Relaxed, I will be back!!
Pros:

The breakfast, lunch and dinner were always fantastic. A lot of variety for people who like different things. The variety at breakfast was great. Eggs any way you would like them, fresh cracked. Omelette had so many options to add to it. Callaloo was very good (first time trying it) great to add to your eggs. There was french toast, pancakes, & toast as well as baked beans and sausage. For dinner's, the meat was A++ fall off the bone beef ribs, jerk chicken, jerk pork, beef stew to name a few as well as fish. There was always a fresh salad or coleslaw, fresh steamed vegetables, the mashed potatoes were top notch. Some days there were cheeseburgers and fries, and the desserts were great, some days we had ice cream and there was different cheesecakes and red velvet cake to name a few. The bar had many different variety of drinks. Always great service between the servers, the chefs and wait staff. The beach was right at your tip toes. Easy access, beautiful clean sand, and the water was warm and refreshing salt water. The security was always around, making sure the beach hustlers kept it moving if you weren't interested. Everyone at Merrill's always greeted you, they would always have a smile on their face and be happy to see you. I felt like I was treated like family, maybe even better then. I wanted to give a shout out to Johnoi, Arvon, Marlin, Barbara, Charlie, Bunny, Diego (fist bump), Glen, Krystal, Myree (thank you for always getting us our chairs on the beach) Yvon, Shamoy, Germane. (spelling of names, sorry =/) We had an over all fantastic trip and I look forward to coming back in the near future.

Cons:

Nothing towards the resort itself. Just have to be mindful of the hustlers on the beach, sometimes they over extend their stay if security does not see them. Otherwise around great resort. I miss the people and the atmosphere.

Aceptable. Muy buena la ubicación.
Pros:

Es un complejo pequeño con habitaciones cómodas y amplias. Muy limpio. En general, la mayoría del personal, muy amable.
Playa excelente .., con reposeras de sobra .

Cons:

Está catalogado cómo “all inclusive”, la verdad que corresponde más a “pensión completa”.., ya que cuenta solo con 3 comidas, sujetas a determinado horario y con muy pocas variantes.., pero muy buena igualmente..
Específicamente, y esto es lo peor que nos pasó, no salí de mi asombro por el destrato recibido específicamente por una empleada q solo atendía en el bar, no sabemos su nombre, es una muchacha de contextura física bastante grande, realmente muy grosera.., no solo que no respondía nunca a los saludos, sino que actuaba cómo si le molestara que le pidiéramos algo ..( no tomábamos más de 2 gaseosas, ni siquiera tragos, x día ..), realmente esta persona fue lo peor de la estadía.. El resto del personal, muy amable ..

Bien mais bruyant sur la terrasse et sur la plage car le patron met la music à fond.
Cons:

Le patron vous met la music a fond sur la terrasse il faut oublier la sieste sur la plage car il ne la diminue pas et ne met que ce qui lui plait. Un désastre pour le calme.

Immer wieder gern.
Pros:

Wir waren schon öfters hier, super Lage und es gefällt uns immer wieder sehr gut. Man darf keinen Luxus erwarten, aber sauber und für unseren Geschmack völlig ok. Das Buffet ist überschaubar, aber man findet immer etwas.

Cons:

Wer es sehr ruhig mag, sollte am anderen Abschnittes des Beaches buchen, da die Musik aus umliegenden Bars oder Hotels doch oft gut zu hören ist.

Perfect!
Pros:

The stay was simply perfect! The hotel’s atmosphere is incredibly cozy, and the food at every meal is delicious, offering both continental options and traditional Jamaican cuisine. There is a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages on the menu for you to enjoy. The facilities are excellent, with reliable Wi-Fi, and a beachfront setting with everything you need to spend the entire day by the sea. I would especially like to highlight the kindness and warm smiles of all the hotel staff, who truly make the stay a unique experience!

Cons:

I couldn’t think of any negative points.

Basically the beach saved the trip
Pros:

The beach and location

Cons:

Food was the same daily or similar and not great! The wifi was terrible, we had no hot water and despite making the staff aware no one did anything about it. Most the staff were friendly but some were rude! It was so loud every night hardly slept! no beach towels were available until our last day...
