Have low expectations and you'll enjoy your trip.

, Kitchener, ON
2025-04-20
This hotel is very old and in need of a LOT of upgrades, especially the bathrooms and the plumbing. There was no way we could adjust the temperature in the shower and we never got hot water in the sink. Whatever the temperature was that day is what you got. Sometimes it was lukewarm and sometimes it was on the verge of being too hot. There was very little room in the bathroom and next to no storage in there. A lot of buildings had non-working elevators and there were no signs posted to say they weren't working. We took the stairs which is where the fire hoses were. If there ever was a fire, the place would burn to the ground because the shape of the hoses were all frayed and slumped in a pile at the bottom of the cabinet. We all loved the specialty restaurants. Momma Mia was our favourite. We didn't book early enough to get into BLoved for the evening, but did have breakfast there a couple of times and 1 lunch time. We read reviews that said to bring Jamaican currency for tipping, but this isn't incorrect for this part of the island. We couldn't get anyone to change our money into smaller bills for tipping at any of the bars or the front desk. The Mixology course was a riot! I would highly recommend it. The nightly entertainment was mostly good and the 3 men on the steal drums were fantastic. There are a lot of cats on the property, which I loved, but they are skinny. I wish I knew this before going, as I would have brought some deworming medication for them. They were getting fed by guests like me all the time and are very friendly. Our purpose was to get away from the cold and to enjoy the sun and sand and this vacation certainly did that. [Details]

Staff was excellent and the food was great. Beautiful property and close to the airport. The cats on the property are very friendly. I fed them every day.
The weak points
We had a VERY HARD time connecting to the internet in our room. If we did manage to connect, it would drop soon after. We travelled with 2 other people and they were in the next room and didn't have a problem.

My daughter and I went to this resort and had an amazing time! It's very clean and all amenities are close together. Staff are friendly and welcoming. This was our first time in Jamaica so we didn't really know what to expect. This trip exceeded our expectations and we are looking forward to returning in the future. [Details]

First visit to Montego Bay

, On, Canada, ON
2024-04-13
Overall I had a great vacation @ the Holiday Inn. However the Holiday Inn is very old, with little updating done. Especially the guest rooms.
Our first day of checking in was not good. We waited hours to get a room. The staff appeared short staffed and really didn't seem to care about the delay. They seemed disorganized for incoming guests.
The food was good but the deserts were substandard.
The drinks in the hotel were watered down. I couldn't taste the alcohol. The bars by the adult pool were great and the bartender working was amazing.
The food depots set up outside were great.
Our rooms were cleaned @ the beginning of the week but towards the end we would have no one cleaning lady and had to beg to get fresh towels. The staff seemed overworked and were possibly a staff shortage. The beds are very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. I think the hotel should provide fresh water bottles daily for your rooms. They provided the basic.
The employees were very friendly.
The rooms are a little stressed and need some renovations. The bathroom doors don't close and our patio door would not close properly thus, leaving it unlocked.
My biggest concern are the cats at the resort. I felt so bad for them . NO fresh water or food by the employees. Guests including myself started saving left over food to feed these beautiful animals. One individual was yelled at by a grounds keeper for leaving cat food on the ground. The cats are clean, very friendly and loved our company but they are starving.
There were kittens on the resort and one of the workers was hollered at for not disposing of them immediately. He stated he was to remove them at 2 weeks old and place them on the other side of the road. Which was cruel as the kittens would not survive and run over by vehicles.
Bring some Cat food with you!
If they invested in spay and neuter it would solve the issues.
Most people enjoyed their company.
The Wifi was terrible. The Holiday Inn needs to update their connections.
The shops were very reasonably priced and had a nice variety.
The prices for activities were a little high considering a tip would need to be included.
The grounds around the resort are well maintained.
Entertainment was not as great as I expected. I would have loved to see traditional dancers and more cultural integrated.
The private restaurants were very nice and the staff went out of their way to fulfill your needs.
The tour guide booked through our AC representative Nicolette for excursions Assani was wonderful and knowledgeable.
Nicolette our AC representative for orientation and excursions was great. [Details]

Love this hotel! It is smaller than a lot which I love as you get better service (in my opinion), get to know the staff as well as the guests. The beach is amazing and not a lot of seagrass. This was my second time at this resort and they provided me with a special dinner for returning guests which I thoughts was very thoughtful. The hotel itself is a little outdated but it did not affect the overall experience. Food, drinks and entertainment were great! We booked a la carte 5 of our 7 days and never had an issue getting a reservation. [Details]

Holiday Inn Resort Feb 2024

, Lethbridge, AB
2024-02-28
When we arrived we asked for a complementary room upgrade (we emailed prior to leaving and they said to check when we arrived as it would be on a first come first serve basis.) The gal said we had a perfectly nice room. When we checked in there was a musky smell to the room. The air conditioner ran on and off non stop and was really clunky. It seemed the musky smell was when it ran. We finally just turned it on fan. One bed was comfortable, the other was not. In the bathroom, there was no fan to remove moisture/ humidity, the tub/shower would only turn to a certain temperature (it wasn't even a normal knob it had a black plastic stick you turned on. Cool showers were not fun, we went to the front counter and told them, she sent us to customer relations, to which they said they would send maintenance (they never arrived). We found the pools to be lacking. The adult pool was cold and the “hot tub” was barely warm. Never made it into the main pools hot tub as it was always “being treated” someone we talked to said it was cold too. The main pool was ok-ish. We found the food to be good, desserts were not. The hamburger, tacos, hot dogs, ice cream and jerk chicken offered through the grounds to be very good. The drinks were good, but the lineups were sometimes long. The one bartend at barefoot bar was amazing, high energy & very kind. Also, the main girl that greeted you most days at the restaurant was AMAZING. She greeted you with a smile and genuinely was happy to see you. Most workers were good, but not exceptional like the 2 I mentioned. We quite liked the entertainment, but found some of it too loud. You could not chat in the restaurant while entertaining was happening. Overall our trip to Jamaica and Holiday Inn Resort was good. Whether we would come back to the same resort is in question. It definitely needs soon room maintenance and cleaner air conditioners, along with fans that run to be able to get bathroom moisture out. You could see black spots of mold on the ceiling and I wonder if you took the air condition apart that you would find the same. Having a musky smell indicates mold and you do not want customers to come and end up sick. If that and the pools/hotubs were fixed we would consider coming back. Thank you for your hospitality.

, Burlington, ON

Check in at hotel took forever as check-in was not until 3pm and so everyone came back at the same time which caused long and slow lines at front reception desk. It seemed very unorganized and after a long day of travel just wanting to get to our room.

We walked to our assigned room (no one offered to direct us there or take our lugggage) and the room was the farthest building away from lobby. When booking I requested a room on a higher level with a balcony and we got a room on the main floor facing a drunken adult-only pool with no privacy, holes and stains on the curtains, stains on furniture, just a run-down looking room. I called to complain and they switched our room to one on the 3rd floor. It was a little better but had a broken TV remote and some other minor issues. The rooms at this hotel were very small, closet shutter doors versus real door for bathrooms, smelly towels/linens with stains. The shower drain was clogged and would pool. The Hotel also had empty fridges with no complimentary bottle of Rum, beers, water bottles, or pops. When I called to say they had forgotten to stalk our fridge they informed me that would cost an additonal $50/day!!! The room walls/windows were poor and you could hear everything...traffic, birds, people talking. There were several days during our week stay that no housekeeping came to clean our room. Before check-in we had even told the hotel it was oir honeymoon and thought that maybe our bed would be decorated with rose petals or something, but nothing. The towel hut often had no beach towels available. The beach looked nice but couldn't really swim in it as it was too shallow, more suitable for children. The bar drinks sucked...no selection...didnt even have pina coladas for days....hot wine...staff didn't know how to make a tequila sunrise or common drinks that most resorts would have. Not very many bar staff and had to wait in lines to get drinks. The hotel had no speciality coffees (spanish or Irsh Cream coffees) and directed us to a basic pre brewed coffee thermos, was hoping try the blue mountain coffee but was disappointed.The resort had only 1 buffet and it was small and not much selection for food...low quality tasting food...not very hot. The resort was supposed to have a casino and a games room but they didn't and stated it closed due to covid. This is def not a fancy 4-4.5 star hotel at all...which it claimed it was. People did not dress up for the al la cart restaurants...lower class kind of resort forsure.The resort not taken care of...mini putt course was not cleaned/maintained. The nightly entertainment wasn't great, there was one night it was okay where they had a sqxaphome player. The stage was just a podium by the pool with no seating just pool loungers to sit on. Everything that comes free at most resorts seems to cost extra at this one. Even 2 of the 4 al a cart restaurants cost extra to dine at. Couldn't get seafood at the seafood restaurant unless you pay an extra $40 US/person. For what we paid I had expected better. [Details]

Too many issues with the room and unfriendly staff

, Fredericton, NB
2023-03-10
Cons:

ROOM was very poor. The A/C was extremely loud and kept our whole family up. We are a white noise family, this was not just a little loud, it was very disruptive. It rattled the patio doors making it even more louder. The shower water leaked all over the outside hall way. The bathroom door were closet doors which made little barrier for privacy. They were also missing the door handles. There was a cock roach climbing up the wall. We were in building 2, fourth floor. Do not recommend.

FRIENDLINESS: I was surprised at the unfriendliness of the staff. We are big on manners and never asked for anything special or extra (didn't even complain about our room when we should have). I don't want to label them all unfriendly as there were some that were kind. The majority make you feel like you are a bother when you ask for a drink. The nicest staff were the people at the food bars. Very few staff smile. They are slower than what people may be use to but we were on vacation so that bothered us the least.

SHADED SEATING: People are so bad for holding the canopy/shaded beach/pool chairs with their towels and not using them for hours. NOT COOL! We rarely got a shaded spot as people are inconsiderate. This isn't the resorts fault, this is just lack of common courtesy with the guests. I would recommend the resort post signs with some kind guideline around this.

Pros:

QUAINT: I love the size of this resort. Everything was close by and the kids could roam and they were never that far away. It's a smaller resort and I recommend if you have kids you get in buildings 1-3. We felt totally safe to let them do their own thing (ages 10 ) and the kids made friends. They loved the ice cream/nacho bar.

FOOD: Buffet was always full and lots of variety. Lots of kid options (chicken nuggets, pasta, fries, pizza, etc..) The chicken is really good. The omelet station goes quick and those girls work their butts off. She was one of the friendlier ones. The burgers, grilled cheese, nachos and hot dogs they serve through out the day are good. Their veggie burger is good too. JERK HUT is a must try!! I really can't say anything negative about their food. I was thankful for not having to cook for a week. I appreciated the treat.

WATER/BEACH/POOL: Wonderful for kids! It's not too deep and very calm so you can assure your kids can swim safely. Bring snorkeling goggles!! You can see all kinds of cool FISH and water creatures near the island rocks. Pool was a good size. It's not quiet, always music playing but we liked that

Overall, I do recommend this place for kids. There are no waterslides or anything like that but if your kids like to swim, snorkel and roam around and eat ice cream all day then this is a small quaint spot to take them. I would not spend very much money to come back, it would have to be a super deal. I liked the DR 3 star resort better. [Details]
