This is my 2nd trip to Jamaica in 28 yrs, the first was in Ocho Rios and our 2nd at the lovely Grand Bahia. You arrive to a wonderful open lobby with smiling faces and gracious attitudes. Our room was ready and waiting. The room was a beach view with a balcony over looking the pool side. The only bad... More

I always read tripadvisor reviews prior to travelling as I rely on the information to make educated decisions as to where to stay or what to expect from different resorts & locations. Grand Bahia Jamaica is no different. I also need to preface this with the fact I am a seasoned travellor, I know you get what you pay for,... More

Let me start by saying I have been to Cuba, Dominican and now Jamaica and Jamaica was by far my favourite. The hotel itself is beautiful, the outside of it is gorgeous it doesn't look like any other hotel. The pool is massive, the trees and flowers are gorgeous, the rooms are a bit dated but who cares. The staff... More

Our stay was May 5 - 10th, 2013. Awesome experience from beginning to end. We received the Don Pablo upgrade and it's the way to go. Spend the few extra bucks and be completely satisfied. We enjoyed the convenience of being able to easily get around the resort. Everything is within walking distance, no need for trolleys and carts to... More

I look and see all the amazing reviews and think " Wow, was I at the same resort?" I will give my honest opinion and just leave you to make up your minds. On arrival, the staff was amazing, Very friendly and accomodating. When we saw our first room we thought it was ok. Not 5 star, but ok. Then... More

Just returned from an excellent vacation May 10th to the 17th, once again big shout out to all the staff that work here. Food was good once again, weather was fantastic only 10 minutes of rain all trip. Our room once again was spotless, no issues here at all. Would return again.

My boyfriend and I and 5 other friends stayed at the GBP from April 28 - May 5 and we had a great time. My boyfriend and I stayed in an ocean view suite and the view was breathtaking. It is worth the extra $20 dollars. All the suites in comparison seem to be the same. We were in the... More

Me and a buddy went down to the GBP runaway bay for a week at the end of April, and let me tell you, we had a blast. From the moment we stepped off the bus we were taken care of by the staff and entertainers at the resort until the moment we left. I've been to Jamaica before and... More

Second time to the hotel, this time for a wedding. Staff as usual great, rooms spotless. Restaurants very good but have to say the buffet was our favourite along with the jerk chicken beachside at noon. The wedding was wonderful, no details missed. Also the wedding photographers pics outstanding. Will definitely be back.
