I gave the resort a 5 out of 5 even though my wife said the bed was too hard ( I love a hard bed). We stayed in one of the ocean view suites. If I was comparing to one of the bigger expensive resorts, of course it would not be a five. We have been to those resorts and far prefer a smaller one like Merrils. Rooms are a bit dated but very clean. Had a problem with our air-conditioning dripping ( new heat pump style ) it was fixed immediately. The beach is great with plenty of shady trees, tons of beach chairs. The food was excellent. You don't get 10 options like the bigger resorts, you get two or three. The home made soups at lunch and dinner were to die for. Lorenzo, the chef, was always there to make sure everything was good. The Red *****e was always cold and the blended drinks were good. What really made our trip was the staff, they were so welcoming and truly wanted you to feel welcome and have a good time. Again, don't go there expecting all the luxury of the big resorts, go there to have a great time and truly enjoy Jamaica.
