Ocean Coral Spring, Giamaica

Group of 14, ages 4 - 76, Everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

Exceptional: All staff we encountered from the moment we arrived until we got on the bus to leave were exceptional. Friendly, welcoming, accommodating. This includes the check in staff, people assisting us to our rooms, restaurants, bars, and snack bar staff, entertainment staff, gym staff, and the cleaning staff. 10/10. These folks proudly work very hard to please guests so be appreciative and show them some gratitude - it is well deserved and appreciated. Excellent: The food and beverages we enjoyed throughout the resort. Plenty of options and never had a bad meal, snack or drink. Jerk chicken was unreal and the best beef short ribs I have ever tasted were at the buffet restaurant on our last night. Wow! Only surprise was the fresh fruit wasn't to our expectation. Perhaps due to crops damage from hurricane? Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, pineapple, were all we saw, and the quality was mediocre. Didn't hamper our enjoyment at all though. Entertainment was abundant and enjoyable. We really loved how there was something to enjoy right after dinner in the main boulevard area each night. The magic show was really well done as was the Michael Jackson show. The talent night was really fun too! Kids water park is AMAZING!!! Snack bar and bar right there beside it so it's a great spot to enjoy the day while the younger ones play until their heart's content. Size of the resort was beautiful for our group. Not too big, not too small...just right. Very good: Rooms condition was very good, but some wear here and there (to be expected due to volume of use). Beds were firm but very comfortable and A/C was working great. Condition of the grounds was also very good despite still recovering from the hurricane last year. Grounds keepers are hard at work and it shows. Good: It was tricky to get loungers by the main pool and I wish there was more covered loungers available. We made do, not a huge deal. Pool was perfect temperature and large so it never felt crowded. Ok: Beach was the biggest draw back. There were lots of palapas and loungers by the water but the beach isn't for taking long beach walks and the swimming area is a bit cluttered with uneven bottom, some sea grass areas and some rocky/coral spots at the shoreline. You could still wade in and enjoy the beautiful ocean water, and the sheltered bay made if safe from the waves most of the time but long walks along the beach and free swimming/playing in the water are not an option here. All in all this resort was a fantastic spot for our family getaway and we would totally recommend it to anyone UNLESS the beach is your number one priority.

Fantastic Family Vacation

This was a fantastic resort. First time travellers to Jamaica and definitely will return. Service was extraordinary. There was so many staff in all areas of the hotel - leading to quick turn around on any request. The food was varied, fresh and at a premium level. Rooms were very clean. Pool, water slides and lazy River were super fun. The entertainment was super engaging. Such fun activities. It is to note that this is on the smaller side of resorts. This suited us as we loved the proximity between every bulding but for those who love massive resorts - point to be aware of. Small criticism would be the amenities for families with older kids (7+) The kids club is really for little children. Under 5. However The Family Room (video games, foosball, pool table, board games) requires parental supervision but could easily entertain 7-14 year olds. It would be nice if the hotel allowed kids to use this space run by staff as an older kids club.

Great Family Vacation

This is our first time in Jamaica and our stay at OCEAN CORAL SPRING was pleasant, The property is beautiful and is well kept, the room was modern clean and it smelled nice, there is pleanty of activities for all ages, we loved the live band that plays every evening. The food was really good and fresh especially in Sakura 10/10 and La Locanda 10/10 The staff was cool especially the males.. The blue team was very entertaining the swim up bartenders ROMARIO, JAHEEM, and RAJAY were nice, funny and attentive, DERWAYNE from the lobby bar was also very nice and friendly, We had a lil accident at the beach and met JULIEN from security who was awesome along with SHELDON the security manager who is so cool and calm along with PHILLIP the Guest services manager who is very attentive and professional these men are amazing and they dealt with this stressful situation professionally and kept us calm. THANK YOU, We will definitely be visiting again very soon.

Great Jamaican Experience outside of Ochie & MoBay

This is our second visit and we had another very good stay. Property is beautiful with lots of amenities for all ages. The staff makes the experience and they were kind friendly and responsive. Thanks to: Shawn (bellhop); Shavel (front desk); Orlean (housekeeper) and to manager Ricardo who responded promptly to open my room safe, within minutes before I left for an excursion. Shout out to the extraordinary bartenders and wait staff!! The team at the Jamaican Grill ( Tafari, Helen, Steven) is amazing and the food is so delicious, there is always a line-up. ?? Few areas need improvement: beach is bit rocky. Sustainable resort so some processes are slow such as linen delay, but always corrected. No place is perfect. We highly recommend and are planning another trip!
