Montego Bay

This is our 2nd time at this resort and we will return for a 3rd trip. We had no complaints from 2018, but they have outdone themselves during our 2020 trip. Food was even better this time. Absolutely loved all the jerk options. Had lunch everyday at the beach buffet and it was always delicious. Love all their fish options. Ate at the steakhouse 2 different nights and steaks were perfectly cooked. Delicious. Anyone should be able to find something delicious to eat here because they cook dishes from just about every culture and are delicious. The perfect opportunity to try foods from other cultures. Room was always well maintained. Check-in staff were courteous and check-in went smoothly and Tash, our concierge was so welcoming and helpful throughout our week. Nice to see one of our favorite lobby bartenders, Patrice was still here and absolutely delightful to interact with. Our favorite beach waitress, Monique was here again this year and she did not disappoint. All the bartenders and waitresses were so friendly and you could always hear some of the waitresses singing while they worked. The entertainment staff at this resort are phenomenal and even can get the quiet and shy folks participating, which they did with my quiet hubby. These are committed and hard working people and deserve the utmost respect for the wages they make. Tipping is our number 1 priority when we vacation at these resorts and although I have witnessed many who do not, they are still treated well and with respect by the staff. We actually visited the resort next door as an option to upgrade but prefer Rose Hall Beach. Actually saw and chatted with folks from the 2 adjoining resorts and they preferred this one for various reasons. Can't say I blame them. Can't wait to return next year.

We travelled to Montego Bay in July with our 2yr old son. It was our first family vacation, so we were a little worried going to a resort that wasn't centred around kids. However everyone at the resort made sure that we had everything we needed from start to finish. It is a little bit of a older resort, however it is well maintained. Rooms are clean and well stocked with drinks and towels. The pool was always clean. And the beach is well maintained. Because of our son, we ate mostly at the buffet. Buffet had a great assortment of food. Every night there was live entertainment that was enjoyable by all ages. Travis was one of the main entertainers at the resort, and he always went out of his way to ensure we were taken care of and were enjoying ourselves. He also he helped to ensure our son was entertained as well, and even brought him on stage during one of the performances! Janice and Dwayne at the front desk were also very accommodating and helped to ensure that we had everything we needed as new parents taking care of a young one. They ensured a crib was available, and that we a room available suitable for our son's nap time etc. Great customer service. Would highly recommend.

The best resort I've been to! Entertainment was great. Food and drinks excellent. I cannot find anything to complain about. Plan to return next year!

We travelled with my 5 year old twin girls to stay at the Holiday Inn Montego Bay. It was a beautiful resort that was clean with staff that cared. We stayed in building 1A, located off the main lobby. It was quiet on our side facing the tennis courts. The sun always rose on our side of the hotel and morning coffee on the balcony was always how we started our day. The room was clean and well kept. House keeping came every 2nd day and often was not completed until late in the afternoon. The staff and especially the lifeguards around the pool were amazing. They kept a watchful eye without being intrusive. The resort felt extremely safe for the kids. More than once when our group was separated we were asked where the other child was, it was nice they noticed and were aware of who belonged together and if someone might be missing. The entire staff went out of their way to accommodate the kids and that made it so special to them. They also have a kids club where kids can go and play in a supervised area and parents can take their own break. The area of sea between the small island and the main beach is incredible. Warm, clean, clear and relatively shallow made it easy to get back and forth comfortably as well it being relaxing, picture lazy lounge time just floating in the water. The food was good, buffet breakfast was good, we loved the a la carte restaurant (Italian and jerk) and the quick eats at the day time bars were great too. Loved it and would definitely go back for a family vacation.

This is a very nice hotel but very spread out. We were fortunate that most of the a la carte restaurants were in the same area as our room but it was along way to the front lobby. The grounds were very nice and clean. All the furnishings in side and out were very comfortable

Loved it. A beautiful hotel, excellent staff, very inviting and pleasant. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help. A great experience.

It was our second trip to Secrets Wild Orchid. We had an amazing time. Erika made our piano visits more enjoyable. Sheri at the grill made my favourite chips and Lady love with the entertainment team was unforgettable. She's an amazing person loves her job and very unique. Staff at the beach were incredible. Food was good. We enjoyed our second visit and was sad to leave. It's a must visit. Piano Bar very entertaining.

Our 7 day stay at blue waters was wonderful. Our butlers nicola and clayon were very helpful and went over and above to make our visit even more special.

We loved our stay at the Royalton White Sands. The staff were fun and engaging. The restaurants were awesome with lots of different options every night. Entertainment was fun too. We would definitely return!!

We went to Zilara for our Honeymoon/Winter vacation. We loved our stay, and would certainly go back and recommend it to anyone! Here are some things we thought was worth mentioning: You get access to Hyatt Ziva - 5 minute walk to the family-friendly resort, Ziva, that is attached but operates semi-separately. You can eat at any Ziva food (Coffeeshop, French, Brazilian, Italian, buffet etc.), you can also participate in any of the Ziva activity program, use their beach/pool etc. We stuck to the Zilara activities, but ate many meals at Ziva. Fantastic Restaurants - we loved that we did not have to make reservations, were not limited to how many times/which one we went to. The breakfasts lasted until 11am. We especially loved the French Toast from Urban Heatz and the Brazilian steakhouse. That being said, the buffet restaurant was still fantastic as we tried it once for breakfast, lunch and dinner each. The rest of the time, we went to the restaurants. Genuine service - everyone was very accommodating, no pushy sales pitches and shout-out to Kevin from the Brazilian steakhouse who was able to get us the chocolate lava cake from Petit Pariz, the French restaurant. Great snack options - Jerk Chicken and Pork were very tasty. Also pastries, muffins and smoothies were options during the daytime. The Ziva side has pizza, burger/hot-dog/Jamaican patty cart, a child's dream candy shop, which had wall-to-wall candy, cookies, ice-cream (the cookies and cream flavour had real cookies crumbled into it). We were never more than 50m away from food. Room - spacious, elegant, clean, quality linens, had most things you needed. Only issue was we found the pillows fell flat. There are no bad views in the place. Beaches - We checked out both the Ziva and Zilara beaches. The Zilara water was a bit pebbly. Both beaches have wavebreakers, making the waves quite manageable, even for those who don't swim much/at all. Entertainment - wonderful bubble party, Z crew threw entertaining events, evening live musicians were absolutely incredible - I would have happily paid to see them in a concert! The best all-inclusive resort I've been to!
