Our stay at this resort was nothing short of amazing. The serene environment and private accommodations made it a perfect getaway for our anniversary. We enjoyed great dining experiences and beautiful beach access, though be prepared for some hefty prices in the restaurant. While the lack of activities nearby was noted, the tranquility was a lovely trade-off for us.

GoldenEye is a magical retreat where you can unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature combined with luxury. The rooms are unique, especially the beach hut where I stayed, but my experience at the Gazebo restaurant didn’t meet my expectations due to mediocre food and service. The service throughout the resort was exceptional, making my stay memorable. However, the long transit time from the airport and the limited evening dining options were minor inconveniences.

I spent a lovely time at the resort, enjoying the natural beauty surrounding the beach huts. The comfortable bed and relaxing atmosphere made for a perfect getaway. However, I found the menu options quite limited throughout our stay and noticed the service could be quite slow at times. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, but perhaps a little more attention to dining variety and staff would elevate it even more.

The two pools are lovely, but the one near the beach huts could use better airflow as it was not very inviting.

Our stay at Goldeneye had its ups and downs. The ambiance is stunning and the location is idyllic, offering a true Jamaican experience. However, we faced issues with check-in and construction noise, which made it less enjoyable. While the staff were mostly friendly and accommodating, the dining could get expensive. Overall, it's a beautiful place but not without its flaws.

Our stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The hotel offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere which we loved, but the service has noticeably declined and the dining options fell short of expectations. While we enjoyed the spacious and natural surroundings, the overall dining experience didn’t quite match our hopes for a place of this caliber.
