Sunset at
the Palms was not only highly recommended as offering one of the best
all-inclusive Jamaica Vacation packages, but was also
voted one of the
best romantic destinations.
Travelers loved:
- The incredibly warm, friendly and professional staff.
- The intimate
low-key romantic ambiance and lack of crowds.
- The rustic
bungalow accommodation, beautiful wooden
furniture and luxurious bathrooms.
- The beach
– Sunset at the Palms owns the centre piece of
Bloody Bay which is the best part with incredibly clear warm water.
Travelers disliked:
- The beach is
located across the street – but there is a
guard to stop the traffic!
- The noisy
frogs and crickets at times.
- The live
entertainment often stopped around 10pm. There was
no disco and the only thing to do was sit at the bar and socialize with
other guests.
- There was WiFi
internet access in the lobby but not in the
individual rooms.
- The resort is a
little way out of the main resort area and taxis
could be expensive.
- The bars
lacked branded spirits, but the bartenders made up
for it with their amazing concoctions!
Tips for Staying at the Sunset at the Palms:
- The private beach belonging to the resort has fine sand in
the centre of Bloody Bay which is generally
calm and ideal for all
types of non-motorized watersports.
- Sunsets at
Rick’s Café above Negril Beach are legendary.
Sip cocktails and watch locals dive off the 50 foot high cliffs or
enjoy the local reggae music.
- Take a guided
walk around the resort grounds with the head
gardener and learn the names of the exotic tropical flowers.
- Spa
treatments, motorized sports and lobster dinner
specials are all provided for an additional surcharge, but make the
vacation extra special.
- The best
months to visit are between November and April,
but Jamaica vacation packages can also take advantage of the warm
temperatures during the rainy season when heavy afternoon showers soon
pass.
Recommendation:
Don’t be put off by the 3 ½ star rating. This is a
lovely resort with
high standards of food and service.
As far as Jamaica all inclusive
vacation packages go, the Sunset at the Palms is
ideal for couples and
small groups. It is not the best choice for children or
young adults
looking for some wild parties.
