My overall experience with the staff was welcoming and amazing. The only issue I had with the property was that there is limited parking available and if it rains heavily you might have difficulty accessing the property as the road will be flooded. Other than that our stay was good as the property is centrally located.

The property was walking distance from the town so that was convenient The road was very narrow , filled with potholes , vehicles were always tooting their horns due the deep corner and the narrow road. On arrival the fridge was not working, no bottles of water was offered in the very hot temperatures or placed in the room. The towels are very old and discoloured. No hand towels were offered.Most day the shower was cold , or the water partially warm.Lots of screaming in the shower especially from the children. The furnitures are very old and rusty. Doors are very old and very difficult to lock especially the one to the pool area. Cockroach was noted in my room and this was reported. The room was sprayed but the next day I found it alive under my suitcase.The girls were bitten badly by mosquitoes. The breakfast was the same everyday unless you pay 10-15 US per person for a Jamaican breakfast. The lady chef was welcoming and tried her best to feed the family. Imagine every morning eating scrambled egg and fried sausages. Sometimes not enough cups to make your self a hot cup of tea so you will have to wait for waiters to wash a cup and sauce for you. Lovely area near the sea with the party boats docking nearby with loud music or tourist passing by and waving from the small boats. The staff was welcoming, and always willing to help. Perfect for short stay and the property could benefit from a renovation to make it more welcoming.

Overall this property has great potential, the exterior was decent & clean, the restaurant had great selection and is right by the ocean so calm and relaxing. The staff is friendly and service is great. However the rooms or particularly the room we stayed was in a deplorable state. The beds were hard, walls needed painting, bathroom was shabby and the vanity & mirrors cracked, old and looked dirty. The rooms are far from accommodating for the per night price. Management needs to look into updating the rooms they require lots of TLC, if the rooms are upgraded this property will be easily a 5 star experience

Excellent views of the ocean from the pool and restaurant. Inside needs renovation, it's more like a trip hazard, uneven stairs and walkway. Rooms are outdated.

This is a hidden paradise. The approach (neighborhood) and the parking area is not ideal, but inside... I would stay here again and again. The Jamaican breakfast is delicious. The drinks are exquisite. The accommodations are quiet, safe, and fun or romantic depending on your wants.

I have been coming ocean palms since 2019 and have always enjoyed my stay there, however on this occasion it was the worst experience ever and thats mainly due to the receptionist horrible behaviour ask her a question she doesn't reply she was huffing and puffing they gave me a dirty wet room the floor was full of straney hair all over the floor i asked to change she lied and said they were all gull looked threw the window of the room next door i was eventually allocated the room after alot of silence sigbing kiss teet the little short one at the desk with the glasses she needs alot of customer service training. Also had alot of bugs is the room leaking fridge and the ac was not working properly and this supposed to be a premium deluxe room absolutely awful and not worth the money

The staff was great and access to the beach was lovely and the beach was very private. This allow you to relax in comfort. This would be a four star or higher if they spend some more money on cleanliness. Overall, I nice pleasant hotel on a budget. I would stay there again

When I arrived I was greeted by every member of the staff that walked by or even help with check in. The rooms were ready, well organized and clean. The way they describe the room as a pool and beach view was exactly as mentioned. I received a nice refreshing welcome drink when I got settled in. Then I tour the grounds and the place is kids friendly with many views of excitement. The only thing I believe the hotel could change is the speed that the restaurant lounge area had. When you want to enjoy every moment every minute count you could tell that the restaurant staff needs to work on time management to get the food out to the guest. But the food was excellent!
