Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the resort. The rooms were cozy and had a nice view of the lagoon, plus we got a discount due to some ongoing construction. The food was exceptional, and the room was just perfect for us.
The hotel is a fantastic place set along the lagoon and the beach, offering newer units and kayak facilities, but may lose some charm at night. The service is exceptional, with warm and attentive staff like Fiona going the extra mile. The location provides privacy and a sense of community, directly on the lagoon with a bay perfect for swimming. The dining options are somewhat limited, but the beach hut breakfast experience is enjoyable.
I had a wonderful stay at the Goldeneye Resort in Jamaica. The rooms were large, attractive, and surrounded by beautiful gardens and a bamboo fence, providing a serene atmosphere. The service was predominantly excellent, with a mix of outstanding and disinterested staff. The location was stunning, hidden in a peaceful corner of Jamaica with access to sandy beaches. The dining experience offered fantastic views and traditional Jamaican dishes. The facilities were well-equipped to enhance my stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this resort. The food was amazing, and the room we stayed in was just perfect. The construction didn't bother us at all, and everything looked impeccable. However, the service felt a bit abrupt at times. Overall, a wonderful experience with some minor hiccups.
The Spanish Elm room could be the way to go when we need more space, as it offers big, clean, and comfortable accommodation. The hotel staff, including the manager, were kind and helpful, arranging some fun surprises for my husband's 40th birthday with a delicious cake and a bottle of sparkling wine. The location is beautiful, providing a unique island feel with spacious and natural surroundings. The dining options were varied, with the Gazebo dinner restaurant standing out for its quality food and stunning sea views.
