Hotels in River Oaks, Ocho Rios

"The beach was horrible. It was like a swamp. The second property was not in use. The food was not great. The staff was wonderful and the property was clean. The nightlife sucked."

"My room was very outdated. When I first arrived the room smelled like mold. I let the front desk know and they sent someone to spray the walls with a solution. The rest of my stay I asked repeatedly to change rooms because I was uncomfortable with the smell. Each time my request wouldn’t be honored because the hotel was “fully booked”. I will never stay at a riu again. The only problem was the housekeeper. She was EXCELLENT and so kind to me."

"The breakfast and service from all staff was very exceptional! We hope to make another trip and we hope to make The Cardiff Hotel & Spa our home away from home again!"

"was AMAZING!!"

"The beach is beautiful and the property is nice but not like Moon Palace Cancun. The staff is wonderful - Shemar at Jerk Hut, Shane and Whitney the lifeguards, Shavon and Tameka the beach waitresses. I would not go back for one reason. Over the weekend, many people who lived locally stayed at the resort and etiquette went out the window. People were cutting lines at the buffet, taking multiple plates full of food, not leaving for others. It was a fight for food. Tourist pay too much money to have to deal with this type of experience."

"The food was exceptional along with 95% of the staff. Beautiful place with many options. Loved the water sports availability and service included"

"Jamaica Inn is an excellent beachfront property. It is in Ocho Rios about 2 hours’ drive from the Montego Bay airport. Our room was nice, clean and comfortable. It had a wonderful balcony facing the Ocean. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The beach was sandy and pristine. We had a wonderful time on the beach. We had a problem with hot water in the shower of our room. We waited and waited with the shower running but no hot water. Sometimes the hot water would start and in the middle of the shower it would turn cold. After complaining for 3 days in a row the problem was fixed. We had Booked the room through Expedia with breakfast included; however, the breakfast menu did not specify what part of the menu is included in our breakfast plan and what part is not included. So often we ended up paying upwards of $ 40/- for breakfast. The restaurants for breakfast, lunch and Dinners were out in the open air with a decent menu. The food was very good, ambience was excellent and the live musicians were fabulous. During our stay, we found out that various celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Sir Winston Churchill, Ian Flemming etc. have stayed at Jamaica Inn. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and we would most certainly return."

"The lady at the front deck was very helpful. I went there a bit early room that I book wasn’t ready she gave me another room check me in advise me to make some ginger tea she was very helpful "

"The view was the highlight. However the road leading to property is deplorable "
