This is not a budget hotel if you are from Europe, maybe it is if you are from the USA because of the distance but not for me.
So maybe i expected to much who knows.
I stayed with my sister for 3 weeks at this hotel and i did not like it at all. The food was awfull. Pubic hair on the hamburgers, the same food each and every day. I found the service horrible.
Never been served so badly. The manager tried to do his best. Thank god for Orrit and Michael who made our stay at the beach a big pleasure. The sunsets where beautifull. Take a boat trip to the small Island and eat fresh lobster, take a trip to mayfield river!
Have lunch at Alfreds and go and eat at Kuyaba next door.
As a European whe are not used to the fact that you can not be topless on the beach because of the conservative Americans. Whom, may i say, were very loud and drink and smoke weed as if their lives depend on it ...but topless.... NO WAY. I find this unbelievable.
But than again i am just a stupid European. Maybe i stayed to long at this place but i think it gave me a good idea. So if you go there go for a short time follow my tips and pease give my greetings to the guys on the beach.

We were the first 2 weeks of february al Legends.
With our kids (4 and 1) It's a very nice hotel, friendly staff. Good food and drinks. Very nice beach.
A great hotel!

This is the place for the budget-minded traveler who prefers the company of Europeans to Americans. There was a nice mix of ages, and no one was loud or obnoxious. We stayed on the beach side in a second floor room. The rooms were spartan, but pristine, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The balcony overlooked a jungle-like canopy of flowers and trees; quiet and peaceful.

The towel situation alluded to by the other reviewers was not an issue for us (a $5 tip on the first day to the maid with a request for lots of towels did the trick). The food is fresh, plentiful, and traditional Jamaican fare. The staff was friendly and attentive, particularly Oritt and Michael (beach staff). I really don't want to rave too much about the place, because I'd hate to have it spoiled with lots of visitors! Much better to keep it a secret.

I just returned from a 5-night stay at the resort. Overall, I got what I expected to get for what I paid.

The room was very basic, which works well if you intend to not spend much time in the room, which was fortunately the case for me. It did have a view of the beach, with a balcony, which was nice.

I had an all-inclusive package and intended to drink a good bit there but Red Stripe was not an included item at the resort, although the deal clearly stated that domestic drinks would be. How Red Stripe could not be included is a mystery, and that was definitely a disappointment, and I rarely drank at the resort's bar as a result. This worked well though, because there are plenty of small bars on the beach that are within easy walking distance of Legends where you could get ice-cold Red Stripe for cheap, and I got to see more of the area because of that. Irie's beach bar (about a 15 minute walk north on the beach) and Ali's (about 3-5 minutes south) were both very pleasant.

The food was basic too, but tasty and hearty. I thought of it as adequate fuel in between visits to the beach.

The location was great. I watched live music at either Alfred's or Bourbon the last 4 nights of the stay, and went to the Jungle on the first night, and all three places were within easy walking distance of Legends.

While I've used the word "basic" a few times, there was nothing basic about the staff. I found them to be very polite and helpful, and I could tell they really wanted me to enjoy my stay. Mike, who was the main security guy on the beach, and Nakisha, my waitress, were particularly awesome. Mike kept away the overbearing peddlers on the beach (very important, as you will find), and knew where to direct you for off-resort activities.

I'd whole-heartedly recommend this resort to a budget-minded vacationer who is looking for basic accomodations and is just hoping to relax for a few days on or around the beach, and make a cultural experience out of it. If you are looking for all-inclusive luxury, Legends is not your choice.
