Everything. A wonderful place hidden in a wild garden. Beautiful beaches. Private island. Excellent restaurant. The most luxurious hotel I have visited in Jamaica.

Shower with handle for my girl. She has very long hair and need it for wash.

The property was amazing. It was so large so you can spread out and feel comfortable.

The food on the property and drinks are exceptional expensive.

The location was beautiful and scenic. The rooms were excellent. There were numerous pools and beaches on site. The property has a huge lagoon where my wife and I paddle boarded, kayaked, and saw sea turtles. This was truly an unforgettable destination.

Nothing.

Liked having real Jamaican breakfast as an option

wonderful snorkeling with sea turtle spotted. live evening entertainment.

Our driver Pops was great. Safe and interesting. Breakfast was excellent. Lots of different areas to relax

I thought the room cost of $1250 per night was quite high

Everything was exceptional. Best hotel I've ever been to.

Being charged a service fee for a drinks that I ordered at the bar and took to my table myself.

52 acres of beautiful grounds. A wonderful hotel made even more special by the fact that Ian Fleming lived here and wrote all his 14 James Bond novels in one of the hotel's villas. Beach huts a great option and worth the upgrade to be on cove or lagoon. Excellent breakfasts. Special event dinners complemented excellent menu in Bizot restaurant which is by the sea. Very friendly staff throughout the resort. Beautiful beaches within hotel grounds serviced by cocktail bar and beach restaurant for lunch Inclusive kayak, paddleboard, snorkelling and tennis. Easy to book taxi transfers and day trips etc through reception.

Dinner options will increase when refurbishment of the second restaurant is completed. Need taxi to access anywhere off-site e.g. local restaurants etc.

everything grounds, people , location. the place is magical - very good energy there .

nothing.

The lunch at Button beach (in a shack run by the hotel) was excellent. The staff everywhere, including in landscaping, and their attention to details were outstanding! They really worked from the heart and effortlessly on back-to-back shifts to make every guest’s experience a fabulous one. We loved the design of the accommodations. The landscaping was brilliantly done, a little bit of tropical garden plants with the grandeur of nature. It had the right amount of Bond and Flemming, ever-present but not over the top. Lastly, we loved our fellow travelers. Great conversations with lovely families.

To be honest, the breakfast and dinner could have been a little more authentic Jamaican. We went all the way to Jamaica to get a real Jamaican experience that includes the food, music and beverage. It does not need to be watered down and made “touristy“. We had to request the kitchen to create our own breakfast based on previous Jamaican experience to keep it real. The same for the music – my husband and I often went to the DJ station to play the current Jamaican music. The main beach was cordoned off with stones, which kills the tide and gives rise to slime.

The views

The Goldeneye estate is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. Remote and private, apart from meals you feel like you are the only person there. We loved our daily kayak through the crystal clear lagoon. The rooms are big, clean and comfortable. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Unfortunately everything else is 3 stars. Staff, whilst friendly, lack training. As other reviews have noted, food was disappointing, you are paying London fine dining prices for home comfort style food. Hotel transfer is also double the market rate. NB: During covid there are limited dining options and the glass bottom boat excursion is unavailable.

It’s not what we expected it’s changed from when we came before

No hot water, no bread at the table Nothing in our mini bar, staff is wonderful

The location was perfect I love that that was the ability to Canoe And paddle-board in the lagoon. As well as snorkel

The beauty and nature
