Runaway Bay review
"Good location for exploring Jamaica"
resort to a friend
As we were all-inclusive, eating out and nightlife outside the hotel wasn't really applicable to us. The restaurants at the hotel were more than enough! Entertainment at the hotel was varied, interactive and often hilarious, usually finished around 11.30pm, after which a disco went on until after 2am (indoor and soundproofed). The entertainment team are absolutely brilliant! Just outside the hotel grounds is a nightclub, British style pub, a cash machine, a couple of supermarkets and two shops selling handcrafted souvenirs, but we found very little need to leave the grounds apart from the organised tours. Runaway Bay is an excellent location if you want to explore Jamaica, only 20 minutes from Ocho Rios (shopping, Dunn's River Falls, Dolphin Cove, Mystic Mountain Bobsled and Skyride) and an hour or so from Nine Mile (Bob Marley tour). The weather was also much better than other areas of Jamaica - we were baking in the heat under a cloudless sky while Montego Bay had heavy rain!

Only went to Castries to go to the market and visit the cathedral (worth the visit). Did however go to the 'Friday Night street party' nearby, definitely something to try!

Superb resort, stunning views and beaches, the closest to paradise ive been! The only critsism i would have is that the humidity on the island can be a bit overpowering and temperatures at times were a bit too hot for us!

It is in the middle of nowhere. The nearest town is 30 imutes away. The shops on site are very expensive. Sun cream is very expensive. The clothes are very nice but also very expensive. Some of the gents shirts are $150 each. The medical centre is very close but looks like it has been furnished from the 1970's

We loved Antigua and were very sad to have to leave. The beach is lovely, great white sand. Glorious weather, we got a bit of rain to cool us off each afternoon.

An hour from central Havana, which is culturally rich and a must see for anyone travelling to Cuba. Plenty to do in the resort and around Varadero also. Beaches are stunning and very clean, with clear blue water.

"sirenis playa turquesa"
resort to a friend
Only left the complex once and that was to go and swim with the dolphins. This was an excellent day out!!! Did not book through the rep, went with another guide all legit and secure! Went horse riding, visited a farm, ostrich farm, swam with dolphins, boat ride (on our own), lunch at a restaurant (on our own), coach back to complex. Great day out!!!!

Bridgetown was a great resort, lovely white sand and clear blue sea, so relaxing!!!!!! Most of the time was spent around the hotel though, which was fantastic.

An all inclusive resort, hence the score for cost of food and drink. We stayed on a two for one basis, resulting in exceptional value. Perhaps not as good if we had paid full price. Very clean beaches and fresh coconut milk to go with the local rum!

Didnt venture to far into Puerto Plata, but what we done was okay. We stayed in Dominican Republic 13 years ago and last time we went you were advised not to go out of the resort, it has changed now because you can venture further if you wish to. Due to the heat and our 2 boys, we choose not too, but lots of people did and from what they said we think Puerto Plata is getting better and will hopefully continue to get better.

St Peter is nice, safe to walk around and better than the ABV resort! We enjoyed the submarine trip and decided to go swimming with turtles which my son remembers over a year on!
Beaches can be hit and miss so be careful.

We loved Cuba and were very sad to have to leave. The beach is lovely, great white sand. Glorious weather, we got a bit of rain to cool us off each afternoon. The Havana side trip was amazing.

For anyone who wants to spend a quiet relaxing holiday, this resort is idea. There are quite a few hotels in the resort which have closed down over the past couple of years, therefore it seems fewer people are now visiting. There is a shopping plaza near the beach, housing pizzahut, pubs and shops, but once again, due to the lack of people visiting, quite a few shops are closed, but there are still enough to warrant a visit.

The location was beautiful and there were loads of things to do. The prices were reasonable and the food in the restaurants was very delicious. I cannot wait for our return trip there.
