Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort Reviews
" Location and facilities were awesome,... "
Submitted By: Miss S Keating
Location and facilities were awesome, sat on the best beach I have seen in a long time. The food was AWFUL, I mean the standard and variety of buffet meals was thrown together, both of us had bad tummies for the whole 2 weeks living on the fruit alone.
If chicken was on at lunch it would be re-used in the evening nothing is fresh. They also seem to just cater for the Americans they offer no English meals for UK travellers, so if your from the UK & like you food, this is not for you. Can only suggest if the place catered less for the Americans and more for the rest of us then this would be a much better place to stay!

" I loved Sunspree so much I cannot... "
Submitted By: Mrs K Wilson
I loved Sunspree so much I cannot wait to return. I have travelled allot and Jamaica has an atmosphere nowhere else has. The Sunspree offers allot for your money, once you have your all-inclusive band on you don’t pay for a thing, also you don’t have to sign for anything, which some all inclusives do, your kids can go get there own ice-cream, popcorn, ect.
<br>
I read reviews, and can’t believe some of the neg comments, really the hotel doesn’t deserve them. I think some people are just born complainers, and would find fault in anything.
<br>
I think hotel is a 4* with 5* staff who try and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Do not be afraid to go out and enjoy yourself, Jamaica is a beautiful island. The trips we done were amazing. Try the ys falls, the black river, rose hall ,were a guide will tell you the fascinating tale of the white witch.

" If you're a couple in your 20's to... "

If you're a couple in your 20's to 40's DO NOT stop at this hotel.

My wife and I have stayed in various rating hotels all over the world from Mauritius to Mexico so hope to give an unbiased view.
<br>
On arriving after a lengthy flight and check in we found there to be huge queues at reception with one unhappy girl seeing to all check in's. After 1 hour of queuing we got our key card to the room which was on the second floor of block 2.
<br>
On entering the room we found it quite big with a very large bed (queen size I believe). The room had a 28" TV with satellite channels, but couldn’t get most of the channels as the reception was bad. In general the room was clean. Firstly the aircon didn't work but was fixed very quickly by one of the staff when we reported it. The aircon box was mounted on the balcony which rendered the balcony useless as it pumped warm air and a damp smell around the two patio chairs provided. At night we found large ants in the bathroom then what looked like a nest in a secluded corner of the bathroom.
<br>
Towels and bedding were changed every day and room cleaned daily.
<br>
Meals were not very good. Breakfast is focused at Americans with loads of cakes and sweets. All main meals are chicken or goat.... curried goat..... bbq goat..... curried chicken..... etc etc. none of the food has covers so you have to brush the flies off when you help yourself. Lots of the serving bowls were cracked and in poor condition giving a bad impression.
<br>
All drinks are served in half pint plastic cups, whether it be beer or water in the day or night. Not enough staff so you can wait up to 15 mins to get served with a drink. ALL BAR STAFF are rude and unhappy, they point at you in the queue and say "YOU" or "NEXT IN LINE" not nice.
<br>
Evening entertainment is diabolical! no seating areas at all, you have to sit on sun loungers in your best clothes at night with your plastic glass of beer!
<br>
At night the grounds are hardly lit at all and appear very unwelcoming. Large rats can be seen scurrying across the hotels paths. Kids are allowed in the pools at night which too aren’t lit or supervised which we found out of order.
<br>
If you venture out the hotel to the nearby shopping centre YOU WILL be hounded by men selling drugs or prostitutes whether you're a couple or a family, these men front as selling beads. If you refuse they get very aggressive.
<br>
In general the only good thing about this place is the weather...... which you can get at any of the other hotels in Montego bay.
<br>
Be warned. My advice is to pay a little more and stay somewhere else!!!!! Lee x <br>

Flight staff wasn’t the nicest with My Travel. Airport arrival took a little while to get through immigration wasn’t to bad but very hot.
Transfers from the airport was good nice driver, short journey.
Hotel was really nice, clean rooms, friendly staff, evenings where a little quiet with not an alot of evening entertainment, was a few good nights with bbq's and that sort of thing.
Dunns River was excellent the boot trip we paid extra for too have a drink on the way back, this wasn’t worth the extra cash as the boot journey is about 15mins, however, u did get to swim by the reef on the way there.
The beaches at the hotel are man made which I didn’t like the sound of but was good, very shallow though.
Weather wasn’t bad went for a week and had 3-4 good days and the rest where really cloudy.
Hotel restaurants where good, liked the food at sea breeze and the Italian.
all drinks where free no matter what.
The snack bar had a few things on menu but really stunk as well as the night club on site.
Be very careful if venturing outside the complex this isn’t nice, felt scared at times to say the least.
There markets avoid you wont get out and you have to buy things.
All in all a good holiday I would go back.
