“Loved the changes .... its now even better”

Breezes Runaway Bay Resort & Golf Club

2/2 found this review helpful

We have been here many times over the years with our previous visit being back in 2003.

We were pleasantly suprised by a host of new features not least the new swimming pools right on the beach.

The staff are friendly, the beach is great and the place is as lively or as quiet as you want it to be.

New Japanese restaurant and spa facilities all add to the experience. We travel a long way to get there (UK) so we expect comfort and value for money.

Plenty of good options for food and drink and the entertainment is about right.

Only one small negative was our room was looking a "little tired" compared to the rest of the property upgrade but I'm sure that will be next of their list of things to do.

Thanks to the lovely and lively Sandra at guest relations for a great stay.

“2nd Trip back excellent - working on my 3rd!!”

I have just returned from my second trip to BRB this year!!! I went earlier with family and friends and just had to return. So I travelled alone this time May 8-12.....I had an even better time. The staff welcome you back just like one of the family and treat you like a queen the whole time.
Julian made sure my room, etc...was just what I wanted and Sandra did whatever she could to make me happy!!

The food and service were of course excellent as usual, my room was very clean and well kept for me!

Thanks to Wade, Nicholas, Kino, Roshane, Jason and Errol for keeping me happy at my favorite places...the bars and the disco!!

I am now working on my third trip and would recommend this resort to everyone!!

“Nicest Wedding Ever”

4/4 found this review helpful

We have just come back from our wedding/honeymoon and we loved every second of it and can not wait to go back!!! We had 52 people stay with us on the resort and we did not receive a single complaint. The staff is super friendly, especially Sandra and the bartenders are a lot of fun! Shout out to Wade aka dolla bill! I would highly recommend coming to this resort if you are fun-loving! We all had a blast and I can not wait to go back for my one year anniversary.
We were also surprised with an upgrade to the third floor plunge pool ocean front suite that went above and beyond our expectations. I can not stress more how wonderful this resort is and how much fun we had. Jamaica is one of the most beautiful countries that we have visited and I can not stress enough that everyone should experience it! Also when staying at the resort we went on an excursion called the luminous lagoon that was absolutely mind blowing. Words can not even describe how amazing this lagoon is so one would need to experience it on their own. Jamaica is the best place that I have ever traveled to!!!

“Incredible Attention To Detail...”

Breezes Runaway Bay Resort & Golf Club

May 12, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

Our (my wife and I) first visit to Breezes Runaway Bay (BRB) was in November 2002. We loved the island of Jamaica, the people, and the resort so much that over the years we have returned to Jamaica 6 times, including the most recent trip (May 2 - May 11, 2008) and 5th time staying at BRB. Needless to say, if you stay somewhere 5 times, you like the resort and we do, but that's not to say there haven't been some minor issues along the way that we would have liked to see BRB address.

The last time we were there (November 07), they still seemed to be ironing out some supply issues (food, fruit for drinks) and some attitude issues among a small amount of the staff.

Well, we just returned yesterday from Jamaica and BRB and we were completely blown away by the attentiveness, attention to detail, and improvements (attitude and food) made in certain areas of the resort. Check-in was the smoothest ever, arriving at 1pm and thinking we'd hear "your rooms are not ready" but instead hearing "your rooms are ready" and being able to hit the beach by 1:30 and get a full afternoon in on our first day.

We usually shy away from the buffet at BRB, but immediately noticed a change in the food quality and selection available at the buffet. We also noticed that ALL the work staff had great attitudes and were always attentive (with coffee, silverware, etc).

We ate dinner at Munasan (3 times), Pastafari (3 times), and Starlight Grill (once) and nothing else can be said other than we had 7 magnificent meals.

The bars always had fruit for drinks (I like having a dirty banana now and then), the bartenders were on their game, always friendly and eager to please when I would say "surprise me with something strong and smooth" (I recommend a "Rusty Nail").

The on-site jewelry store was fun again, with a great selection of watches and jewelry at reasonable prices (something missing from our last trip).

One of the highlights on the last trip was the Blue Mahoe Spa when my wife and I received wonderful massages from Janyce and Georgeina. Unfortunately, they were both on vacation this time, but my massage from Claressa was awesome. I highly recommend starting off the trip with a visit to the spa!!!

The beach is gorgeous and impeccably maintained.

Not enough can be said for the following people:

- Sandra Holness
- Stacey Duncan
- Dorothy (front desk)
- Oliver (bellman)
- Omar (sports)
- Georgia (Pastafari)
- Sylvia (Munasan)
- Rodney, Wade, Nazur, Errol, Arlene and basically all the bartenders
- Everyone on the housecleaning staff

I think it would be remiss not to mention Kevin Levee (the GM) as well (even though we didn't meet him on this trip). We had visited BRB 3 times prior to his arrival as GM, and had loved the resort. After the renovations last year, and his subsequent arrival as GM, our 4th visit in November was good, but a bit choppy at times. We were skeptical about his abilities to manage 2 resorts ( he also is the GM at Hedo 3). After this trip, there is NO doubt he was the right choice. In the end, our impressions of the resort as guests is his responsibility.

And our impression of BRB on this trip was truly magnificent from start to finish!

Needless to say, we cannot wait to return to both Jamaica and BRB!!!
