The security guards, Mr. Green and Mr. Brooks, were incredibly helpful and made sure we had a wonderful stay at the hotel while sightseeing. Breakfast was served on time, and they addressed all our concerns. They were so kind and welcoming. We could watch our favorite channels, the hotel room was spacious, and housekeeping kept the space neat. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend the hotel to others visiting Jamaica.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast offered was really tasty.
Some area on the property could use some renovation but overall a good stay.
Would return!
Enjoyed my stay here. Place was clean. Staff was very friendly professional and helpful. We got a Jamaican breakfast which was a plus. I'd definitely stay here again.
This place is a good place to stay . The staff are helpful and friendly.

The property is located at the rear of a shopping center, and police precinct in St Mary. This is a quiet motel, with a small pool.
Room cleanliness is good, the tv and channels are tricky to navigate, I had to request an iron board and iron for the room, the bedside lamp had an electric short, the housekeepers seemed stressed but are polite, the security staff pretty much take care of the guests, all other staff are 9-5 mon-Sat, The rooms are cleaned every other day. I did not enjoy the breakfast personally, it gets delivered daily by security from one of the restaurants in the shopping center, but you have to order the evening/night before with security. You need a vehicle to get around. If you only need a bed to sleep in without all the resort nonsense, and away from the usual tourists, this is your spot. If you wanna stay on a property with amenities to keep your interest, look elsewhere. Ocho Rios is 12-15 minutes drive away, white river rafting is 8 minutes away,
The breakfast was phenomenal. The staff was so wonderful, helpful and kind. The accommodations were very clean. Huge hot tub, beautiful pool. Overall beautiful experience of jamaica
This is a good property for people who’ve already been to Jamaica and know how to navigate the island. The staff were great and the rooms were clean. This is a basic place to stay. If you need excursions assistance or a lot of amenities, this is not the place for you.

The hotel was in a central spot every thing was was close whatever you need the staff was great I would recommend the hotel to friends and family.. I will be back in October
Located a little way outside Ocho Rios, but a route taxi is pretty cheap to get to places (just make it clear you don't want a private charter or the prices skyrocket).
The breakfast is very filling, the pool was fun and had pool toys, although the hot tub didn't always heat, there is a restaurant, fruit stand, paid laundry service, water refill shop, and two corner grocery stores just beside the property. Some are closed on Saturday and everything on Sunday though.
First time in Jamaica I came to have a great time for my birthday I really like the view, the room was clean ,staff’s were friendly,food was so tasty I can’t wait to go back again
