“Decent Place”

Sunset Beach Resort & Spa

Nov 26, 2005
15/15 found this review helpful

Just got back froom an 8 night vacation here. I did like the place. The food was excellent, and the wait staff should serve as an example for US restaurant workers. Check in was easy, there is a $100 deposit for a safe, which is normal. My advice is to avoid the towers - especially if your room is in close proximity to the large lobby. Our first night there we had to listen to loud (wall shaking) music until 11 pm. Not a welcome intrusion to some one who has been traveling most of the day. And there is live music every night in the lobby. Its actually quite good if you choose to listen to it. I thought the food was great, kind of carribean home cooked in the buffet. It can become repeatative if you are there for a while. The beach isn't great but it is usable. Bring water shoes - there are rocks and shells. The drinks are passable, only cheap liquor is available. The water park feature is 98% finished and is really cool. There is constant construction all around however, and it probably won't be done any time soon. In the Jamaican tradition, several projects are started, but not totally finished so there are always fixtures and wires and what ever not completely installed. Several large construction projects are currently underway. I think that they are renovating the rooms one by one so you may experience a lot of hammering and sawing next to your room. If you get married here, skip the carriage ride up the street, its not exactly romantic with trucks and cars racing all around you. I didn't get married here, but saw some who did. There is almost no local shopping. If you venture out, you will be relentlessly harrassed by locals selling mostly crap. And bring plenty to read, a USA today is $6.00 if its available. There are few other magazines for sale. This place has plenty of potential if it ever gets finished.

“Good value for money”

Sunset Beach Resort & Spa

4 of 5 stars
London, UK
Nov 25, 2005
8/11 found this review helpful

This resort is just really good value for money.

Our favourite all inclusive is the 5 star Xpu-Ha Palace in the Mexican Mayan Riviera.
The Sunset Beach Resort is obviously a little rougher at the edges but FAR FAR FAR better value for money.

I'm surprised that Sunset Beach has a 3 star rating. I'd give it a 4.

Hope you have as great a trip as we did.

“Wonderful Resort”

Sunset Beach Resort & Spa

4 of 5 stars
Longwood, FL
Nov 22, 2005
5/5 found this review helpful

We stayed at the resort for 5 days and had a wonderful time. We were very pleased with the food and the service was impeccable. We really enjoyed the jerk chicken and meat pies. The rooms were clean and the few problems we did encounter (leaking toilet, clogged tub) were remedied immediately. We really enjoyed the waterpark and spent hours swimming in the pools. It is a wonderful place for the kids because they have many activities including video games, miniature golf, kids club, playgrounds, etc. It's true that it is an older resort but they are updating it and the quality of food, staff and activities is exceptional. We would definitely return to this resort.

“Perfect”

Sunset Beach Resort & Spa

Nov 22, 2005
9/10 found this review helpful

My fiancé and I had never been to Jamaica so we decided to go to SSB for our honeymoon. I had read the reviews, which were very mixed so I didn't know what to expect. From the time we got there we couldn't expect things to be more perfect. We had an ocean side room, which was very clean and was kept that way. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating that we actually felt bad about how nice they were. The food was good and the drinks were off the charts. There was so much to do on the resort that we did not take any excursions, so we are planning another trip next year.

“Great place, great people, great time!!”

Sunset Beach Resort & Spa

5 of 5 stars
Nottingham, England
Nov 22, 2005
9/9 found this review helpful

Reading the previous reviews it's like some reviewers have been to a different hotel!

Found the hotel excellent, the food was great wherever you ate. There was plenty of variety and the buffet restaurant was not too much like a canteen which has been a problem at other all inclusive hotels. Got to sample lots of local dishes which was great.

A wide variety of entertaiment was provided every day all of which was of a high quality and Frank the piano player at high tea was particularly good.

Hotel is in a beautiful setting out on the peninsular with sea views all round. Rooms were clean and spacious, facilities were exactly as described in the brochure.

Staff were friendly and helpful, and a please and thank you went a long way.

Never felt the need to go out at night as there was plenty to keep us entertained in the hotel, with live music til about 11 then the disco or the adults only bar with it's pool table.

Would go back again without hesitation and would recommend the hotel to friends and parents, such was the wide variety of activities available.
