It has just been refurbished, so public areas and many rooms are now upgraded!
What I wish I
could change:
You have to make reservations for all the a la carte restaurants, so be sure to book early. Swimming pool does not stay open all night.
Why YOU should
go:
This is a good resort for a family vacation as long as you are over 14 years old! There are plenty of activities including unlimited golf at the local SuperClubs golf course just half a mile away.
Recently reopened after a $20 million expansion and renovation, Breezes Runaway Bay Resort features a new low-rise, 30-room wing with seven one-bedroom suites and eight verandah suites with private plunge pools. In addition, 30 gardenview rooms have expanded into 40 verandah suites, each with plunge pools. Existing guest rooms will sport new furnishings, liquid-crystal-display TVs and wireless Internet access as well as new bathroom countertops and hardware. In the watersports area, the resort added two new pools to supplement the existing Olympic-sized main pool and a new dive equipment building will feature scuba and Nitrox equipment.
Breezes Runaway Bay Resort is the perfect off-ramp for people on the fast track. Twenty-two lush, green acres tucked away on the finest expanse of beach on Jamaica's famed North Coast makes Breezes Runaway Bay one of the world's truly great escapes. 42 miles from the city of Montego Bay, yet worlds away from reality. Enjoy the gentle fragrance of tropical flowers and the brilliant collage of white sand and azure water. Breezes Runaway Bay is the perfect getaway for singles, couples and families, 14 years and older.
You're free to be yourself, in a hammock beneath a swaying palm...or re-invent yourself, with video-assisted golf & tennis schools, the best SCUBA in Jamaica and a PGA-quality golf course so challenging it's been the home of the Heineken World Cup of Golf Western Qualifying Tournament 7 years running, as well as host to many other local and International tournaments.
