Princess Grand Jamaica Resort - All Inclusive

Princess Grand Jamaica Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful family vacation from start to finish at the Princess Grand Resort. The property was beautiful, and very clean. The staff were friendly and courteous, and the entertainment was amazing! There were plenty of food choices although the buffet wasn’t always great, but there were lots of other restaurants to choose from for finer dining. I highly recommend the luxurious spa where I experienced the most relaxing massage."

"This property is amazing! The next best thing to staying at an all inclusive. The meals were absolutely delicious. My daughter particularly enjoyed the jerk pasta. It's extremely accessible to other restaurants and events if you choose to leave the site. We enjoyed the family game room and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They also resolved a significant issue with the airline labour disruption. Thank you for demonstrating customer service at it's finest. This is now my families nymber #1 selection when it comes to staying in Negril. I've recruited my girlfriends and we will be back. Awesome stay and trip."

"This was our first time at this resort. The property has a wonderful feel, set in the Montego Bay area. The location is spacious and the views are both stunning and gorgeous!! The beach is small but the beach access is extremely easy. The amenities are wonderful, and the entertainment is lively and very well-planned. The restaurants offer significant variety and the food is wonderful. But here is the hidden gem - the staff! The staff - customer service staff, restaurant wait staff and housekeeping staff are top notch, professional and very attentive, without being overbearing. This resort is a can’t miss! A true gem of the Caribbean!!!"
