Hotels near Runaway Bay Beach

"I want to start off saying that the staff and food were excellent. ALL workers worked hard considering the circumstances. We didn’t realize this property was closed for renovations and reopening after the devastation of the hurricane. When we purchased the package, we were under the assumption that all advertised amenities were available and READY when we arrived. However, we quickly learned otherwise. There was quite a bit of damage done to the building and repairs were still being made. As a result, there were many amenities that were not available. For instance, only one pool and swim-up bar was open, one buffet was open, and three restaurants were available for nightly reservations, so lines were often long and/or reservations were unavailable. There was no working TV or phone in our room and no nightly entertainment to enjoy except ONE Friday night show that comes with an additional $25 charge per person. The spa facility was operating on one of the base levels in an area that guests used to stay and noisy because of the constant foot traffic. There was no “spa” facility to relax and enjoy aside from getting an ordinary message that was priced at their traditional rate. The bed linens and pillows smelled so musty and sour, I had to cover them with one of our t-shirts to mask the smell until we could get them changed. One steward came to our door wanting to clean our room at 10:30 one night. Facility wasn’t ready, don’t go until fully opened. "

"With the possible exception of some places in Italy, I have NEVER been to such a child-friendly environment. The staff were incredible and made us feel like home. It was like staying in a Jamaican uncle's house on the beach. We will definitely go back!"

"When we got off the plain it was an 1hr or so drive. The property was not noticeable once we were in the area we drove around another 45 minutes looking for the place when we finally arrived we could not enter someone finally let us in the property date where does the gated community then we waited another 3 hours to enter the property as the lady stated it was our fault no one was there for 3 hours once in the property it was not clean they had to send a cleaning crew the next morning all the blame was put on me I was in a foreign country getting off a plane the neighbors were very concerned of us standing outside for that long no food no water and happened to use the restroom but one scene and clean we had a minor flood from the rain no big deal not to me anyway maybe to someone else it was relaxing"
