Runaway Bay Hotel Guide - Luxury Hotels in Runaway Bay, Saint Ann

"Had an almost perfect stay at Moon Palace and would 100% return. Pros - 99% of staff were amazing and adored my 1 year old son. They made such a fuss of him and his confidence grew so much while we were here. Food choices excellent, we enjoyed all of the restaurants and never had a problem making reservations. Cafe and snack bars were great. We thought the rooms were great, room service very good and drinks replenished in the mini fridge daily. We booked a deluxe resort view but did have a lovely view of the ocean. Pools and splash pad were great, sea was very calm too. Cons - booked transport via moon palace to/from Montego Bay airport. They had us waiting over an hour at 9pm with our 1 year old until it arrived and then check in was incredibly slow so was after midnight by the time we got to our room. Requested a cot in advance and it wasn’t there when we checked in so was another hour before we received one. You could also hear music every night until the early hours from our room, it was incredibly noisy. We tried to change rooms but it was so poorly handled by reception that we ended up cancelling it and getting a refund. On the plus side we saved our money and did get used to the noise! The only other thing that bothered us was people smoking by the kids pool. It wasn’t too common but I do think the staff should have directed the smokers to the designated smoking area given the number of kids in the area."

"The pool.and beach was excellent and food fresh, tasty and prepared carefully with people health in mind. A variety of meals are deliciously prepared daily at the hotel. Enough to choose from for every meal"

"Very accommodating, clean and friendly staff."

"Spacious clean air conditioned room. Buffet breakfast was delicious. Friendly and helpful staff. Grounds of the property were clean and perfectly maintained. Free shuttle to the private beach. Ambience at dinner in the evenings was superb 👌. "

"With the possible exception of some places in Italy, I have NEVER been to such a child-friendly environment. The staff were incredible and made us feel like home. It was like staying in a Jamaican uncle's house on the beach. We will definitely go back!"

"This hotel was not as Jamaican friendly/ catered much for authentic Jamaicans based on my experience. As an authentic Jamaican back home to vacation , the food was trash! Unfortunately that is what I was looking forward to the most. The beef served one of those nights was so tough, oh my gosh! Customer service for the most part was good. A young lady by the vegetarian bar was rude one day, not in what she said, but with her tone, and mannerism. It is good that the hotel has many activities planned daily, some of which I did enjoy. However, night life is mostly catered for the older population. This destination is for older white caucasians. There are a few restaurants on this property which my partner and I did sign up for: the only one we tried was the one in the sea( not remembering the name), nothing great about the food, and I felt this dining was rushed, so we just wasn’t interested in trying the others. I had hair services done here, ridiculously expensive, not worth it, well wasn’t for me! Maybe if your Caucasian it will be though, I observed they use their more skilled people to facilitate those requests. Five stars to housekeeping, checking in /out service, dance class team, ladies whom did the massage, front desk ladies at the spa…. that nice lady whom took the extra time to see if my partner and I wanted the massage done together as it was booked separately.
