“Unsatisfactory :(”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Even though we confirmed the week before......when we arrived, they informed us they had overbooked and didn't have a room for us, however they would put us up in a "very nice" overflow property. That property turned out to be a dive. Sent us to another property that was nicer but in a horrible location--we are not hard to please people but these were not satisfactory options. The office staff was rude and did all they could to pretend we were not standing there waiting for another option ( a refund). Were told they could not refund us, as we booked thru an agency and not them directly. Asked to use their phone to call the booking agency, were informed their phones did not call out. Used our personal phone to the tune of $90US to visit with our booking agency to get our money refunded. The gal behind the desk informed us within 2 minutes of speaking to our agency that she was refunding our cards but could not tell us how much. RUDE, RUDE, RUDE! Sent us down the road at night, suitcases in tow where we found a couple of LOVELY places to stay, so in the end it all worked out well (except for the phone bill and taxi tips to run us to the overflow properties).
I will mention that we stayed at Fun Holiday Beach last year and I was pretty generous in last year's review, mostly because I try to cut people slack most of the time but this experience was beyond cutting them some slack!
Good luck to you if you book with this property. My advice is to check out Hidden Paradise, Grand Pineapple or the rooms above and behind Shamrock Grocery......all wonderful experiences with them!

“Oops....they "overbooked"!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Just a quick note to say that we booked far in advance, confirmed the week before and yet when we arrived last week, they had "unfortunately overbooked because their computers were down". They tried to put us up in a wretched, run-down property in a poor location. They were rude and unaccommodating. Told us their phones were not able to call out and that they would not be able to refund us (our booking company would have to do so) but could not call them for us. Sent us packing down the road, bags in hand......rude, rude, rude! I would say "beware and confirm in advance" but that didn't do us any good! We will NOT be returning!

“Awesome trip!”

Would definitely return! I was surprised how great it was for a 3 star. I liked that it was a smaller resort & the beach was the nicest I have ever seen. Food was excellent thanks to chef Robert & the gang. There was a good variety & don't be scared to ask if you need something, staff were more than willing to help out. Great service from Nyron, Camonne, Lois, Debbie, Andre, & Duane. Hotel was clean. Security was great. We had a blast!

“Great for the price!”

If you are not expecting a 5* you will be pleasantly pleased at the Fun HOliday - the staff is the greatest I have met in a long time, the bartender Marvin, the beach boy Dwayne and of course the great chef Robert made our stay most memorable...and lets not forget Tasha who took good care our us and our accomodations....miss you all!

Room Tip: all rooms are partial ocean view - great view at sunset but you should really be on the beach! Brin...

“Never again will I cheap out on a hotel!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Be warned - Jamaican 3* = Canadian Motel.
Pay $500 each extra and go to a 4* or more resort (this is not a resort - it is 2 blocks of basic, decrepit rooms, a pool, a restaurant with 6ft of buffet choices and one bar available that ran out of everything).
I could write a rambling review listing all the bad things about the place but that has been done before.
To those people who say that the staff make the place - well, those staff won't be there the next time you go, and if you go to any resort in Jamaica the staff are friendly.
I find it surprising that Sunwing would offer this property in their catalogue.

Room Tip: Any other resort
