SeaGarden Beach Resort

We stayed here last-minute, for a few nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The whole place has a really nice, old-worldly feel to it; the rooms are a little dated but they are very well kept and in keeping with the whole feel. The location is very handy and there is a really picturesque private beach area directly across the road - it's also fun watching the planes land and the fishermen out at sea in the mornings. The food is really good and authentic and the staff were really lovely (particularly Blacks on the beach and the really sweet nurse from Antigua.) Being a small hotel you really get to interact with fellow guests and staff alike. On the whole it's a really nice Jamaican-owned hotel, a fact we really liked and we would definitely return,

We enjoyed our stay. The resort was smaller than what we are used to which was nice. More personalized service. It made it easier to meet the other guests. The staff was always there to help. The beach and beach bar were fantastic. The jerk chicken and pork were delicious. Our room had a patio and a beautiful garden view. The only thing we were disappointed with was the food selection on the buffet. Very repetitive and bland. Other than that we had a wonderful stay and will return.

Wonderful small resort. Has a beautiful private beach beach with calm waters. This is a small resort, so you have a chance to get to know other travellers. Rooms are clean and bright. Ask for the ocean view rooms as the ones overlooking the pool can be noisy Food was good but repetitive,

Let me start by saying the staff is friendly. The place is clean. If you are on the ocean side, the view is nice. This place is technically all inclusive but not like other places we have been. Certain places are only open until certain times. Then they close and something else opens up. Also, no room service, huge let down. They don’t refill your fridge either when cleaning the room. The room was large but nothing special. Hot water and good water pressure but the sinks and toilets all make noise. The dinner and breakfast buffet are large but lack a lot of flavor and seasoning. The drinks all taste the same and something we got we couldn’t finish. No matter what you order, it all tastes the same. All used with syrups instead of really fruit and fruit juices. The burger at the beach bar is very thin, over cooked. The jerk chicken flavor is good but lots of gristle and bone to pick through. We had “the suite” and this room was so loud. People on the street are revving up cars, flying down the road, yelling, playing music, hollering at you to come down and smoke weed until 11pm atleast. They have their own beach but it’s not technically connected to the hotel. You have to cross the street and go through a gate to get to it. Not terrible but you could be bothered by ppl on the street trying to sell you something. The pool is small but nice. The entertainment is nice. The hot tub is nice but in general, it’s not what we expected. In Mexico all inclusive they walked around and took food and drink orders, you could get food all day and all night. Definitely not that type of place if that’s what you want. Apparently it’s locally owned so you are supporting the economy which is nice but I wouldn’t stay in the “suite” again along the road. It’s just way too loud. Also, to the person who said the noise of the airport is non existent. You lied. It sounds like the planes are landing on the roof of the hotel. And when they take off, that’s even louder. Definitely not a quiet hotel if that’s what you are looking for. Stay north of the airport or further south.

Our room was in the annex overlooking the main entrance garden area. With the exception of the tree toads squeaking like old rusty wheel from 6:30pm to about 11:30pm, this was beautiful. Latoya took exceptional care of us and our room! Rushell took exceptional care of us in the main buffet restaurant as did Lisa and Titania! For the entertainment, kudos to all the staff that kept people involved in the fun and big hello to Matilda-Danny-Sash! There could be more on the schedule around the resort but the people are friendly and helpful and willing to assist in a full experience in Jamaica! Delroy will help you to get a good taxi/guide and has much knowledge of where to and not go in Montego! Do try to stick to the local craft markets and away from the more touristy shops on the strips. Watch the local t.v. stations to see where the locals shop. Stay at Jamaican owned facilities and keep the dollars in the hands of the locals. You'll know it's local when you see all the staff in the store! Non locals definitely stick out! The snorkelling around the resort beaches is excellent! Lovely private areas on the beaches!
