Best 5-star resorts in Jamaica

Negril

Hideaway at Royalton Negril, an adults only resort-within-a-resort offers an intimate experience for couples and friends, from exclusive pool and beach areas to gourmet French cuisine at Ocean Point Bistro and world-class service, plus access to the wider Royalton Negril. Pretty VIP, right? Plus, upgrade to Diamond Club™ for even more 5-star treatment with butler service, Bali beds and more!

Montego Bay

Might we suggest some All-In Luxury® at Royalton Blue Waters Montego Bay? Another resort-within-a-resort (we like those…), try snorkelling along 1,200km of coral reef, dining at world-class restaurants that caters to foodies of all kinds, then laying your head on Royalton’s signature DreamBed™ with high thread count sheets. We did say it was luxury. For 5-star hotels in paradise, this one’s definitely raising the bar.

Montego Bay

One of the best Jamaican resorts and the first RIU property in the Trelawny area is the brand-new Riu Palace Aquarelle – a resort you’ve seen more than once this season of Best of the Best. Vacationers can dig their heels into all-ages fun with the Splash Water World water park on site and four pools, plus live day-to-night entertainment, golf ($) nearby and well-appointed suites, some with swim-out access.

Negril

Riu Negril is a big win-win in our books with its beachfront real estate, modern amenities and exclusive RIU®-topia perks. As one of the best all inclusive resorts in Jamaica, families get access to water activities a plenty on site, with a sprawling pool complex including a swim-up bar, kids pool with slip-slidin’ water slides and windsurfing off the beach, plus ample opportunities for relaxation.

Another repeat mention this time around, Princess Grand Jamaica’s tropical euphoria has definitely earned its place as one of the best Jamaican 5-star resorts! How could you not love chic décor, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, the Thematic Game Zone, themed restaurants and bunk beds designed like boats? Plus, you get maximum luxury with Platinum Club upgrades including butler service, a private beach area, rooftop infinity pool and more.

Ocho Rios

Come for the laidback Jamaican charm, stay for the luxury amenities and world-class service. One of our favourite 5-star all inclusive resorts in Jamaica, you get to chill in a secluded cove surrounded by mountains, hang ten at the FlowRider® surf simulator and dance in a nightclub with a VIP area, bottle service and live DJ. We’d give it 6 stars if we could.
