Extremely clean and kid friendly
Pros:
Kid friendly, clean, private beach
Cons:
Food and drinks. Alcoholic Drinks were watered down. Food wasn't great.
Location:
The beach was amazing. and great location
The hotel exceeded my expectations! My husband and I took our 3 & 4 year old daughters. Check in was fast, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating! The resort isn't too big nor too small, and perfect for families. The ocean view room was perfect, roomy and clean! The beach was beautiful, clean! The water park was amazing as well! All around an amazing stay! Would definitely recommend this resort! The food was alright but the buffet had lots of options.

Thank you Jessica for sharing your experience and also for staying with us. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. I can assure you though that the drinks are not watered down. It has been a really hot summer and the ice in the drinks tend to melt very quickly.
Room accommodations
Pros:
Service staff was nice.
Cons:
Rooms needed updating, better WiFi connection and food that you could recognize.
Location:
The location is one hour from the airport and we were advised that it was not safe.
My family and I recently stayed at this resort from a Thursday to Sunday. The room I paid for was suppose to be ocean front view with 2 double beds. I arrived at the resort approximately 12:00pm. We were given access to the property and was suppose to be allowed to check in at 3:00pm. My room was not ready until 4 and when I arrived in my room, I was provided one king bed and a twin bed that was virtually a fold up cot. The room also had a horrible smell and we could only air it out with the doors open (air conditioner was automatically cut off when doors were open). The smell was so strong and horrible it made my daughter sick and she had to sleep in a family members' room until to smell improved 1 1/2 days later.When I asked for another room, they told me that they had no other rooms available and they could maybe give me another room on the next day (never happen). The WiFi connection was horrible and you could only pick it up in the smoking areas outside. The TV programming looked like poorly streamed recordings and the food was horrible; not to mention the bees living in the soda machines outside. Needless to say, I will not be choosing this resort on my next visit to Jamaica.

That you Jennifer for your feedback and for staying with us. I do apologise for the error in your reservations. The hotel was built in the 1950s and the rooms do carry the authenticate tropical Jamaican furnitures. We however do our daily upkeep of the hotel. Wifi has an issue we have been continuously working on. It is definetly a hit or miss depending on the traffic usage but is more of a hit. The lobby wifi is often times then strongest. TV programs are streamed from the US and other countries. The bees do not live inside the soda machines since no hives were found there but they are attracted to the sugar. We would put a trap but that would mean less honey for the coffee station and the smoothies in the mornings. We hope you will change your mind and return to us so that we may make it up back to you.
Booked an ocean view jr suite with double beds. We checked in after waiting for our room to be ready still waiting for our adjoining room to be ready. Open the door to a terrible smell of mold, only 1 king size bed for 4 of us. The view was 1/4 of the pool. Complained to staff they brought in 2 twin beds for our kids and told us we could pay an additional $80 a night for ocean view. We spent entire trip stepping over beds and not enjoying view. Our room issue was the worst part of our trip but spent most of trip out of room.

Thank you for staying with us Brandie. I apologies for the issues you had and will forward to the management team.
Respect Mon
Simply AMAZING!!! Completely satisfied experience from check-in to check out. The staff was authentic, courteous, friendly, attentive to our needs and helpful. The food and atmosphere was excellent. There was a variety of everything. The themed evening events are spectacular. There’s activities for all from the aquatrike, the water park, the 3 pools to those who just want to beach it out. We’d definitely will be back.

Thank you for staying with us and also for your feedback 832Boiz. We look forward to seeing you again.
A two star hotel!
Do not be fooled by the description. This was a hotel that had a beautiful beach and that's it. Service terrible, drinks cheap if you didn't have to wait 5 minutes for a small plastic cup. Food very average. Dinner was good and staff was great at the dinner places. Not sure why night staff was happier than day staff. Under staffing at the swim up bars. Towels always empty. Front desk
Absolutely zero help. I have never had this experience in Jamaica. Most of the time they are happy you are there. Not this resort. I am so disappointed with my stay. So thankful for the beach, great weather, and being with family. The Blue Hole was awesome, don't go through hotel on booking it. Also, if you are booking for water park they rent it out to local schools, so 3 out of the 6 days they had 150 kids in there so it was not very accessible for resort kids. To many kids for size of water park, and no security who is coming in and out. Beware of staying here. Dirty plates, towels, never anyone cleaning up throughout the day. Trash still on beach the night before and workers walking right by not picking it up. I'm a General Manager and even talked to the Manager and he wasn't concerned.

Dear guest, thank you for staying with us. I am so sorry that you did not get the free upgrade that you were looking for. There were not 150 kids every day. that the days that some local groups came in the occupancy was low that could accommodate them. I am sorry that you had a challenge with the local groups. I am sure that in the city you are from that you are allowed to go to a local hotel to dine or stay. We have persons to collect towels and servers to clear tables. Thank you for taking pictures of those areas before they were cleared. Once again I always tell my guests that if they want a particular view that it is best to book that view or room and not expect a free upgrade.
Best Trip to Caribbean ever.
Pros:
Everything was within comfortable walking distance.
Cons:
Reservations were a little messed up.
Location:
So much to do onsite we only did one excursion(Dunn's Falls).
Beach were clean with plenty of lawn chairs and pretty good snorkeling. Had four grandkids(8-16), 5 adults(22-42), 2 grandparents(64) and one Great grandparent(90) and it's hard to tell who had a better time. There was always something going on if you wanted to participate. Dining choices were many, varied , and tasty! Everything i've read on the quality and friendliness of the staff was true and perhaps even understated. Waterpark was clean and run professionally. Originally, i was little concerned about the Zika problem, but after being there 7 days no one got so much as a mosquito bite despite being outdoors 7 AM -Midnights daily.

Dear Jim, thank you for staying with us at Jewel Runaway Bay. I am glad to here that you enjoyed your stay.
I'll stick to other countries
Cons:
Lots.
Food..you need Chefs and not cooks.
Pull outs are not beds, you try sleeping on one of them..if you can walk in the morning.
I
Location:
Golf.
Day trips same as any other vacation spot.
Notice the barbed wire and locked establishments. Security guard posted at the beach.
Arrived after 80 min drive, disorganized, needs updating.
Given a King size and a rock hard pullout for a Waterview that consisted of the pool. Moved to a Waterview of the WaterPark, next day for 3 adults. Food menu never changed in the other 5 restaurants. Same menu everyday. The buffet area always had flies buzzing around. If you love kids and want to take them, then it's great for families.(lots of activiites) be prepared to stand in line as there are no reservations.
They love the cruise ship visitors,Wed and Sat they take over everything from towels, chairs, bars and food areas..you are treated as a second class citizen during that time. Most of the staff were friendly, a couple of hostess had attitudes. I have worked in a people environment for 28 plus years. The tourists very unfriendly.
Last impression, sitting on a wet seat in the lobby waiting for the shuttle to pick us up and having them take 20 mins to find an iron to dry out my pants
I will personally stick to Mexico where you are treated well. Occidental resort Player de Car and GR Solaris, Cancun. They should visit to see what quality they offer.

Dear guest, thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you never brought any of this to our attention.
A Jewel in Paradise. Wonderful Honeymoon.
Pros:
Staff
Food (especially Jamaica night)
Beach
Snorkeling
Five Star Service
Pools
Cons:
Modernize the rooms a bit. Starting to look a bit dated.
More variety in the music.
Add a second hot tub.
My spouse and I just got back from Jewel Runaway Bay. We had a wonderful stay. The resort was amazing. The food was excellent and included a good mix of familiar favorites as well as a great taste of Jamaica.
The resort was so close to the ocean you could hear the waves splashing while eating your meal. The water shimmered with aquamarine brilliance; it was so clear. A large coral reef rested just off the shore that you could swim to. Snorkeling the reef we saw dozens of varieties of fish (I even saw an octopus).
The star attraction of Jewel Runaway Bay was the staff. The entire staff was so helpful and served us with huge smiles. Every meal we were waited on hand and foot. The resort was also very clean. The staff was always cleaning to keep the rooms, the bathrooms, pools, and even the sidewalks and walls spotless.
My spouse and I had a massage from the spa. The massage was a slice of heaven. Highly recommended.
My only complaints was the music. I enjoyed the Reggie music (especially the saxophonist) but the selection was limited. The prerecorded music played the same songs which quickly got old. Would have a loved a bit more variety in the music instead of hearing the same songs every day.
The transportation to the resort and local attractions was great. Our only issue was the bus trip back to the airport. This was a smaller cramped bus. The air conditioning didn't work correctly and several people on the bus got motion sick. Would have liked the larger bus.

Dear guest, thank you for staying with us at JRB. We are actually in the process of repairing the second hot tub.
"Could Not Have Chosen A Nicer Place In Jamaica"
Pros:
The amenities, with such a wide variety of things to do and restaurants to eat at the hardest part of our trip was deciding were to eat and what to do
Cons:
I would have to say more lights along some of the paths and walkways, it can get pretty dark at night when walking.
Location:
I loved the location, but you do have to travel to see some of the sights. Dunn's River Falls is about 30 minutes away.
Jewel Runaway Bay Beach and Golf Resort was more than I imagined. The staff was friendly and always there to help, the grounds were well kept and the food fantastic. Everything from the pools to the glass bottom boats were excellent. I would highly recommend this resort.

Dear Annette, thank you for staying with us at JRB. We have actually just purchased 120 new lamp poles and when they arrive we will be replacing the ones that are missing and changing out the others.
Fantastic Resort
Pros:
Staff is amazing
Cons:
beds are really hard, but after a few days you get adjusted to it
My husband & I went the week of 9/5-9/11. This resort is top notch. Staff is so eager to help with any and all of your needs. We are already planning our return trip to take our family.
