The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I thoroughly enjoyed the food options available at the Jolly Beach Resort. The buffet at Hemispheres had a diverse array of choices every day, from omelet stations at breakfast to fantastic jerk chicken at lunch. We also dined at the Mexican restaurant, which was my favorite, serving delicious guacamole and chips as well as tasty entrees. Overall, I never had a bad meal and appreciated the variety offered throughout the week.

Refreshing Pool Experience

The pool area at the resort was a highlight of my stay. I particularly loved the swim-up bar, from which I could enjoy my drink without ever leaving the water. It felt very relaxed and enjoyable. There was also ample seating available, so I didn't have to worry about finding a chair. It was a perfect spot to cool off during the hot afternoons.

Comfortable Room Setup

I found the standard king room to be quite comfortable. Although it may have been a bit quaint, it had everything I needed for a pleasant stay, including a clean environment and a great view of the pool and beach from my balcony. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was essential given the warm weather.

Fun Activities for Kids

As a family-oriented resort, I appreciated the variety of children's activities available. There were organized games and crafts for kids throughout the day. My children particularly enjoyed the pool games and the beach activities, which allowed them to interact with other kids. It was nice to see them engaged and having fun while I enjoyed some relaxation time.

I recently stayed at this resort and had a truly memorable experience. The beach is stunning, with beautiful turquoise waters and lots of activities available. The staff was mostly friendly and welcoming, though some could be a bit more cheerful. On the downside, the rooms are quite dated and in need of some serious upgrades, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it's great value for money considering the location and beach quality.
