Moon Palace Jamaica

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Virgin rating

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 680 guest rooms, contained within two shimmering towers, you'll be totally spoiled for choice and with six 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. Of course, that's not where the fun stops and if you're travelling with kids, they'll be itching to get out of the room to their own pool, or grab a console in the 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.

I had a terrible time. Their air conditioning was not working. The ceiling had collapsed and they would not give me another room. The customer service was very rude and not accommodating. The food was not bad, but they asked for tips for just standing around I Would not book there again.

Loved the resort. Lots of great activities for the family. Beach volleyball was a family hit. Everyone was friendly. The person that stood out the most was Sefirah. She was very welcoming when we brought our daughter to play in the Kids Playroom.

Apr 15, 2024 Jason a Minneapolis, Minnesota

Spent a great week at Moon Palace Jamaica, we were a party of 10, and the staff inside and outside were great. The food and service were great, the pool staff did a great job getting us whatever we needed. The best beach area to swim in over any of the other Palace resorts.

Resort was ok, but it took several attempts to get anything taken care of. 4 of us in the room with 3 towels. 3 days of requests before we got another. Fridge was not restocked for 4 days. Room was missing robes. Went to the resort presentation and got held up for three hours, received resort credits for going and found we couldn't use them for ANYTHING which was a joke. Buffet was half empty most of the time. Got kicked off an EMPTY beach because we were wearing the wrong color wrist bands. Could never get a pool chair because they were "reserved" with towels early in the morning by people that never returned to them. Horrible customer service attitude when were leaving, including making us pay our own way back to the airport....I guess all inclusive ended immediately on the morning of the last day. Outrages excursion pricing, while private options were a 1/4 your price...should have been the other way around. We ALMOST purchased the membership, and are incredibly grateful we did NOT, after experiencing the attitude of the resort. Read less
