The hotel

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar epitomises a delightful experience. This adults only hotel, right on the beachfront, will allow you to relax without having to lift a finger. Don’t forget to stay hydrated and visit the four bars the hotel has on offer, including a swim up bar, so you don’t even need to leave the pool. But, if you did want to venture out, you could go golfing at luxury golf course Cinnamon Hill or get up close and personal with the local sea life by visiting the hotel’s diving centre. Get to know the two sister hotels, Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites and Iberostar Rose Hall Beach, as you have full access to their facilities and restaurants. Meaning you are free to indulge in a further ten other eateries across the complex, and numerous bars.

Once again, in mid October, we had the privilege to be guests of JOIA Rose Hall or “The Grand” as we know it. The vacation starts when we arrive at the front door being recognized and greeted warmly as soon as we get out of our ride. The staff at Reception are and have always been so accommodating to us. Everything that we have grown to love about this resort still exists. We enjoyed the no reservations at the a la carte restaurants and the buffet still never disappoints especially the Friday night one which should not be missed. We did not have one bad meal. Breakfast and lunch we also very good. We spend our days on the beach and our evenings at the lobby bar. Our room was terrific with housekeeping and restocking were spot on. Room service was also very timely. THE BEST PART of our vacation is seeing all the regular staff who are one of the key reasons why we keep returning. Room for improvement: better quality house white wine; drapes are difficult to open and close and could use some replacing or mending as well as making that sliding door easier to open. Special recognition to Teresha Brooks, Clive, Gary, Jerry, Judy, Alexia, Keresa, Amanda and Mayogal and, of course, the rest of the team. Thank you all! See you in December! Read less

Dinner restaurants were impressive. Staff was hit and miss on service. Went on a dressel Montego Bay excursion. Don’t buy anything from the shopping experience at Sam’s place. Cheaper at the airport. Same bottle of rum was $10 cheaper and rum cream was $15 less. Left with disappointment due to the fact this is the chosen establishment to shop by the Dressel dive shop crew. They must get a kick back. FYI the gift shop at the hotel was $25+ higher on same bottle of rum. Lesson learned Read less
