Grandiosa Hotel

My significant other and I stayed at the resort from August 28 - Sept 8, 2003, (11 days). The resort it self provided modest room accomadations, which included air conditioning, hot water, cable television, and optional view of the garden or ocean. Also, rental car service was available at a moderate price.We loved the atmosphere and persons who provided exceptional service. The resort is about five minutes car ride from the beach, hip-strip and heart of the city. It is not advised that person's try to walk to town, unless they enjoy... more

Dump does not begin to describe this hotel. It is completely run down. There is no air condition in the common areas including the lobby, the bar and the dinning room. The rooms have air condition but they are on a timer and shut off constantly. The pool was so murky you couldn't even imagine where the bottom was, the Missippi River is clearer than the pool. The hotel is located in the mountains next too...mountains and nothing else. For what you spend in taxi fare your money is better spent on a more central hotel. It cost $14 to go into... more

I stayed 2 days in Mobay on my way to Portmore, Bull Bay, Kingston area. This was in 2000 I was there. If you are looking to stay on the beach well this is not the place. It is in the hills but only a few min from the strip area. Most of the Caribbean is full of mountains and winding roads so that is nonsense. The reason they did not mention they are not on the beach, it because they are not on the beach common sense. It does not cost $15 dollars to go around the corner its only a 5 min drive. You can walk but I would not recommend it,... more

Quiet and peaceful. Bare-bones yes, but I felt safe and comfortable. If you're looking for in house excitment, it's not for you.

The hotel was a run down shanty. It was so far from the town. If you wanted to go into town however you had to risk your life because the roads were so windy and the cab drivers were horrible, it was down right dangerous!!! By the way, they don't mention they are not on the beach or anywhere near it. It takes 15 dollars each time you go down to the beach---why go to jamaica and stay in the hills. Swimming in their small pool was not an option either, I think they cleaned it a total of once while we were their. Byer be ware. Don't go, I... more

I stayed at the Grandiosa a few years back during a college spring break trip. The Grandiosa was a great choice. It was quiet and has only 40 or so rooms, so it was not overwhelming and filled with lots of students. The hotel is very spacious and is very pretty -- on a rooftop with a gated entrance. There are great views and the rooms were really nice. Some are clustered together, others are more secluded. My room was in its own wing, basically and the hotel is very pretty. Marble halls, spacious common areas, lots of plants and many open... more
