Accommodation was clean, comfortable and modern. Amenities such as an elevator could be installed as climbing stairs to the 3rd floor with luggage is as challenging as descending especially when it rains.

Fictitious hotel.. does not exist

You are advised to find another place. Checked with 20-30 locals in Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, but not 1 single person ever heard of the place and had no idea where it could be located. Calls to the "alleged" hotel were NOT answered. There is no address or map location. Orbitz refused to properly assist. HOW ABOUT THIS ORBITZ.... GO SCREW YOURSELVES!!!

6/10 Okay

Avelina, Rhode Island

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Fine, semi-comfortable studio, improvements needed

This is a fine, semi-comfortable studio, well located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Spacious, quiet when there is no dancing at the beach, and picturesque. Close to restaurants, small markets, the beach. It needs, however, some small improvements to bring it up to a higher rating. Kitchen: needs kitchen-towels, pans of good quality, needs cup-glasses for serving (although it has "champagne" glasses?), cooking tools are of cheapest quality. The kitchen sink has no stopper. Bathroom needs mores supply of towels. Living room: has NO phone, this is indispensable to be connected to central office in case of emergencies. Bedroom: sheets must be replaced with new ones. It is unacceptable that the sheets, although clean, had holes in the corners (tears; hard to explain why).
