Beach Hotels & Resorts in Runaway Bay from AU$174

"As a Platinum member they made no provision for my arrival or benefits offered by Expedia. I could not book the speciality restaurant in advance and could not check in, in advance. When arriving only one restaurant was available with space. I had to take it or continue eating at the buffet every night. Not what you expect when spending considerably money. No recognition of my Platinum status. The hotel food meat was very dry. Some meats were so dry it was not possible to eat. I would recommend that Platinum Expedia customers who expect good service and Platinum benefits keep well clear of this hotel. No entertainment after an evening meal past 9pm. Not even music in the lobby. No offer of an upgrade even though the hotel was almost empty. Guests and staff shared the only working elevator between 7 floors. The sauna was advertised but on arrival not avaialble and out of service. One of the main reasons for booking the hotel. There was no alternative luxury offered. A very disappointing experience when there are many other hotels available. In my view a total waste of time, effort and money. "

"The overall experience is very good. We've been to the moon palace Jamaica 2x and enjoy almost everything during our stay. The only things which a found unacceptable is how longs it took to checkin. Both times we waited over an hour and we were only behind 6 groups. Despite pre checking in. For a place this nice their really should be more thought put into how to expedite it this. But, other than that the food, service, the amenities the property and the overall experience was 1st class."

"Love the staff and activities. What I didn’t like was where my room was and how much I needed to walk everywhere and no elevator on my building. "

"Spacious clean air conditioned room. Buffet breakfast was delicious. Friendly and helpful staff. Grounds of the property were clean and perfectly maintained. Free shuttle to the private beach. Ambience at dinner in the evenings was superb 👌. "

"With the possible exception of some places in Italy, I have NEVER been to such a child-friendly environment. The staff were incredible and made us feel like home. It was like staying in a Jamaican uncle's house on the beach. We will definitely go back!"

"This hotel was not as Jamaican friendly/ catered much for authentic Jamaicans based on my experience. As an authentic Jamaican back home to vacation , the food was trash! Unfortunately that is what I was looking forward to the most. The beef served one of those nights was so tough, oh my gosh! Customer service for the most part was good. A young lady by the vegetarian bar was rude one day, not in what she said, but with her tone, and mannerism. It is good that the hotel has many activities planned daily, some of which I did enjoy. However, night life is mostly catered for the older population. This destination is for older white caucasians. There are a few restaurants on this property which my partner and I did sign up for: the only one we tried was the one in the sea( not remembering the name), nothing great about the food, and I felt this dining was rushed, so we just wasn’t interested in trying the others. I had hair services done here, ridiculously expensive, not worth it, well wasn’t for me! Maybe if your Caucasian it will be though, I observed they use their more skilled people to facilitate those requests. Five stars to housekeeping, checking in /out service, dance class team, ladies whom did the massage, front desk ladies at the spa…. that nice lady whom took the extra time to see if my partner and I wanted the massage done together as it was booked separately.
