I stayed with 3 other family members at this hotel. Other than sunning oneself on the the beach there was nothing to do there. The advertised amenities were non-existent, indeed, the advertizing was false. The pool was filthy and unuseable. There were so many mosquitoes, you couldn't be out at night (where all meals were served) without being 'eaten alive'.... More

This is one hotel that has a personality in Jamaica, unlike those monoliths that skirt the edges of the sea on the road to it. It is a colonial style hotel, with only 94 rooms, on Cutlass Bay, a private beach. A small patio off the room with its huge bed, was a walkway width from the sand, and a... More

We stayed at Shaw Park from March 27th until April 3rd. This was our first vacation so I have nothing to compare it to really but this is my opinion (and I am not rich, did not have super high expectations and am an easy going Canadian). First impression was snotty front desk lady..got to the room...I thought it was... More

We read reviews of Shaw Park prior to booking but still came as it appeared this resort could be a quaint resort with a good beach. We met great people who were also travelling from Canada, they made this trip memorable and provided us with lots of great memories. We were not happy with the service or amenities at Shaw... More

First thing first...This resort is over 2 hours away from the airport. Before travelling to this resort we read many reviews and overall it sounded and looked like a half decent resort. Being seasoned travellers and spending a lot of time in Cuba, we did go in with an open mind, and lower expectations, and yet we were not prepared... More

First of all, we are a middle aged couple who went on this trip to relax and enjoy the sites. Although the resort is older and smaller than we have been to before, it is exactly what we were looking for. If you are looking to party all night long, this is NOT the place for you! If you want... More

I really enjoyed my stay at Shaw Park. I am a seasoned traveler, and have traveled all over the world. This was not my first trip to Jamaica. Shaw Park is a quaint, old world style hotel with very friendly staff. The bartenders are a riot! Shout out to Smiley and Derrick! The food was great...I had a freshly made... More

I read all of the reviews prior to coming to Shaw Park but still decided to book. I traveled with a friend and the only positive I have to say about this resort is the beach and water. We also met a great crew of travellers from across Canada, those two things made this stay bearable. The security is a... More

The good: We ( my husband and 2 children - 11 and 14 years) stayed at Shaw Park between March 15 -March 29 and enjoyed the quiet location. Our kids had the pool unto themselves almost everyday. The pool was well maintained. The beach area was clean and tidied each morning. There was always a variety of foods for supper.... More
