The Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort is an all-inclusive 3+-star hotel. But from what I saw, you wouldn't think that. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel and resort area, the friendliness of the staff, and the improvements that are under way. Yes, I was a travel agent visiting for the day, so of course you would think that the staff would go out of their way to be friendly. But I had an opportunity to talk to a couple of guests, and they concurred that the staff was very friendly.
The resort has a great pool and beach area. There are 3 pools--one that is adult only--and the other is a huge pool that has a waterslide going into it--and the third has a fantastic waterfall.
The travel agent tour included seeing 4 different rooms. All of the rooms had a balcony and a view of the water, even the "mountain view" (Wow, what a view that was!). Some of the comments for the first 2 rooms we viewed were about the simplistic, outdated decor. However, the hotel is undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation where they are painting the walls, changing the carpets, and installing new contemporary furniture. The result will be beautiful!
Here is a picture of the "old room":
And here is a picture with the new decor:
The Sunset Jamaica Grande also has family suites that have 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living area, and a small kitchenette.
Yes, there are nicer resorts in Ocho Rios, but what is great about the Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort is the VALUE. For a budget-minded traveler, this is a great option because of the location, price, and amenities. You would easily feel that you were staying at a 4-star resort. It truly is a beautiful resort and I wouldn't hesitate sending my clients here.
