Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort All-Inclusive, Montego Bay

My husband and I have been to Sandals Negril three times prior to this trip. We now have a 2 year old so need I say more. But we loved it here. The food was excellent. The entertainment was wonderful and all the action by the pool was great. The Jerk chicken hut rocked. The rooms were kind of run downed but the view of the ocean was spectacular. We are heading back next year maybe with out the little guy. The resort was wonderful for the price. We could go 3 times for the price of one trip to Sandals.

It was our honeymoon vacation and overnight I broke out in hives from head to toe. When I went to their on-site nurse’s station, they told me it was from the sun, but I told her that I had just got there and didn't even have enough time out in the sun. I went to the nurse’s station and they did nothing for me. So I went to the management staff, I told them I believed I had an allergy to the detergent they were using in the linens which included all the towels and bedding. All they could do was put brand new sheets and brand new towels in my room, which they did. I told them not to change the linens ever again for the rest of our trip, and wouldn’t you know they did. I was living off Benadryl cream and pills my entire trip, and once I got home had to go straight to the Emergency room and was placed on and IV drip bag of 3 different types of medicine. The doctor said he had never seen such a severe case of hives before, I was released from the hospital, but had to go back for several more injections. It took me 4 weeks to heal from that entire ordeal. Also while we were staying there we had met 6 other couples and at least 1 person out of those 6 couples had also broken out in a rash. The one couple exchanged telephone numbers with me and she also had to seek medical treatment when she came home. I would never go there again, nor will I ever tell anyone to stay there again. I only got 1 good nights rest my entire trip. My arms were so bad I could not even move them they were swelled up so bad it was beyond pain, and their on site nurse's station and their management help is a complete waist of time.

We had a wonderful time at this resort. The rates were reasonable, great staff, clean facility, food was great, and very convient to shopping, nightlife and airport. Can't wait to go back.

Upon check-in we were greeted with smiles and a drink was served while we checked in. Our room was very nice and the staff were all great.Of the three restaurants on site our favorite one was the SeaBreeze, Delroy and David were very professional and the food is fantastic. Our favorite bar was the Jerk Hut, Antoinette was the best bartender in the resort and everyday starting at noon they serve jerk chicken and pork which was awesome. For the money you just can't beat it!

This was the most exciting resort. Words could not express how I felt about the holiday inn sun spree....it was a sweet vacation.. My grand children didn't want to leave. I became a kid at heart.. The staffs was pleasant., they poured their heart out to the guest....room was clean...food was good...entrainment was nice...sea was relaxing....what more can anyone ask for in a Jamaica all inclusive package....I'll be back next year.

We can't wait to go back. Please understand, if you are looking for a five star resort, then you'll want to go elsewhere. However, this is in our opion,a wonderful place to go on a budget where there is plenty of white sandy beaches, water toys for all ages, large family pools and an adult area of the beach with it's own pool w/ pool bar! Drinks galore, just hand them your cup and they'll filler up! I suggest taking a travel mug as many others did otherwise you are given a small plastic cup which doesn't hold much. Drinks and Sodas are at your disposal! Entertainment everynight on stage at the pool. Be patient as it really gets going later. Above the main lobby is the club and reservation only Mexican and Italian restuarants. We didn't care for the Italian restuarant. The Sea Breeze is awesome though! It's right on the beach. Get a seat on the deck if possible as it's so close you could spit in the ocean! Here's a tip given to us by the staff. The reservations for the specialty restuarants fill up quickly. You can only reserve a restuarant one day in advance so as soon as you get there, go and reserve one, then as soon as you get up, go to the information/tour desk and reserve one for the next day and so on! We had no trouble getting what we asked for by doing this. We asked about it while checking in and this is what we would told. The casino really isn't much. Just a little room with a few machines, but you can always catch a shuttle and go to the HUGE casino in town! The beach huts line the whole beach and are perfect for relaxing in the shade but you must get there early to get one. Otherwise you'll be in the sun, but there were always plently of chairs whenever we were on the beach. Music was easily heard wherever we walked. The rooms are not new but ours was very clean. They are in the process of renovatiion. We didn't mind because we were rarely in the room! The view was great from our 2nd floor balcony in building 2. The jerk chicken hut was great. The buffet is what you make of it. It all depends on your taste. It will please most but there are always those who will complain. The coffee is Blue Mountain and to me very strong. My husband loved it but too strong for me! Kids and familes will love the main pool located once you walk throgh the lobby. The lobby is a large open area with ceiling fans only so dress VERY cool as you may have a bit of a wait getting checked in. They go as fast as they can but when you have a large shuttle full of people, it can take a little while. While in line, they came around with a welcome drink of wiskey sours and Rum Punch! Theres a nice spa area but we didn't go there. We were beach junkies. We've always done cruises and this was a nice change. We spent far less money here with it being all inclusive than on a cruise with all the extras we nornally do! Again, its not knew but nice! The grounds are gorgeous! We can't wait to go again!

We loved the Jerk Shack......We had it 2 x's a day never even hit the lunch buffett cause the jerk shack was so good and right next to the beach! Breakfast were great at the buffet and the Seabreez for dinner was our favorite resteraunt! Love the view!!!! The beach cabanas were amazing and the staff was so freindly! Orrett Daily at the pool bar was so cool!!! Thanks so much yeh mon! We did the Safari 4X4 tour it was the best....True cultural experience and great tour guide Kesha ask for her! Great price for a 4 hour adventure that starts from the hotel!!! Best resort for the value!

My family and i had a FABULOUS time at this resort. The staff were friendly and very accommodating, the children were always included in the entertainment. We spent 7 nights and that wasnt enough. we r already planning our next trip cant wait:)

we just spend 7 days at this resort and would not go back. Its basically a holiday Inn with food and drinks. the food is average except the jerk chicken which was great. the drinks are watered down. room was nice and clean and location was good staff friendly. I do like to be pampered a little more while away and not have to bring little things like shampoo and conditioner. I know sounds silly but with luggage being weighed now its a point.the grounds are well kept and beautiful. Free van service to rose Hill shopping which was appreciated.

I guess I can honestly say it was just what I had expected. I read many of the reviews prior to my stay and did not have a high expectation of this resort. The rooms were dated and not the cleanest. If you are expecting to have room service or to bring food back to your room, this is not the hotelyou want because they do not allow that. I have never heard of such a thing! If you want to eat at all of the restaurants on the resort, I hope you are staying for at least 2 weeks. I was there for 5 days and only was able to make 1 restaurant. The others were always booked. I attempted to try another restaurant and missed my reservation by 5 minutes and they refused to seat me. I suggest you just eat from the Grill or the Jerk Hut, that is about as good as it gets. The staff wasn't bad. You had some that weren't too friendly but the majority were very friendly. You aren't on your time, you are on theirs so don't expect to get things when you want them. If you have the patience of Job you will be fine! If you are looking an inexpensive get away and don't care too much about your room, the food or the service, this is the place to stay. Check out the lounge upstairs (can't think of the name at the moment) and check out 'Hot Party Pete" if you want to unwind and relax. Also the hotel provides free nights at Margaritaville if you want to get your party on.
