Compound was very clean and grounds were beautiful The weak points variety of food same all week (buffay) some staff are not very nice or just not very helpful.everybody moves on Jamaican time, very slow, no rush.

“Grand Disappointment”

This hotel falls short of it's supposed 5 star rating. When I arrived at the hotel after a long gruelling journey I was told my room was not ready. No apology or regret was expressed. The lobby is not air conditioned, so in no time sweat was dripping down my back. While waiting over an hour for my room I was pursued by the hotel "Privilege" staff trying to get me to sign up for a tour of the hotel & promising gifts at the end (I later found out this is where a sales team pressures you to sign up for their travel club). They asked me personal questions such as my age, and I found out it's because if you're above 35 they get an added bonus for signing you up. When I first arrived in my room, I noticed there were NO hand towels, NO wash cloths and NO soap provided. I've been to motels better stocked than this. The bed sheet and pillow cases also had stains on them. The service was quite appalling. It took forever to get these basic items to my room. Even the managers/supervisors will tell you they are looking into your request/concern - but they all lie! I was told by a manager when I went to complain about a number of things (like staff entering my room even though I had the do not disturb sign up) that since it's low season certain details aren't attended to. Oh - so I guess since I'm travelling during low season my money isn't as good & I'm not as valued as a guest travelling during high season. Even after complaining about staff entering my room when I had the sign up, someone entered again. One morning while waiting for housekeeping to bring me an umbrella that should have been stocked in my room, I ended up missing breakfast because after 1.5 hours housekeeping never came. The supervisor's response to me was to go buy my breakfast at one of the local shops (even though I had paid for an all-inclusive trip). At one point staff had slid a letter under my door alerting me to the fact that there was "no voucher for me on file." I was made to feel like a common thief being evicted from their apartment. I went to the front desk and inquired what the voucher was (I booked this trip online & wasn't told I needed a voucher). Luckily at home I had printed the voucher they sought & promptly gave it to them. I will never go to this hotel again and I've been telling everyone I met after my trip never to come here either. if I can help spare at least one person from the trauma I experienced I will do so.

The strong points located in Jamaica The weak points Customer service is dreadful. They show they really don't care whether or not your are a satisfied customer.

“5 Star resorts not what they used to be”

Overall, we had a good vacation but the beverage service at the buffet was very slow. There was no bar service at the evening shows. Lobby internet was painfully slow or non-existant. Housekeeping was also lacking for a 5 Star resort.

The strong points Service and food quality was excellent at the a la carte restaurants and at the beach snack bar. The pool deck was very spacious--one of the best of all the resorts that I have been to. The weak points Housekeeping was not what I expect of a 5 Star resort. It was late in the afternoon, not at all or we were without clean towels until late in the evening.

“Good value for the dollar”

Transfers from airport to hotel and back to airport were easy and on time

The strong points Good choice of a la carte restaurants The weak points $15 per day to rent a wheelchair was a bit overpriced

“Grand Bahia principe”

The food at the buffet was not good. The hotel was not clean(I got very sick). Staff were okay. We had one dinner at the Italian restaurant, it was terrible. However, we had dinner on the beach and that was great, a lot of care put into making the meal nice for us. It's my opinion that this hotel is for people who are young and like to party or those who are middle aged who like to drink themselves to sleep or do drugs. If you are getting away just to relax in peace then this is not the place for you. Like I said this is just my opinion.

The strong points Nice shopping, our housekeeper(Janet) was very nice. The weak points Gravel on beach, broken lounge chairs, food at buffet not good, hotel needs to be cleaned better(disinfected),

The strong points Beaches, assortment of food, towel service The weak points A few things needed updating such as the lock on the balcony (didn't work), shower door didn't close (but I didn't ask to get them fixed)

“Runaway Bay”

Overall very good in comparison with other resorts of the same rating. Rooms were very clean, no problems with food, quality or amount of choice. Man made beach was OK. Not great, very gritty with no soft sand. Water sports equipment needs upgrading. Staff very helpful.

The strong points Food Quality, Clean Rooms The weak points Water sports equipment. Avoid Air Transat Rep
