“What a Bargain! Stay here!”

What a bargain! We spent a fun long weekend at Caribbean Sunset Resort. The word “Resort” is a little optimistic in this instance though. The grounds and buildings are nicely laid out, and are very pleasant.

Our room was clean, though not particularly large. We had a big balcony which would have been fabulous if there had been a chair. Very strange that we had no windows. Where there should have been a double glass door we had louvers. So either you had a dark room with the louvers closed, or fresh air with them open. Mosquitoes weren’t a problem, and we traveled all the way here for the warmth, so we left them open mostly and didn’t use the a/c. It was never uncomfortable. About half the buildings had glass instead of louvers.

The spacious open-air restaurant was very pleasant and overlooked the bar and well tended pool area. Our dinner was reasonably priced, and the food exceeded our expectations, though the service was just as slow as every other place in town. Strangely they don’t accept credit cards. We didn’t have enough cash on hand so they billed it to our room. They don’t take credit cards at the front desk either, so at check-out we still had to pay our restaurant tab with cash. Weird.

An empty closet served as the computer room. Their computer and the accompanying Wi-Fi were available 24/7 for free; an unexpected treat.

The hotel is not new, and it shows. There is a certain weathered look to much of it, though the restaurant, bar, pool area is fresh. The basketball/tennis court is abandoned and overgrown with weeds. The exercise room is nothing more than two treadmills in a spare closet. The rec. room is two pool tables in a small defunct bar.

The hotel is a half block up the hill from the apparent city square, another block to the “roundabout”, and one more block to the beach. This is the middle of everything! Scotia Bank ATM offering both JA and US dollars, a grocer, the taxi lot (always a ride available here), T shirt shops, night clubs, cafés, even a Burger King serving genuine Blue Mountain coffee, all within a 5 min walk.

What would have made our stay better: Chairs on the balcony. More than one washcloth per room per day. Pool/beach towels. Windows with screens. Shampoo. Quiet ceiling fans. Phones in the rooms (so you can call the front desk) Credit card acceptance. Softer beds.

This is not a top tier hotel, and is priced accordingly.

Stay here and relax! We did!

A couple of friends and I were book to stay @ the Sunset Resort in Montego Bay. Upon arrival/check-in we were disturbed by the inconvenience of no elevator, being placed on the 6th floor on the B side (bad choice), construction noise 24/7, non-working AC, broken TV, broken door handle always needed the assistance of the bell-hop to let you in. Arrived late for the Jazz festival due to the many inconveniences. Do not stay on the B side if you want to keep your sanity and enjoy your vacation.

My two friends and I were expecting a really bare-bones place because of the price and the reviews we'd read, but we were pleasantly surprised on every front. The room itself was adequate--certainly not upscale or particularly homey, but very spacious and pleasantly simple. The grounds were beautiful! Flowers and vegetation everywhere, and the views were wonderful. The front desk staff, while not excessively warm, were perfectly accomodating and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised at the free Internet and juice. The place was kind of deserted, but it didn't really bother us. We spent a bit of time by the very nice pool, had a couple of drinks at the pool bar, and ate a few breakfasts at the restaurant--the food was great, though the service, like everywhere in Jamaica, was pretty slow. It's a super-quick walk to town, and we walked to the beach a couple of times, but when we wanted to head further down along the beach, we definitely had to cab it (~J$350-400). You can either take a cab directly from the hotel (there are always drivers waiting) or walk down the hill and grab one from town. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

My husband and I were supposed to stay here for 5 days. We only lasted one then switched to another near by hotel. To start, the staff is unfriendly, unhelpful, and rude. Our room was infested with ants and flys. While we were at dinner at the caribbean sunset resorts' restaurant someone from the hotel went through our stuff in the hotel room. We returned to our room to find a few unimportant items missing. We felt lucky that we had brought our passports with us to dinner. We didn't feel safe so checked out 30 minuets later.

7/9 found this review helpful

Hello, My cousin and I went the Jazz and Blues festival in Montego Bay, The concert was nice but the traveling from Negril to Montego Bay was toooooooooo Long. They said that it takes 30 minute to get to the hotel from the Montego Bay airport, but it really takes 1hour and 40 minutes so they lied about that. Then they was very stingy with the towels and wash clothes. I tried to speak with the manager/Owner of the establishment but he told me that he was not going to deal with customer services issues, that I would have to wait and speak with the front desk clerk in the morning. Also the Linen on the bed was nasty it was blood stains on the sheets, They did not want to upgrade our room. We had to sleep wrapped up in a flat sheet, because the gave us soiled bed linen. The only nice thing that I can say is that the men that he have working at the hotel was very hospitable and kind. Geico and Sharleen is the name of 2 people that work their and thaey help out to try and make this stay as pleasant as possible.

P.S. I hope this will help people decide better on traveling arrangement for their family, I guess you get what you pay for. Before you consider this hotel please, please please read this review because this experience was the worst experience of my life!

GOOD LUCK MR. HOTEL OWNER!
