Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Was the most affordable entry into the Beaches brand
- Compact layout meant no long walks for little legs
- Included golf clinics for kids (a rarity)
Tóm tắt nhanh: Currently shuttered for a massive and necessary overhaul; book Beaches Negril instead.
Được đánh giá bởi @claviaDunkley6198015: I honestly didn't expect to fit this much into one trip! From climbing Dunn's River Falls to that insane swing, every day was a new rush. Staying here made hitting all these spots super easy. If you love adventure, you need to book this now.

Reality check
The 'Greek Village' rooms were notorious for mold issues and dated interiors before the closure.
- You want to know what it WAS like (historical context)
- You are waiting for the 'New' version to potentially reopen in late 2026/2027
- You enjoy small, cove-style beaches over long strips
Vệ sinh & Bảo dưỡng
5.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Pre-closure reviews cited missed dust and rushed service.
- Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Frequent reports of black mold in grout and musty shower curtains.
- Maintenance: Poor. Peeling paint, broken AC units, and leaks were common complaints leading to the closure.
- Linens & towels: Often described as 'worn' or 'scratchy' rather than the plush standard of other Beaches resorts.
- Odors & scents: Distinct damp/mildew smell in the Greek Village ground floor rooms.
