming, peaceful, and special. I give Villa Sonate 5 stars, but if there were 100 stars or even 1,000 stars, I would gladly give them all! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you, Villa Sonate, for continuing to be my home away from home. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. ❤️🇯🇲"

Tiamo Beach Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"TOP TIER Birthday Experience! From the time I booked through Expedia until the moment I departed, my experience at Tiamo Beach Resort was TOP TIER! I spent two nights celebrating my birthday, and I truly felt special in every way. Check in was seamless, I was greeted with a delicious mocktail, and the staff went above and beyond to decorate my room with beautiful Happy Birthday touches. My room was spotless and comfortable, with hot water and a luxurious tub on the balcony overlooking the water. Waking up to that view every morning was everything. The entire resort was extremely clean, the beach was peaceful and relaxing, and the food was absolutely delicious. Breakfast was included with both traditional and Jamaican style options available, and every meal was so flavorful. A very special shoutout to Malik at the front desk, Chef Birch, and Romi, the General Manager. What an incredible team! Your hospitality, kindness, and attention to detail made my birthday celebration unforgettable. Chef Birch prepared amazing meals, Malik made check in effortless, and Romi ensured every part of my stay was exceptional. They even arranged my transportation to Kingston Airport, making my departure completely stress free. Tiamo gave me the perfect reset, relaxation, and self care experience I truly needed. If you're celebrating a birthday, milestone, or any special occasion, Tiamo Beach Resort is the place to be. I can't wait to come back. Thank you Team Tiamo!"

Luxury 5BR Jamaica Villa - Infinity Pool + Private Chef + Beach Access

8/10 Good

"**Beautiful Villa **We had a very enjoyable 4-day stay at this beautiful and inviting villa in Runaway Bay. The home was comfortable, spacious, and welcoming, and the pool was clean and perfect for relaxing.One of the biggest highlights of our stay was the food. **Chef Frazier was absolutely amazing!** You could truly taste the heart and soul he put into every dish. The food was exquisite, flavorful, and definitely one of the best parts of our experience.The villa is also conveniently located near some local beaches. However, the roads leading up to the property are extremely rough and challenging. I would highly recommend having a local driver who is familiar with the area, as navigating the roads can be difficult if you don't know the route.There were a few things that could be improved. The shower water was lukewarm at best during our stay, and the Wi-Fi was a little inconsistent. Our host was very responsive and did her best to accommodate us and make our stay comfortable.Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed our time at the villa. With some improvements to the hot water, Wi-Fi, and road access, this could easily become an exceptional stay. We especially appreciated the beautiful home, the pool, the location, and the outstanding hospitality and food from Chef Frazier."
