Upon reading some of the reviews I have to wonder if I was at the same place. I cant call it a hotel as it was simply a place in the middle of nowhere with little civilsation. What a total letdown this place was. If you want to go to a run down camp site then this is for you - and believe me you would be better off sleeping in a tent. Its a hovel and i would rather sleep in my dog's kennel.

As you can see my friend whom I travelled with has put on some pics - the pics look somewhat better than the actual place. I still cannot accept that any reputable Travel agent (TC) can have this place on their books. We went at the start of summer, I cannot stress enough how empty the place was and there was nothing at all to do, no entertainment, no tv or radio in rooms or any rest area. I really dont even like to talk about it as it's too painful to have to think about it again.. The only saving grace is that I had my friend with me and our two 12 yr olds get on really well but had either of us been there alone it would have been a bigger major nightmare. We simply could not stay more than the one night. Subsequently we had to pay for 2 weeks at alternative accommodation - we were desperate to get away. (along with another mother and daughter who who's hut and yes I mean hut was blood boilingly Summerset Village taking the P! That was the final straw - I was enraged upon seeing the sate of the hut they were shoved in - unbelievable, and they paid more than me for the displeasure)

I would think that most decent living people pay to go on 'holiday' to stay in accommodation comfortable as you do at home or even better, I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy, as no one paying their hard worked for cash, should have to face such a disappointment. I am of Jamaican heritage and I felt isolated and vulnerable being there, nothing like home. It's the worst ever accommodation i have visited in 22yrs of booking holidays. I am very open minded and flexible... this was pushing me beyond being reasonable..

All I can say is SAVE YOUR MONEY - do not give these money grabbing liars a penny of your money, they are simply ripping us off and should come with a health and safety warning , better still demolished.. Really Awful place - Nightmare!! Dont go there..

We were really looking forward to our stay. When we arrived we were so shocked to see the shabby run down atmospher of not only the rooms but the grounds, the gates, everything. This place does not warrent a star rating!!!!

Our room had a leaking shower, broken bathroom light, broken aircon. Poor security, men loitering around on the streets pestering the guest. This I later found out was not how the real Jamaica is until we left after our first ght and stayed at St Annes District!! Men do chill with their freinds having a beer and a smoke and friendly hat, but on the road outside summerset this was a different type of loitering!! Not nice.

The flooring at Summerset was dangeous, concrete poured and not flattened, bad lighting so could easily fall and also did not make you feel safe.

I believe that if you are dissapointed with your stay, along as you feel safe and the place is clean then you use the room as a base. I did not feel safe, and as Im from London Im very use to various situations but here at Summerset something wasnt right. When we checked out after 1 night there was also 2 other couples also checking out after only one night!!!

The restuarant had no other guest apart from the 3 other parties we arrived with from the UK, we could not find any staff, there was no food to match was was offered on the menu as they had no tourists they didnt have the supplies.

When we were checking out, the receptionist said she wasnt surprised that we were leaving and she said she though our expectatins were too high, and I simply told here that wasnt the case, but we do have standards!!!, I have never in my adult life have I requested to leave a premises,).

Also how can 3 seperate parties leave after only 1 night, all be wrong. When you save up for 9 months for you big holiday of the year, of course we are extremely dissapointed!!!

Please do yourself a favour and dont come here, you will be dissapointed.

Take a look at the photos and see the state of this place.

p.s The other two guests that left at the same day, after only staying 1 night of a 14 night stay!!!, we check out their rooms and theirs was worse than ours, didnt think it was possible.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Summerset Village. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for something other than the “all inclusive” hotels. With it being in a neighborhood, I felt I was experiencing a little more of Jamaican life. Summerset is not located on the beach, but there are some wonderful beach locations nearby. The staff was real courteous and friendly, and with a security guard on duty at night I felt very safe and at ease. Breakfasts were included with the room charge; I especially enjoyed the French toast. Noel, the bartender, makes a fantastic Piña Colada. I sampled a few at other places and none compared to his drink.

Yes Jamaica's magic grips your heart for sure and I was so impressed with Summerset Village - its wonderful charming staff are there to greet you and make your stay exactly as you would wish. Its absolutely perfect for everyone and children are no exception - completely safe to play and swim in a clean filtered pool and lots of space amid wonderful tropical fruit trees. The kind, helpful and friendly service was very special - everyone loved it - and I am missing having my meals cooked for me so beautifully. Its such a wonderful location - where its possible to swim from the rocks in clean and tranquil surroundings and a short distance from breathtaking beaches - and Jamaica's hospitality - well I need to think up a few more adjactives to do it justice.
