Wonderful view of the bay and lush green forest surrounding the accommodation, natures at your finger tips.
N/A
This is a very clean hotel. Staff was super friendly. I like the location
The TV is very small. The place is a bit dated
Breakfast was ok but it like a 'one for all' menu.
Wifi was terrible. There was barely any water flowing in the taps.
The rooms were delightful.
WiFi wasn’t as good.
Great breakfast and we had dinner there everynight. All meals were spot on in presentation and delicious.
How peaceful , clean , quaintness, the food, customer service was simply amazing.
The pool needs to be clean.
I enjoyed the breakfast, just that it could be a little more.
Environment
Lack of entertainment
Rust en de natuur. Goed locatie voor ontdekken van de regio
The MOD and gentleman in the bar area were personable.
The room was hot and dirty when we checked in—curtains were literally black with grime. The woman at the front desk was completely unhelpful, more focused on her phone than doing her job. In the middle of checking me in, she actually asked me to step aside so she could help the Caucasian guest behind me. I hadn’t even finished my check-in. She didn’t explain anything—no info about vouchers, the facilities, or the Wi-Fi. We only stayed one night, and when we tried to speak to a manager the next morning, surprise—no one was even at the front desk.
nestled in a serene location easily accessible
road needs attention
I love the lush vegetation around the property especially the variety of flora.
The lush green vegetation was appealing. Small details as face lift for rails would enhance the appearance. Having a kitchenette without a microwave and a fridge is really not good. The mosquitoes really had a feast.
Breakfast was amazing all the food was good in the restaurant , room was amazing! Bed was comfy, room was clean and nice. Staff was so sweet and friendly! See you in January 2026
room was undersupplied with towels, and the facilities were under the standard.
Place is clean, airy and plant coverage is good
The location has a beautiful view, the food was very good, especially breakfast was true jamaican style. The room was comfortable, and pretty big. The ceilings had wood beams and were very high. It wasn't like your typical cookie cutter resort. It was very cozy, comfy, and rustic almost. The resort felt like we were in a jungle with all the vegetation that was there. We had an avocado tree (pear tree) right outside our balcony. I would definitely visit this resort again😊
The only thing I can say that I did not like was the pool.It seemed like it was a little bit bigger in pictures, and it was actually pretty small.
A very friendly service especially the head chef. Easy transport links to and from town, less than a 10 minute ride. TV, WiFi and air-conditioning, don't disappoint. Food was nice with a selection to choose from. The fresh breakfast juices are a must, they're delicious. The only thing I would have liked is a fridge in my room and a bigger pool. The swimming pool is good for dipping or suitable for kids. Above all else I enjoyed my stay.
Cozy and comfortable
Perfect spot as a base camp for beach adventures, just a short ruta taxi down the road. Room was very comfortable and we really enjoyed the food! The land is lush with greenery and all the walls have colorful murals.
Great location, rooms were large and spacious. Good value for Money and the staff were great.
Sun loungers need updating. The bar was closed by 9pm.
Staff are great..Room had a rustic vibes but was clean...Ac worked great and water is shower was hot as i wanted..Highly recommend if you are looking for rustic country side hide away
Breakfast and food was excellent, and the staff was great!
WiFi was not functional in my room, the rooms appears to be biotic “dated”…they could be updated somewhat
Wonderful as always! Staying on the site is peaceful and rejuvenating!
Great location. Easy to find. Clean, massive room. Calm, quiet property. Nice balcony with a sweet jungle view.
WiFi was horrible in my room. Had to open the door to connect. Something was off with the water pressure and heat in the shower. Breakfast was meh.
Wonderful maintenance staff. Greeters/receptionists were amicable, knowledgeable and well rounded. The property is well kept and is really blessed with flora and fauna. I highly recommend you travel to this location and be one with nature. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you 😊 Bayview!!!
Nice and quiet property, friendly staff
The hotels. com websit list WI FI, however there was none available during our entire stay. Communication from this hotel is lacking, and the AC in the room did not work that well. On the positive side, this hotel has a beautiful view, the Kitchen staff and servers contributed to making my stay at this hotel pleasant.
Ideally secluded with adequate amenities and excellent customer service
Beautiful property
Great place and food!
None
There was the choice between continental and jamaican, continental was to be expected, eggs toast jam. But jamaican was a surprise of local dishes different every day.
Booking.com let us book for a family room of 4 persons. But the resort only has rooms dor maximum of 3 persons. What we really appreciated was that the staff went beyond their responsibilities and arranged for an extra bed in their biggest room.
The property is peaceful and quiet. The only issue we had the property not wheelchair or luggage friendly
Staff, Property, my room was nice and spacious.
No phones in the rooms to get the front desk and the walk was far too walk up to them from where we were staying. Not enjoying breakfast staff so you had to wait very long to get served.
Everything was good even before we got there and calling the receptionist was very welcoming and when we arrived even though late but it didn't hinder her profesionalism
The shower in our room wasnt working
The staff was very professional, pleasant and helpful. The property was beautiful and quiet. I enjoyed the food. The overall experience was amazing and i would stay again. All the staff were amazing from the reception staff, waiter, waitress, cleaning lady and ground staff. We didn't like that no fridge in the room.
Just Beautiful
I love everything. The only problem is that I did expect some fruits involve in the breakfast
It was great for me
Breakfast was good.
It was very nice.
The Quietness of the place
The low water pressure
Staff was so friendly and helpful - the view is amazing from the pool area and the breakfast taste great!
The pool water had a weird taste if it got on ur lips
If you are not a fussy person this might work for you but to be honest I wanted to leave from my first night. The bed and pillows were as hard as concrete. The hot water barely worked. If I had a third night I couldn’t stay. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. I also loved the walk to the restaurant, it was beautiful. I would never go back there again Facility needs a lot of attention.
This was my 4th visit and sadly my last. The property looks more run down, the receptionist was the definition of deadpan - she could care less. The room was not very clean and the beds were hard. Also there was no hot water. The only plus was the Chef and the breakfast. I wouldn't be surprised if this hotel shut down in a few years.
Yes!

Amazing Service Beautiful People
The staff were very friendly. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. the view from the property was absolutely beautiful. Will definitely return.
Bathroom shower needs to be fixed or updated. Wish snacks were sold on the property.
The overall stay was good very scenic and quiet and we had access to most of the amenities. We liked that room service was respectful of our stay and the location was within reasonable distance from the town and other amenities.
The overall experience was good and thankfully so as our first night we had issues with the booking. Our quoted price from Booking.com did not match the price charged and was actually about 30usd more than quoted so the Booking.com price was erroneous.
The property was well maintained and beautiful.
The breakfast was limited. They only had one option and it was just ok.
Beautiful and close to Frenchmans Cove for a lovely afternoon.
I found the design of the resort very therapeutic.
No fridge in rooms and cold showers
I like the environment.
We didn't like the fact that the ac wasn't on to keep the room cool... it wasn't welcoming arriving to a hot room.
It was perfect for what I wanted. Conveniently located.
It was so beautiful very nice location things to do restaurant was decent staff were great I liked them all very much and even though hotel was full we felt we were the only people on the property....I loved it. Try Jackman Cove was amazing...
Bed is the ONLY thing I didn't like it was hard and 2 mattresses pushed together could feel the middle part
Environment room setting great
All inclusive would be great
For the money that I spend the bed should have been a better bed,there was two hard mattress put together to fit in a king size bed,the king size bed with two mattress look like they was picked up of the road side, and very very uncomfortable
My bed was horrible and uncomfortable,the two double Manchester to maker King bed was horrible,it felt like they picked it up on the side of the road, and i should be refunded my money.
Pleasant staff
I love this place peaceful beautiful the sounds of the jungle are amazing. The food in the restaurant is great the staff are friendly and wonderful. I totally recommend staying here. I would go back any time I’m in the area.❤️
Even though I'm scared of lizard 🦎 lol I felt at home it's very peaceful and my kids didn't want to leave..the staff there are very welcoming always have a smile place is great.
Two things for me my bathroom at Bamboo 6 is too small and my bed was not comfortable at all.. oh I forgot I wish the kitchen was open a little later or we had access to a stove to prepare warm dinners
We enjoyed our stay, the staff are very friendly and helpful. We loved the aircon, great help. The only thing i would suggest is each room should have as standard a mini fridge as it is a hot place, a room bin and a kettle.
Very clean, friendly and helpful staff. Appreciated convenience of on-site restaurant.
What i appreciate about it everyone makes you feel at home and the place is clean and welcome i am going back for the spa next time
Nice property but a little below a 3/4 star resort.
The privacy. The beauty of the entire place. The food wad also great.
The check out time.one day has 24 hours.
Amazing views, lush vegetation, delicious breakfast
Bed was uncomfortable, pool was too cold
We enjoyed the dinner and the outside space. It was nice having the trees and nature around.
The facilities are a bit old and really need replacing in some cases.
The staff seemed friendly..however there was no hot water in the pipes..could not take a good shower..it was an overnight stay and frankly too expensive for what it was
The food and spa
The room and bathroom
The staff is pleasant and the quality and presentation of the meals were very good. The room is dated and some fixtures require more attentive maintenance.
Breakfast was fine. limited choices. Staff slow with orders.
Cleaner rooms. Updated facilities. Inferior quality toiletries. All white towels were grey.
The staff was very friendly and helpful . The chef was very good. Amazing. Room was clean.
The property was old and the basic facility like a room phone was lacking among others. I understand the term eco but it still should be up to date no fridge in the room only junior suits. Rubbish. Not family friendly nothing for kids. Pool was dirty.
The restaurant, restaurant manager and staff were great.
the rooms and facilities
Restaurant and Restaurant staff. Food was great and staff were great.
Facilities very poor. Poor quality overall and wasn’t worth the price. Pictures are deceiving. The furnitures were rusty and discoloured. Old furniture.
Breakfast was very good
I didn’t like how the rooms did not have a safe for your resonant belonging
I like the food. Chef can cook
Room dark and outdated Decor needed updating... very poor interior
Location is good. Close to all the nice things to do and see. (Go rafting on Rio Grande and take the long tour!) Food was good, took forever but was nice.
we are a family of 4. 2 Adults and 2 children. They don't have rooms for 4!!!! Only triple rooms, which meant 1 huge kingbed and a single bed. Although this was not wat we expected the sleepingplaces worked. BUT.... THE ROOM WAS NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES ONLINE!!!!!! Didn't even came close to the nicely decorated rooms online. Our triple room was old, dark and dirty. I was very disappointed and talked to frontdesk but because there was a wedding, there were no available rooms left. Bathroomdoor was broken, floor was dirty, no closet for clothing. We used an ironingboard to lay our clothes on. The whole feel and look of our room was COMPLETELY different than what I expected because of the pictures online. First night there was a wedding. As you can see online, they are proud to host those events. Well.... We asked what was a good time to have dinner, because of the wedding. We came at 6, we received food at 8.15!! The wedding is above the restaurant and somehow they placed the speakers OUTSIDE for everyone to hear. There was so much noice from the speakers we couldn't even talk propery. Lots of screaming from a lady with a mic and loud music. We did not have a great start in Eco Resort. There was nothing ECo about this...... As long as you don't expect to much from the rooms and there is NO WEDDING this can be nice. When you book a familyroom / come with kids then rooms are nothing like the nice pictures!!!!! We made it work, had a great stay in the area. So much to do and beautifull nature!
I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE BRAKFAST THEY SAY 7AM, AT 7:30 AM STILE NO BRAKFAST THE TV DID NOT WORK IN THE NIGHT, I THINK I SHOULD GET A FREE NIGHT ON MY NEXT STAY THAT WILL BE FROM THE 9/3 TO THE 9/5 AND BECAUSE OF ALL THE I WAS LATE TO MY APOINTMENT THE MORNING OF MY CHACKOUT.
No wifi in guest rooms. Pool closes at 5 pm.
Gorgeous property! We stayed in Ackee House. Room was spacious and kitchenette was nice to have. Only issues with the room was the fact there was no ceiling fan or other fan and moat of the windows did bot have screens on them - was issue for me as my skin takes serious issue with bug bites. And my partner and I each got a few. There is AC but we only used at night. Some noise from nearby construction but nothing that compromised my sleep. My partner will add you should ask what 'market price' is before ordering - he was not expecting to pay 3500J for steamed fish - thoughhe raved about it. The daily breakfasts were authentic and delicious. We loved ginger cat. All staff were great. Did not take advantage of any spa services but would do so next time (priced what one would expect in US - to be able to have a service and stroll back to your room nearby for a nap wouldve pure bliss!). There is nothing nearby but we had a car (required) to get around - the roads of Port Antonio are horrendus so be prepared.
I have nothing good to say for place-other than surrounded by lush vegetation. The bed was hard & very uncomfortable-worse yet. The shower & hot water didn’t work, after supposedly sending a plumber. The facility is in dire need of updating. There were people who chose to leave after first night. Not to mention we paid $180 per night-just total loss !!!!!!
