Food was very appealing, and not Institutional, Including local food items such as Cho,Cho's, Hated the timeshare people, Very annoying and pushy, All of the hotel employees were so helpful and engaging, Loved the Band on Wed Night, Very Good, and danced under the stars, Almost won on Bingo, LOL. Alcohol was very good, enjoyed the daily drink choices, […] Great Jerk Chicken/Pork. Liked the Tours offered as well. Expedia was very helpful, and Desk got us to Church on Wed, Taxi Driver Gary was fantastic and friendly. Hotel location was very central to all things we wanted to do. Skaityti daugiau

Rooms were very nice. Was moved into a room with a King size bed without any problems. Areas this hotel could improve is the small stuff, better pillows, new towels for bathroom, the other are worn out. The grounds were very well kept and clean. The beach in very disappointing. I was looking to walk the beach, but it wasn't there :( I felt very safe […] at all times. They charge to use the safe in the rooms which I didn't like. Not really any beach bars. Pool was HUGE! Activity group did a nice job entertaining day as well as night. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. I would go back again. Skaityti daugiau

I will visit this Hotel again, had a great time..The only time I had some concerns was the need for bathroom towels, it takes forever to get clean towels.

The hotel was very nice, Clean rooms. Too big of a resort. Highlight of our trip was snorkeling and jerk chicken. Specifically it is unbelievable how many different verity of colorful fishes you get to see right at the resort and included in the package. Jerk chicken was very good but only served between noon - 3:00pm and even that too we had to wait […] almost everyday for 20 - 30 mins. It ran out quickly. I would recommend bringing your own container if you are a beer drinker. The glasses are very small and the resort being so big you have to walk some distance to get a refill. Service was hit and miss. We had hard time booking diner at one of the restaurants. Partly because we were party of 11. Could be easy for smaller group. Buffet were okay, nothing very special. If I were to go next time I would look for 5 start, little smaller resort. You may have to pay just little more as this resort is not cheap either. It would be worth. Skaityti daugiau

The overall experience was ok. The all inclusive deal is very convenient .

This is a very large resort and always seemed overcrowded. The a la cart resturaunts had no availability for a family of five they kept trying to give us reservations for two; therefore we had to eat the buffet for every meal which was little to be desired. The pool chairs were all taken each morning by 8:45. The beach area was very nice and we were […] able to find enough chairs. There is no wait staff at the pool or becah area. Overall the staff was very friendly but we felt the resort itself was understaffed and poorly operated. Skaityti daugiau

Perfect experience! Loved the food, location, beach, staff was great. Clean and beautiful. Go and enjoy! will be back, no complaints other than gym could be better. jerk chicken grilled to perfection on the beach daily, great suites!!! loved every moment.

The hotel and staff were generally very good. The only issue is the hotel's "Privilege Club". The staff constantly hounds you to sign up for their time share program. All the people who had this program were generally unhappy with it and did not recommend dealing with this company. The staff refused to take "no" for an answer and would incessantly harrass […] guests to get them to sign up, because the staff gets paid on commission. Terrible high-pressure sales tactics ultimately ruined my vacation. Avoid the hassle and choose another hotel. Skaityti daugiau

Our family of 4 enjoyed the sheer size and diversity of the hotel. You don't appreciate the excellent beach as it is not in front of the main hotel but its worth the walk and there is excellent food and drink right on the beach. The jerk chicken and/or pork is better on the beach than from the main buffet and the daily paella at the beach is also excellent. The […] pool is extensive and an excellent change of pace from the beach. The rooms clean and reasonable in size. Something as minor as the quality of the toilet paper could be improved, The TVs small but excellent variety of cable programming. The main buffet quite good but not as good as our visit last year. We saw signs of cost cutting, such as hard to get a glass of the house wine but easy to order the upscale wine bottle at an additional cost. My family would not know the difference and simply did without wine most nights at dinner. Deserts attractively presented but the taste only ordinary to average. We had a bad experience at another nearby Spanish chain but this hotel is exactly our speed, we will be back. Our rating; 4 out of 5. Hope this is seen as constructive criticism Skaityti daugiau

There is absolutely no much to say about this hotel. The only thing that the hotel really needs is enterntaiments for the guests such as theatre

Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Hotel is clean and beautiful. However it rained & there were major leaks throughout the hotel. The food at the specialty restaurants is good. but the food at the buffet wasnt very tasty. I was expecting traditional Jamaican food, but instead the food was bland and not fulfilling. Add salt and pepper to the […] food and this would be a 5 star resort, but until then it's a strong 4. Skaityti daugiau

Our trip was for our honeymoon. The hotel is NOT a honeymoon resort this is an older adult/family resort. I would def recommend this hotel just not for a honeymoon. I would even go back with a group of friends or my family. The room service was not the greatest.

The landscape of the resort was beautiful. We felt the large size of the resort caused some of the other things they offer to be lacking. The food at the resort was not ever hot. The presentation was nice but the food really was not that good. The Drinks seemed to be watered down. i asked how to make a drink and they would not show me the lables on […] any of the bottles. Our room looked clean, but when we walked across the floor the bottom of our feet would black with dirt. Skaityti daugiau

Arrived the day after Hurricane Sandy. Expected to see the hotel in ruins. The staff had the entire premises clean within hours. The food was excellent at the buffet and the restaurants. The biggest selling point of the hotel was how CLEAN it was. Club Golden room put us ocean-front on an upper level. Staff catered to the few small problems we had at […] arrival (towels, extra bed request). Very family friendly everywhere on resort. Everything was as advertised. All-inclusive really was ALL-INCLUSIVE. Even the shopping area on site hosted several stores with options for all souvenirs/gifts. Drank the water, NO stomach issues!!! The resort is between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, so you can enjoy excursions in either direction without traveling too far. I've been to Jamaica before and stayed in a hotel that couldn't compare to this one. Traveled in late-October and the beach and pool felt like they were private for my family (only a handful of people using beach and even less on the beach). I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS RESORT!

The first room was great but near construction...so my husband requested another room. We were placed on the other side of the resort which was old and in need of some updating. No way to double lock the door, no do not disturb sign and the towels were old and dingy. At the end of the stay there was misunderstanding with the safe key but later rectified. […] The food and night life was excellent though...love the natives. I will go back and take my own towels.

Stayed here the first weekend of October. The resort is very large and since it was off-season, it seemed even larger. Expedia's VIP check-in allowed me to skip the concierge to a private Gold's Club check-in. This was a nice bonus. The hotel was clean, as were our room. Mini fridge was replinished daily. The pool and beach area were both nice as well […] (perhaps because it wasn't too crowded?). The buffet was good for breakfast and dinner but my favorite place to dine was at the beach-side grill. The jerk chicken there was some of the best I've had anywhere. They also had local disches such as curried goat and stewed beef; which were good too! Skaityti daugiau

When people first hear about the beutifull Jamaica, then often forget the great staff, that truly make this place paradise. The hotel it great in every sence of the word! Clean,large rooms,pool area always clean fun and friendly place. The food :) AMAZZZING!!!. Cant wait to go back yahhhh mann!

Do your research, focus on the negative reviews and make sure you are willing to deal with whatever they experienced. Personally I had a wonderful stay at the Grand Bahia, the staff was outstanding and at no time were they ever rude or unaccommodating. The food was good and they do their best to cater to everyone. The only difference I saw with the […] room, was the tv. If you want the flat screen pay for the upgrade, but remember your in Jamaica what the hell are you doing watching tv. The property is well kept and security is always present, they even have a guard on each building day and night. At no point in time did I feel threatened or harassed. Be prepared to walk, this is not a place for lazy people but you don't have to rush. Oh, if you have it to spare tip the staff. Not because you have to but because the deserve it. Skaityti daugiau

Our family of 4 stayed here the week of Aug 11-Aug 18. Called after booking to request a room on the 3rd floor or higher, beach front, and 2 rooms close together. All of my requests were met on check in. The rooms were beautifully decorated and clean. We had a problem with a leak from the room above. Called the front desk and maintenance was there within […] 1/2 hour and repaired it in 10 minutes. The food at the buffet was very good. Each night was a different country's theme. The restaurants were great. Food and service was very good. Mosquitoes are a problem (not the hotel's fault) blame it on Jamaica. I recommend taking bug spray and using it as soon as you get off the plane. There are 2 beaches 1-swimming, crystal clear water soft sand bottom. The other for snorkling. My husband spotted an octopus, very exciting. All in all this place is perfect for a family vacation. Skaityti daugiau

The hotel is very beautiful. There are plenty of pool and beach chairs. However, the resort is almost too big with over 800 rooms, the quality of service and food was not exactly the greatest but it was decent. I am spoiled with previously staying in 5 star resorts. However, our group had a great time. There were mixed sexes, seven of us total, ages […] 22-30. We had a great time because we were a fun group but if you are looking to find young single people, don't go to this resort. The disco was fun for us but again it was because we were a large, entergetic group. This resort is perfect for couples or families. It was a great vacation and experience overall. Also, as far as the previous review about bedbugs, cockroaches and mosquitoes, I am a germ freak and I felt like our room was very acceptable. They mop the floors and change the sheets everyday which was very nice. Skaityti daugiau

the hotel is huge, which is ok , if they had more signs, and the employees actually knew where places were. Every employee we asked for directions , no one knew how to find anywhere. I thought the food would've been much better! ( and were not picky eaters) . Majority of the staff were not very friendly at all. This hotel is more like a 2 star.

Room wasn't ready when we entered the room, we had to take our own bags to the room. The mesh on the bed post had dead insect on it, the water from the toilet was running constantly, the shower drain was blocked up.

Well, I am a frequent traveler and I am a Caribbean too. I will be as fair as possible. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, I have a few complaints. First, there were no "Do Not Disturb" tags available. Hence, the housekeeping staff would knock anywhere from 8:30-9:30A.M. If you were in the room, they would request for YOU to pick up the dirty […] towels and hand them over. I am sorry;I am on vacation. I do not want to be disturbed let alone, be asked to pick up my own towels. It seems like a lot of the guests were locals. Did not mind that but I did not have ONE restful night at this hotel. People were walking down the hall screaming, speaking loudly at ALL times of the night. REALLY??? incredibly annoying. It doesn't end there of course. My coffee maker in the room did not work. It took THREE phone calls to get a replacement. Next, the beds were incredibly uncomfortable. As i mentioned, i didn't have ONE restful night. Do I recommend this place? if you don't mind any of these inconveniences go ahead, the food was great although, that brings up another issue. Many times i sat in the dining room waiting for utensils, water, etc. Don't get me wrong, i am not hard to please. But these flows are annoying and for the money paid? NOT acceptable. Good luck.

The hotel is an hour away from the airport and there is really nothing around the hotel in terms of a night life. The property is nice with beautiful scenery. The front lobby staff was okay, nothing special. There was a lady at the activities reservation area who was a total hag, just rude and unfriendly... We were starting to think the entire staff […] was like that however when we went to eat and walk around staff was very friendly. The beaches on the property are man made and covered in rocks so bring water shoes of sorts if you plan on going to the beach.

ROOM The room itself was well furnished and looked after. We were both surprised by how large the room was and how large and modern the bathroom looked. The housekeeper was very friendly (we tipped every other day), but the floors were not mopped daily and a few days we didn't receive a water. As with all the other reviews, have more than one key as […] they seem to deactivate themselves and waiting in line to have a key re-coded is a waste of time (bring all keys when re-coding). FOOD One of the larger spreads I have seen at an all-inclusive, but the quality was hit and miss. Overall, most of the food was over-cooked and bland, so we stuck to the same few dishes, quickly burning out on the offering. The best bet for lunch is to head down to the beach for Jerk Chicken on lunch. Double check on opening/closing times for restaurants as those listed in the welcome packet were not correct. POOL/BEACH The resort is huge and has endless choices for tanning/swimming/drinking, etc. We loved walking down to the farthest end of the beach (by the nude beach) - it was close to the bar, relatively quiet and on a calm part of the reef. Highly recommend reserving snorkeling gear as the wildlife from the adjacent reef is plentiful and worth experiencing. STAFF Our experience with hotel personnel is all over the chart, from dismal to mediocre to five-star. However, there were enough friendly, engaging staff that made up for the negative experiences.
