There was no hot water to shower and no hand soap for bathroom use. Toilet paper holder poorly adapted and fell out of the ends, so that the toilet paper fell into the garbage can. Loud live entertainment heard all the way in the room while prepping for a night of sleep. Quite a few mosquitos...in and out of the room.
Complimentary breakfast was not good at all. TV channels were snowy... had to watch ad interrupted bits on youtube.
Would definitely not return.
Hotel has potential but needs a lot of TLC

The place was average and needed some renovations. The room had rotted areas and no microwave, phone, iron and a remote tv. For a place in Jamaica they did not have local breakfast.

Really nice renovations going on. Close to the airport. Really good for in the hotel restaurant Red Stripe. Plenty of outdoor seating by the water. Great place to catch a sunset! The new owner is extremely nice and has some great ideas for the future of this hotel. Can't wait to go back and see the progress.

It’s quiet and over crowded, the hot water is not very hot but it’s good enough. You get the best sunset views on the top deck.

It was a simple cozy comfortable stay. Its much better than what I expected as the reviews were making me a bit detterent but it was suitable for my stay. The rooms aren't of modern furnishings but based on the fact that its a historical community that is expected. The free breakfast was a full wholesome meal and it tasted very good. I enjoyed my short visit to Port Royal I will definitely return. Also Gloria's is a very nice affordable and taste restaurant, walking distance up the road from the hotel that you must try

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here. Unfortunately we went back after the first time, because we were visiting my husband's family in Port Royal and this is the only hotel there.
The grounds are beautiful but our room was not very clean. We struggled to find a outlet that worked to charge our phones. The plumbing was coming out of the walls and there was a terrible banging on the walls from work being done in the room next door! The hotel is very pricey for what you get! The food at the overpriced restaurant onsite was also not very good!
