"The Azul is a wonderful property on excellent beach front "7 mile beach Nigril". The staff, cleansiness of the Property were great. There is activities for all age to enjoy. I first encountered a long 1.5 hours wait time to get my room. We were disappointed with the food selection. Very little authenticity of the Jamaican food basic "jerk chicken". Quality of food was poor. Staff in all the departs I encountered were welcoming pleasant and accommodating. Management address the meals, good food is key to a great vacation."

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel 39 is situated in a great location on the hip Strip. The rooms are clean , fantastic staff, pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is served with choices of American and Jamaican food. The servings are good and keeps you filled untill late afternoon. A great start to your day. Parking space is available. Burger King is a 2 minute walk so is margaritaville. On the main and accessible to public transportation. There is a bar / lounge located close by and music plays until about 1 or 2 am, but only will affect the room that are ocean view. If you are in the back the noise is much less bothersome. Will return in the future if the price is in my budget. ."
