This was rated as a five star resort…it was closer to a three star. The resort was quite run down and needed a major renovation. The food was average lots of jerk chicken, jerk pork, jerk beef and jerk sausage…literally no sea food… not a great variety… the bread was great and fresh daily..no safe for three days, no hair dryer for the first three or four days. Had to call the front desk a number of times to get the room done up. Pillows were well past there best before date. Some of the staff could use a lesson on being friendly. I tipped everyone.. not big tips but aleast I left tips but some staff were pretty grumpy. The beach was very nice and the ocean was great Read less

The mattress was hard and difficult to sleep on. Bathroom had limited lighting only over the sink,no any soap dishes in the shower. Build-up of dirt in the bathroom. The drapes in the room were dirty and faded with holes. The food was gross.

Some final thoughts about our 3rd 10 day stay at RDMB. 1. We have nowhere near the stays as some who have been coming here for years, as such we respect your observations and opinions of changes and decline of the building over the years. Yes it needs a serious upgrade however regular maintenance and cleaning is being continued daily. 2. In our experience only during the last ten days it’s been amazing because the staff and onsite management made it so. 3. Amenities and cleanliness have been good, e.g. toiletries, towels, housekeeping, plumbing have certainly been up to expectations for a 3 star rated resort. 4. Food, drink and general atmosphere have been above expectations. 5. Finally to the on-site management & staff. These people are all 5 Star. Thank you for a wonderful vacation experience once again. Charmaine, Christina, Aldean, Daniel, Damien & J. J. Love you all. Rebooking for the end of March 2024. Read less
