Smoking policy in Jamaica Indoor places: Enclosed public spaces, workplaces, and government-owned buildings Outdoor places: Beaches, outdoor markets, parks, and outdoor dining areas Public transportation: Public conveyances, bus stops, and transportation waiting areas Other places: Health facilities, educational institutions, and areas for children The hotel and the staff cannot be faulted, but it is guests who exhibit selfish attitudes which contravene rules and affect the pleasure of the majority. "The law was implemented in 2013 to protect non-smokers, children, and workers. It aligns with international obligations under the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)" But some care little for rules and regulations..... First offence carries a penalty of $10000 - I hope those pictured were suitably fined.... Read less

Quite a long transfer from the airport but it was worth it! Lovely hotel with lots to do. Quite a hilly complex but we embraced this as exercise :-) Lovely beach area with plenty of water activities. Food was good. Quite a few little areas to have sundowners. A really enjoyable holiday.

Everyone on the resort, with staff and guests were so kind. The resort is absolutely gorgeous. I liked how the beach wasn't too deep. There were so many activities to do such as line dancing, painting, volleyball, watersports, and a wine tasting. We enjoyed all the foods we tried. There were a lot of stairs and so much wildlife!

Been there many times. Quality always there. The food and the beaches are important to us. My wife always looks forward to her massage with Ruth. Reading on the beach and sitting in the water is a good way for us to spend time after our morning walk.

Thanks to Natasha and Jackie for the excellent massages in the picturesque Cliff side spa huts. Carole’s breakfast specials were a treat to look forward to every morning. All of the meals were excellent, I can’t pick a favourite! Read less
