Three star hotel with three star staff and 3 star facilities. I went down for breakfast. Beautiful setting over-looking the Kingston Harbour. No staff in sight - likely in the back. No hot water, tea bags at the drink station, only coffee. No water or juice put out. Not appealing. I left without having anything.

I booked this hotel for two family members who were looking to stay somewhere for the night. The room was not cleaned properly. There was used toilet paper (very used roll). There is dust in the air conditioner and the room overall was really stuffy.No cable or room phone. We were really hoping the hotel would have been way better. The staff was super helpful and kind, housekeeping was the issue.

Where to begin? For US279, I've had better service for $40. I arrived just before 9pm on a Monday and was informed there was no food available on the property or within walking distance, not even a vending machine. I was told thet, I left about 3/4 of the free breakfast bar was open til 10, but the bartender was cashing out at nine. The lovely pool had a `pool closed' sign on it all the time I was there. The `free shuttle' was a taxi ride (US$50 tip round trip). I'm not sure how one messes up scrambled eggs and sausage, but after waiting almost a half hour when I was the only person in the restaurant, I left about 3/4 of the free breakfast - I tried giving a piece of the sausage to the cat that was begging and it turned its nose up at it. I couldn't take my medications because There wasn't a glass or cup in the room. I couldn't shower because the shower handle came off in my hand... The staff was very polite about explaining that service was basically nonexistent and would remain so. Without competition, the WORST hotel value I have ever received in my 73 years.

If you want to have a good time in Jamaica don’t come here. Most of the staff are unprofessional and not the friendliest. We had to wait over two hours for our food. Items were taken from my friends room The safe box didn’t work so I had no where to keep my valuables There was no do not disturb sign to place on the door, so staff could come in whenever ( and never knock)
