As two young females going to have a night out. We felt very safe due to the level of security given and communication. Damien and his coworker were very thoughtful and ensured the room was comfortable with AC on and that we were connected to Wi-Fi. The breakfast was delicious and very filling . The Manager on the day was welcoming and a little flexible with us which we really appreciated , the cleaning Lady does a fantastic job and we believe she is definitely an attribute to your company. Additionally we really appreciate the night staff Damien & co worker (I think that’s his name) due to them looking out for our safety at a night out. We look forward to coming again soon thank you from Miss White.

Do not book. The pictures and description is fake. Scary reception and poor service at checkin. Security guard is also the room service. AC does not work. Filth bathrooms. Lights or flickering like in a scary movie. Not reliable. Scheduled breakfast for 7:30. I had to chase the security guard to remind him of our food. There was hair and eggs crack on my breakfast.

We drove into the property for check in. A security guard told us we had to check in with him because the office was closed. It was a very strange, awkward check in process with an unprofessional security guard.

Delicious, fresh breakfast every day. Staff was diligent about getting our breakfast order. Great intro to Jamaican food! Rent a car or book a lot of tours that pick you up and bring you back. Day trip to Negril highly recommended! Day trip to Kingston good too. Fern gully road is very scenic but narrow.

Last minute booking, glad we went here

We booked last minute. Checked in and greeted by a very helpful security. He explained everything and let us know of free breakfast . He got us to our very clean room. He even took our order for breakfast next day and asked what time we wanted it delivered. Bed comfortable, tv worked well. Breakfast was good. Overall excellent.

The food and pool were the absolute highlights. Most of the staff were friendly. I arrived late the night before Labour Day and was greeted by security. They were great. I did not get my Wifi passwords until the 4th day of my 6 day stay as no staff in the office for 4 days. Long weekend, no problem. The last night of my stay, I was advised no visitors after 5 PM after I had invited friends over. It was a new rule, yet wasn't posted anywhere. It felt discriminatory. After advocating for my visitors on the property, I was extended the privlage of them being able to use the pool and hang out as long as they didn't stay overnight. Overall, the location was great and it was extremely peaceful. The food was fabulous and the pool is a definite asset. It was well suited for my needs.
