Great staff including the security personnel. The breakfast of local Jamaican dishes was wonderful. I am encouraged that the local farmers are benefiting from the Tourism Industry.
My apartment was adequate, however, it could use some updating.

There was a minor issue with check in, but the staff was accommodating and the security team was excellent and I made new friends. Kudos to Mr Green and his team also the housekeeping lady was thorough and the place was well cleaned. I will be back for sure. Close to shopping and the Police Station was in front so I felt safe. I would highly recommend sea shell palms.
