Food options are not as advertised- restaurants closed 5 of the 7 days we were there. Housekeeping is 10.00 a day more. Beach area is nice but the property is run down and only having one restaurant and a pool grill daily is not what they advertised

The rooms were small but suited our needs just fine for a few days. The meals were terrific: tasty and bountiful. The staff were extremely kind and helpful in accommodating our needs (I was traveling with my elderly parents who needed assistance getting around the large property). We wished we could have stayed another week.

I recently stayed at Jolly Beach Resort for a week, hoping for a relaxing Caribbean getaway, but it turned into a nightmare from start to finish. What was supposed to be a budget-friendly all-inclusive turned out to be anything but, thanks to a combination of poor service, hidden charges, and subpar facilities. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. Right from check-in, the staff were extremely rude and unhelpful. They barely acknowledged us, and any questions we had were met with curt responses or eye rolls. It set a terrible tone for the entire trip. To make matters worse, they hit you with hidden fees left and right – things like “resort fees” that weren’t mentioned in the booking, extra charges for Wi-Fi that was advertised as free, and even surprise costs for using certain beach amenities. It felt like a scam designed to nickel-and-dime guests at every turn. The rooms were another major letdown. They don’t get cleaned daily, and there’s no proper housekeeping service at all. We had to dispose of our own garbage, trekking it down to some distant bin ourselves because no one would come to empty the trash cans. The AC didn’t work properly either; it was either blasting freezing air sporadically or not at all, leaving the room stuffy and uncomfortable in the tropical heat. And don’t get me started on the towels – we had to beg the front desk multiple times for new shower towels, as they weren’t replaced automatically and the ones provided were often damp or worn

Jolly Beach itself was absolutely stunning. The beach and views were the highlight of the entire trip; I’d return just for that alone. The resort itself is definitely on the older side. The room was very basic, with furniture made from concrete, and while the bathroom was functional, there was nothing luxurious about it but was very clean! There was no fridge or microwave in the room, and guests are discouraged from bringing food back to their rooms. That said, the staff; especially in the dining areas; were very warm and accommodating. What really stood out was how clean everything was. Despite the dated feel, the grounds were exceptionally well maintained. The pool is lovely with a swim up bar. The bar closes at 4:30pm though (even though it says 5pm). If you're going for the beach and a relaxing, no-frills experience, this is a great spot. Just set your expectations for the rooms accordingly.

We stayed in a room on the beach level, and it was great— beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. The pool area was lovely, and the gardens were well maintained and stunning. Overall, it was a great experience. The only downside was the buffet food. Unfortunately, we found it inedible and had to stick to fresh fruits and meat cooked on the BBQ for dinner. Even the salad wasn’t appealing. That was really the only issue during our stay.
