Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Moon Palace Jamaica from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Moon Palace Jamaica is a popular choice, especially for families, thanks to its wide array of activities; guests frequently highlight the kids' club, arcade, and diverse entertainment like magic shows. With multiple pools and beach options on the large property, there's plenty to explore, and dining is also a plus, with a pizza oven available all day and specialty restaurants like Momo hibachi receiving high praise, though some found the buffet-style dining to be somewhat repetitive. Many appreciate the convenient location for exploring Ocho Rios, including the craft market and attractions like Mystic Mountain and Dunn's River Falls. Several reviewers also enjoyed the views and mentioned taking advantage of amenities like the catamaran.

mixed feelings about my stay

rude staffsubstandard cleaning
I found the front desk staff to be quite unhelpful. they were unwilling to accommodate a simple request for complimentary airport transfer, even after i spent seven nights there. some staff members were rude. One even told me, "do not come back". the cleaning service also fell short of expectations for a hotel claiming a high standard. Something was always missing after they cleaned my room.
