The hotel

Occupying centre stage on the largest private beach in Ocho Rios, the Moon Palace Jamaica promises as many sensational sea views as classic Palace Resort touches which is why this is one of the hottest properties in the Caribbean. Consisting of 705 guest rooms, contained within two shimmering towers, you'll be totally spoiled for choice and with four restaurants and six bars to choose from, you certainly won't be left wanting when it comes to a warm welcome. World-class dining options and a tempting gourmet corridor provide a taste of things to come with the excellent Piano Bar offering a world of wine which has been expertly critiqued for your own deliberation. As most guest rooms have fabulous ocean views, fully stocked mini-bars and 24-hour room service, you may prefer to relax in private however, as Family Rooms come with two interconnecting doors you'll be advised to grab the moment while it lasts. Of course, that's not where the fun stops for kids as from their very own pool and FlowRider wave simulator to an organised club and wired teens' lounge, there's plenty of family options to keep your brood happy and active all day long. With four other swimming pools, excellent spa facilities and loads of daily activities, there's never a dull moment and with the stunning Dunn's River Falls just 15-minutes away, getting out and experiencing the very best of Jamaica doesn't get any better than this.

We had resort credits but didn’t use any so we if we return in a year we can still have those, which is great. Read less

We made our reservations in February of 2019 in preparation for a wedding we’d be attending in November. We reserved one of the nicer rooms with a balcony and double beds as it was my fiancé and I along with our 12 year old son (who is about my size). When we arrived we were told they were sorry to start my vacation off on a negative note but they unfortunately do not have any rooms with double beds, they only had a king size bed. How does this happen when you make reservations almost a year in advance? I was never given any explanation for how this happened. They expected the 3 of us to share a bed for a week. I remind you, my son is not a toddler, but rather the size of a small adult! Absolutely nothing was done to try to correct this issue, I was offered the option to upgrade my room for an additional $1800!! When I declined I was offered another room at an additional $1500! The end result was that they brought us a cot that had to be placed in front of the balcony I had paid extra to have!!! Most businesses would take a percentage off your bill, given a discounted upgrade or done something for service recovery. They offered nothing. The man who checked us in went and talked to his manager who apparently informed him we might be able to change rooms later in the week but it wasn’t likely. The manager never even bothered to come out and speak to us. After finally getting checked in we were shuffled over to another representative who tried to set us up for a breakfast the next day with a salesman so they could sell us a time share!! Like we wanted to buy into this place?! We finally get to our room and decided to get dinner.... we waited over an hour and a half for our food in a restaurant with about 5 tables filled. Again no apologies. I’m giving 2 stars rather than 1 because the rest of our interactions with staff were great, and there were lots of things to do. Outside of our first day, multiple calls trying to get us to meet with time share salesmen and our rooming situation, we had a good time, disappointing for the amount of money we spent though.

So pleased to receive a Birthday/Christmas gift from my daughter. She wanted me and my husband to experience a real relaxing vacation😍 Moon Palace was really a beautiful place with good amenities and beautiful service! The food in various restaurant in the resort was amazing! Wish I was able to try everything😎 The Jamaican breakfast buffet was sooo good! It was so good to have tried what were offered. The drinks was the thing I enjoyed the most!!! The SPA service was very good. It was sooo relaxing!!😍 The daily nightly entertainments they offered was also entertaining! So nice to learn the Jamaican history and culture. The place was so safe to walk around even at night time. Inside the palace the smell around was so good! Wish I was still there vacationing 😊. Our week vacation was highlighted by a “Romantic Dinner” of lobster and fillet minion❤️! Having dinner by the oceanside was really romantic and an experience of a lifetime❤️ I will really encourage anyone to visit Moon Palace. The reason why I rated this with 4 stars because I was so disappointed by the Resort Credits provided to us! Like using it in their gift shop, you could hardly use it. They provided a rack where you can use your credit but they raised the price by 300%😂! A dress with a tag of $59 US was tagged $200 US dollar plus 16% tax!!!! Forget about it! It was a rip off! But over all we all had great time with our vacation! Will do it again and Jamaica is just a great country ❤️ Read less
