we had a wonderful time. we did not get the adjoining room we requested, but all in all it was great. i think the biggest downfall was the entertainment. there was a lot of "booty shaking" from the entertainment staff. throughout the day around the pool and at the show. there are a lot of other ideas that can be implemented for "family fun" that this hotel did not have.

Everything was great! Hotel,staff, food & drinks were excellent. We can't wait to go back for our 1 year aniversary! .. More>

This Hotel is Very Beautiful and the Staff is pleasant, Food is good and the Entertainment is Fun. I did not enjoy the shopping excursion the prices are expensive and if you use your credit card you pay 17.5% in taxes......WOW. I also did not like the fact that when we had to change our traveling arrangements going home, The apple vacations rep was not very helpful and I was very unsatisfied with her service, Nor did the Apple Vacations Rep check during our stay to see if everything was ok.

We had a wonderful stay at Iberostar Rose Hall Suites last week in October. I love to travel and have always research everything before I go. I?ve been all over the world but it was my first time in Jamaica as well as my boyfriend?s first time out of the country; Iberostar Suites seems to be a great choice. I chose Iberostar Suites based on TripAdviser reviews and recommendations from colleagues. We were there toward the end of the rainy season but it rains only at night for about 30 minutes or so. For those like me that need to stay connected to the office or back home during your stay, there is a free wi-fi in the lobby that you will need to ask front desk for the code. You won?t have internet in your room or on the beach but you won?t need it once you see the views. I walked over to the lobby once a day before breakfast to check emails on my iPad just to make sure that no one blows up the servers while I was gone. Check in took approximately 10 minutes, the lady that took care of us was very friendly and helpful. After check in, we walked over to guest services on the other side of the lobby and made reservations at 4 of the restaurants for our entire stay. I would recommend you doing this rather than wait until that day to make your reservations. We were able to eat at all of the restaurants except for the Mediterranean Restaurant which was closed during our stay. - Mexican Restaurant: first night we ate at the Mexican restaurant which over all was my favorite. The appetizer table which was a buffet style was fabulous; coconut shrimp was so good, seafood ceviche and much more! I had lamb ribs for dinner and it was fantastic! My boyfriend had duck and it was fantastic as well. We had pineapple sponge cake with coconut ice cream for dessert and it was to die for! Our server Jason was very attentive and funny too. Over all, fantastic food and service, memorable night in deed. - Gourmet Restaurant: We had smoked salmon and shrimp crème as an appetizer part of a three course meal; it was ok but only because I?m not a big fan of creamy tastes on smoked/raw fish. My boyfriend had grilled lobster which was fantastic. The service was ok, but the food made this restaurant my second favorite for dinner. -Main Buffet restaurant: My favorite part about breakfast was the freshly made juice and amazing coffee. There were plenty of choices but it could be limited for the picky eaters. I don?t usually eat heavy breakfast; fresh fruit and coffee will usually do it for me. They have pancakes, waffles, French toasts, fresh made omelet, bacons, and cereal bar, among many other standard American breakfast items. They have a Jamaican corner that has a few Jamaican dishes for you to try. You need to check out this restaurant for lunch buffet. They had a few Jamaican dishes that changed daily; I had ox tail and curried goat?oh my?heavenly. Service was fantastic here! We had breakfast daily at this restaurant and the servers remembered us by the second day; they knew what juice I like and how I want my coffee...I was in awe. One of the girls remembered that I asked to try passion fruit juice but they were out that day so she brought it for me to try the next time I came in. -Aunt Ruby/Steak House: buffet restaurant by the beach that turns into a steak out at dinner. Lunch was ok here, not as many selections as the main buffet. We had dinner here one of the nights, the food was ok and the service was so-so. Everyone was friendly, don?t get me wrong but they were not very attentive; we had to ask a couple of times for someone to refill your drinks. -Japanese restaurant: We had dinner at this restaurant for our last night at the hotel. It was a fun experience but the food was just ok. I love sushi but the sushi they brought out as a starter was terrible; to be expected at an all-inclusive. Dinner was not bad because of the atmosphere. We met some nice older couples and had some great conversations with people around us. The chef was very energetic and great interactions with everyone at the table. Travelers with children would have a blast here. The hotel property was beautiful and well maintained; there were always ground crews working. The room was nice and clean, nothing fancy but we?re rarely in our room. Room service was great, the food was decent to average but the food arrived within 30 minutes even though we ordered practically everything off the menu for one of the nights. The lights were out on our patio the first day, called front desk and it was fixed by the time we returned from dinner. Snorkeling was ok off the beach, but then again I?ve been snorkeling for over ten years all over the world. You need to go toward the right of the beach, near the rope area. There were some giant rocks there that you will find some lobsters, angel fish, eel, etc. Tours: we booked a tour to Negril and a day trip to Duns Falls which were great experiences. The highlight of our trip was Canopy Zip lining tour that we booked at the tour desk in the lobby. It was an amazing experience and I would recommend this to any adventurous travelers out there. If you are taking a day trip to Ocho Rios, be sure to stop at Scotchies before you get to Duns Falls. We?ve been to the Scotchies in Montego Bay but the one in Ocho Rios was the better one hands down. They had the best jerk chicken in Jamaica and if you ask any locals they will tell you the same. One advice if you?re going to take a trip to Duns Falls, make sure to go on the non-cruise ship day. It won?t be as crowed and the vendors weren?t as aggressive/pushy. We jumped off a cliff at Rick?s Café and I must tell you that it is scarier than it looks once you?re standing at the top. Entertainment: we didn?t make it to the disco night but we went to the beach party. Star Friends were great! My boyfriend was picked to participate in one of the contests; King of the Beach. Big thanks to Kevin, MoMo, Kiki, lady OMG as well as the rest of the Star Friends for such a fun and memorable night. We won a bottle of rum mon!

We planned our Jamaica Holiday with our friends who had stayed at the Rose Hall Beach resort two years ago. They enjoyed their stay so much, that they wanted to return. The Flight to Montego Bay with SunWing was good. Check-in for the flight was quite busy and our friends were 1 Kilo over on luggage weight and charged an excess $40. ( $80 on the way home! ) Just make sure that you pay attention to luggage weight including your carry on because they weigh everything. On arrival at the Rose Hall Beach check in, we were pleasantly informed that we had been upgraded to the Rose Hall Suites. I am not sure why, but of course, I did not argue!! We were taken over to the Suites, and found out that while you are a resident there, you have access to both Hotels and their facilities. This was a real bonus. From the moment that we crossed through the front door, we were pampered with great service. Our rooms wer Ocean Front... not just ocean view.... right there on front with a Private balcony and an incredible view of the beach and Caribean. The Suite was very large and had all amenities imaginable. Everything was spotlessly clean and in good working order. We did not spend much time in the room anyways. The King bed was very comfortable and the room serviced and Mini Bar refreshed daily. There was also a Bed turn down service each evening. We took full advantage of the Restaurants and sampled the Steakhouse, Mediteranian, Gourmet and Japanese menus. The Steakhouse was not that great, most folks could do a better job of cooking steaks on their own at home. We had no problem whatsoever when booking for the specialty restaurants. We have read about long line ups, but we just walked right up and painlessly made our bookings. The Buffets were excellent for all meals, and if you only went to those to eat, you would be very satisfied. Lots of fresh food and tons of variety were available at all times. Service in all respects was wonderful! From the Doorman to the waitresses and cleaning staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. We have been to other places over the years, and I always come home thinking, " what could I have done better with my money ?" Not this time though. I do not regret spending what I did for this holiday and will definitely be going back.

Well, we just returned from our third, yes third! trip to Iberostar Rose Hall Suites!! and it was even better than the last times! We are actually going back next year! The Suites is the mid range and centered hotel of the three on the property...The Grande is the most upscale, and the Beach the least. Staying at the Suites affords you access to everything at the Beach as well. Staying at the grande affords access to all three hotels! The Suites is all my husband and I need! We always go to Jamaica in February since you can count on great weather, and you can always count on the Jamaican people being welcoming and warm. Iberostar property is a quick twenty minute trip from Sangster Airport. As I said in a previous review, do yourself a favor,and skip the ground transfers when you book a trip.....Instead go to www.clivestransportservicejamaica.com Book your pickup with them right from home and they will be waiting for you at the airport and wisk you away with no stops....$50 round trip for my husband and I. They also do groups and excursions. Moving forward, once we are dropped at Iberostar we feel we are returning home. The people remember return guests and are extremely gracious. Return guests are acknowledged by the management too with nice goodies! Aaron at the door is all smiles, and a prelude to what lies ahead. Check in is fast and efficient. Duwayne at the front desk is wonderful, and very accomodating. I don't think there are any bad rooms in the hotel.. We have stayed in both ocean-view and oceanfront. suites. The front is fabulous and worth the extra expense. Rooms are spotless and spacious. Again, have some kind of time piece with you since our American phones didn't have service in the room, only on the terrace. Look at pictures of the rooms on this site, They say it all. Housekeeping is excellent and thorough, and the turn down service every evening is appreciated. Your bed is turned down, chocolates left on your pillow, and fresh towels, bath mats left. All trash cans are emptied too. The mini fridge is stocked with beer, soda, and water. replenished daily. there is also a jug of water left for coffee making in the room. Make dinner reservations asap, although you can get last minute reservations the day of. I found eating at the buffett worked well for us,as we weren't locked into a time, and could be flexible depending on the weather. Some nites we were on the beach til 6:30. The fish and chicken are great,and the variety of fresh vegetables was excellent. We ate at the Japanese Restaurant (at Beach) which was good and at the Mediterranean which has an appetizer buffet, served main course , and dessert buffett. This also worked well for us. Aunt Ruby's is the only open air restaurant at the Suites, and is a steak house which takes over the beach buffett at nite. Good. What I like about the Ibeorstar Management is that they really listen, and are attempting to imporve all the time. Last year I complained that there was no Cornmeal porridge (a Jamaican staple) This year it was waiting for me (and YOU) every morning.! Last year I noted that there were not many classes at the gym. This year, they had daily spinning at 11Am (the bikes were good) and pilates at some other time. Visiting instructors come for a week and conduct these classes. When not there, Charles (Manager? and also Jamaican) does it all. He is very knowledgeable, and truthfully I liked his classes the best! The Spa is beyond beyond, and unbelievably free! Do read about the facilities in another review, and I second what was said. Both my husband and I had massages. We paid $110 each which was fair, and more than worth it. I had Ebony and my husband had Marlene as a technician. Both well trained and strong!! Do it! Drinks are plentiful with beach servers who are very ambitious, You are never left dry I was teased (good naturedly) because I drink waster all day. I told them not to worry, we make up for it after four! The swim up bar in the gorgeous infinity pool is fun. The best bar is the Lobby Bar (nitely entertainment). Name brand are readily available.,and you can sit on the terrace outside of it. Oh, another good thing, As of this year, there is no smoking anywhere inside. You can smoke on the terraces, and anywhere outside. Again, they listened. I say "go" "once you go, you will know" Love it! Contact me through Trip Adisor if you have any questions

My husband and I were married at the Iberostar rose hall suites February 7th 2012. It was great, the hotel is modernly furnished and the food is fantastic! Me and my husband have stayed at a lot of all inclusive resorts around mexico and the caribbean and this was by far our best trip! We had 36 people travel with us for the wedding and there were no complaints, everyone had a great time. 10 of us were upgraded to the Rose Hall Grand property but we spent most of our time on the suites side with the rest of our group and the wedding and reception were on the suites side. Excellent selection of premium beverages including Guinness and Heineken. The 24hour room service was quick and delicious (try the chicken nuggets! awesome!). The disco was lively and played good music, The Spa was top notch ( a bit pricey but on resorts it always is). Only ATMS on the property (including in the casino) are all the way over at the rose hall beach, so be prepared and bring extra cash.

We just got back from Iberostar Rose Hall Suites yesterday. The is very family friendly resort. The staff are super friendly and known are kids by name from 2nd day. Entertainment team are awesome.Lots of activities and games by pool/beach during the day for kids and adult. we had so much fun. Food at buffet/restaurants was great actually that was the fist time we didn't get tired of food in an all inclusive resort! The resort is perfect size and access ability to all services are so convenient. We had an amazing time and can't wait to come back! The strong points: Entertainment, Access ability, Cleanliness, Friendly staff,... The weak points: Beach is beautiful but has lots of weeds
