Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Saint Ann's Bay

This is a 2 part review 1st is how i felt about the property: If you love loud noise then the pool view is for you. I prefer quiet so i requested a change. I was given the mountain and gaden view on a higher level. That was perfect as the music in the lobby plays for hours and can be heard loudly inroom on lower levels. There are quite a few restaurants which were ok at best. The beach area is very small and lots of small stones in the beach. The pools are beautiful and the landscaping deserves a few awards. 2nd half is for the staff I had some trying times getting acclamated on my first night and the staff went above and beyond to assist with getting us adjusted. My most notable experience was the upper managements professionalism including Lenox ( mgt/dr guess services) and Rasheed ( mgt food n beverages) who both went above and beyond to make sure that our requirements were met on every level. They have a fun nightlife and overall the staff who i encountered were lovely.

10/10 Experience! Just left the Sandals Dunn River resort and I have to say—everything was top tier! The service was truly 10/10 from beginning to end. The staff made the experience unforgettable. Special shoutout to Tiana, Rebecca Jane, the amazing bartender Antionette, Donovan, Juwan, Bernadine, and the restaurant waiter-Tawana. I can’t remember everyone’s name, but these individuals stood out with their kindness, professionalism, and energy. They made us feel welcome, cared for, and truly on vacation. I’ll definitely be back—and recommending this resort to friends and family. Thank you all for making our stay so special!

I can’t express enough how fantastic the service, food, entertainment and overall quality of the resort. We were blown away! I want to say a special thank you to Melissa the GM, her attentiveness and customer care was exceptional. Massive shout out to chef Juan, chef Kevin and Chef Derrick - we requested authentic Jamaican cuisine and these guys delivered to such a high standard and made our stay so special. Cannot recommend this place enough. 10/10 all round

Two words…truly exceptional! This was THE perfect vacation. All inclusive…amazing food and drinks, gorgeous resort, breathtaking views and wonderful people. This was like home away from home. My husband spoiled me with booking the Tufa Terrace Suite and it was worth every penny. Our butlers, Akeem and Fernando, went above and beyond. Sandal’s is the place to stay!!

Everything was amazing from food to drinks to service from all employees!!!! Did not want to come home!!! I have never tasted food so good at an all inclusive hotel resort!!!!

A great choice of different pools to where you can relax, have a drink and meet people. Having access to both sides of the resort was great via a short bus ride. There are quite a few restaurants options, however, we found only the sushi restaurant really stood out. There’s a speakeasy as well, which is fun. The bartenders at the swim up bars can seem a little gruff and uninterested, but that’s our only critique. The hospitality staff were friendly and excellent.

We spent a week at Sandals Ochi, and had a fantastic time. My only complaint would be that the main pool with the swim up bar on the beach side needs to be completely refurbished, many many tiles are missing and it just looks terrible. Staff is wonderful, food and drinks where great. So many dining options, hope to go back next year.

Staff were fantastic. Food was good but some of the restaurants weren't open when they said they would be. Condition of pools was below average. Both my wife and I cut our feet on broken tiles on the pool bottom. Could hear everyone revving their engines on the street outside the resort.

Enjoyed our stay at Sandals Ochi and the resort, entertainment, and activities. Pros Most of the food was good Lots of activities Butler service was solid Room was adequately stocked and cleaned Steel drum band was the best show I’ve ever seen! Cons Drinks were ‘mid’ Not enough chairs for seating around pool or beach unless you got there early. The entertainment staff was way too pushy and didn’t like ‘no’ for participation. May be the culture but no means no. Not everyone wants to participate. Other notes: You have to take a shuttle to hilltop and then seaside anytime You are involved with activities or dining. It came often but does take a lot of time out of your stay. Lots of bees around the bar but everyone got used to it. Staff were friendly but entertainment staff as I said before was real pushy. Be prepared for their extreme persistence. Italian was really good. Very clean but expect bugs everywhere you go (including rooms). They can’t help ALL the bugs. It’s not too invasive.

Had a really great experience at Sandals Ochi. The staff is very welcoming and polite. The resort is a bit outdated but it’s still nice and clean and convenient. Did not have one problem on my stay. Food was really good specially the restaurants that you had to reserve. Drinks were really good, they can make you pretty much whatever you ask for. One stand out employee was Jason from the pool bar. Great personality and very welcoming. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and I will visit again.

The quietness of the area, lots of space for children to play. The pool! a bonus for a early morning swim.

The villa was very clean and spacious. The pool was lovely and the garden very big.

I loved everything about this property. It was not off of the main road ((having a car is better)), so its quiet. If you see anyone, they are friendly and nice. I will definitely be staying here again. Extra bonuses is having access to the pool and gym. Theres a pool table and a ping pong table. I would recommend to famailies.

Perfect home for a family escape with easy access to pool and kids play area. The house was tastefully furnished and beautifully kept. Richmond estate is a very secure, modern scheme. Great location for sightseeing in St. Ann, and Ocho Rios. The property manager was very proffessional, with excellent communication skills and she ensured everything was in order and operated seamlessly. All instructions and directions were very clear and helpful.

Great host, comfortable condo on a great clean property. Lovely pool and home gym

I appreciate the location, cleanness of the villa, in a gated community with all the necessary amenities on the property, but if you leave the property only a few miles down the road you have several local shops eateries and the beauty of being in Jamaica

Please put the actual number on the house or somewhere visible...took longtime to find...but once we found it it was right there...vary safe...perfect for what we wanted will definitely book again.

The welcome on arrival was a pleasant unexpected surprise. The variety of food on the menu for breakfast was good. The food options overall were good. The pool was an enjoyable experience and the room comfortable. Wine for each room was an added bonus. Steven, at the bar at the pool side was very polite, pleasant and willing to serve us.

1. Lots to keep kids entertained - arcade , play room, night shows eg magic show , pools, slides, beach volley ball, beach obstacle course. My kids loved it all. 2. Lots of food options kids will love eg donuts at breakfast, crepes, ice cream, pizza, burger, nuggets , no shortage of these. We also enjoyed hibachi and steak and seafood restaurants. 3. Massive property so lots of pool and beach options 4. Fairly friendly and responsive staff. Constantly checking in and clearing plates and offering new drinks. 5. Mobile app made booking restaurants a breeze and keeping up to date on activities and events.

Food was delicious, rooms pretty, clean and spacious Pools, out door facilities and beach was lovely. Surf 🏄‍♂️ machine was a big hit.....games room and kids club awsome. We had no complaints and extended our stay

I really enjoyed the rooms, pools and the various restaurants The food was definitely the best I have had at an all inclusive hotel in Jamaica

We liked everything room, food, drinks, pools and the facilities

Staff and Hotel was amazing. Shout out to Nephi - Concierge for seeking us out to make sure we had everything we needed. Tesheka and Sachiel - Spa, requests these ladies they were phenomenal! Carlyle - Swim up bar (Adults only) for being energetic and fun! Charmaine was an exceptional server. And we can't forget Krazy Legs, he was part of the fabulous Entertainment crew! Book here if you want a relaxing, but fun time!

Our stay was absolutely out of this world, I loved every second of our holiday, We celebrated our 10th wedding Anniversary in this gorgeous hotel on the adults only side, The hotel was always being cleaned, ALL the staff were amazing, On arrival our first step onto our balcony which was sea view room, literally gave me goosebumps, All restaurants where lovely, this is the first holiday we’re I haven’t suffered with stomach issues, The cocktails were amazing ;) We loved getting up at 7am and walking round the whole complex which was a good 1.7mile walk, great way to start the day and burn off them Bob Marley cocktails, I honestly do NOT have a bad world to say about this hotel, Special shout of to Holly who showed us to our gorgeous room, Rushaan on the lobby bar, Caryle on the swim up bar, Keshia who looked after us at breakfast buffet, and ALL the entertainment team… One Love 🫶🏻 we would go back in a heartbeat 🇯🇲

I’ve stayed at a couple Bahia’s now and I cant say this was my favorite. But we still had a great time! Pros and cons below: Pros: the resort activities are always fun, most of the staff are AMAZING, the buffets were decent, the room service meals were incredible, pool bar is lovely, wonderful spa, lots of offered excursions, no public beach for people to harass you to buy stuff like a lot of other Caribbean resorts, free drinks/room fridge restocked daily Cons: the layout is super weird, you had to go through so many different buildings to get where you needed to go, it’s not very separated from the kids side (some buffets are shared, shows/excursions/spa shared too) so you’ll see them unless you don’t leave the adult side (hard when you want to eat and what not), pool closes at 7pm, it was never quiet for even an hour during the night - doors slamming, workers yelling, other guests yelling etc. (expected at adults only resort, just beware), if you book a certain room, it’s not actually guaranteed you’ll get the room even as VIP status, adults side pool is oddly separated by bridges so it’s like 3 separate pools vs one long one. Overall, a great stay and would be back with better insights next time. Bring a cup for pool drinks so you don’t have to go up as often and the workers always make your drinks/experience better when you tip them, even just a dollar for each drink. Enjoy Jamaica, it will be worth your while at the Bahia! “Volveré!”

Mr. Atentamente, thank you for the opportunity to review my stay April 25-27, 2025 at Bahia Principe Luxury Runaway Bay - Adults Only - All Inclusive. I apologize for replying to your invitation to me in Spanish in my native English language. Overall, the conditions of your pristine property, our contemporary suites, and the global cuisine in the restaurants were outstanding—especially Takara and the Jazmin Buffet. As for services, at all places and times, each staff member was friendly and considerate. However, not everything was perfect. First, I booked and paid online for two suites, but your website would permit me to check in and make a la cart restaurant reservations online in advance for only one suite, not both. None of my texts, chats and phone calls to you about this problem were returned. I was relieved when those failures were resolved promptly by staff members upon my arrival. Second, the nightly "music" and other entertainment at the pool were so loud and painful, I had to stay away from the pool, and I needed ear plugs to get to sleep in our suite. While annoying, I don't want to overemphasize these two issues. They were small blemishes on an otherwise wholly pleasant experience at Bahia Principe Luxury Runaway Bay - Adults Only - All Inclusive. Thank you. John Rosenbaum, Naples, Florida.

The service was great, especially from the guys at the swim up bar and Sherana from the entertainment team. She would always make me feel special by calling out to me, such a pleasant person. Big up Sherana. This is Bonita

Wow, what an amazing experience at Moon Palace Jamaica! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and I loved trying all the different restaurants. The nightly entertainment was incredible—especially the Michael Jackson show and karaoke, which were so much fun! The staff truly made my trip unforgettable. Huge shoutout to Andre, Kymani, and Demitri at the swim-up pool bar for their amazing service and energy. Shellian, Richardo, and Romardo were phenomenal entertainers who kept the vibe exciting every single night. And Johnnoy was a fantastic trainer—I had such a great time in both the spin class and water aerobics! The only real disappointment was the resort credits. I was so excited to use them, but I felt very restricted with where and how I could spend them. It honestly took away from the value I expected, which was frustrating given how much I enjoyed everything else. If the credits had been more flexible, this stay would have been absolutely perfect.

Good family vacation with 2 adults and 2 teens. Many things were great such as beach, wait staff, rooms in shorter walkout building, swim up bars and dining/snack options. Food and drinks were good. Coffee shop was nice, coffee and crepes were great as well as wait staff. Teppanyaki restaurant was really fun, our chef did an excellent job playing games and making time go by fast. Beach was sandy and clean, not a lot of rocks or seaweed. The VIP section of the beach (including Expedia VIP members with black wristbands) was really nice addition. It had cabanas that were great as well as a constant waiter. Did have to get up early to get chairs. Churros from cart were delicious. Staff was hit or miss, some really good others not. A few items made it not 5 star. First night (Sat) there was a club (off property but close) open until 5am. We could hear the VERY loud dj and music like the club was in our room (21515). Went to change rooms next day, front desk acted like they didn’t know what I was talking about, however multiple reviews have mentioned. Nothing was available but they’d reach out if even a room on the other side of the building opened, didn’t hear back. Went back on Tues and paid to upgrade to the shorter walkout building (room 10504) well worth it. It was a much larger room and very quiet, highly recommend. Transportation was so so, had to wait a while to leave the airport and on return trip to airport 2 seats were broken but people were forced to sit on them.

Set up for kids in the snack bar around the kids pool. Very accessible for children's food and for sure the hotel knows kids food preferences!! Front desk staff very kind and helpful with all questions! Pier 8 restaurant was excellent, service, food! Loved it! The room was very clean and housekeeping service kept organized and changed towels everyday!! Buffet was not as expected for this 5 star-4 diamonds hotel and staff service at the buffet was not as good as beach and pool service. Buffet can improve service. Still, Moon Palace Jamaica was a dream that came true!! Thank you!

Amazing all inclusive resort and good fun for all ages. Friendly staff and great food and drinks. Special shoutout to Keelah and Nicole for being flexible on last minute requests. The pools were clean and i did not find abhorrent levels of chlorine pools from other trips. Only problem is that the staff selling the timeshare are very pushy. But thats a nuisance for 2 hours. Otherwise it is a great place for vacation.

A very sweet and cute place to stay. Beautiful view and pool. No beach access but this is only one bit of our trip so I wasn’t fussed by that. We sat down on a little bit they have on the ocean and we watched pufferfish. We met the friendly owner who made effort with my children early one morning (which meant a lot!) and a few of the servers (one in particular quickly became our favourite) We loved breakfast (really good value) and it set us up beautifully for the day I will say that a parent travelling alone with two children, it didn’t feel very family friendly. There were no children there (not Hibiscus Lodge’s fault of course!) but it did mean I felt like I had to tell them to keep it down when they were in the pool as no one wanted to use the pool but a fair few wanted to lay by it most of the day. Equally one evening we had some disparaging looks whilst we played a board game outside our room, but it was very early and didn’t last long! Our room wasn’t anything fancy but we hadn’t asked for that and were more than happy with the simplicity. I would perhaps comment that it’s hard to shower little ones in because the floor gets very hot (I presume boiler/piping under the tiles) but that’s not a complaint. I do think the evening menu in the restaurant is a bit of a let down and a bit expensive, but there is an excellent food spot past Mahogany beach on Main Street that we visited and loved. We will be back again when they’re a bit older and less overexcited in the pool!

Setting of this hotel is stunning. Pool was quiet and many other secluded spaces to chill out. Very clean and safe property, food was very good. Hotel was very accommodating, we had an evening bus out of Ocho Rios to our next location and they were happy to allow us stay around and use the pool and other facilities until it was time to leave.

If you're looking for a place that is conveniently located to the local shops and Mahogany Beach well this is it. Our room was located on the 2nd floor and the view of the ocean from the balcony was so beautiful. We brought our own washcloths and housekeeping washed them for us every morning and returned them back to our room. The breakfast was complimentary and so delicious. I wanted Jamaican homestyle dishes and the chef did not disappoint. Also, the pastries and bread are made on the property, we purchased a loaf to take back home with us. The staff was very courteous, helpful, and pleasant. If you don't mind some loud music from the locals at night or if you're here on Sunday you can here the church service and gospel music from the church across the street. Even those things made my experience that much more real. The garden was nice and perfect place to take pictures. The parrot did not want take photos lol. The tunnel entrance to their manmade beach was so cool especially if you go at night, but that "beach" was for people who just want to sunbathe. If you want the full beach experience walk down the street and spend the 500JAMD, (a little over $3USD) to enjoy the beach. The pool and hot tub was a nice addition and made for a cool way to relax after a hot day. Beach towels are available at the front office.

Absolutely amazing time at this wonderful hotel. The staff is amazing, Danville, the bartender is a real gem. He made the most amazing drinks. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable. The breakfast is amazing, I loved the ackee fruit/salt cod and johnny cakes. The escovitche fish is quite tasty as well. And of course the coffee. All overlooking the beautiful sea. A wonderful pool, but even better, a little alcove down by the ocean with steps into the ocean. A peaceful place to hang out. It is in the middle of Ochos Rios, and next to a church, so can be a bit noisy. But easy walks to other great restaurants, and just down the street to the Patty place (so tasty), the grocery store (great place to get spices) and the craft market. I enjoyed my stay so much I'll be back again next year for my birthday.

Stunning location overlooking the Caribbean. Old skool Colonial vibes, white picket fencing up a steep cliff with verandas bursting with an old almond tree. The most evocative hotel we’ve ever stayed in and we’ve stayed in some pretty stunning places. The rooms are fairly basic but make up for it in romance. Sitting on the balcony late at night listening to the crickets and watching the dark sea was one of the loveliest experiences of my life. Tiny pool but who needs one with the sea at the bottom of the dock. Food excellent, especially the breakfasts.

The Food and entertainment was outstanding. If you enjoy authentic Jamaican food, you're gonna enjoy the food, especially breakfast. The entertainment staff were real dancers and entertainers. The shows and performances were impressive. Property was nice and clean. Definitely going again. It was just me and my gf but this resort is great for one of those nights family trips. Everyone is gonna have a good time. Theu have waters slides for kids and swim up bars for the adults.

Our suite, the food, the spa, the pool, the pool bar.

Loved the soups during lunch and dinner (i.e. lentil, chicken soup, and pumpkin soup). The dining experience at the Italian restaurant was perfect and very classy. Excellent spread of food and presentation there. The breakfast was very good. Liked the omelet stations and fruits. The jerk station's jerk chicken at the pool was delicious and most authentic. The staff in the restaurants, bars, and activities were friendly and very accommodating. Loved the AquaFit water exercise activities. Would love to see more of this. The Michael Jackson show was 10/10 stars and exceeded my expectations. Very talented performers and an exceptional performance. The Reggae band performance was very good too. Enjoyed Bingo activity as well. Location is perfect and a beautiful large facility. The All White Party was awesome.

During my stay at Riu Ocho Rios, I had a wonderful time overall. The resort had a beautiful beachfront location, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. The food at the resort was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from at the buffet and a la carte restaurants. One of the highlights of my stay was the entertainment at the resort. There were live shows in the evening, as well as activities and games throughout the day. The pool area was also great, with plenty of loungers and umbrellas for relaxing in the sun

The room settings were beautiful my family enjoy the pool and the entertainment. It was a lovely experience and the most of all the staff were so loving caring they treat us so good. We never locked of anything there and we would love to visit it again.

There were so many things that I loved about the jewel. From the views, activities, food to the employees. Everyone makes you feel like family and we can't wait to go back. If you are looking for a quiet getaway were you feel more like family then a number then this is the place for you.

My first time at the hotel was a memorable weekend. The ambiance, the food, the spa, not to mention the welcoming staff and the entertainment group. They were Phenomenal. I will recommend this hotel to my friends and family. Keep up the good work.

It was very good, food was good, staff was friendly and quick to help, they made us feel worth while. Britanna was one of our server, she was so efficient and attentive, making sure we are all set to the very end. Room service was excellent, nice

This was a special offer for September from the UK. We know the diving can be better in other countries but we were interested in this resort as it is small and Butler only suites. It is not for those who like a party atmosphere or large swim-up pools but suited us and like-minded 'oldies'. Service and quality of restaurants are excellent and we would happily revisit even without the diving. We were also very lucky to be here on the occasion of turtles being released from their nest.

Everything about the resort was wonderful, the management (Marvin and Omar) always remembered our names and the daily cocktail popsicles on the beach were much appreciated. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We loved all the little games including darts, croquet, pickleball, pool, backgammon, corn hole, shuffleboard and bocce ball to name a few. The water was amazing for swimming and we also enjoyed our regular kayaking, thank you to the water sports team for looking after us. The beach butlers remembered our drinks order and always seemed to be there when you needed refreshment. Our own butlers Marvin and Bebeato were great and looked after us brilliantly, no request was too much trouble. The loyalty and travel team were great and we got to know them well through our daily games of pool. Horatio and Mahesh were lovely and we got to know Sequoia really well. Never having played pickleball before we really enjoyed our games of doubles pickleball with David and Russ and Simeon the coach shouting encouragement. The food was exceptional and all the serving staff were really friendly and accommodating. Overall it was a brilliant holiday and we have already booked to go back.

Service was on the whole really good, except we got ghosted by one butler 🙃 the property is really nice, but a bigger pool would be nicer. The best part was easy access to hillside pool on the sister property 😄 we got an ocean view room but there was barely a view of the ocean. Bed was a little too soft for me, and water in bathtub drained too slow (we complained 3 times). Overall I’m still rating it 5 stars because we had a fun time, and the staff on the whole seemed pretty happy and were very helpful, but I probably wouldn’t go back, check out a different resort next time.

The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. Our butlers Audell and Chadworth were amazing. Our photographer Shannon was great. Some of the website pictures were a little deceiving as the beach is much smaller than I expected and the pool also. The pools seem to be a little old and needing upgrade. The great service made up for the few disappointments.

An amazing stay at SRP, it was bliss from the first welcoming smile to the final wave and goodbye song. Exceptional resorts need exceptional Managers to guide and lead and GM Omar excels at this, he is so hard working and he runs a tight ship. He doesn’t just manage he gets stuck in doing tasks around the resort and his hard work and dedication filter down through all his hard working and smiling staff. A special mention has to go to our 2 outstanding Butlers Adrian and Alrick, the Double AA team. They were the team that just made everything extra special for us, day in day out. We’ve never had personal Butlers before and now we are already worrying how our next vacation will be if we don’t have them as they had such a massive positive impact on us! Food, service and drinks are were all great, you’d never be without a silver tray served drink in your hand, whether by the pool, beach or bar. The resort is in pristine condition and the plentiful flowers and plants look beautiful as you walk around. Downsides? We came here directly from another Sandals down the road which is ultra modern, so the rooms at SRP looked slightly dated but they are in great clean condition and of a generous size. SRP feels like a boutique country club hotel, it’s unique and has won a special place in our hearts.

Enjoyed my stay definitely will be returning back next year. Special thanks to Lawayne from the adult swim up bar for being so polite and courteous and also Kamar for assisting with my questions and concerns.

I did a weekend trip solo and ienjoyed every minute of it. From check in to check out everything was great I booked an ocean view suite and it was amazing . The swim up bar was great bartenders kept the vibes coming, for dinner I ate mostly from the Buffett and it was really good they had plenty options . Entertainment was great I went to the neon party where I met other persons as well . Over all it was a great weekend trip and I would definitely be going back again

This was my first time in Jamaica and my first all inclusive resort and It was Amazing! So beautiful and great entertainment in the evening. I do like how it is family friendly and also a private area for adults such as the swim up bar. I will say there was a lack of security and that is a little frightening. A customer went off and started throwing stuff in the lobby and no one stopped him.

Riu. If you want to sample Jamaica this is a good way to start. From the entrance with a rum punch to the rooms with an awesome garden or sea view. The swim up bar pools. The lovely sandy beach and a few small water rafts to keep you busy. Rooms come with a very nice selection of drinks. The entertainment’ white party lovely evening with a few hotels sending customers to join the party. Food hall is good: but be warned food is sweet: drinks are sweet: and bits of the foods menu are salty; so be prepared and careful if you have high blood pressure. Parts of the hotel are a-bit tired. So all said and done you’ll have a good time and the heat is all ways on your side. All staff are welcoming and helpful: enjoy

We just got home last night...wow... what a stay! _Short and simple... everything @ this hotel is flawless... -super clean at all times -Amazing food..... all kinds... - Amazing pools...for the more relaxed you have the quiet pool with bar. ( SUPER CLEAN SALT WATER) - Great drinks everywhere! - No vendors on the beach at all... - Designated Smoking areas also very cool...(and im a smoker). - All personal is extremely polite... i mean everyone! - Water park for the kids was pretty cool to. - The beach is just gorgeous, clear and supper warm! - Management is clearly doing an amazing job because i was here 20 year ago and came back to a much greater hotel then before (Max and the Spanish Iberians, GREAT JOB!!!)(lol)... Also being there with my family for Independence day was unforgettable, I'm defiantly repeating this one for Shure -*** We travel quite a bit as a family to the Caribbean, and i think we found our FAVORITE SPOT ***- Thanks to Ramon for the drinks @ the pool bar and Ricardo at the beach bar! and everyone else that made our stay so great!! *** I usually say that details make a difference and i noticed one of then!!! IF YOU ARE STILL IN THE BEACH BY THE TIME THEY ORGANIZE THE CHAIRS, THEY LOWER ALL CHAIRS IN FRON OF YOU SO YOU CAN HAVE A WATER VIEW FROM WHERE YOU ARE***** GENIOUS !!!**** Love it!!! we always loved Jamaica,but now we love it even more! - TOTALY RECOMENDED-

The stay was lovely , the room was excellent.. quiet and comfy... Just didn't like the face that the access toghe pool was closed so you'd have to walk all the way at the front of the property to access the pool ... That was a no for me to

The service and friendliness of all the staff, cleanliness of the rooms and location (I walked to everywhere in Ocho Rios I needed to go) were excellent. The wi-fi was an unexpected bonus as it was consistently good, allowing for app calls and even a bit of streaming. Good set-up for Covid, being in the "resilient corridor", with a restaurant on-site and a couple of affiliates nearby. The owner was extremely helpful and we were even able to hire a car at a bargain price. It was perfect for my needs, but may not suit everybody as it's not by the beach and I didn't see anyone use the pool. It is also relatively close to the highway compared to the big off-road hotels. Still, it's no big deal at these prices as you could walk to Ocho Rios beach or get a cab to Puerto Seco. A great place to stay and I would definitely recommend it. I only wish I had discovered it earlier.

The complimentary breakfast was excellent. Thanks to chief Troy.Lunch also was delicious. The room was clean & bed comfortable .The room smelt so good. The staff are very helpful. The environment was calm. The pool relaxing.The hotel is child friendly there is a small playground with a swing and slide.

I bed was comfortable u would sleep all day lol,front office agents were friendly,the only issue I got was the pool I look a bit dirty so I didn't go in.the house keepers cleaned the room on time n each time it smells so good

Nice spacious, clean rooms with with the feeling like someone prepared it for you. My wife loved it and as they say, HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE ! and i was happy with my stay trust me.They pool was good. Breakfast was great.

This property was a little slice of history! So intimate and full of character. My friend and I stayed here a week and we can’t way to return. When we arrived we were immediately treated like queens and handed glasses of champagne! The rooms are a classy type of vintage and clean, they jive a very authentic Jamaica vibe! The staff are exceptional! There are so many staff members we genuinely hope we see again that we have made friends with! We love the activities crew, the gift shop is reasonably priced! The food is amazing and fresh, the coffee shop is awesome and has amazing frappes ! We love jumani and his awesome water tours, the entire property is extremely well maintained, the pools are beautiful, the beach is amazing, we love the flag service on the beach and how amazing Shane makes the drinks! Try the Marco Polo if you go, he makes his own drinks and they’re delicious! We had such a fun time and the restaurants eating delicious Asian food and Mediterranean food, we can’t wait to come back! 1000/10. We also got to meet the owners while we were there and they treat you like their own family? Thank you so much to the Issa family! What a wonderful resort, we made friends for life here.

There was no VIP amenities or room upgrades. We cannot complain about the age of the property. It's fairly nice and well kept. Our room was at the end of last building. It was maybe a 2 minute walk back to center of resort. We are clothing optional so we didn't opt for the cold water pools next to the resort. We boated over to the nude island every day. Smoke and get tanned in peace. They have cool activities on the water that's included in your stay. We left once for a dolphin adventure but quickly came back to enjoy the sun. Mostly all of the staff are friendly and courteous and some remember you day to day. I guess the only down part is that our room didn't have a tub. The picture online showed one but wasn't a deal breaker.

Upon arrival the staff were overtly pleasant and accommodating - truly making guests feel welcome and cared-for. Dining were excellent, every meal was at least “good” or better. We realized the best tips came from conversations with other guests who perhaps a day or three earlier learned a different part of the all-inclusive way to do it. To note if traveling to Jamaica in June: wind and/or weather WILL cause outings to be cancelled. Learn to pivot, play a game at the pool, and try something new from the bar. The property is clearly older, but has a certain bygone era charm.

I can’t say enough amazing things about this place, we absolutely loved it. It’s a smaller resort than we have stayed in and it was great and made it more comfortable, but we definitely never ran out of things to do. We did snorkeling, paddle boarding, kyacking and plenty of time relaxing by the pool/ beach. The food was absolutely delicious so many options even for vegetarians. Almost every couple we talked to had been there multiple times and I completely understand why. We will definitely be returning.

We enjoyed our stay at Couple Tower Isle, lovey, well kept property. Great food, and exceptional service. Pools a & beach never out of lounge or seating. Loved the ambiance. 2 areas of improvements - property needs more signage, eg. no signs noticed at restaurants and spa area, Also Entertainment Team could get the guests involved in daily activities..games etc.

The rooms are tranquil modern relaxing, home from home, spacious clean and fresh, the grounds are always maintained, lovely fruit trees plants and grass. The pool was clean and well maintained, adjacent beach and the sunset was a dream. Room service breakfast was a dream, overall everything was value for money. I highly recommended it.

The pool and small beach are great, also garden that leads to the beach. Everybody very helpful and smiling. If you have some needs just ask, they will help with pleasure. Thank you!

Amazing. Paradise on earth. Felt as though we were the only guest. Exceptional service. Dainty beach located directly next to pool. I will be returning again & again. Thank you all @ Pipers Cove.

Very friendly staff, place is kept clean and the pool is upkept and clean… Very good value for the price of the Seaview room. I would definitely stay again

Very clean place. Nice pool area, lovely staff. Looks better in real than on the pictures

I didn't like constantly looking for US dollars. I really l;ike all -inclusive. I found the hotel lacking in amenities It is very simple but the staff are superb. And I like being right on the beach even if the waves come almost up to the second floor.That I understand doesn't occur very often. It's too bad there's no room for a salt water swimming pool. But I hope to see you all again. Sheila

This hotel is a real taste of Jamaica. The location, right on the beach, is excellent and we could walk out of our room and into the sea within a few steps. The hotel doesn't have a pool but that doesn't matter because the sea swimming is excellent. The food was some of the best we had on the island.

A Hidden Gem at San and Tan Beach Hotel I recently stayed at San and Tan Beach Hotel, and it was an incredible experience! Nestled right on the beach, the hotel offers stunning views and a serene atmosphere that made our getaway truly special. The location is perfect. With direct access to a beautiful stretch of sand and crystal-clear waters, we spent our days soaking up the sun and enjoying the gentle ocean breeze. It felt like paradise! While the hotel is reasonably priced, the quality of service exceeded our expectations. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. From check-in to check-out, they made us feel right at home. The food at San and Tan was another highlight. Each meal was delicious, with a mix of local flavors and international dishes that catered to everyone’s tastes. We particularly enjoyed the traditional Jamaican breakfast, which were both fresh and flavorful. Our room was comfortable and well-appointed, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The views from our balcony were breathtaking, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a drink as the sun set over the horizon. Overall, our stay at San and Tan Beach Hotel was fantastic. The combination of stunning beachfront location, friendly service, tasty food, and cozy accommodations made for a memorable trip. If you’re looking for a charming beach getaway, I highly recommend San and Tan—it’s a wonderful escape that won’t break the bank!

This my honest and heartfelt review, I did some research online before I book this little paradise in Jamaica, if I had base my decision on the negative reviews I wouldn't have come here but let me tell you, you have to go here to experience it for yourself. This little hotel is family run and they are still improving the property , the staff are amazingggg the food is delicious the room have all the amenities for a comfortable stay, room is clean you get jamaican coffee, tea and bottles of water in your room. The view of the ocean from the room during sunrise and sunset is to die for, the way to get here is through a local community village of fishermen that looks out for the area, it might seems sketchy but it's safe and the owners never had issues all the years they've been here. This hotel have a river beside the property so you have both the beach and the river, when I say I didn't want to leave this property because if the tranquility and the beauty of this place I almost cried thinking about going back home to my first world life. To sum it up go and experience it for yourself everyone is looking for different things and for us this was the perfect vacation. Thanks to the team at sand and tan beach hotel I will spread positive word about this piece of paradise

Sand and Tan was amazing....You wake up every morning to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. It's soothing, it's rejuvenating, it's like nature's own white noise machine. And let's talk about the food, The hotel had an incredible range of dishes, from authentic Jamaican cuisine to mouth-watering Mediterranean plates. And get this, they source a lot of their ingredients from local organic farmers. I'm talking eggs, chicken, pork, bacon - you name it, they got it. And let me tell you, their curried goat and oxtail were top-notch. But the real star of the show was the fresh seafood. I had the best King crab I've ever had in my life. And that's saying something, The beach bar was our go-to spot, especially during sunset. It was 420 friendly, and the Rumpunch was simply delicious. Or you could grab a jelly coconut and just soak up the sun. And the staff, folks, they were super cool. They made sure we had everything we needed, and then some. We went paddleboarding from the ocean into the river, and we even went on a fishing trip with Ricky - that's right, me - and caught our own Snapper. It was an unforgettable experience, let me tell you. Overall, I would highly recommend the Sand and Tan hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Been to different carribean islands before but the hotel was beautiful very grand entrance. hotel room was lovely very spacious we did upgrade to premium but i did hear older rooms needed refreshing and resort is full of friendly staff, i cant understand some reviews that said it was a bit run down and unfriendly staff we were worried. It was absolutely the opposite it is so lovely we loved the hotel all higher end decor. Restaurants are decorated beautifully friendly staff, the odd one isnt but you get that everywhere. Fabulous the knife steahouse, italian pizzas looked great but just not the taste we used to, buffet excellent choice every day. Lovely music playing great atomoshphere welcoming fun pool entertainment staff, excellent big sports bar all decorated modern classic. Pool is great swim up bars can either be in a slightly busy pool or quieter pool very spacious. Had such a great holiday definately a return holiday. See hummingbirds around the flowers. Entertainment on a night was okay, hotel rooms were quiet but music on lobby does play till 2pm but didnt bother us we managed to get to sleep after day in pool or at beach where great tropical fish swam about. Totally reccommend.

We just came back from a 10 day vacation and we had an incredible time at this resort. I have no complaints at all. The people working there are so friendly and helpful. Whatever you need they help you with so you can enjoy your stay. I also loved how kind they were towards my children. Our room was lovely and close to all amenities. I loved that the pool, beach and kids water park are all close to each other. Not a far walk from anything. The food was fantastic. Lots of fresh meat, fish, seafood and everything tasted great. The bars were awesome. We tried so many different drinks and even asked for special creations which the bartenders happily made. The shows were great, kids entertainment was great. Pool and beach were perfect. The water was so clear and you can even see some fish. The service at the restaurants was excellent. I have no complaints and am so happy we chose this beautiful resort with everything it had to offer. Thank you for a lovely and memorable vacation!

We liked that there were lots of places to go in the pool. We also liked the layout of the pool. Our room had a balcony and we really enjoyed that. We enjoyed the snack bar and the lunch buffet. There were lots of fish by the small beach in the cove, really great for snorkeling! As a small family of 3, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

An honest review from 13 brits abroad. Hotel- nice enough wouldnt say 5* some areas a bit run down Food- main buffet - lots of variety - customer service at the smaller restaurants was not great the ladies at the main desk at the Italian and the japanese were extremely rude and hostile to us and not accomodating to a bigger party. Main pool bar- great spot for lots of drinks and partying - dareece and tiffany are amazing entertaining staff and get everyone involved. Donna and the staff behind the main pool bar are amazing ! Entertainment- beach party at weeekend is definitely a must do ! There is also great entertainment on a sunday in the square - the night club is shut unfortunately and has been for 4 months. Should definitely do the excursions to dunnes river , bob marleys house , ricks cafe and river rafting. In general we had a fantastic holiday however i definitely think some of the staff need some training in their manners.

I like that the property had the beach all around and the pool and entertainment around the pool was excellent for adults and kids
