The hotel is clean. The staff were friendly & professional. There isn’t always hot water. And they host a lot of events in the evening and on the weekends. So loud music is played. If you are looking for 100% Peace & quiet, it perhaps not the place for you.

The staff was great! Breakfast was included with our stay and you can ordered just about anything you want. No long wait for the food and everything was delicious. The hotel is close by local restaurants and the drive to Boston Beach is quick. We stayed two nights and no complaints.

Kitchen staff and servers were very nice and courteous.
Room wasnt ready for 3pm.
Water Pressure was a bit low at times and not so consistent.
Its a nice overnight stay, 2 at most if I'm being honest. Somewhere to rest off, bathe and hit the road

The room was clean and the staff very nice and friendly. The hotel is basic and charmless. The AC dripped and there was no safe. We didn't bring beach towels. They charged us a rental fee of $10/day plus a refundable per towel deposit of $15. The towels were just the regular bath towels. This seemed like an overreach for what is usually a standard amenity; almost a scam on foreigners.

The staff was amazing. Kenneth started off my check in and from there everything started to go smoothly, Miss Brown and Kedesha was very nice, Mr Williams the food was great, especially on Sunday, and last but not least Milton!!! Thank you so much for making my weekend way better than it started. The location is right, the park, the sea, the town everything is close, just minutes away. The hotel is very clean as well.

There was a lizard when I first entered the room but I was like that’s ok because it’s Jamaica but what I wasn’t expecting was a roach in the shower with me. The caps on the water valve to indicate hot from cold was missing. The staff was truly friendly and I have used this property a few times before so to say if you stay there it’s just for a nights rest nothing to stay on property an enjoy.

The property is in a close proximity to downtown, the property itself is old and needs some TLC. The water pressure is low and the WIFI does not work in the rooms. It’s 2024, people work remotely, access to WIFI should be an important access. I came to a function but had to do a bit of work. I had to walk around to find a spot to get access to log into work. Totally inconvenient. I remember looking for signal back in the 90’s when I visited Jamaica. It’s 2024, what does it take to have a better internet service.
The breakfast was good, especially the weekend and Easter holiday buffet special. The breakfast crew were all great, especially Ruel, professional, courteous and attentive. He should be the supervisor of the dining area. He is so humble.
The property needs a better system for entry after the front desk closes. We thought we were locked out as we had to knock for someone to let us in. How about a keyless entry, it’s 2024, access is everything, you have to spend money to make money. Thank you.

My room was a very basic room. A bed and a desk with a chair. I was expecting more...at least a microwave or a tea kettle. There was a TV that offered internet channels, but the internet went down quite a bit and even when it was working, there were more channels than not that kept shutting down. There also no swimming pool which was a big dissapointment.
All that being said, the room and hotel were extremely clean and the room did have air conditioning.
The best part of my stay was my interaction with the staff. Every single peron who worked there was kind, courteous and always willing to help. Derrick, Ruel, Toniel, the cleaning staff....just to name a few, were wonderful. The food was also very good.
Overall, I would definitely stay there again. I now know what to expecr from the room and Im hoping the swimming pool will be ready soon. The fact that the staff treated me so kindly is the reason i would stay there again. They made me feel at home and that is truly something extraordinary that you cant get everywhere.
Thank you to the Tim Bambio family for your kindness and generousity. You are a big part of Jamaica that I miss.
