Incredible Stay at Joia – Highly Recommend!
We just had an amazing 4-day stay at Joia, the adults-only section of the Iberostar resorts in Montego Bay. Just 30 minutes from the airport, the resort was beautiful, the food was excellent (especially the Jamaican, Hibachi, steakhouse, and buffet), and the service was top-notch. I wanna give a huge shoutout to our butlers, Berris and Andre, who went above and beyond to make my mom’s birthday special—decorating our room, arranging champagne, pressing our outfits, and staying in constant contact to ensure everything ran smoothly. They even helped resolve an airport transfer issue for us! The resort also had fun entertainment—nightly DJs, a nightclub, and a fire-dancer at the all-white party. We left feeling relaxed and celebrated. Choose Joia—you won’t regret it!

Highly Recommend
We highly recommend Iberostar Jamaica. We came on our Honeymoon and had the best time. They are incredibly hospitable. We loved having Omar and Christopher as our butler's. But huge shout out to Mr. Fresh for making our trip the most memorable! We will definitely be coming back!

My experience at Joia Rose Hall Jamaica.
Excellent service in general but some minor details that needs to be reviewed related with communication, coordination and supervision.

Great honeymoon!
Truly a great honeymoon experience! My husband and I booked an ocean view room with butler service and I’ve never felt more pampered in my life! Our team of butlers, Renardo, Omar, Devon, and Christopher were absolutely amazing and always had the best recommendations for activities and where to eat. I have some food allergies and on day one they made sure that all of the restaurants on site were aware and gave me a copy of the note they sent! Every staff member was kind, thoughtful and courteous throughout our stay and I hope to come back soon!

Excellent experience at Iberostar
At the end of each school year, my teacher bestie and I take a vacation together; this was our sixth year and our sixth different all-inclusive resort company. We’ll be coming back to Iberostar for sure. Here are a few reasons why: (1) Good food. The desserts were a little shaky, but the regular food offerings were on point. The grilled asparagus at the Italian restaurant was next level. (2) Friendly and helpful staff. All over the resort. Special shout outs to Shanae at the spa (awesome massage) and Alex at the Italian restaurant, who helped me get exactly the dish I wanted. Mr. Fresh was also great. Phenomenal. (3) Ample pool chairs and beds. It may have been because we went at the tail end of the low season, but we never had to search for places to sit and the resort overall was quiet, which is just the way we like it. (4) Huge rooms. The bathroom had two vanities and the lounge chair in the living area was perfect for reading. The deck was huge and very comfortable. (5) No towel cars. I can’t even express how awesome this was. You could just get towels for the pool. More than one of them. Whenever. Amazing. (6) Room key on wrist band. I’m not typically a fan of resort wrist bands, but this one had our room key right on it. Love it. Overall, great resort experience. We’ll be back!
