What We Love
- Fancy duds throughout the resort that create that stylish level of lavishness you want.
- A private beach where the views are endless and the beach bartender already knows your name and your favorite cocktail.
- You can keep your beach bod looking svelte with a session or two with one of the on-site trainers at the fitness center.
- Traveling with the fam? Perfect, because Kids & Co. will take care of the young tykes - they want to have a little fun time, too.
- Vegging out at the spa with a beachside massage - leaving the beach would require too much effort - remember it's your vacay!
Things to Know
- The resort is away from the hustle and bustle of Montego Bay - you're drive is about 45 minutes from the airport and oh, so worth it once you arrive.
- The Adventure Park has all kinds of fun activities - zip lining, rock climbing & trampolines.
- You're close to some of Jamaica's favorite spots to see - Green Grotto Caves, Luminous Lagoon, Dunn's River Falls and Dolphin Cove & you'll find an excursion desk on-site to help you plan all your adventures.
- On those nights when you'd rather enjoy dinner on your balcony (and in your jammies) then 24-hour room service will be your thang.

Feb 10, 2026Cool weather but great visit!
Return visitor to Memories Jibacoa, have been going for many years - went for 1 week end of Jan into Feb and enjoyed another lovely visit....even during the coldest weather in the area since 1996! No shortages, no blackouts, no mosquitoes (didn't need the bug spray we brought so we left it with someone). Food was very good and varied as usual, chefs and the kitchen teams do a fantastic job. We love this resort for a few reasons - excellent staff; a rural, non-touristy location; lovely beach; and the peaceful vibe. It's an excellent spot to relax and recharge. There are lots of activities if you wish (snorkelling, catamaran, pedal boats, pickleball, tennis, basketball, animation team activities, shows, etc.) but it's sooo easy to just chill. Not a big party resort but there is a disco which is fun when guests are there, especially Cuban guests who have dancing skills programmed into their DNA ☺. Also, a piano bar for sing along and great drinks. The entire resort staff (from servers to gardeners to supervisors to decorators and on...) are really genuine people who want you to enjoy yourself. This is an older resort but they are always updating and upgrading. I like that it's a well maintained older property with 2 storey buildings over a small-ish footprint rather than a generic modern hotel spread over miles. We typically walk off the resort almost every day (as weather allowed this time) which is really safe and interesting. Havana is close if you want to check it out, as well as many other day trips available. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate this visit - a major cold front came through with high winds, cool temps and blustery rain...for days! Staff were bundled up with multiple layers of clothing but still smiling. Only 1.5 days of beach weather but no snow and no temperatures in the minuses so still a plus over home. The fact that we continue to return over and over is the best endorsement I can give. We've travelled elsewhere, Memories Jibacoa is the place we return to. It may not always be perfect but it's really easy to enjoy yourself, even in the cold. The Canadian airlines have just announced a pause on vacations to Cuba which is unfortunate for all. Tourism is a major economic driver for Cuba but it's also a way to support Cuban people directly. Cubans are generally strong, resilient and positive people - things are challenging right now so any support is appreciated. Hoping things will get sorted and we'll be able to head back again soon. ♥

Gorgeous Beach, wonderful people
The resort who is wonderful, lots of options for food and activities. The people were incredible, so kind and welcoming. The beach was gorgeous but unfortunately there had been a little bit of litter blown in so I spent an hour each morning picking up letter all the way up and down the beach to help keep it look as pristine as it should be.

A welcoming slice of heaven
This was my fist visit to Cuba and my first visit to a resort of any kind and we enjoyed it so much we are already planning on returning next year. If you are looking for a relaxing retreat away from a highly commercialized area with friendly staff and excellent food, this is the place for you. The food is excellent in both the buffet and the a la carte restaurants and even a slightly fussy eater like me found plenty to eat every day. The coffee at the lobby bar is excellent and since they are open 24 hours a day, even early risers like me can get a fresh cup when they wake up. We had breakfast at both the buffet and the a la carte restaurant and both were excellent, but I would recommend the buffet, as the chef at the omlette station is a master of his craft! The rooms are clean and quiet, he beds are very comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water. The beach is short and the wind was blowing in a fair bit of seaweed when were were there, but the water was bath tub warm and my partner saw an incredible number of fish while snorkling. The resort gym was surprisingly well equipped and the yoga instructor did a gret job of leading relaxing classes. What makes this resort really shine though is the people. The staff are so friendly and welcoming I felt like I was coming home. Great beaches and excellend food aside, I think the people are a good part of what keeps people coming back to this resort again and again. On our visit we met someone who was there for the 99th time! That, and the comments on the resort guest facebook page provide clear evidence of how great the staff are here. I can't wait to come back next year.

Beautiful place, beautiful people.
We have been visiting the Jibacoa area for the past 15 years. After many stays at the resort next door, this was our 4th stay at Memories Jibacoa. We went despite travel advisories and we are glad we did! We experienced no shortages of any kind, no fluctuations in power and no mosquito bites. The rooms have been upgraded since our last visit, the grounds are beautifully kept as always and the food has never been better. If you tire of buffet food and line ups, I recommend the upgrade to premium which offers you breakfast and lunch service in the à la cartes. The staff at this resort are incredibly friendly, hard working and professional. We travel with our adult son who has autism and he is so well looked after and happy and comfortable here. We’ve travelled to other tropical destinations and stayed in higher end resorts and honestly nothing beats Cuban hospitality. Memories Jibacoa is a true gem.

Feb 08, 2026Enjoy!
We loved it, we came for two weeks. The staff are lovely, which was really nice as we’d read they would be before we arrived. Sea was lovely, warm and great snorkelling. Room was great, bed comfortable and clean. Food was just what the doctor ordered! Enjoy.
