We loved the staff who were friendly, especially Sherece, Pebbles, and Desmond. They took care of us and made us feel like family. My only issues was with housekeeping not providing towels/ wash cloths daily and that we encountered a roach in the French restaurant crawling on the couch during dinner. Needless to say, we didn’t eat dinner that night. Room service took forever to get when we ordered, or was completely out of food. If I were to go back to this property, it would be because of Sherece, Pebbles, and Desmond, and all the staff who made our stay enjoyable.

Enjoyed our stay here. The property is very nice but spread out so plan on doing a decent amount of walking. We were in St James Preferred which is on the far north end of the property by the spa. Most of the restaurants are on the south end. If you are not at Breathless or in St James preferred you don't get access to the breathless pool 3 bars and in my opinion the best 3 restaurants so if you go here make sure you get upgraded to preferred. That said if you stay at breathless it is a walk to get to the beaches. If they are not full it is usually free.

The staff at this hotel was EXTREMELY rude and dismissive throughout our entire stay! I reached out to your staff to help adjust accommodations but they never answered/returned your calls even after 24hrs. I was able to reach the hotel a day later and verbally confirmed new rooms only to get there and the rooms were NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Also, the food was barely edible. Horrible vacation and experience!

Beautiful beach, plenty room to walking and running outside the hotel for exercise. Not enough space to walk at the beach.

The hotel as pictured is beautiful however the food at the restaurants were not flavorful and the portions were small. Not forgetting three power outages at night and a mouse I found on my balcony. The elevators can only hold 4 people at a time and are out dated. The “Jamaican” cuisine at Blue Mountain was disappointing and lacked flavor. The cuisine at the French restaurant lacked salt and my dinner was cold. However I did enjoy The jerk chicken man and the Jamaican patties which were daily lunch poolside options. The breakfast options were great and they had three live omelette stations. The resort lacked activities and entertainment throughout the day, as a poolside option. Thankfully I was a preferred club member which gave me exclusive access to Breathless’ resort, I ended up eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at Breathless’ resort, which was absolutely worth every delicious bite.

Booked about one week in advance. Arrived at location and was told room wasn’t ready. Was told to go have lunch, room would be ready after. After lunch, was then told there weren’t enough rooms and then they transferred me to a sister property down the street that didn’t have the same amenities. Very disappointed in how this was handled. Luckily the staff and some of the amenities we did have helped.
