I enjoyed my stay at Jolly Beach resort. The food and the beach were breathtaking. Very quiet area so great for rest and relaxation. Some of the staff like Karla, Jason, and Keon were super helpful. However, not all of the staff was very friendly. I would still this resort 10/10 due to the lovely beach and relaxing atmosphere. I will looking forward to staying here again on my next holiday.

This property was very rundown, outdated and dirty. I have stayed at many reports in the past. The rooms are typically outdated, but this “resort” was beyond disappointing. One couple had sever bedbug bites. They had to go to the hospital for treatment. They ended up moving to another hotel. The mosquitoes and sand fleas were crazy. We had to purchase bug repellent outside of the resort because they did not have any. We also were unable to eat at a couple of the restaurants because they were closed. I do understand this is the rainy season, but they were not prepared with staff or supplies to handle it. I was told that there were only 176 people at the resort during our stay. Money guest had to be moved to other rooms due to flooding in their room. One couple had to be moved from a garden room to an ocean view room because of flooding and the resort charge them an upgrade fee for the ocean view. Four other people that we met left four days early due to the conditions, the lack of staff and the manager’s inability to control the situation. It would have been helpful if signs were posted saying that certain restaurants were closed. The pool bar was only open one day when we were there because there was pooling water behind the bar. A suggestion would be to dry it up. There was garbage in the walkways the entire time we were there. It was the same garbage. No one had cleaned it up. Overall, this hotel/resort was a complete fail. Never stay here.

Good stay

The resort was not as upscale as I was excepting from looking at the pictures, however it was also a lot less expensive compared to the other resorts and hence, made it worth it. The swimming pool, bar service and breakfast, along with the beach were excellent. Absolutely loved the beach - it felt sheltered, calm waters and very relaxing. I would recommend this place for the price factor along with the private beach access.

Food was limited but very good. Staff was phenomenal. Redort is very dayed 70's & 80's. Lots of small pieces of shells in the sand. The water/sea was not clear but that was because of the storms. There was ansolutely no seaweed. Entertainment was good. Especially the steel pan band.

Property is old and outdated...definitely could use revamping. The spa staff was horrible booked a group of 4 massages and no one ever showed up. Overall experience was ok but I would not stay at this resort again or recommend it to anyone. Food was awful and the alcohol was bottom shelf. Staff was friendly and helpful but could only do so much with limited resources.

This hotel was horrible. It was very old and outdated. It looked like it seen better days back in the 90's and early 2000's. There was no nightly entertainment. The tv's barely had any channels and didn't come in clear. The glasses in the dining area were very old and cloudy looking. The pictures posted on the site were very decieving and the hotel wanted me to pay for an upgrade which wasnt much better.

We stayed here 6 days. The positives: property is clean & great location. All rooms face the ocean. Beach is beautiful, pools are clean, plenty of loungers, pool towels. Mixed drinks were fantastic! Staff is friendly…especially the ladies at the tour-desk! Sunsets were amazing! Negatives: the property is old. And not ‘vintage’ old, just…outdated. The toilet plumbing resort-wide is questionable. (We were told by multiple people that the tap water is filtered, we drank it with zero issues). The rooms are TINY. We are average build and had to turn sideways to walk between the bed and dresser. I have no idea how more than 2 people could fit in one room. These are ‘no frills’ rooms. Mattress is ok, and they don’t clean rooms during ur stay. You have to ask for fresh towels. Food was decent..the first 2 days. Then it’s just repetitive. They rotated 2 restaurants for dinner, so you had to ask daily where to eat. It didn’t matter because you will be choosing from the same variety every meal, everyday. Limited lunch items. We ate burgers & chicken by the pool most days. Several areas weren’t open on site & the gift shop was rarely open during posted hours. All eating is outside or open-air dining. They need ceiling fans! I should add: there was nightly entertainment. Singing, music etc. our absolute favorite was the steel drum band! It was awesome! Transportation was available onsite, for extra fee, but made it very convenient! Overall it was quiet & relaxing! Solid 3 stars.

We were leaving for a sail on Saturday so we stayed there one night as it’s very close. Staff was very pleasant and accommodating, but the resort is very dated and the check in process fair. The food options at the buffet for dinner and lunch were limited, but I’m guessing that’s because it was low season. Still feel it could have been better. The large pool is very nice and has a shaded area near the swim up bar.
