We stayed for 2 nights and it was a shame we couldn’t stay for longer. Thought the service in general the staff was just brilliant. Found them to be very helpful and nothing was too much for them which was nice. Overall I think the hotel was clean and the food was good

Jewel Paradise Cove was a great stay as we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. The best part of the trip was from Janice at the main large pool bar. My husband and I waited for her shift to start and when her shift ended it was like the party was over. Being in the customer and F&B service, I know great customer service when I experience it. Janice’s level of professionalism and customer service would be the main reason to come back to this location. Ms Janice should be training the other servers and bartenders whose level of service were not up to a resort standard. When a guest pays to get away an enjoy themselves there should be quality service. The main buffet service is very odd. It takes 20 minutes to get Tea or coffee and you can’t find a server so you end up asking someone else who isn’t in your section. The jester court service on our first day was great food fantastic! We went back on the 3rd day and the service was horrible food still great. The server was rude. Janice Walters made our entire trip simply by providing genuine top level customer service and making Jamaica feel like a home away from home. We also had an amazing massage on the resort it is a must! Thank you Jewel Paradise Cove for allowing Janice to be what we and many other guest felt was your main attraction in making us feel special. We will back this year to see Janice! Sorry it took me so long to post the review! Read less

I loved the resort. There were various sections to sit and enjoy the delicious Blue Mountain coffee. This is not a new resort but it was very clean. The food was very good, the pools were great.

The staff was very pleasant. The sunset was dreamy but the beach was not to my liking at all. I am used to Negril beaches so I am guess I am bit of a snob so if you are looking for a white sandy beach with clear turquoise water this resort is not for you....However the rest was fabulous!

Our home away from home. This was our 4th stay at Jewel Paradise Cove and will not be the last. We stayed in a ground floor ocean view room and as always it was amazing. Special shout outs to Janice (we did not have the guts to try her ladder!) and also to the bartenders at the aquamarina bar who remembered my husbands drink from last year by seeing his cup. I’m so sorry I can’t recall her name but she was amazing! We always found food at the buffet for all meals. We went to all the restaurants and as always enjoyed the show at Jade Samurai. We unfortunately didn’t get to have pizza at court jesters this year as every time we went it was closed as they were doing painting and repairs. We only experienced one issue that was our door stopped locking on our last day. This was however taken care of super quickly so really no issue. Thank you all again and we can’t wait to come back next year! Read less
