Which Montego Bay resort for the day?

[bluecruise1]

Looking for reviews of Sunscape Splash, Hilton Rose Hall, and Grand Palladium. How is the food, the beach? Did you book through resortsforday.com or another website? We want a nice beach, good food, and would love snorkeling from the beach. Also, how far from the cruise port are these resorts? Leaving next Sat on the Carnival Freedom, 2 adults and 2 college age kids. Thanks for any info you all can give me!

I don't have a review for you, but I just got some info from Hilton Rose Hall:

 

"JUTA Taxi cost US$50 one way for 1-4 persons."

How easy is it to get a cab at the port? I'm concerned about how easy it is to take a JUTA taxi.

I’m interested in the same info. Anyone have a review on any of these?

1cruisingal, we booked the Hilton Rose Hall resort through Resortforaday.com (aka RFD). We are on the Carnival Freedom sailing this Sat, so I will post after we get back and let you know how it was. RFD required a $53 deposit per person and that includes transportation to and from the ship. Fingers crossed it was a good choice!! (Kinda disappointed that no one responded to my request for reviews.)

Looking forward to hearing how it went and how far from port. I"m looking into this one and Secrets.

Sorry, we lost all of the pictures we had, but the wife and I did the Hilton Rose Hall a couple years ago and it was very nice. We would do it again.

 

We had done the Sandals the year before, but couldn't find any package that included transportation. So we went through the Resort for a Day.

We did Sunscape splash and loved it! It was closet to the port, clean, and the food was good. My husband and daughter spent hours snorkeling there. Not great stuff to see my still fun. We dream of spending a week there.

Hope you had a great time! Looking forward to hearing what you thought about Hilton Rose Hall and RFD. Thanks!

My family stayed at the Hilton Rose Hall for a week last March. We loved the resort. The food was very good. There was a jerk chicken hut that was kind of hidden and it also closes around 1:00, so if you end up going there I recommend finding that. I spent most of my time during the day in the lazy river. It was great and had pretty easy access to a swim up bar.

 

It sounds like the beach is important to you and that is the one area that I was disappointed with the HIlton Rose Hall. It wasn't very big. Most of it was kind of rocky. Seaweed was a problem.
