My room had an ocean view and was clean, well appointed, and aesthetically relaxing. The staff could not have been friendlier and more generous with their time and resources to make sure I had the exact experience I wanted. I love that this is a Jamaican-owned resort, and the property was in amazing shape. It is a beautiful location. I got a wonderful massage at the spa, which was a lovely and extensive space. The weekends are more activity-heavy (live music or karaoke at night, jazz brunch on Sunday), and the weekdays were quiet and chill. Overall a 10/10 experience and I will definitely go back when I return to Jamaica!

Tiamo is as the name describes - this place will make you fall in love over and over again. Tiamo is reminiscent of old Jamaican charm with a fresh approach. Once you check in you never want to leave. This private resort can do everything from private parties to weddings. I love the intimacy of this resort and the spa is fantastic. I need to give a shout out to Melanie who gave a 10 out 10 massage. I can’t wait to come back to Tiamo

This has the potential to be five star rated but unfortunately during my very short stay there was construction happening and i dont feel i was able to experience/enjoy all the amenities. Also, there were only had a handful (literally) of guest, including myself, which made it somewhat of a weird feeling - if you go with a group this would be most excellent for y'all. All the staff were friendly and extremely accommodating and the food that we ordered (escovich fish, jerk chicken, Jamaican breakfast) were all excellent. We also had a little live entertainment which was nice. I honestly wouldn't mind returning after all the reconstruction is complete and see how it all turns out.

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the warmest, most attentive staff who truly made me feel like family. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every meal was freshly prepared, and bursting with flavor. What truly sets this resort apart is its peaceful, intimate ambiance only about 40 rooms, if my memory serves me right. It’s the perfect escape for anyone seeking quiet relaxation, away from the noise and crowd. The setting feels private and personal, making it easy to unwind and fully disconnect. Tiamo Resort is truly a home away from home. If you’re looking for a charming, private getaway with exceptional service and incredible food, this is the place to be. Can hardly wait to plan my next trip. See you soon Tiamo!!!!!

My stay at Tiamo Beach Resort & Spa was nothing short of SPECTACULAR! The staff are so attentive to your every need, and they go above and beyond to make sure you have fun and get the most out of your stay. The entertainment was incredibly fun! They have Karaoke, different live performances from so many talented artists, snorkeling, and so much more. The food tasted so good and was packed with delicious, authentic Caribbean flavors. The room we stayed in was absolutely stunning and the artwork is breathtaking! The beautiful and vibrant colors definitely made my island dream come to life. They also have a beautiful spa where I received one of the BEST massages I ever had. I appreciated that they catered my spa experience to what I like and enjoy! If you are looking for a place to unwind and relax, but also have fun and get a real taste of Jamaica, I 100% recommend Tiamo!!

Tiamo is truly my happy place. Whether I’m visiting solo for some quiet time or arriving with a group ready to celebrate, every stay turns into something special. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed like a star, the red carpet greeting and genuinely warm staff set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Walking into the foyer, you’re immediately embraced by a refreshing breeze and breathtaking views that never get old. It’s the kind of welcome that instantly melts away stress and reminds you that you’re somewhere truly special. What I love most is the flexibility, whether I’m in the mood for deep relaxation or a more upbeat, lively vibe, Tiamo offers both effortlessly. As a travel professional, I can confidently say this is a place I’d happily recommend to my clients, knowing they’ll be cared for every step of the way. The location is also ideal for those who want to explore, and if you don’t drive, transportation can easily be arranged, making everything seamless and stress-free. And I can’t forget Marney, the resident doggy princess who adds such a sweet and charming touch to the experience. Watching her stroll around the property always brings a smile to my face. Tiamo truly lives up to its name, you can feel the love in every detail. It’s more than just a stay; it’s an experience you’ll carry with you long after you leave.

Owner Ms Annika Manager Ms Natalie A 24hr water failure and appalling management made this my worst travel experience. 5/22 Lukewarm water & low pressure. 5/23 Water shut off mid-shower late night. 5/24 No water all day. Used bottled water for hygiene at 8am. Asked Ms Annika who claimed a main break & tank was being filled. When returned 8:30pm still no water. I discreetly tried to speak to Ms. Natalie, who relayed message through server to say a plumber was working on it. My driver helped me source two gallons of water. When I returned the security checked on the status with the plumber who informed he was fixing a crack. Late night a trickle returned, but the toilet wouldn't flush; I manually bucket-flushed it using the wet bar sink and garbage pail. 5/25 Asked Ms. Natalie to tell the owner my concern about the no water and that I believed some type of compensation would be due and I would like to discuss it before my departure time at 10am. 5/26 Low pressure fed only half the showerhead. Management dodged me until security called Ms. Annika at 9:50 AM. She arrived at 9:58 AM—two minutes before my shuttle pickup. Ms Annika lied repeatedly, claiming no outage happened and that we never spoke Sunday. Ms Natalie stayed muted, intimidated by her boss. I proposed a fair compromise: give back cash deposit & room charges, which was less than 1/2 night be comped, eventho customary for 1 full night’s refund. She refused, used the cash to settle the bill. No compensation offered
