This property needed to be updated, the bathroom was dirty , it was dirty mattresses by my room door making it hard to get in and out. Parking sucked, there was two days when they didn’t have a chef . Pool wasn’t cleaned .

The one issue I cannot overlook is the unfriendly staff. In the hospitality industry, friendly staff is an absolute must. Some of the front desk staff was friendly but not all of them. Housekeeping staff rarely said hello or smiled even when I greeted them with good morning or good afternoon. The hotel site says they offer airport shuttle. Despite requesting airport pick-up via messaging and calling them the day before, when I arrived at the airport, I had to call the hotel again and I waited over 2.5 hours for the taxi to arrive. You have to pay cash directly to the driver, something I was not prepared to do. I had to ask him to take me to a bank to get cash from the ATM. The hotel is in a good location to be able to walk around main street Ocho Rios and get to restaurants and the craft markets. However, I do not recommend walking back down the side street to the hotel after dark, unless it is a Friday or Saturday night when all the shops and bars along the street are open and there is a lot of activity. Advertising they offer airport shuttle is misleading. Guests are better off either taking the Knutsford Express bus to Drax Hall and taking a taxi from there. If you take a taxi from the airport to Ocho Rios, be prepared to pay approximately $130 USD cash. Despite the misleading airport shuttle offer and the location, if the staff was friendlier, I would consider staying there again to support local business. Friendly staff is a must.

First time visitor to Ocho Rios. Facility is on the beach but access is thru a neighborhood which i would not walk thru at night if I were a woman. Building seems to be a converted condo now being run as a pseudo hotel, Building is somewhat old and going thru the midst of renovations so there is construction noise. Because it is an older building there are not enough electrical sockets in the room, nor is there sufficient lighting in the room. Breakfast Buffet is included but it is minimal - fruit, juice, cereal, milk, bread. Eggs, meats etc are extra. Hotel was OK for my first visit of 2 days, If I return I would stay elsewhere, further down the beach strip, further out of downtown.
