Sea Garden Beach Resort March 2024

This hotel is nasty. Just got back and will never stay there again. The food sucks, the place is dirty, very run down. Hot water and pressure are hit and miss. Towels and face cloths you have to beg for. The service sucks everywhere. We did notice on Sunday there seemed to be a skeleton crew working meaning really slow helping people, not enough happy employees. The beach is the only savour for this hotel. It is nice. We enjoyed it. There are kayaks, floating mats and snorkel gear included with your paid stay. Service was slow at the beach but drinks and food are good. They have burgers, dogs, fries, grilled cheese, jerk chicken and pork. They have a DJ there playing music most times. If you are a plane watcher the jets fly past landing at the airport. I knew booking this hotel it was rated a 3 star but found out it is way worst for real. I would rate this property at 1.5 it’s bad. The buffet needs more selection only 3 meat to choose from and mostly spicy jerk so if you don’t love jerk your screwed. Very repetitive every day and night. A lot of trip hazards around the property watch your step. Big lineups to get food and when it goes it takes a while before it’s replaced. Bed in room was ok and clean but the room very dated and old. We booked a garden view room but got a construction view room. We could not sit out on the balcony at all. The mini fridge was not stocked with water, beer or pop. Housekeeping would give you 2 bottles of water a day if you were out. If you had water you got none. Ac worked good in the room to sleep.. No ac in the dining room buffet area very hot in there not nice Only 120 deg inside while you sit to eat your dinner. There was a lady who passed out from the heat inside the buffet. The owner of this place need to fix a lot of things and a lot of upgrades. We will be back to the area but to a better resort next time. If you are looking into travelling to Montego Bay look for a better resort. Do yourself a favour. Don’t listen to the reviews stating that everything is great cause it’s not. This is my honest review. Stayed here for 7 days March 2024.
Loved our vacation!

Amazing beach. Availability of kayaks, snorkeling equipment, and puddle boards were the huge plus for us. Nice pool and hot tub. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The only minor minus was food: would love to see more choices of fresh vegetables, fruit, and more seafood choices. The guy on the beach who is doing daily aerobics is the best!
Brilliant holiday!

We stayed here for 10 days end February/early March. After reading mixed reviews beforehand I decided we really needed to keep an open mind. We were not disappointed! What a fantastic location! We had a room overlooking the sea - sooo many different colours of the sky throughout the day/evening. Just a short crossing of the road( where there was mostly a guy to stop any traffic) - we were at the beach. Many sun beds available and a great bar providing a selection of plentiful snacks throughout the day accompanied by music and fun competitions for those who wished to take part. The room was spacious, clean and tidy, the shower was great with oodles of hot water and fluffy white towels always on hand. The pool area was very clean - again a snack bar was open all day long providing a variety of hot snacks and plentiful tea and coffee facilities for you to help yourself to. The bar by the pool was also open all day till 10pm ( after that there was a further bar open at the disco area). Entertainment in the evening was really very good - a variety including a great band and some fantastic singers. The main restaurant area was clean and tidy - food very good - a good variety and yes of course after 10 days - we did see same dishes being offered but there was something there for everyone. Staff generally were lovely - of course there were one or two who could seem hard work but maybe we all need to remember it depends on how YOU treat staff in the first place! I heard a few instances of customers speaking in such a rude manner - it really made me cringe. I guess at the end of the day - you’ll never please everyone. There were a couple of minor issues with our room that should have been dealt with in a timely manner which were not but overall I have given 5 stars for this hotel and not done lightly as trust me - I am a hard person to please!

Garrison at the gym was extremely helpful, and he showed us around the gym, explained the fitness classes, and showed us the schedule. Fitness Center has lots of good equipment as well as great staff who will help you with your workouts and give you tips.
Welcomed and comfort

Loved the beach, wonderful snorkeling! Stopped at Jamaican grocery before arriving. Bought water, powerade, soft drinks, and blue mountain coffee, with snacks. Such a big help! Felt safe at resort. You're not going to get pizza at dinner, steak, shrimp, lobster (at the buffet) different breads, a good wine with dinner. What you are going to get is healthy, well seasoned foods. Not a huge amount of different foods(except desserts) but good at what they do have! Kindness and cleanliness means so much! This is not a 5 star hotel but neither are you being charged for a 5 star hotel. I will be returning. Thank you for your hospitality!
