What upset me the most about this hotel was that the website misleads it's future clients. There are no bath products in the bath except a tiny bar of soap. The towels are thread bare, mismatched, and rough. The owner's son seems disinterested in his guests and the food was mostly from cans. If the price was less, then I wouldn't have been surprised, but they charge a lot of money for what you get. In addition, if you want to go anywhere on the island, it's a $30. cab ride each way! Be prepared to put a lot of additional money into a stay at Coral Cove as it's very isolated. On a positive note, the property itself is lovely, and it's a shame that the website is so misleading.

I went to Coconuts back in 1994. I was looking to go back when I read the news about the murder of the owner. What and unjust sorrow. Coconuts was PRADIDSE! It was the heart and soul of Jamaica. It will never be forgotten.

I stood at the Grand Lido Negril and I was impressed. I had a Oceanfront Jacuzzi suite and I never had to leave the room with 24hr room service and the beach out the front door. The hot tub in the suite was to die for. The "Fountain of Youth" facial was amazing. The first night I drank three bottles of champagne in my suite and it was wow. Staff and Manager Roberto were so attentive and just great. Beautiful beach and pool. Bar service non stop everywhere..pool, room, beach amazing.French and Japanese Restaurant EXCELLENT. Even got a cake for my birthday. I have never been spoiled by GLN felt like a queen. Everyone knew my name so nice GLN.

We stayed in Sans Souci in August 2008, and had a wonderful time.
The hotel and grounds were welcoming, charming, and clean. The staff was very friendly, and the food was to die for. We had a penthouse suite with views over the ocean. It was pure bliss.
It was an amazing holiday. There were lots of excursions, too. We visited Italy on our engagement, and didn't think anything would top it. Boy, were we wrong.
We are going back next year. I can't wait. It is certainly worth a visit, although don't tell everyone - we don't want to spoil it!

My wife, father, best friend and I stayed here for two nights. It was my second time staying here (the first was about ten or 11 years ago). We enjoyed our stay.
The price, $75 per night, was very reasonable. The room was clean and well kept. There were a few minor things - like the AC looking like it was on its last leg (but it worked fine); and the light in the closet being out of order. However, on the whole, there was nothing wrong with the place.
The staff was courteous and friendly, and the laundry service washed a good load of clothes and got them back to me in about three hours.
We had a room with a balcony, which faced the beach. The door to the balcony would not lock, but there were bars on the outside of the balcony so intruders wouldn't have been able to get in from that side anyway.
I recommend this place for anyone looking for a relatively cheap place to stay during the off-peak season.

The rooms had a smell, were less than clean, and the breakfast wasn't much. The walk to the room was long, and we received major attitude from one of the staff here when we sat by the pool. I wouldn't stay here again.
There were no pictures taken because I didn't want to be reminded of this place.

I was here in September for my first vacation ever, and I was stunned by the people, attractions and the atmosphere.
I was so happy with everything that I am hopefully coming back in February. I can't wait to see all the entertainers who were so sweet. Also, the staff was simply awsome. Hope to see you there!

My trip was much more than I hoped for.Visited: October 2008

For a two-week business trip, my stay at Villa Bella was grand. My room overlooked the surrounding lush green of the mountains of central Jamaica.
The staff was very attentive. The entire hotel was clean and very well managed. The hotel was located within an easy walk to the center of Christiana for shopping.
The highlight was the excellent food in the hotel restaurant. Local Jamaican food, as well as American dishes, were available for each meal. Bar (try Monica’s special rum punch), laundry service, friendly staff, Internet access, and cool mountain climate made my trip much more than I had hoped for.

We do a girls trip to Cancun, and stay at the Riu Cancun every fall. We love Riu Resorts. This was the first year we ventured to Jamaica.
The entire trip was amazing. The hotel accommodations were great. The employees went out of their way to be polite and friendly. The food was really good. We may never go back to Cancun.
I recommend Riu Ocho Rios very highly.

I love the pillar houses. We stayed in April and November 2008. The place was renovated over the winter of 2008. It now has a spa, larger balconies on pillar houses, and windows (not louvers). You can't beat the value here.

This is an excellent value on Seven Mile Beach.Visited: January 2008

I have stayed here for years. You cannot beat the beach frontage (200 ft), the great and caring staff, and the good location. The pool and stores are also nice.
This is just a great value spot.

Don't bother 
I Can't Believe It! So So Sad! 
I would recommend this place for budget minded travelers. 
It was less than enjoyable. 
Samsara offers an excellent value.
