We got married at this hotel 5 years ago and it really was the best day of our lives. The wedding planner did a fantastic job and we really couldnt have asked for more. We travelled with friends and family and one of those friends has returned 3 times. The only reason we havent returned is because there are so many other countries we want to visit. We will without a doubt go back one day. If you are planning on getting married abroad this is the place to do it. We stayed in a beach bungalow. Brilliant.

Just came back from a two week holiday at the RDCC and absolutely loved it! The staff are absolutely great and cannot do enough for you. Even though the hotel was fully booked the whole time we were out there, we had fantastic service all the way through. There are many reviews which will reflect the brilliant time I had so instead, I'll put down my tips which should (hopefully!) make your stay enjoyable.

Coming out of montego bay airport:
You will be immediately swamped by sales reps wanting to sell a booklet containing discount vouchers for trips. We did not go for these as we did not know how we would contact these people or know what prices our own rep would have charged or what trips we would have liked to do anyway. I also disliked being given a hard sell before we set foot out of the airport. it was a bit much. You will also be hassled by porters who want to take your luggage to the transportation bus. If you don't need to use them, then a polite no will suffice. We took our own bags to the bus but then were a bit put out when someone expected a tip for putting our cases into the bus. As we didn't have much money on us (as we didn't realise we would need it as the transport was pre-paid), I offered a 50p coin which was rejected! I did object to a tip being expected for something which I wouldn't expect me to do anyway!!!

Checking in:
Very quick - all keys and forms were laid out in advance and the welcome drink was refreshing!!!!

Loungers:
Best ones are by the main pool - use the ones with the blue lining as the ones on the beach have slats and are quite painful after a while! Loungers tend to go pretty quick so I used to be down by the pool at 8 at the latest and put my towel on it before going to breakfast.

Activities:
The activities I got involved in were the morning aerobics with Chris or Fras - they are brilliant and the exercise isn't too vigourous! Boche ball which is a beach version of boules is also cool and you will find that the guests do get competetive with each other which makes it fun!! The reggae dance classes are great fun and they have you on stage in front of those by the pool so it is definately not for the shy but it's all in good spirits and you don't have to be the greatest dancer to get the moves.

Things to do when the weather is bad:
When we went it rained 50% of the time. The only critism I have of the hotel is that there is a lack of activities when the rain is very heavy. You have a tv in your room, but the channels are quite limited and the signal isn't always great and some of the channels are blocked. There is a pool table, a tv room and internet facilities ($10 US for 30 mins) and they have a selection of board games, but not nearly enough if the hotel is fully booked. We took a pack of cards and also a portable DVD player so we chilled out in our room when the rain was really heavy.

Outside the hotel:
We only ventured out of the hotel to go to the supermarket to buy snacks and some toilettries. Buy your stuff here rather than the hotel shop as it is much cheaper (come out of the hotel and turn right after the t-shirt and craft shop). You will get people asking if you want your hair braided or hire a taxi but if you just say no thanks, you won't get hassled any further. Be sure to give your room number to the hotel security by the gate as you leave the premises and return to ensure you are safe.

Recommended trips:
1) Dunn's river falls
2) Dolphin Cover
3) 9 mile (visiting Bob Marley's place of birth and where he died)

All in all, this hotel is great as it caters for all people - kids, couples, singles, older people, people in wheelchairs. The food is varied and there is something for everyone. I preferred the Nyamings restaurant (Jamaican Fusion) to the Jasmine Delta (Pan Asian), but that is just my taste. You may feel different.

Take a look at my pics and if you do decide to go, I hope you have a great time! We may be going again next year and have recommended the RDCC to our friends as a honeymoon destination.

This was our 3rd time at this resort and we had a lot of fun again. Can't wait to go back.....Every time we go back it better and better.
We love the new look of the Jetty Bar....I just need to say one more time Thank You Stevie for driving us and showing us real Jamaica on your free time we love you dude, and Lots of Love to Sheldeen our Jamaican cousin....(we just love you guy's can't wait to see you again). WE ARE GOING TO BE BACK IN SEPTEMBER!!!!
One Love...
