Decent hotel, reasonably priced for an adults only. Beaches were pretty small if you are a beach person. Good snorkelling at the smaller beach, we did get out a couple times on our first couple days of holidays, sadly after that it was rainy and cloudy and pretty large surf the rest of our holiday, we tried the snorkelling again later in the week but was way too stirred up to see anything, again not the hotels fault, for free...was decent snorkelling what we did see. Overall good stay, hotel is starting to show it's age, but the staff were exceptional, the food was excellent and although it was overcast and rainy for 80% if our stay which is obviously not the hotel's fault, they did their best to keep everyone entertained and smiling! I can't say enough good things about the staff here. Oddly we did see a family here with about a 12 or 13 year old boy on our last couple of days here.... not sure how that works at an adults only resort. Overall we enjoyed this hotel and what it has to offer, sadly the weather did not cooperate at all! I would stay here again if the price was right! Read less

This is a fantastic Small and intimate Resort. Very Mature and laid back for relaxation. Easy access to all pools, bars and restaurants, with a staff that is SECOND TO NONE in the Industry. I've been traveling to Jamaica yearly for over 35 years, seen ALL Brands, and Jewell Paradise Cove is where we stay Twice yearly now for our Birthdays as we are getting older and appreciate the ease of this property. This is not a "Spring Breaker Party" type of place. The facility and grounds are as beautiful as they come & give you an old school Jamaican feel and & the food choices are just right! Jewell is an EXCELLENT choice for mature couples or singles looking for a truly relaxing time! Read less

This was an awesome idea for us to go to Jewel Paradise Cove Jamaica , the weather was perfect and we had rain on only one day all day , the staff are so friendly and welcoming and full of life we made great friends with Terry - Ann the beach bartender , Kavin at the coffee bar, Keaton from the snack bar and buffet, as well as Brandy from the steak restaurant and Geetha who makes the best Chinese food at the Jade Sumarhi restaurant and of course the omelette maker in the morning Donique, we were always greeted with a smile from other staff members and the evening entertainment was very good and during the day the entertainment team kept the party going with games and exercise, all the rooms were very quiet and clean, never ran out of anything, the General Manager Barbara was very nice and friendly and we enjoyed her company we will certainly miss seeing each of our new friends at Jewel Paradise Cove but we will certainly be back soon Read less
