“Decaying 1920s grandeur”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2006
5
people found this review helpful

Well, I must agree with a previous post that said the hotel is not what it was - once upon a time, it was really a grand old place right on the sea for whites only. Dear oh dear. I must say the management was clearly not aware that they are not all that any more, because my three white friends and I (black Jamaican woman!!!)were given a really poor welcome. When we arrived no members of the management were there but the cleaning staff and bellboys gave us a warm welcome. They obviously see the place decaying around them but remain loyal. When the managers arrived (bizarrely, they apparently have to be there to let you into the rooms) they were quite rude and it took everything out of us to pay the money and stay the night. In the end, we told them we stayed there because of the location only. (highly embarassing for me as a Jamaican that this was my friends' intro to my country) However, it's right next to Doctor's cave beach, on the hip strip and your balcony is almost in the sea. Nowhere else can compete with that. It's worth it for the view, and who knows, if you fit the profile of who they think is good enough to be in their hotel (rich and/or famous??), then perhaps you might be better welcomed... Other reviews which say it is under constant renovation are correct...most of the rooms seemed closed...I wonder if they'll ever finish?

“Well, it's not what it once was...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2006

The Casa Blanca was the first resort built in Jamaica, back in the 1920's. It used to be a world-class, whites-only place. Errol Flynn stayed here in the 1940's. Today it's a shadow of its former self. Work has me travel to Montego Bay every year or so, and I've stayed here several times; it's always in a state of crumbling renovation, with prosperity just around the corner... the owner is cutting serious corners with the guests food and accomodations, but you should get over it; it's still got a lovely roccoco charm, and it's within walking distance of all the shops and resteraunts in Doctor's Cove. Yes, there's no hot water in the rooms, but it's withing crawling distance of Margaritaville! I wouldn't stay here for a week, but I wouldn't stay in Montego Bay for a week; too commercial.

Stayed February 2004

“I found a new home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2005

people found this review helpful

I was looking for a hotel on the hip strip and on the beach, safe and secure with a private oceanview balcony...and i found it!!!! This eclectic hotel is one of jamaicas best kept secret. it has a 1920 decor, nooks and crannies with pleasant surprises all through the property.......the sea-side restaurant is moderately priced and of good quality...excellent service from all shenay and denise you were the best. You get free access to dr cave beach but they also have their own private beach that is slamming...i was really impressed. i had a room with a high 4 poster bed and a leather sofa i really loved the decor..and the view from the room was awesome!!!! from sunset to moonset i didn't want to go to sleep... looking at the clear water listening to the waves crashing ahh nirvana....check out this room during a full moon. needless to say i shall return to my home away from home again and again and hope that more people don't discover my likkle secret and prevent me from reserving my little piece of heaven

“What a laugh!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2004
7
people found this review helpful

God, I had to laugh when I read some of these reviews, well it was better than crying.

My husband and I visited the hotel and I agree, what a dump!! I can honestly say I have travelled quite a lot around the world and this is my worst holiday ever.

The food was appaling as were the rooms, the hookers outside, tired and dirty. Fully inclusive was a joke, you had to queue up for burgers and chips, yum, not!!!!!

Giving this hotel a review of one is too much, don 't put yourself through the misery, I'd rather go to Colditz!!!

“Now it's false advertisment.”

people found this review helpful

We attempted to go to the CasaBlanca this year and when I called for reservations I found out they are no longer all inclusive, no shuttle from airport, nothing great. A room is all you get. No more Peter, Aaron, Victoria or no one. Need to change my review of this place from 5 to 1.
