Such an amazing stay
The condo is such a good size for a couple or a family with small children. Having 2 full bathrooms was a game changer for a vacation. The condo was fully stocked with everything we could need and we would definitely return here anytime. The customer support has been amazing. They answered every question we had and provided us with information on any concerns that we had to try to make sure our vacation was everything that we needed it to be.

Beautiful Place on Beach in Jamaica
This Property is exactly as it looks in the pictures on VRBO. Everything you need for a week or two in Jamaica. This is part of the Jewel Grand Resort - so you can have the best of both worlds when it comes to food and drink. You have the option to buy the all-inclusive package or go to the grocery store and cook in the apartment...or even better - cook some meals and then use the resort restaurants and just pay as you go. The prices are very reasonable. Judith and Ray were extremely attentive hosts. Any issues were quickly resolved. We look forward to our next trip to this place.

The property was a lovely setting, the most beautiful sunsets and view of the ocean. I loved starting and ending my day with the ocean views. The property was clean, quiet, and had all the necessary items to feel comfortable for a weeks vacation. The owners were kind, attentive, and available to assist with any needs such as grocery shopping & transportation- most helpful service. We loved it so much we booked again! Thank you!!

Best view and access to beach
We went to celebrate our 30th anniversary to enjoy time with each other. We were greeted very warmly which continued throughout our stay. Our servers made us feel special each time we went dining. The was a good selection of places to eat. The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. We enjoyed the non-motorized water activities, the pools, watching volleyball and the spa. Mostly enjoyed sitting out on the oceanfront balcony seeing the sun rise and set and listening to the ocean waves.

Me and my husband booked this apartment for a week. We had such a great time. This apartment is in 4 star Jewels Grand resort and it has amazing restaurants with private beach. It looks exactly like in pictures. I would strongly recommend this place. I would love going back there next week. Judith is a very sweet and nice person. Our flight got canceled and they were able to accommodate for another night.

This unit was just as it is presented. Clean, well stocked with a beautiful view. Check in was smooth. I slept so comfortably in the bed. The shower had amazing pressure and temp. The television worked perfectly. I wish the bedroom had one. This particular building has less activity than than the others but its a short walk to entertainment and food. Its a stretch for those needing handicapped accessibility as you must take stairs to quickly access beach and restaurants. You can leave through front but its more walking distance that way with no vibe. If I come to Montego Bay again, I would definitely book this unit. I would take advantage of having groceries and drinks prestocked before my arrival. Grocery shopping took time away from the fun. I enjoyed the spa hot tub and salt room the most. There was nightly entertainment and there is some non-motorizedsports. I only saw people take advantage of one of the water activities the entire trip. Its not a party resort from what I experienced. Its relaxing and laid back. Margaritaville is close for the club scene. I found some of the popular activities such as Ricks Cafe, Dunns River Falls and Appleton Estates were a far distance away. Staff were very pleasant, helpful and professional.

This place needs some upgrading
Comments about Jewel Grande condo Cons: No tv in the bedroom. Bedroom Balcony door and one of the windows didn’t open They do offer dishes but the cabinets appear unkempt so it’s a bit concerning to use the Items. Ceiling fan needs balancing. There’s a new one in the closet that just needs to be installed. Needs painting to improve the cleanliness and reduce odors. The place smells muggy and “like an old person’s home”. No cleaning supplies were offered. This Place needs dish washing liquid, laundry detergent, etc. If I had been given cleaning supplies I would have cleaned this place myself. (It needed it badly) all the door surfaces and bathroom floors were visibly dirty. Bathroom sink also has a slow drain. You have to run the water slowly in order to avoid clogging the sink. There’s also significant amount of calcium buildup on the bathroom sink countertop. Shower needs to be steam cleaned and the mildew in the bathroom is excessive. Shower head needs some good cleaning to remove the calcium build-up as well. Not sure how this place would ever be clean enough to be considered a COVID approved facility. Needs up grading. The musky odors are likely from the furniture. We ended up using one set of towels to have a place to sit on the couch to watch tv. FYI. Replacement towels are $35/set The Jewel Grande: cons The food at the Jewel Grande was not very good either. The best meal was the breakfast buffet offered at the Orchids restaurant. The remaining meals were a bit tasteless and at times not worth eating. We aren’t big on alcohol so we noticed the food inconsistencies. Pros: Staff that assisted with this individual property were great. Provided assistance with transportation to and from the hotel. Answered questions immediately as well. The Jewel Grande staff: The guys with the catamaran rental were awesome. They made the experience so enjoyable. I had a decent time with the ladies at the Grande Spa. Of course it was resort prices for a couples massage and mani/pedi but overall a good time. The Jewel Grande staff in general were helpful and extremely friendly.

Amazing
First time traveling to Jamacia and it was AMAZING! The room was exactly how it is pictured, the views are breathtaking, everyone is SUPER friendly, and we could not have asked for a better trip! The driver who picked us up from the airport was so friendly and helpful. If you want to go anywhere call him, he will take you. The resort is amazing, and the food and drinks are amazing. We did not do the all-inclusive, but even without it, we did not spend much money on food. If you are not a big drinker the all-inclusive personally is not necessary. The owners a very responsive, answered all my questions and were very helpful with setting up the ride to and from the airport. I will be back :)

Romantic Couples Getaway
Our husband and I could not have picked a better place for our romantic getaway in Montero Bay. The “front and center” views of the ocean and the breezes translated to immediate relaxation for us!! We visit Jamaica every 1-2 years and usually stay in an all-inclusive. This unit provided a better option for us. We liked having the option of preparing our own meals or eating at the resort’s restaurants. All meals at the restaurants were top notch. For our own prepared meals, we opted to have our driver stop at Progressive supermarket. I suspected that the selection would be limited due to pandemic supply shortages, but was surprised that the supermarket was so well-stocked. It had a good selection of wines, beers, rums and liquors. We were able to enjoy all of the entertainment from the comfort of our own balcony. While we were there, there were steel drum players and various themed musical evenings. All finish at or before 9pm, which we appreciated so that we could get some much needed rest after all-day sun and activities. The unit had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. Kitchen was well-stocked. It has a toaster, a kettle, and a coffee maker. Microwave oven, plenty of cookware, table settings, and utensils. The unit has a washer and dryer, but we did not use it because our stay was only 4 nights. Purchase detergent at Progressive if you plan use them. The bed is comfortable and we had ample linens for the two of us. The unit has an iron and hairdryers. The beach was lovely. There are paddle boards, kayaks, and small catamarans that we did not use but saw many families enjoy. Rose Hall Great House is very close by. We highly recommend the tour ($25USD) for historical context and breathtaking garden and ocean views. The spa is a must for anyone wanting to relax. It is secluded, peaceful, and has a private mineral pool in a lush garden. The spa offers a variety of treatment options. One of the best things we found out as we arrived, was that the resort has its own COVID antigen testing clinic for the required test needed to return to the US. The test was quick and we received our results within a few hours the same day via email. Wifi is available and strong everywhere even at the beach. Cost of the test is $60USD pp. To summarize, we would highly recommend this unit for couples looking to relax and feel pampered. Staff is welcoming and friendly. The owner of the unit, Judith, is very responsive. :)

The condo was even nicer in person with a gorgeous ocean view. This place is a steal especially if you compare the pricing to the resorts. It also allowed us to cook our own means as I have ulcerative colitis and have a restricted diet. Judith was super responsive and made the entire experience easy and less stressful. She was very flexible with fates when I had a flight cancelation due to weather. I would 100% stay here again!

Looking for real R & R (with no distractions)
Decided to break the beaten path of all inclusive and chose to rent this condo on the beach. As others have written it's extremely quiet hardly anyone on the beach . Although there is a pool side bar we chose to bring down our drinks in a cooler as we were prepared in advance as we knew what to expect. As owners of a recreational property back home you make your list and come prepared as this is not a hotel and you can't expect all the services and amenities . The beach is a nice sandy beach there is a problem with weeds and they did miss one day therefore it gets quite full in certain areas. You have to be mindful in the water and we did come across some rocks. The concierge service "Dereck" was outstanding tending to our concerns on day of arrival as the network was down so no room keys, no internet service and later came to our room to figure out what was wrong with the cable t.v.. He addressed each and every concern we had promptly and same day. The 1 bedroom condo is spacious and comfortable with a great view of the ocean from the balcony. We enjoyed breakfast and a couple meals from there. Having dinner on the balcony at night was romantic and peaceful. The pillows were a bit uncomfortable so if you can bring yours I would suggest it. We preferred shutting the air conditioner off to sit on the balcony as it's very loud when running. There were a couple of days of super breezes anyways and preferred that sound of the waves crashing the beach. At night we would turn it back on as you will need it to sleep . In regards to groceries our transportation that was arranged for $30.00 made two stops for us the first one for authentic beef patties which was near Scotchies , and the second was Progressive Food supermarket. Be prepared as you may not find all your favourites here and its very expensive . We did dine out a couple of nights and most restaurants do provide complimentary shuttle service to and from. You will find a lot of construction work refurbishing the building as the new owners have a third up which i heard was going to be a hotel and everything has to be ready by June/July. They don't interfere with your stay and we did not find it loud at all. It's a nice property and worth repeating for a different vacation time .
