This was our second time at this resort. The first time for our new 3 mth old baby girl! We can’t say enough good thing about our experiences here. First of all, TANIA the manager of guest services went above and beyond to accommodate our stay- not just with our uncertainties travelling with our infant, but she made sure both my husband and I had the best time with absolutely no stress about the baby. Anything you need; iberostar will accommodate - if you get to deal with Tania directly- you are beyond lucky. The resort itself is stunning, amazing staff, clean, friendly and welcoming. Thank you, iberostar suites for another incredible and unforgettable first family trip! And thank you TANIA from the bottom of our hearts for all you’ve done for us! You are incredible. Read less

I recently stayed at the Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites Resort and had a mixed experience. Here’s a breakdown of my stay: Positives • Rooms: The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The mini-bar was stocked with beer, sodas, and juice, which was a nice touch. • Property: The resort itself was beautiful, with manicured grounds and plenty of space to lounge. It wasn’t crowded, which made it feel relaxing and peaceful. • Staff Highlights: • Front Desk: Obrian was welcoming and efficient during check-in. • Bellman: Honray (a middle-aged gentleman in long white socks) was phenomenal, ensuring our bags were handled smoothly. • Breakfast Buffet Staff: Special thanks to Jimmy and Kevorn for their friendly and attentive service. • Hibachi Restaurant: Romaine delivered excellent service during our dinner. • Lobster and Steak Restaurant: A young server from Manchester who worked on December 12 was attentive and polite. • Food: While the buffet lacked variety, the food provided was tasty overall. Negatives • Lobby: The design of the lobby is outdated and lacks aesthetic appeal. A redesign could greatly enhance the first impression of the resort. • Eco-Friendly Amenities: While the eco-friendly initiative of using glass bottles is commendable, the dispensers on the first floor didn’t work, and the ice machine was also out of order. This inconvenience detracted from the experience. • Buffet Service: The servers at the buffet were not proactive. Despite the low guest count, we often finished meals without being offered water or juice unless we explicitly called for assistance. • Jerk Hut Experience: This was the most disappointing aspect of the stay and significantly impacted our overall experience: • On December 12, the two young ladies working at the Jerk Hut were rude, dismissive, and more focused on discussing a staff party than attending to guests. The food, though well-cooked, was cold, and the service made us feel like an inconvenience. • On December 13, a male staff member at the Jerk Hut was equally rude, dismissing our questions about obtaining hot fries with an unhelpful response. We left without ordering. • When we visited the Jerk Hut at Wave later that day, the young lady there also displayed poor attitude and customer service. • Across all our visits, the Jerk Hut staff were inattentive, unfriendly, and unprofessional. This was a significant letdown and single-handedly ruined our stay. While the resort has its positives, particularly in terms of property, room cleanliness, and select staff members who provided exceptional service, the poor customer service—particularly at the Jerk Hut—overshadowed the experience. The lack of proactive service, unfriendly attitudes, and rude interactions at the Jerk Hut make it difficult to recommend this resort. There are other resorts in Jamaica with far superior service quality, and I do not plan on returning to Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites Resort. Read less

We arrived on 11/27 for a 7 night stay with a group of 17 people. Kerry Kay, Javena, Laura and Saskia were very welcoming when we arrived and took great care of us. The bellboy from the Beach took us to the star prestige lounge to check in. Not all of our guests had arrived yet. But that didn’t slow them down from getting us checked in and making us feel welcomed! Star Prestige staff had our rooms ready for us and the ladies were amazing. We had to switch a few rooms up and they went above and beyond to make sure we were accommodated. Krystal the bartender on the star prestige lounge was fun and made great drinks! Always smiling! We had dinner two nights at the Italian restaurant and the food was delicious! Whitney was so awesome and took such great care of us both nights we dined at Italian. We had a group of 17 and were a handful but she stepped right in and took care of our group and made us feel like family. She even saw our family the next night at Japanese and ran over to give us all a hug. She was the sweetest! We had dinner two nights at Japanese and Romain was our chef. Again, there was 17 of us and he was so good to us and we requested him the second time and he was just as good as the first and treated us like family as well. Julet was our waitress and she was awesome as well. Food was delicious! Daily at the Prestige beach area we were very well taken care of by Leroy, Kacia, Anastasia and Chad! They were fun, and welcoming each day remembering what we drank and made sure our chairs were set up and drinks flowing always with a smile on their face. They even played good music. All 17 guests enjoyed our beach days with the prestige staff. They are amazing! The pool bartenders/staff were so fun and always smiling. Earl, Oshaine and Jevon were very attentive to us, made great drinks. It’s nice to feel welcomed and seeing their smiley faces. We had Marsha Lee for our daily ambassador. She would stop by the prestige beach area to check on us to see if we needed anything. She was so sweet and very helpful. Suzanne was the afternoon ambassador and oh my goodness did she go above and beyond and make sure every detail of our evenings were perfect. She would deliver our wine we selected to dinner and always had a big smile on her face. Even if it was a last minute request. Taking care of 17 people at once can be challenging and she was so amazing. We wanted to tour the grand so Kerry Kay took us on a nice tour. She is so fun and we just love her. Always smiling and attentive to us! She is like family! Javena was also fun and we had nice visits with her when we hung out in prestige lounge. The spa staff was wonderful! Welcoming each day and there was not a bad massage. All very relaxing! We loved every minute of our stay! The food, staff and resort is amazing. Our room was nice and cold and nice! The resort is a very lovely resort with so many amazing workers. If you haven’t been here you must book! The food is good and many options. Candiece and Yeni were also amazing. Trevaughn was always so happy to take us to and from the selections and Beach. He was so fun! I know I am probably missing names, so many wonderful staff striving to do their best and make our vacation a memorable one! I can’t say enough positive things about everyone. Can’t wait to come back and see all the wonderful staff who made us feel like family. As Kerry Kay would call us… Jamericans😁❤️. Read less

We just got back from our 11th trip to Selection Rose Hall Suites, Jamaica. Needless to say, we love this resort. There is so much to like about this resort. It is one of 3 at this location and is family friendly. It is a small 4 level resort that forms a horseshoe open to the ocean. The infinity pool overlooks the beach. There are 4 main restaurants plus the buffet (which unfortunately was closed for renovations, so they moved breakfast to the Steak and Lobster restaurant on the beach). If you stay here you can also access restaurants at the Waves Beach next door. At lunch time, there are often cooks at the pool making jerk pork and chicken and paella, as well as a food truck on the beach. There is a swim up bar at the pool, a bar in the theater, one in the nightclub, as well as a really nice bar in the lobby. The entertainment team leads activities around the pool and on the beach during the day. At night they host shows either on the beach or in the theater, as well as afterhours karaoke and a nightclub. All of the rooms are suites, which mean there is a lot of space, and a balcony. There is ample closet space and drawers and shelves to stash your belongings. The bathroom is spacious and includes a shower as well as a jetted tub. What we really like about this resort are the people. Everyone who works at the resort is very friendly and helpful. Since we have been there a lot, people remember us and treat us like family!! We were lucky enough to be there when they lighted the Christmas tree display in the lobby – it was quite a celebration. We have met so many people from many different places – some we see returning as we do!! The rest of my review is all about the people who work at the resort. We feel they deserve recognition for all that they did for us! I know that I have missed some names, but really, everyone is so nice!! Entertainment team: Kiki, Vanessa, Ruth, Sash, Goody, Quban, Tevin, Stretch, Quwayna. Zeus and Momo who came from the fitness center to do water aerobics. Manager of restaurants : Nickolas Around the pool: Dijon (who made sure the pool was clean and clear), Amanda, Glenise and all the servers Buffet: Simone, Tiana and Rodreka - the hostesses; Dana, Samantha, Ahmaal, Jodi Ann, Raquel, Kelisha, Lashawn who always served with a smile; Ryan and Jimmy who made delicious eggs and pancakes. Steak and Lobster: Antoinette and Toni Italian: Sophia, Lashan, Neita, Wayne , Dadrian Smokehouse: Nickolas and the hostesses whose names I did not get!! Asian: Jahday Lobby Bar: Jules Coffee Bar: Shaun B (provided early morning coffee drinks) Guest Services: Tanya (akaTiny) Green Team: Paul and so many people keeping the beach free of seaweed and trash; trimming bushes and mowing grass; making sure the chairs and table were clean; etc. Photography: Wayne We are members of Iberostar The Club. There are so many people on this team that helped make our vacation magical!! In the Prestige Lounge: Candace; Saskia; Javena; Laura; Susanna; Aldaina(who was in training; Kerry (our Ambassador who checked in with us everyday to be sure we had everything we needed); all those who worked the bar including Alyssa and Jamie. At the beach club: Kacia, Chad, Leroy, Anecia, and others. We are already thinking about our return trip next year!! Read less
