Independent North Coast hotels

"After being closed for several months our overall experience was chart topping. We didn't like that all restaurants weren't open daily. Would of been nice to have a list of which restaurant were open each day to plan accordingly. "

"The swim-up bar was the highlight of our trip. The bartenders were amazing and so patient and kind. Shout-out to Winston for being the best at it!! We split our time between two resorts and I could tell you the foos was comparable, if not, better than the other more expensive resorts. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Others complained about noise, but that doesn't bother me much. It's a vacation, people are meant to have a good time. Only minor issue was that if you slept in, often times, the best loungers were all taken (near the pool with swim-up bar). Also, not the best beach front if that's what you're looking for."

"Ocean view "

"Great resort with an amazing staff! Food was also surprisingly great as well!"

"I wasn’t able to take advantage of the restaurants because they were booked for the dates I was there. I had to eat at the buffet "

"Fast and easy shuttle from the airport."

"I was originally suppose to check in on 2/24 but due to bad weather in VA my flight was canceled and rebooked for the next day. I tried to get a refund for that day i missed but the hotel refused. They offered to extend the trip by one day, but because i have an engagement to tend to that would not be doable. "

"Food was ok nothing great, staff ok. "

"We recently returned from our first trip to Jamaica. Ocean Eden is a beautiful resort and the staff was pleasant upon our arrival. Our room key was a bracelet with a little fob that we wore for the entire stay - great for someone like me who constantly loses the key card at hotels. The bracelet also served as the way to lock/unlock the safe in the room. The room itself was very clean and spacious; I loved the fact that it faced the entire property: the ocean to the left, the pool in the middle, and the hills to the right. the housekeeping team did an excellent job with daily service. The room was always clean and the bed made up perfectly. The team restocking the minibar daily was also great (the plantation chips are so good) and made sure that we had enough bottled water to drink each day. The Marlin was our most frequented restaurant (I was in love with the octopus cocktail) and we went to the Captain’s Market for the buffet often (so many options!) I liked the fact that we could walk over next door to kid-friendly Ocean Coral (but Coral could not visit us in Ocean Eden) and experience the food options on that side. Route 66 had great milkshakes while my partner had amazing oxtail and Jamaican jerk at Sugar Cane. There were also snack bars near the beach and the pool. Both the beach and pool were relaxing but we noticed that the beach chairs filled up quickly in the morning while there was more availability at the pool. I also liked the vibe at the pool with the music. "
