Top Reviews of Jamaica Hotels

There’s a ton of hotels in Jamaica to choose from. Each has its own merits and admittedly they all have a fault or two as well.

Before pulling the trigger and booking your stay at a resort, I recommend you consider what each has to offer and whether it appeals to you and fits into your budget.

Understand Your Needs and Expectations

The needs and expectations of one visitor may also be different from that of another. It’s important to note that things like customer service, for example, can be hit and miss at some locations. But you’ll find that this is common no matter where you go in the world. If you’re planning a wedding, your needs may also be different than if you’re just visiting for vacation. So keep that in mind as well.

Don’t worry, overall the complete package for whatever you do is pretty darn good. I can go out on a limb and guarantee that you’ll have a fun time.  The people here are very friendly and happy. That’s what Jamaicans are all about. Despite any challenges we may face in our everyday life you can be guaranteed a beautiful and warm smile.

So expect to relax while sipping a cold Red Stripe Beer (if you’re a drinker) and hum to some great Jamaican Reggae Music. You can also unwind or live it up and enjoy the island party nightlife.

On this website, you’ll find the best Jamaican Hotel Reviews based on my honest experience as well as (in some cases) the experiences of the experiences of others as well.

What To Look For in a Jamaica Hotel?

Some people just search for a place to rest their heads at night. For others, they come wanting to get the full Jamaican Experience.

That’s what the all-inclusive resort experience in Jamaica is all about. But do you know what to look for?

Most of the resorts on my list have a host of different features. Some may appeal to you while others you may not care for as much.

If you’d like clarification on any of this or have a particular need, then be sure to send me a message. I’m more than happy to help you in your decision by pointing out my top recommendations.

Here’s what people prefer:

• Good Price / Great Deal
• Excellent Customer Service
• Clean and Spacious Rooms
• Bathroom Amenities
• Healthy Dining Options (Buffets and Specialized Restaurants)
• Quality Entertainment
• Well Kept Grounds / Pools
• Quality Room Service
• Turn Down Service
• Amenities for Kids
• Good Security

There may be a few things I missed out, but that pretty much covers it. I’ve found that above all things a friendly and supportive staff goes a far away in helping people determine whether or not they would return to a particular location.

After all, if you encounter any challenges during your stay you pretty much want to know that you’ll be taken care of. It’s your vacation; you shouldn’t be stressing yourself out.

A good hotel understands all this and will always do their best to make sure that you’re happy and relaxed while staying with them.

Watch your Budget – Travel and Visiting Places

Let’s face it; not all vacations are created equally, and there are a few places that are significantly more expensive than others.

When deciding where to stay in Jamaica ask yourself whether you’re satisfied with a 3-star hotel or one that’s 4 or 5 stars.

Budgeting for Accommodation

Now, the 3-stars aren’t necessarily bad, but if you’re looking to get the ultimate luxury experience, then you should probably look towards a 5-star Jamaica Hotel.

You’re going to want to set aside enough money to cover a week’s stay. After all, if you’re coming here for a vacation then 2 or 3 days just isn’t sufficient. You may find yourself wanting to extend your stay even longer.

Budgeting for your Exploration

The island proudly boasts beautiful pristine beaches, naturally landscaped mountains, rainforests, rivers, and springs. It’s no surprise then that there’s a ton of attractions that you’ll want to visit.

Seeing as you’re most likely to be located within one of the tourist hot spots (Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, Negril or Port Antonio) then you’ll want to check out what those areas have to offer.

There’s horseback riding, zip lining, swimming with the dolphins, rafting and even historical trips which take you on a walk through our past.

You’ll probably end up abandoning your all-inclusive resort.

Setting aside a few extra bucks to enjoy all this is, therefore, a MUST. It might also be worthwhile calling a few of them ahead to find out what the prices for foreign residents are. Prices will be quoted in U.S. dollars, so you’ll know what to expect when you get here.

As for transportation, most (if not all) hotels are more than happy to help you secure a car or bus to take you to and from the activity of your choice.

If you need any assistance here, then drop me a message. I can help you with some suggestions. In fact, you can check out this page for a list of my things to do in jamaica.

So, When Should I Plan My Vacation?

This is perhaps one of the most frequently asked questions that I get from time to time. There’s no right answer – it all depends on you.

The summer periods are fantastic because you get to bask in the lovely sunshine. The warm temperature is comforting if you’re running from the harsh cold climate of the winter in some countries.

From around May to November you’re likely to benefit from lower rates and fewer tourists. These months are the off-peak periods for hotels on the island. There are of course exceptions.

The first two weeks of December are a bit slow as well but as you get to Mid-December going into January then occupancy significantly increases as people try to escape that bitterly cold weather.

So use this information as a guide before you secure your arrival date. The best jamaica all inclusive resorts can also have different offerings at certain points during the year. Be sure you check for any deals before you book.
