Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay - Hyatt Inclusive Collection - Adults Only - All Inclusive
"Great improvement."
Moon Palace Jamaica โ All Inclusive
"One word lovely will be going back"
Couples Sans Souci All Inclusive
"Everything was excellent, property, staff, food and entertainment!"
The Cardiff Hotel & Spa
"Staff were friendly and breakfast very good"
Silver Seas Hotel
"A budget hotel that has nice views of the ocean. If you looking for somewhere that has a view then this is perfect. The property could be updated. I believe if they just change the tiling and apply some paint with minor art work and murals that place would be perfect. For now tho if you are on a budget then this is the place."
Sand And Tan Beach Hotel
"I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. If youโre planning a short trip and want somewhere comfortable to stay, I highly recommend the Sand and Tan beach Hotel. The beach is absolutely beautiful and the parties on the weekend are so much fun. If youโre a young couple or anyone looking to immerse yourself in Jamaican culture with great food and great service, then this is the perfect place for you. It is perfectly situated in Ocho Rios where you can access the great excursions nearby and the staff are all friendly and willing to assist you with anything you need. I will definitely be looking to return in the future."
