“Perfect Christmas destination!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

The Wexford Hotel is perfectly situated for restaurants, clubs and beaches. This hotel is for people who seek the real Jamaica. The view is amazing I would recommend ocean view room on the third floor or one of the newly renovated suites at the back of the hotel (some have ocean view rooms also). The staff are so friendly and attentive especially Ruthielyn and Elron the barman. Also would recommend excursions with Mark who operates from the hotel. Breakfast was very good and with stunning sea views what more could you ask for! Beautiful pool area, quiet and relaxing, even has sand around the pool and views of the ocean! A great hotel, friendly staff, great location and views in a beautiful country! Wish we were still there!
P.s we stayed for 14 nights and moved rooms on the second week as the noise from the neighbouring club over the holiday period was too loud.

Room Tip: Rooms at the front have amazing view, but can be very noisy. Try and get one of the new suites at t...

“Wexford Inn great stay!!!!”

I stayed here in March of 03. I booked online and at the time, they had a meal plan(more on that later). It's located on the Hip Stripe. Lots of Resturants and Shops plus Dealers, Pimps, Hookers, and Hustlers, A strong No and your left alone. It's 5 minute cab ride from the Airport to the Hotel. If you've been to Ohco Rios or Negril you'll appreciate the quick ride. The Hotel has been updated since I was there. It's was 5 star but it was good enough for me. The Lobby at the time had a Modern look. I remeber sitting on a big comfy couch. Check in was a Breeze. I was on the 2nd or 3rd floor looking out to the ocean. The room had Two beds. No complaints. The bathroom seem a little small, but it was clean and had decent water pressure. Theres a bar in the lobby the drinks were cool. The on site Restaurant was great! I had a meal plan Breakfast and Dinner. That's where my only problem happen. The prices were $$$. My first nights dinner was around 30. Here's the rub at Breakfast I was informed by a lady that I would be over budget for my meal plan. I asked how much was I allotted for two meals. $35 for breakfast and dinner. Why she had an attutude I don't know why. The GM step in and sorted things out. Can't remember her name but she rocked. Her running joke was how much did you eat lastnight Mr. Mackey. The house keeping staff were great. I had clothes thrown on the second bed my first day and when I came back she had everything folded up nice and neat. I have falling in love with Jamaica, and I think the Wexford played a part in that.

“Decent People Good Place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

The Wexford Hotel is a great no frills value and a wondeful place to stay for persons who are not fussy. The place is older but well-kept. Front desk staff are courteous, pleasant, and professional. What the hotel lacks in modernities is more than adequately compensated for by the politeness of the staff and their willingness to serve and meet any expressed need. The food served is excellent. The wait for food is a little long but well worth it. A complimentary breakfast was included in our room rate. What a pleasant surprise!
Sundays' complimentary buffet breakfast comprises sumptuous authentic Jamaican fare plus standard international breakfast fare. The food at the Wexford compares well with bigger named hotels and restaurants. If it can be helped, Sunday breakfast should not be missed; it compares favorably to that served at many higher-priced hotels. The hotel's manager, Mr. Khani is alert, pleasant, and accessible. He is always in tune with what is happening and tweaking things to make the hotel better. Recently, he personally transported a departing guest to the bus terminus so she could catch a bus to Kingston.
The Wexford is centrally located on Montego Bay's Hip Strip. It is close to a lot of nightlife including Pier One a local hot-spot, Margaritaville, the world-famous Doctor's Cave Beach, and much more. I highly reccommend it for the "unfussy" traveller who is on a budget, wants to experience the "real" Jamaica and does not want to be locked away behind the bars of an all-inclusive resort. The verandah is a great place to sip a cool drink, have coffee, enjoy a great meal, chat, read a local newspaper, get lost in a god book, or just enjoy a wonderful view of Montego Bay's harbor.

Room Tip: Ask for an ocean-view upper-floor. They are great people, very accomodating, and will accomodate you...

“Great Price- ...... Awesome View”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011

Our trip to JA was awesome as we did the "hotel hopping" during our 10 days there.
Stayed at two other All-Inclusive resorts for 3-4 days each, but our last night was a walk in to the Wexford Hotel.
What's Great: Friendly Staff, NO frills- basic Clean Air Conditioned Rooms.. Safe.
Great view of the Park and carribean sea..walking distance to the beach.
LOCATED ON THE HIP strip- you can walk to Margaritaville or the Pelican Restaurant(hot spotsfor clubbing and eating).
BEST- having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the picturesque view of park and the sea... simply breathtaking... view!
Good deal for the price.-- will go back again, especially if you are visiting friends or family.. all inclusive is for staying on the premises only..iIf you plan to be out and about doing lots of tours etc.. this is the best price you will get without wasting your money.

Room Tip: walk in an get the Local rate.

“We loved it and will be back.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

The Wexford Court Hotel in Montego Bay was exactly what we needed for this very large Family trip on a budget. The front desk staff made us feel welcomed immediately on arrival, we were served a complimentary cocktail on check in and treated well throughout the stay.

A complimentary full Jamaican buffet breakfast is available every morning, Which included: Fried Dumplings, Kidneys, roasted breadfruit, boiled banana and yam, callaloo, ackee and salt fish and a variety of porridges on rotation. There was also, some of the best coffee, I've had; a wide variety of teas, milo, orange and pineapple juices. Certainly not a toast and butter like another hotel down the street.
There is a full restaurant for dinner.

I found the rooms spacious most came with two full size beds. Of the 8 rooms occupied by my family my husband and I had the only with a king sized bed.

All rooms have balconies. Some had a garden view while others had the ocean view.
There are not refrigerators or microwave ovens or coffee pots in the rooms so everyone wasn't happy with the lack of those modern conveniences. There is weak wifi connection available in the lobby but on vacation, why connect. If one must connect. There was one computer available for guest also in the lobby.

The hotel is not new and you can tell from general wear and tear but it's also clean and well kept. I would recommend this hotel for someone who plans to do a lot and are not planning to spend there vacation in there hotel room.

Room Tip: On a Romanic trip, ask for room 311. Great views, and a huge King Sized bed.
