Avoid at any cost
Unfortunately the comments about rude and unhelpful staff were true. Not what you expect when you pay this much money for vacation but lesson learned definitely not visiting this resort ever again!

Honest review - solo traveller +7 days
Amazing budget location. I stayed for almost 2 weeks solo. Pros: -Cosy room was cleaned twice in 11 days (super saver) -Safe (I left my room unlocked many times) -Food was top notch for an AI -The beach was 🫠🫠🫠🫠🥵🥵🥵 Cons: -Its a public beach so vendors will try and manipulate you for free drinks (via your wristband) and also hassle you a lot. -If you’re a solo female - this can be a problem but stand firm - they need the reputation for business -Everything else out of the way and taxis VERY EXPENSIVE The beach for me and sea facing rooms were enough for me to love it. Yes the hassle is annoying and the resort have no power but just make excuses - close your eyes and they will go away! Other points: I went diving with Indigo Divers at spitting distance Jolly Harbour I wouldn’t bother with snorkelling trips as the coral in googled places is dead (I did a whole island circumnavigation tour) -I did not do shirley heights as the locals said it wasn’t worth it This is the perfect place to sit in one of the most stunning beaches I have ever seen, have amazing food and cocktails tailored to you.

first time here
Came here for a last minute cheap deal just me and hubby. Was a bit apprehensive with the reviews but honestly I really don’t know what people find to moan about. It was on the best beach on the island for starters. Breakfast was good varied fresh fruit yoghurts, omelette station all types of eggs, British, bacon, and beans. Lunch was good mixture of different types of chicken, Caribbean cuisine such as salt fish or jerk chicken and rice also fresh salads, home-made cake cakes and soup. Dinner was similar Caribbean curry stewed goat if you’re interested in trying different things. On Friday night they had an outside barbecue with Caribbean cuisine and steel drums which was fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very basic but it was facing the sea, so that was a bonus, Plus we never spent any time in the room as It was just used for sleeping so it was perfect for us. My hair straighteners didn’t work there unfortunately Which may have been to do with the voltage so this might be worth looking into if you’re travelling from the UK maybe take some sort of transformer. I think my husband said.? or just be prepared to have frizzy hair 🤣 Also for those that are interested there is a gym there with machines and dumbells which is great! And a supermarket 3 mins walk across the road. We hired a car from the hotel with Garry who was absolutely fantastic, a lovely lovely man who could not have been more helpful and friendly, so much so that we hired it for a second day and he did it at a discount for us and gave us some great tips on where to go. We never usually return to somewhere for a second time, but we are already looking to book for next year and take our older children with us and their partners as we absolutely loved it Thank you, Jolly Beach and we will hopefully see you next year .

Fantastic resort and even better staff!
Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The food was tasty and a good variety! Definitely try the chop up! Staff couldn't do enough for you. The room was clean, a fair size with balcony. The bed was HUGE and so comfortable!! The carrot cake was DIVINE with a morning coffee. Overall It's fantastic value for money resort, especially since the bar staff know ALOT of cocktails!
