This was my third time staying at the Cardiff Hotel. It is very clean and comfortable. The atmosphere is peaceful and pleasant. The staff are always willing to help. My room had a balcony with chairs where I sat and enjoyed the beautiful view of trees and the ocean. The hotel grounds are well kept with lots of plants and fruit trees. Meals are served outside with the beautiful view. I had the breakfast plan. There was a variety to choose from each day. Breakfast was delicious. I chose traditional Jamaican menu items. During this stay, I used the hotel shuttle to go to the hotel's nearby private beach and I also had a wonderful massage in the spa. I stayed at the hotel for six nights and enjoyed each day.

We stayed 1 night. The room was very clean and the staff was polite. Our room was over looking the road so we could hear a dog barking most of the night and cars passing. Also the food was not the best.

First off, updating is necessary, both online and facilities, but staff and chef at the restaurant are great! Cardiff Hall has small, uncomfortable beds, with dogs barking all night long. Facilities have not been updated to accommodate for the disabled, as there are stairs and steps all over. Pool is decent, but too close to the main entrance. Management staff lacks customer service skills.

The best thing about this hotel is the staff. All are super friendly and helpful. Front desk, restaurant, cleaners, all great. If you are looking for a bustling resort packed with tourists and entertainment, this is not the place. It was quiet and peaceful. Spa service, massage and facial were great. Nice gym, although a bit of pain to request opening every time you want to use. Only drawback, they were renovating a part of the hotel so room was close to street side. A dog, maybe next door, barked several hours every night. I am a light sleeper so very disruptive.

The surroundings was very peaceful, and the breakfast was very good. I like the view of the city and the rooms are very spacious. However, I didn’t like that they were insects crawling about in the rooms. I don’t like that the security keeps asking me for my name and room number while clearly they should be better organized to retrieve this information

While the staff were friendly and did their best to make our stay comfortable, I would not return. Most amenities were not functioning or fully functional. Our bathroom had a major leak, the power outlets were loose causing devices to short etc. We ended getting a room change but it was filled with bugs. The food is okay and price is cheap compared to other hotels or same price range, wait staff were pleasant. One of my travel companions ID was left on the scanner during check-in and when staff found it, it did not occur to them to check their files and contact the guest. He had to drive 1.5 hrs each way to retrieve the ID when we realised it was missing.

I was impressed and pleased with the overall service. The front desk personnel’s were pleasant,receptive , polite and helpful. The room was very clean.The food was great the presentation and service alike.My only concern was transportation. When I booked via Expedia it stated that shuttle would be provided but I couldn’t get through to the hotel for confirmation so I had to take a taxi from the airport to the hotel . The hotelier did apologize for same.Guest service rep / Allano was exceptionally helpful and polite.This hotel is a hidden gem off the main road sitting on a hill with great view of the ocean.

This property is not very busy or large. Dinner is over at 9:30 and seems the bar closes very shortly after. The training staff is very good, they work hard and you can tell some of them are going to be really good one day.
