Currently spending 2 weeks at JA beach resort. Although I would say the hotel is slightly dated the service from the staff more than makes up for it. The Italian restaurant Sette is fabulous. 5 star.

Currently spending 2 weeks at JA beach resort. Although I would say the hotel is slightly dated the service from the staff more than makes up for it. The Italian restaurant Sette is fabulous. 5 star. Ripublik is also great. Shame that white orchid and kintara are not part of the all inclusive so we didn't try it. Would have been nice for espresso martini's to have been included in Sette as part of the all inclusive. Special mention to Dalim our housekeeper who every day left amazing animal creations with the towels and bed patterns. Our kids couldn't wait to get back and see the different suprises each day! It was really a great touch with a memember of staff who went out of their way each day for us. I hope you get special recognition Dalim! Read less

It was, after 2019 the second time that we stayed in JA Beach Hotel. Overall said it had a nice stay. With the third new hotel you have more guests at the beach and in the restaurants and bars. The only thing we complain is, that children are allowed everywhere. And averywhere there is lots of noice. There is only one small area for adults only at the pool of the Garden view hotel. We think that there should be times in the restaurants for families with cildren an times for couples, or even better areas where cildren are not allowed. If we pay lots of money in your restaurants we have the right to enjoy our time during a nice dinner or a relaxed stay in one your bars. But this was not possible due to crying cildren who took your restaurants, bars etc. as a playing cround. Took to you service people who do a brilliant job. Our stay this year was not relaxed as the one we had in 2019. Read less

Awful and Rude Tennis Coach - Davide Giusti Confrontational, Ignorant and Rude tennis coach who thinks he runs the place. He casually plays music out loud and when asked to turn off he becomes aggressive. He believes that he has the right to use all the courts regardless of it being booked by other members and when challenged he becomes confrontational, aggressive, verbally abusive and disrespectful. Embarrassing that he is employed by JA resort. Read less
