The room very clean, it was like new the staff was very friendly and helpful breakfast was great lots of choices and big portions.
Staff were very pleasant & accommodating.
Excellent chef ‘Colin’ that went out of his way to cater to our groups special dietary needs.
Restaurant & bar right up close to the sea enabling us to watch the sun rise & sun set in comfort.
Outstanding staff! There was a lot of renovations taking place and we/guests should have been made aware of by Expedia. Prices should have reflected diminished state of the property under renovation. The hotel also needs reliable, easily accessible transportation options. Location is remote and it’s a lengthy wait for transportation and expensive to get to Kingston from Port Royal.
Very friendly staff.Clean room,great place to be , very quiet and a peaceful place to relax.The kids loved the pool side and foor was great.Miss Yvonne made us feel very comfortable and welcoming .She organised breakfast and took care of us during our stay.Thanks to all the staff especially the cleaner ladies. They made sure we had enough towels and ensure that our room was tidy.Thanks again

It is a very nice property, although some aspects of it could be modernized. The staff was great and very accommodating and the food was awesome.
The breakfast and dinner was excellent. The staff was very accommodating. This place has a rich history which dates back to centuries. A staff member patiently shared that long history with me. Don’t hesitate to book and the view of the harbor is magnificent.
Peaceful and clean, helpful and professional staff, beautiful scenery, excellent food. I grew up in that town and love that they employ some locals. I was treated like royalty even by the staff who didn’t know me. I was feeling nostalgic and proud, The hotel is a hidden gem and less than 10 minutes away from the airport and walking distance from the historic Fort Charles, Giddy House, Old Naval Hospital and lots more.

Rooms were clean with basics, no frills. Internet connection great. Food and staff, excellent. View, spectacular!
The breakfast was excellent. The view at the dining area was amazing. The grounds were well maintained. The hotel is under construction, and the accommodations are not quite up to par. The rooms are not complete and are poorly decorated. My overall experience was not the best.
Room was very nice and clean, restaurant was outstanding - I got snapper Escovitch and shrimp martini. The view is unbeatable in Port Royale. Very calm atmosphere and they will arrange pickup for airport 24/7.
Breathtaking views and fabulously tranquil seems hardly possible its so close the Kingston town and the airport. Fabulously spacious and beautifully decorated room. Staff were very helpful & accommodating.
