“if they had a red carpet they would have rolled it out for us”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

people found this review helpful

I travel the carribean as often as possible. I have never stayed in an all inclusive or 5 star hotel. I prefer the more mom and pop places to the large chain hotels. I travel this way for two reasons; cost and I get a much more feel of the local envirnment. With that being said I found Fishermans Point to be a typical carribean affordable hotel. It is not 5 star by any means but the accomodations and staff could not have been better. I ended up there because me and my family and friends missed our Carnival cruise ship out of Miami (we watched the boat pull out of port without us after car trouble in a remote area-boo Carnival no stars for you!). When our party ended up in Ocho Rios, we initially had arraingments to stay elsewhere. However our wonderful cab driver advised us that our planned hotel was in a bad area of town. He said he knew of a place that was close to the cruise port with 24 hour security in a good area. He showed us both hotels and we took his advice and stayed at FP. We were treated so well by all staff from the front desk to the security guards and even the gift shop. Our accomodations were nice including a bedroom, large bath and great room with a kitchen and living room with cable TV. Plenty of room for all of us on our unexpected Jamaican vacation. The grounds were nicely maintained with a pool and lots of tropical plants. the location of FP is in a great area of Ocho Rios with plenty of things to do ie resteraunts shopping and many tourist activities. We met up with our cruise ship in the port and started that partion of our vacation but we all missed Ocho Rios and the friends we made while staying at Fishermans Point.

Fisherman’s Point Resort

The positive: great location; easy walk to center of Ocho Rios & close to major attractions in Ocho Rios.
From the 3rd floor the view of bay is awesome! Watched people come & go from cruise ship. No elevators!

Building 9 where we stayed, the floor plan is great with kitchenette, living & dining area, bedroom & bathroom.

The furnishing is dated. Felt like I walked in my grandmother’s old home! Certainly not what I expected for a 3 star facility. Kitchen counter is old and shabby. Had 2 cheap plastic bowls, a few cup and 1 drinking glass.

Living area, the curtains at the patio door is filthy. It would be so easy to throw the white net curtains in some warm soapy water to clean! The covers of all chair are drab & dirty.
The cover of the faucets in the kitchen & on the wash basin in the bathroom is missing. What’s left is encrusted . Turn the hot water tap on in the bathroom, and water squirts from the cold faucet. The mount for the shower door coming apart so door difficult to slide.

Worst of all, the Baywatch Restaurant & bar on the property, near building 9. Music started blaring from the bar started around 6pm and continued way into the night. We could feel the vibration from the speakers in our room.
Why we stayed? We had prepaid for 3 nights through RCI on the condition that the transaction was is “completely non- refundable, non-changeable, and non-transferable“.

However against every emotions, that i was felt .. i checked into a room on the ground floor ,,which i was told.. thats the best room ..that they had available..when the gentleman open the door. and i checked the room .. living room no AC,, musty dirty smell.. the Bedroom old wooden twin bed.. dirtty, crumbs on the sheets.. at that moment i immediately decided to check out. from the Fishermas Point Resort. i then called expedia.. to book me at the grand Bahia resort which was a great experience ,,In the meantime expedia could nt find anyone available to discuss the matters of my Refund of six nights @ $169Us a night,, we have called several times .. to the hotel .. No one ..I mean no one,, would speak to me, or expedia,, Shame on you .. Fishermans point Resort..

“The most atrocious place ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

people found this review helpful

I made reservations at Fishermans’ Pointe in July 2011, despite being advised against it by my daughter, to stay for four days. Upon arriving at the hotel (word used loosely), I realized that I made a grievous error, but being that I was already there, I surmised, how bad could it really be? Then I found out!!
When I got to my room, (which by the way is on the first floor, next to the road, with a little man acting as both security and gate ((iron bar)) raiser) my question was answered. You walk into a one bedroom style apartment with a kitchenette and refrigerator. In the musty smelling living area there are very antiquated dirty sofas as well as an antiquated television. In the bedroom there was also an antiquated bed that was not fit for one person, not to mention two. The air conditioning in the bedroom was not working properly and there was not air conditioning in the rest of the apartment. The only clean/updated part of the room was the tile floors which seem to have been laid recently.
There was no telephone in the room and the television only had three channels, with poor reception. That was the clincher for me to leave this hotel.
So I went to the make-shift, detached lobby (with liquid stained deep read chairs) to find out why there was no AC or phones and was told that there were no phones in the entire hotel with the exception of one in the lobby. In fact, there was no phone service because it was disconnected back in March.
I used the one working phone in the hotel and called Expedia to inform them that I wanted to change hotels because I was not comfortable with the lack amenities and especially the lack of real securities. While I was on the phone Expedia tried to contact the hotel and, naturally could not get through because I was on the only working phone in the hotel. The receptionist was able to reach the owner using her person cellphone. I talk with the owner and informed her of my decision to leave the hotel citing the problems including the AC and that I wanted a refund. She told me that the living room is not considered a room and therefore should not have AC…she also told me that she would not refund my money because her guest loves her hotel. I informed her that clearly I was not one of those and that I needed a refund. She then told because her hotel (syn) was such a lovely place she could not do that and she was not going to argue with me about the quality of the place. At that point I just knew it was time to go and let Expedia sort out the refund later. I had my daughter find me another hotel in the immediate area, which I went to and enjoyed my four days stay.
If you should ever have to go to Ocho Rios Jamaica, stay clear of the Fishermans’ Pointe…it would probably good for fishermen wanting a day of rest, but definitely not for someone on vacation.
