Tobys Resort, Montego Bay

I took a mission team of 71 to stay at Toby's . I was a bit aprehensive since in previous years, we have gotten burned by some higher star resorts. It was a WONDERFUL experience. We were greeted with a smile ( all 71 of us) and the check in was in less than 15 minutes! The cook provided an excellent dinner and breakfast for our team. Shane, the owner went beyond his call to accomodate our team. The rooms were nice, clean , cool ac, bug free, roomy and had a nice balcony or porch. The pools were clean. One of our team members had an allergic reaction during the night and had to go to the hospital. The owner told us to call him at any time and he would personally come pick us up from the hospital!! This was so kind! We will go back to Toby's Resort! Toby's gets a thumbs up from Fort Mill,SC!!!

Overall, Toby's is a pretty decent value if you aren't expecting everything and all the amenities to be absolutely perfect. It's an older facilty that has some minor flaws, but the price is reasonable. It's not located on the beach and it's not luxurious. It's a little run down. It's not a Sandals or Breezes, but it isn't priced like that either. There are two relatively small swimming pools. The rooms and sheets are clean and that was important to my wife and I. The staff is very friendly and helpful, The food is quite good. It's within walking distance to the "Hip Strip." It's probably more like what the real Jamaican experience was like 30+ years ago. If you're on a tight budget and if you aren't super fussy, you could do a lot worse.

I stayed at this hotel, with friends, on April 25, 2910.They have got a superb team at working at front desk. They are all, without exception, friendly, attentive, and most of all helpful. Scotty

My brother and I stayed at Toby's in January. It was ideal for two young guys on a budget. Toby's is located about 10 min walk from the airport right at the beginning of the "hip strip". The staff was very friendly and helpful in giving us advice on things to do in Montego Bay. The room was pretty small but we didn't spend too much time hanging out there. Definitely shell out the 5 bucks for Doctor's Cove beach its worth it for the floating trampolines and nearby bar. The first few days we ate exclusively at the hotel restaurant which was tasty but a tad overpriced ($20/each for dinner). Eventually, we discovered the Back Page restaurant hidden behind the craft market about a 2 minute walk from the hotel which sold local cuisine for about 300 jamaican. The one excursion we took was to Ocho Rios to climb the waterfall which was definitely something you can only experience in Jamaica. It cost $60/each for Paul to drive us there but we didn't really try to bargain. In terms of nightlife, Pier One was poppin off friday night with plenty of dancing and lots of people. Margaritaville was a more touristy bar but was much closer to the hotel. Outside the hotel, my brother and I were constantly offered various drugs and souvenirs by the hagglers but once they realized we were broke college kids they left us alone. After the craft market folks stopped pressuring us to buy their cheap gifts I had some stimulating conversations about life in Jamaica and left with a whole new respect for the people there. Overall, Jamaica is the bomb and Toby's Resort was perfect for what I wanted to accomplish there "Relax and Chill"

If you are looking to see and explore the true Jamaica go to Toby's. Have Carmen make you her special drink (the best poolside bartender) have Paul drive you on adventurous tours of Negril (snorkel, jet ski, swim, relax on the beach) and Ocho Rios (see cliff divers and of course visit the famous Bob Marley estate) and have Lloyd drive you around and see all of Montego Bay (the market, hills of Montego Bay, meet the local people & more). These people will make your experience a memorable occasion. Shop for local made crafts of beautiful Jewry and wood carvings or pick up some fresh fruit that has been kissed by the sun. This is the true Jamaican experience. If you come to Jamaica to just sit on the beach all day its better to stay somewhere else but if want to come to Jamaica and see and experience this most precious island stay at Toby's.

I liked that there was security on site 24/7 and that it was peaceful. No one at the Resort was rude or tried to hassle you. For the price it was excellent. Now once we left the parking lot the hassle began. I thought that all Jamaicans were friendly and trusting. Wrong!! Beware they are dirty & SNEAKY individuals!! Best advice is not to go on the Hip Strip and if you dare to adventure do it early in the morning and don't look at anyone and if they speak just keep walking and ignore them. Always say NO No No because they will keep bugging you. And some even claimed to know us from the rental car place and others said from the bar-- remember me??... No way!!! Hope this helps. I wish we would have known before travelling.

Very nice place, we spent 12 days there. It's quiet, rooms are clean and it's convenient to everything, the staff was a very nice. I say it's an excellent place for the price. I intend to stay there again.

i was only for a night so it was ok.i would go back anytime.room was very comfortable .place was kept clean n the lady at the front desk n security was nice .would recommend .pool n pool bar was lovely. no dislikes

this place was a great place to stay although you cant see what the hotel looks like on the website butt the hotel was the best and the price is just right!

Nice property that needs updating. Beds uncomfortable & lumpy. Staff at front desk unfriendly. I have a business in Jamaica and had a Jamaican female stop by to conduct business. Front desk demanded that I pay extra even though she was only going to be there for a short time. I had to point out their own sign which stated that only guests staying overnight would be charged.My guest was made to feel like a prostitute even though she is a successful Jamaican business woman!!
