Feb 19, 2025Amazing Resort
The staff was friendly and fast, always smiling and happy. "I was blown away by the level of customer service. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure all my needs were met". The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very inviting". This is our 3rd year and plan on returning next year.

Feb 17, 2025A very good vacation in Ocho Rios. Mostly hits with a few misses.
Overall a very good vacation. Three and a half stars is truthful, but I rounded up. This is the original all inclusive, adults only resort built in 1949 and a vacation spot for countless celebrities over the years. Here is a list of ratings: Resort - 3.5/5 - Rooms are tired in a vintage sort of way. Bathrooms have been updated in the not so distant past. Cleanliness of rooms could be improved. Grounds are luscious and well maintained thanks to Alfred and his staff. Alfred leads the best nature walk we have ever had. A must do. Pools and beach were very good with plenty of seats available. Staff - 3/5 - About 30 % of staff seemed disinterested. Quite surprising. I even asked a senior staff member if there was any issue with management and I was told it was quite the opposite with staff receiving a 20% raise recently. Shout out to Captain Kirk, bell captain, Giovanni, mini bar man and his brother at Eight Rivers restaurant. Food and drink - 4/5 - Majority of food was very good with a few glaring exceptions. I ordered beef/steak 4 times and 1 of 4 was good. Buffet could use a few more items. One oddity was that only juices available were orange, pineapple and cranberry. All bottled. Eight Rivers is one of the finest a la carte restaurants we have ever been to in the Caribbean/Mexico/Central America. Alcoholic beverages were great. Top shelf spirits, great wine and a very good champagne. Champagne not sparkling wine. Activities and Entertainment - 5/5. Great variety of activities for guests of all ages. Entertainment was very good and plentiful. Overall we would return but not before trying a few other adults only and all inclusives.

Amazing 7 days in Jamaica!
We loved our stay! First time in Jamaica. First, we used Club Mobay and didn’t regret it. Especially for the return trip, you get through customs quickly and the way have a great lounge with food and drinks included. Tower isle is a smaller resort and has a laid back vibe which we loved. The staff was amazing, very friendly and worked hard to keep the property clean. I was amazed with all the seaweed that washes up how well they kept up with it. They were also doing some painting and maintenance while we were there. Some reviewers complain about the condition of the property, but we found the property to be clean and well maintained. There is a party pool with music and a swim up bar and games during the day if you want to be more social. We stuck by the main pool (quiet) and the beach for most of our trip. Chairs are easy to find on the beach, the pool chairs do get reserved pretty early. Half the chairs at the main pool are in the shade. Shade easy to find at the beach as well. The food- 5/5! The food at this resort was amazing. I’m not typically a buffet person but even the buffet was top quality. We ate at all three sit down restaurants (eight rivers, Bayside and verandah) more than once and they were all great. However, Jamaican night was my favorite! It’s a special buffet night on Wednesday with authentic Jamaican cuisine. I wish they served this food more than once a week it was that food. Great entertainment that night with the fire show and steel drum band. Don’t sleep on Jamaican night! Also loved the coffee shop and snacks at the veggie bar during the day. Spa was an amazing and my favorite massage was the bamboo reed. Also took a couple yoga classes and these were very relaxing. Excursions- we did blue hole and Dunns river and I would recommend both! We booked with Duncan Caruthers for blue hole and I would recommend him. Not sure whey the resort stopped including Dunns river but fortunately we booked while it was still included. Only disappointment was our catamaran got canceled due to weather and we were unable to rebook. I would say my biggest complain (not related to the resort) was 5/7 days were red flag. So if getting out on the water and doing water sports is important to you, another area on the island that has calmer waters might be a better choice. I’d love to check out the Negril side or do a split stay for this reason. But overall we loved it and would book again!

FANTASTIC!
Had a fabulous two weeks here. The hotel was lovely. A lot of reviews said it was dated and tired. Yes it’s an older style hotel (imagine a boutique rather than a swanky new corporate style) but it certainly wasn’t tired. There were maintenance men there every day painting handrails etc and touching up rooms. The room was lovely (5505) and room service was twice a day. All inclusive here absolutely means all inclusive at no extra cost. The food was beautiful - we ate in the Bayside twice, eight rivers three times and then the verandah the rest of the time except the gala dinner and Jamaican night. The tennis coach Colin was great, as were all the entertainment staff. In fact every member of staff were incredible. Nothing was too much trouble. This was our first time here and we were a bit nervous having read some of the reviews but we will absolutely definitely be back! Thank you Couples Tower Isle

Feb 09, 2025Nice to try, probably won't go back
We had read that the resort was outdated but it did not appear that way. The room was nice, comfy bed, clean. The food in the buffet and specialty restaurants were all quite fine. The daytime grill was awful as was the so called veggie bar, but the buffet restaurant was a great choice for lunch. No one ever swam in the 1 pool. I called it the dead persons pool as there seemed to be no life amongst the people alongside it. Just silence. The other pool was the swim up bar and it was full of people who never got out to go pee. The resort has tons of shade, and pretty much full shade after 3pm, which if you want sun, isn't great. The snorkel boat was great, even tried night snorkeling!. Never tried the nude island but many did. Evenings were full of entertainment, lots of Jamaican focused talent, and they were very talented! The 1 drawback was the staff. No one seemed to enjoy their work. The restaurant staff all looked like that was their first week. A bit chaotic and unorganized, but not friendly. This was our 8th trip to Jamaica and it's always been the opposite.
