They start off by misleading you when you purchase an ocean front room. The hotel says the do not offer that type as a category. The rooms are small and outdated. The food was very good and the staff was friendly.

Jolly Beach is a great family and budget friendly place for the holidays. The staff is helpful and kind. Some of the rooms need updating (particularly the AC units) but when the beach is this perfect who stays in the room? All inclusive makes it easy for everyone to get what they need. Highly Recommend.

The rooms are from a 1940s era. There is no coffee maker nor a standard mini fridge in the room. The AC is a retrofitted chill water system with the controller making you feel you have temp control when there is just on/off as the temp control is fake. No bottled water available but you can get a glass of water when the bar is opened. The coffee area only opens at 6:30am but this is irregular. Asked front desk about it and was roughly told to go and buy a bottle of water in the grocery in the village. The food available is repetitively simple with the drinks being of unheard brands....don't touch the white wine! The gym has very dated equipment with no working treadmill. The natural beach is great though! All staff are afraid of the manager Murphy who just walks around reigning terror on staff but no interaction with clients...not even a good morning. If the beach was not so good , this place would have been shuttered long ago. Go as a last resort.

Worst vacation ever at Jolly Beach resort starting Christmas Eve 2024. I booked through Expedia, the only room available was a double twin. We were celebrating my friend’s milestone birthday, and they chose this resort. I called Expedia regarding the room change. I was told by Expedia's representative to ask for the change at the resort. Day 1-At check in I asked for a room change. I was told the resort was booked, and to check back in the morning. 1st room had twin beds (yes it was a twin bed like in a child’s room). My significant other pushed the 2 beds together. Due to the type of mattress, the edges were extremely hard. We couldn’t lie in the middle of the bed. Day 2-Christmas day the resort manager allowed the change to a king room that was above to restaurant. The new room was old with stained white tiles, but we just wanted a larger bed. After dinner while we’re unpacking, I opened the sliding closet door and the door fell off. The phone did not work. Water was gushing from of the ceiling above the onlyexit from our room. We got wet whenever we left our room. We were told we can get our previous room. My S/o declined. BTW Carla was rude. Day 3-The air conditioner stopped working. Day 4-Only the door and the leak was fixed. Some wait staff at the buffet at breakfast-time were not attentive. The pork chop at the Pizza factory “special dinner” gave 2 in our diarrhea. The pork chop also looked like it had factory grill marks, almost like a fast food burger

The property itself was nice. Not big, very well maintained. While there were staff members that were very nice and helpful, there were others that were not as friendly and seemed bothered when asked anything. Food options were not vast, but food itself for the most part was great. We were never hungry and looked forward to dining. The pizza restaurant requires reservations and is booked by 8am and the food is great. No entertainment during the day. We went in December so I dont know if that may change throughout the year. Our room was absolutely dated. Furniture was very old and breaking down, the tv had limited channels that you couldnt watch due to lack of cable. The bathroom was the worst of it. Disgusting, super small and the door was too big that it didnt close. We wore flipflops to shower and ran out immediately. Hot water worked great. As we walked thru the property, rooms were under construction, so if this improves, this place will be much better. If you’re looking for a more of a quiet getaway this may be the place once the rooms and bathrooms are updated

The property grounds are very well maintained and has one of the nicest/pettiest beaches on the island. Its a 5 minute walk to Jolly Harbour Marina, so it was very easy to get to excursion pick ups and offsite restaurants! The food options at the property were limited, no room service and no refrigerator/mini bar in room. For the price it was worth it.

Best Birthday Ever
This hotel is nice and is right on the beach. Don't listen to the negative reviews. Of course it needs to be remodeled but who cares. The room was nice, bed was soft, hot water, food was great, drinks were so good, location was perfect. A grocery store is a short 10 min walk. The hotel staff was so nice it was my birthday and they treated me like royalty. I will book this hotel again it saved me thousands of dollars compared to the other hotels.

My wife and I had an excellent experience. The staff is very pleasant and helpful, even remembering our names and preferences. What stood out was the fact that they facilitated our early check in and late check out by allowing us access to all facilities and meals during these times. The meals were of a very high caliber (special thanks to Carl, the head chef) and the drinks were professionally made (special shout out to Nichelle, and Phillip). There was always a security presence, even on the beach in the nights, so it was fantastic taking night dips and lounging under the stars (Hi to Lee) and despite being in the background they were always willing to assist. If I were forced to think of any shortcomings it would be that the wifi is very spotty, unless you are in the main public areas. Otherwise than that, it was a fantastic vacation and we will definitely return.
