I came here to celebrate my best friend's, mom's birthday, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! The only downside was that I WANTED TO STAY LONGER. Seriously...I did not want to leave lol. From the time we checked in, until we left the service was superb. There we 4 people in my party and we had a 2 Bedroom Ocean View Butler Suite and it was SWEEEET!!! We had amazing service from our two butlers Ronald and Shanika, but Shanika was PHENOMENAL!!! When she was on duty it seemed like she was everywhere we were lol, she was always there and always ready. You needed a ride? Shanika was there. Missed a small detail in putting on your swimsuit? No worries, Shanika jumped into action and fixed it. Need dinner delivered for guests to your suite? Shanika made sure no detail was missed and everything was ordered perfect. I could write on, but she has amazing energy, was genuine, sincere, and very caring. In reading the reviews of the resort before going I was concerned about how the accommodations would look, and honestly, I did not have a complaint at all. Everything was overall impeccably clean, comfortable, and beautiful. The Spa was amazing, we booked a family massage and I promise you it was the best massage I have ever had. We all said so. The environment in the spa is peaceful and welcoming. Akeem provided out of this world guest service prior to our arrival in helping us book, and once we arrived at the spa I was very excited to meet him in person and THANK HIM for his work in making sure we were booked and being so amazing in general. Now....the beach...it was heaven. Private resort beach... water level was perfect for swimming, standing, floating, sitting...people were snorkeling. We booked cabanas for two days in a row and had a BLAST!!! Cerrano and Chantell were there for our every need, and they were FUN yall! Personable, engaged, there was not a moment that we were out of anything because they already had it waiting. When my drink ran low, they already had one waiting, without having to ask. They made sure we remembered lunch time and had our orders in. We had the pleasure of spending our last two days of vacation with them and it was truly a memorable time. The food at the resort was great! Many options, and my two favorite were Waves and Pierside. We had room service deliver breakfast to our suite every, single morning of the 5 we were there and it was always hot, beautifully plated, and delicious. Activities, there were amazing options. While we did not participate in many, because we packed our itinerary with excursions through Island Routes and then the beach cabanas, we did have friends that went and they really enjoyed them. People in general look like they enjoyed the activities. I wrote a lot and I still could write more lol. Simply put...BOOK IT. You won't regret it! I look forward to seeing my Jewel Grande Montego Bay family again soon! Read less

We enjoyed our stay, the food was very good. We ate at the Orchids buffett, Cricket grill and Jahmexi mostly. The events at the Sentry courtyard and food were amazing. The people are warm, patient and very helpful. Shout out to Kevin the workout instructor; you will sweat for sure after working out with Kevin! Shout out to Susan at the Criket grill, she has a warmth that makes you feel at home with a very quick service too. Shout out to Kimberly at Cricket grill, my daughter enjoyed chatting with her. Shout out to Stacey the house keeper, we enjoyed chatting with her and she is very good at making the place sparkle. Shout out to Silver ; the Jerk chicken grill maestro at the Sentry courtyard. He makes the best grilled Jerk chicken ever! And final shout out to Noel our tour guide. I will post a picture of him as i forgot the name of his tour coy! We felt safe going around town for three hours with him. He also has a deep knowledge of the city, economy, agriculture, sights and everything. It was a very safe and smooth ride with him. We will love to visit again, we loved the people of MBJ St James. Read less

Food -4.5 out of 5 Customer Service - 4.8 out of 5 Accommodations - 4.5 out of 5 Entertainment - 3.8 out of 5 Value - 4.3 out of 5 I will return & recommend that others visit. Overall one of the better resorts I’ve visited in Jamaica. Pleasant staff & guests , friendly , mature , good vibes. Family resort but not too many kids where there, the kids were pretty good, respectful & appropriately engaged w/ adults in the pool. Relatively clean , well maintained. Security was everywhere. The beach water is not as clear & clean as I would have liked but it was fine, it’s Jamaica ! Still beautiful . The food was very tasty , full of flavor salmon & steamed fish filet were my favorites. The oxtail very tasty , could have been cooked a little more tender but the taste was dead right! Day 1 rice & peas was not ready , day 3&4 rice & peas… shelly & nice ,so good . The different resturant menu options , great. This is a 1st time that I had an authentic cultural experience at a resort , it was not totally Americanized . I was VERY VERY happy about that . The do a good job of cultural mixing while representing their country . It’s just my preference , I like to party , lol, it is not a party vibe situation. It is not a “lit”type of situation at this resort. Lol. However, if you drink enough with good company , you will be lit. There are a few dances at night and Daytime entertainment is fine. Big shout out to the staff . They were not miserable or hard to engage . They were professional & pleasant, Something lacking in other resorts . 100% of the staff remarked they liked or even loved their job. Even if they were faking it, they did a good job faking it. Lol. I engaged with the GM too,he took great pride in the property & staff he was cool & nice. He was everywhere too! Big Up & Bless Up to the entertainment crew Rujan, Delando, & the young lady who’s name I don’t recall, O’Ryan who spinned some really good tunes. Romaine mixing the drinks , Keda keep the drinks coming poolside. Delando is a good all around entertainer , I’m hoping for bigger & better in his near future. Read less

We had the best time at this resort. The staff was extremely friendly and we had the most wonderful butlers..Aston and Denton. If you ever here please make sure you request these wonderful gentlemen. The food was delicious and great nightly entertainment. Highly recommend this resort.
