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 needed to escape the Ohio cold weather and we have been wanting to visit this Palace Resorts new property in Jamaica and so we chose the Moon Palace Jamaica. Wow!!!!! - did we make a great choice and the right one. The grounds on this property were excellently groomed. The room was absolutely spacious, with all the amenities and extremely clean. The view from the balcony was excellent. This property is absolutely gorgeous. The beach was my place of solace because it was clear water and beautiful. Also various water sports (kayaking, paddle boarding) that you can participate in. I discovered a Jamaican dish by the name of Jerk Chicken and I immediately fell in love with that dish. I was eating jerk chicken almost daily. The activities and shows were amazing and very entertaining. They have this giant screen in the Wired Lounge where you can play pacman and galaga - two of my favorite games when growing up. I spent a lot of time there too. We were treated so nice by Venise Wilson at the place where they make paninis. We felt so treated like family by Venise that we would only go to the panini place when she was there. Thank you Venise for showing us so much love and the paninis you made for us were outstanding. Keep doing what you are doing Venise and God bless you. I would totally recommend this property for family. They also had a few weddings while we were there. They have this amazing gazebo in a little peninsula at the hotel with the grounds so well groomed that it was so gorgeous. If you want to get married here it would be a memorable place to do it at. They have excellent pools, water slide, wave runner and miniature water playground (although for kids) that adults can also play in these. I would totally go back to the Moon Palace in Jamaica any day. You will not regret picking the Moon Palace Jamaica as your next vacation spot. This one is a total thumbs up!!!!!! Read less

Earlier in March a group of myself and 12 other people stayed at Moon Palace Jamaica. A couple in our group are Diamond Elite members, so many of us had been to other Moon palace resorts (Mexico)along with them, but this was my first time in Jamaica. While the COVID-19 outbreak placed a lot of stress and uncertainty on us, The resort did the best that they could to continue business as usual and give us the best experience possible. All parts of this resort were beautiful! From beaches, to the pool, to the AWE spa, to amazing dinners, this resort offers many high-class options to entertain guests. My favorite things to do were to enjoy the spa, lay by the pool, visit the piano bar, eat on-site made jerk chicken for lunch and go in the ocean. Nikki, the diamond pool attendant that was with us during our time made our experience so amazing! She was very considerate and efficient, she was always anticipating our needs before we asked and went above and beyond. Plus, our group enjoyed her personality. Andre, the bartender by the pool was extremely helpful as well at our time at this all-inclusive resort. We also took the time to attend scheduled fitness classes like water aerobics and yoga, led by Fitness Johnoy which were awesome! Being in Diamond Elite Status was a total game changer for this trip and elevated it from an average tropical vacation to a pampered experience. We had a lot of perks like being able to use the hydrotherapy experience daily, special Diamond only areas, wine selections, and we stayed in the very exttravagent 4 person villa that included a private pool and jacuzzi! We were shocked that even during spring break the resort was almost empty due to COVID-19, so having that Diamond status would have been helpful if the resort was more crowded too. Overall this was a great visit despite the weird circumstances that COVID-19 placed on it. Mood Palace does a great job at all of their resorts! Read less
