We attended a family wedding and truly met the groom's family and the couples friends in quite a unique way.We intermingled ... with them all for six days which is not available in our traditional wedding set ups which allowed for MUCH fun!The wait staff we encountered were beyond pleasant and very welcoming.The management Mr. Hamilton and Ms. Duncanson were extremely pleasant. At our advanced age we appreciated the choices available to us. Your agents at this resort, [...], were wonderful and accomodating. They called us by name each time they saw us making our stay even better. They set up reservations for dining and tours for us with our interests in mind.Please note: when I (Mrs.) had a bizarre encouter with an malfunctioning elevator there was a nurse and a doctor and the young lady who was manager that night available in our room almost immediately . Although there was a charge for the Dr. and meds the resort refunded my husband's account.We were more than pleased with our stay. The only regret is I lost one of my eurowellness "shoes" down the elevator shaft...which I will get over.

Pat Oct 24, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

this was our first trip to Jamaica and to an all inclusive. I don't believe we could have chosen a better location. The ... staff all treated us royally, so polite and attentive. The room was perfect, location right on the beach. Plenty of food and a great variety. Staff member sat down with us upon our arrival and spent close to an hour explaining how things worked and answering all our questions. If we ever have a chance to go back, I wouldn't hesitate a bit. Reading all the reviews before we went had me concerned about rude staff, uncomfortable beds, shortage of towels, quality of food. I think some people are just born to complain; there were 3 couples in our family group, and we were all very satisfied.

Fantastic value and location

Sly Oct 18, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The staff were very friendly and polite. The food selection was great and if you didn't particularly like what was on the ... speciality restaurant menu or buffet, the grill always had cheeseburgers, jerk chicken, or hot dogs to satisify your appetite. The pools were nice and quiet--very fun water slide. The drinks were anything but watered down. Private beaches prevented vendors from hasseling you. Don't expect long walks along the beach (like in the states). However, the "bays" allow a nice warm swim or snorkling pleasure. The water is sooo blue and teal colored---breathtaking. This location also allows you to be close to the airport without the disturbence of the planes coming in or taking off. This resort is not a 5 star Hilton, however, it is clean--no bugs--wonderful staff--wonderful food--beautiful view---overall great value!!!

Would recommend to a friend!

We had a great time at Sunset. The pools, especially the water park were big hits with the kids and adults! Our room was ... clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and there were enough activities to keep everyone happy. While the food at the main restaurant was not spectacular, it was good enough and had many choices to please even the most finicky eater. Our family travels a lot to the caribbean, and while this resort was not the most luxurious that we have been to, it was clean, convenient, and had much to offer. We would stay here again.

I would suggest getting off of the resort at least once for dinner in Montego Bay. We took a taxi (10 minutes) to eat at a local restaurant, MoBay Proper and had a great meal and listened to music while sitting on the patio. The restaurant caters to locals, so the food and experiece is authentic if you get tired of the hotel scene. Three of us ate and drank for under $40!

Jamaica in September

Zephyr Sep 23, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

I enjoyed my recent visit to Sunset Beach Resort in Montego Bay. The trip was exactly what I needed and wanted when it came ... to relaxing and simply enjoying the beach (minus the few jellyfish). The hotel provides nightly entertainment which I thouhgt was great. One thing to remember is that if you are going to Jamaica in September, know that its the low season so the hotel will not be very packed...I found this to be a plus but hey, others might be disappointed. Overall, I had a blast and the staff was very nice. Also, if you stay at this hotel you really should make sure you go to the spa because it is absolutely wonderfull. After being out in the sun, a salt glo rub will help to exfoliate your skin followed by a massage...it is so worth it! Finally, you will seriously need to remind the bartenders to add more alcohol to your drink...I'm just saying.

Something For Everyone

Travelin' Solo Sep 7, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

Location: Loved the hotel location. Sunset Beach Resort in Montego Bay is approx. 15 minutes from the airport and sits on its ... own peninsula and not in the noisy flight path as some of other hotels in MoBay area. Singles: There are many singles traveling w/ children and families at this resort. Since this was my first vacation as a single woman, I was concerned if this was the right place for me to stay. But I met many great people everyday on the beach and at the bar and I was never alone unless I chose to be. Value: The all-inclusive option is the best way to vacation as I did not have to spend any extra money. I found the staff friendly and accomodating to all the guests. The staff do not expect any tips although I wanted to tip and did so on several occasions for excellent service. Food/ Meals: Were tasty and plentiful. Lots of fresh fish and local fruits and vegetables at the buffet. In between buffet hours, beach bar was open and the choices were very limited there. Hotel Maintenance: I saw some imperfections in my room such as a missing slat from shudders on a closet door. Also, a handle from the bathroom knob was missing. These things did not affect my comfort but were noticed. No defecits in maintenance noticed on the property. Hotel was well maintained and freshly painted throughout all public spaces. I would definetly return. Had a wonderful, activity and fun filled trip.

The good the bad & the ugly !!!

We've been to this resort 3x's before this trip and this was the not-so-great one. We had to wait nearly an hour for our ... "bayside view" room to become available. I only drank one type of drink for the entire 6 days (Bahama Mama) and each drink was made totally different each time. My wife's drink called a (Hummingbird) reguires a banana and EVERY day at least one of the bars would say that they were out of bananas..How is that possible? The beaches are full of rocks, some so large I scraped the bottom of my foot on one. There was glass, yes, GLASS all along the beaches, I personally picked up numerous broken pieces in the sand and this is a resort with MANY children on the beach. The nude beach is barely monitored, you can show up fully clothed and mingle with the nude people until the lazy guard who sits in a chair at the beach bar of all places, decides to come and enforce the rules which are clearly posted. And this beach (nude) is NEVER maintained. There was a dinner plate that sat on the sand for all 6days were there. Bottom line, watch your step, bring extra trash bags to clean the beach and if you want a fruity drink, bring your own fruit !!!

You must get a massage. It was my first time getting a massage and it was awesome. We had a couples massage on the beach at sunset.

I would suggest getting off of the resort at least once for dinner in Montego Bay. We took a taxi (10 minutes) to eat at a local restaurant, MoBay Proper and had a great meal and listened to music while sitting on the patio. The restaurant caters to locals, so the food and experiece is authentic if you get tired of the hotel scene. Three of us ate and drank for under $40!

any travel from the hotel seemed to be very expensive.I brought my 3 kids and one other kid and another friend for a total of six people and even a trip into town cost $50 or $60 bucks each time. Way overpriced!

Take the shuttle to Margeritaville, here you will have lots of fun. In the day there are lots of activies and at night there is lots of partying.

--Archdeelux, New York NY Aug 12, 2009

Recreation/Attractions hint

Make sure you make plan and arrangements a day trip to Negril. [...] was our host, tour guide and driver, he can be reached at [...]. On this trip you will enjoy the local scenery, craft market, and a chance to meet the local who are very friendly. There are also some great off the beaten track restaurants e.g. Sweet Spice that serve great meals at fairly reasonable price...much better than the popular restaurants.

--Beau Byron, Hanover, PA Aug 10, 2009

Recreation/Attractions hint

If you are steady on your feet, go to Dunn's River Falls. It was a little scary climbing the rocks with water gushing down, but it was a lot of fun and people are there to help you if you need it. Again everyone was very friendly.
