We spent a wonderful week at San Souci and would love to return again one day. Everything about it was great. Lovely spacious room expertly cleaned by Ivaney every day along with a hug if she saw us! Great food in all the restaurants and the service was exceptional. The lady who sang while she makes the omelettes in the morning was fabulous and made for a lovely start to the day. The staff put so much effort into arranging the Gala Night and Caribbean night which miraculously had been totally cleared by the morning! The grounds are immaculately maintained. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and seemed to enjoy their work. The evening entertainment was much better than we have experienced in other Caribbean hotels. Well placed for visiting attractions in the Ocho Rios area. Apart from the air con being a bit on the cold side at times, we really had no complaints.

Amazing resort! Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and lovely food! A huge thank you to all the staff who made our stay what it was… perfect! Ashley (who runs the entrainment) is a huge credit to the resort. She is just wonderful and made the effort to speak with everyone. Lloyd and Omar (trainee) bar staff were amazing! Always so friendly, always smiling and provided a great service whilst enjoying the pool bar. Nisam (I hope this is correct) our housekeeper was brilliant! Our room was kept immaculately clean and bed made every day which felt lovely getting into every evening! Probably the most comfiest bed we have stayed in whilst on holiday! Thank you! We will be back! X

This place is seriously top notch and thoroughly recommend. The grounds are just paradisiacal, almost like a high polished rain forest. We were in G Block and we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else as you are high up with a sweeping view of the bay, a long balcony and right by the elevator taking you down towards the mineral pool. The room itself is newly renovated, excellent air con although it did omit a mouldy smell that was omnipresent, we weren’t in the room much so quickly got over it. Free mini bar, free bottles spirits etc. the room is large, lots of hanging hooks, double wardrobe, double sinks which are a few of the excellent features. Maybe slightly sterile and stark but it was up to modern standards by a large degree. Room service was all included, speedy and high quality….we had so many club sandwiches! Eating breakfast on the balcony was next level with the views. Short walk to reception, the coffee bar and Casanova. Talking of the coffee bar, which seems very much underused, they serve Blue Mountajn coffee and it really is exquisite, iced coffees and frappes in that heat go hand in hand. All...

Talking of the coffee bar, which seems very much underused, they serve Blue Mountajn coffee and it really is exquisite, iced coffees and frappes in that heat go hand in hand. All restaurants are of a very high quality, we never had a bad meal. We preferred Casanova (the trousers policy is unnecessary) but it’s fine dining and you can order as much as you want. Dining under the stars was unforgettable. Palazzina was also amazing and a great view over the lawn. Breakfast is served there, great servers (ask for a cappuccino or espresso rather than the free pouring plain coffee) the selection can be a bit boring but there’s always something even if you just want a fresh juice made for you. The singing egg lady is iconic with her “welcome to breakfast” no matter how early. Lunch was best at Palazzina, the fajitas and Philly steak sandwiches were sublime. Lunch at the beach restaurant was ok, I was not mad keen in it but being inches away from baby blue and turquoise water was quite something. We loved dinner at Bella Visa, the chef is Indian and his Mekhanis were world class. We like to eat late, so took the 8:30pm slots…..by 9:30pm the staff were kinda looking like it was time for us to go……I get that as they just want to go home so we tried to hurry (but the food and atmosphere was so good it was hard!). Of course, all inclusive drinks and they are all premium brands….try the Bob Marley cocktail!! We loved the beach but shade is at a premium and this must be addressed IMHO. We did get some if you get up early and claim the shady areas. The sea is shallow and the sand super fine, even powder like. Snorkelling is disappointing. Water sports exceptional. The pool area is lovely and lots of activity going on at the bar. Whirlpool is far too hot!!! The mineral pool was divine but no where near enough sun beds!!! The veggie bar was good but some items always out of stock which got annoying. The let was the Jamaican and gala nights. It was impossible to get the same intimate atmosphere going compared to the restaurants, the food was an amazing quality but just got picked at a lot with entertainment not quite my style. I missed dining with my loved ones and was forced in to these events. We tried out the AN side and although it was very lovely and relaxing, it lacked the same high end nature compared to the textile side. Lunch was very underwhelming for example. There’s a lot of Americans grouping together and getting obliterated on booze. I did notice some of the guests bringing in that 80% ovenproof rum in, hiding their empty bottles not very well. That being said, it’s very private (perhaps not on the shoreline) and nice to have a dip in the pool and return back to the textile side for better creature comforts. We did hire a car and saw as much of Jamaica as we could, and would very much recommend! Overall our stay for 10 days were unforgettable, an impressive property and would go back in a heartbeat (even sooner if the airport drive was shorter!)
