    3 star resort

    This resort needs a huge overhaul! Food and drinks were decent. The staff was friendly. If they overbook you will be moved to another resort with no other option. If you head to the beach or by the pool after 9am you will not find any available chairs. Definitely would not go back.

    Outstanding and very friendly.

    We spent 10 days at Secrets St. James Preferred. It was our 6th time at the resort. In the past we stayed at Wild Orchid Preferred and Breathless. Everyone of our stays have been outstanding. We want to Thank; Chase, Dane, Kerry-Anne, Joy, Venessaa P, Keno and Fabian. There were many other staff that ensured our vacation was outstanding. The entertainment was good and the resort ensured there was a great location to watch NFL Football! The room was well maintained and we enjoyed the food. We will definitely be returning again!

    Most courteous people we’ve ever experienced. Jenisha at the courtesy desk is the best!

    We asked about rum distillery tours and Jenisha at the courtesy desk was AMAZING and made our trip even better! She gave us so much information that we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own and even gave us a small courtesy item that made our night! Jamaica might be our favorite place of all to travel!

    Most Relaxing Vacation Ever!

    After reading some of the reviews online, I was hesitant about what to expect. But after spending 6 days at Secrets St. James, I do not understand the negative reviews at all. Yes, some pools were rowdy but there was always one that was quiet. I'm not a big party person, and we always found a place where I could bask in the sun and read undisturbed. There is something for everyone. Kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, dancing, games, tours, starfish, bars, fitness center, spa, music, drinking from coconuts, and even some quiet space for introverts to read or meditate. The staff was helpful, friendly, and learned our names. I wish we would have learned all their names so I could include them here. But shout out to Aliyah who helped us when we first arrived. Every meal was delicious. The food was amazing! . You must try the plantain porridge. Fantstic! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!
