Bottom Line

The least expensive of Montego Bay'southward Iberostar trio, this upbeat, and at times rowdy, all-inclusive mega-resort features tons of civilities -- four restaurants, four confined, water sports, a spa, a theater, a casino, a nightclub, and a kids' gild -- all for seriously affordable rates.

Plenty of features for an affordable price, but near of them are mediocre

Pulling upward to the Iberostar Rose Hall complex doesn't quite arm-twist instant relaxation. Rather the property, which comprises three separate hotels that quite literally rate in order of approach from best to worst, is a sea of concrete, with parking lots on the right side and barren, shopping mall-like entrances on the left side.

To put it bluntly, of the three Iberostar hotels located within this complex, Iberostar Rose Hall Beach is the cheapest and the least luxurious. Notwithstanding, the volume of amenities remains on par with the other hotels; there are 4 bars, 4 restaurants, water sports, a theater, a business organisation center, and a massive pool overlooking the beach. The hotel also shares a spa with the other two properties, every bit well as a casino, shops, meeting rooms, and a nightclub. What places it on the bottom of the three-tiered Iberostar totem pole is the decor, which, from the vestibule to the rooms to the restaurants, is uninspired; for instance, the music lounge features low ceilings and cheesy Hawaiian furnishings that, even in the everyman of light, evoke a sketchy tiki bar.

The only surface area that isn't ho-hum is the infinity-border puddle, which is humongous. Quite maybe the length of a football game field, it features direct views of the beach and body of water, and lovely landscaping on all sides includes a meandering river and palm trees. The swim-up bar, nevertheless, though possibly decently sized for a normal pool, is itty-bitty given the chapters of this pool. Equally a result, there is a well-nigh-constant mob of half-drunk guests jockeying for the attending of the bartenders, creating a club-blazon scenario.

The hotel besides sells day passes to cruise ship passengers who are docked for the day, making a serene temper all but impossible. The mad rush of guests, after paying a fee for all-inclusive access, seem hell-bent on making the most of their coin by drinking and eating as much as humanly possible. This bothers hotel guests to no end, specially at the puddle and swim-up bar, which simply cannot continue up with the never-ending need. The policy is surely lucrative for Iberostar, but no doubt leaves a bad gustatory modality in the mouths of hotel's ''existent'' guests.

What further irks a lot of guests is the fact that those staying at the higher quality Iberostar Rose Hall Suites and Ibersotar Rose Hall Thou have complimentary reign to enjoy every assiduities at Iberoster Rose Hall Beach. Yet, the opposite is not truthful, and in fact, guests at Iberostar Rose Hall Beach might experience like second-class citizens; they should await to exist stopped at the resort's border, or ordered back to their grounds if they are discovered at one of the fancier resorts.

Still, many volition consider the tradeoffs worth it for these depression rates. The resort is not but the cheapest of the iii Iberostar properties in Montego Bay, information technology'south one of the cheapest all-inclusive, mid-range properties on the island. The decor might exist boring and the dining just be and so-then, but the rates are low, the beach is acceptable, and the booze and nutrient are gratis.

Generic rooms with few extras -- simply dainty for the cost

Rooms at Iberostar Rose Hall have light wood furniture, tile floors, and red-leaf-patterned comforters that are slightly more mod than the standard-issue floral prints establish at many all-inclusives.

The travertine bathrooms are rather large for the room size, but the refillable wall-mounted toiletries aren't refilled as often equally they should be, and wall-mounted hairdryers are almost as effective as the room's ceiling fan at drying wet hair.

Embankment

Pretty and spacious enough, though covered in tire marks and rather crowded

Back in 2009, when Oyster showtime visited Iberostar Rose Hall Beach, we noticed tire tracks in the sand -- non exactly the near placid of sights to find along a resort'south beach. Unfortunately, our latest trip in 2012 revealed the aforementioned issue. The beach was also severely crowded, and activities such as water aerobics classes ruin any semblance of serenity.

Overall, the beach is one of the prettier ones in Jamaica. The sand isn't quite powdery, simply the water is warm and crystal clear. Merely while the beach stretches half a mile in front of all three Iberostar resorts, the embankment admission for Iberostar Rose Hall guests ends abruptly at the archway to neighboring Iberostar Rose Hall Suites. Guests at the latter hotel can freely admission Iberostar Rose Hall Beach's amenities and strip of sand, but the contrary is not true; Rose Hall Embankment guests volition quite literally be turned away at the edge.

Pool

For a mediocre resort with irksome amenities, the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach's puddle is surprisingly impressive -- and huge. To exist sure, it's non the chicest, and elements of the design are foreign (a Jacuzzi located in the center spews hot water into the pool's cold water,) but it certainly is big, which is important at a 366-room hotel. The swim-up bar is almost what you'd expect, although it appears miniscule compared to the scale of the pool, and is almost constantly surrounded by a swarm of fun-loving, rowdy guests with a drink (or two) in mitt. The early 7 p.k. pool closing time is annoying.

The towel huts from which guests must obtain their towels are inconvenient. Near resorts have attendants stock towels throughout the pool area, simply guests at Iberostar are issued a towel card at check-in that allows them i towel at a time; guests must constantly carry information technology around if they want to dry off after a swim. And heaven forbid anyone lose their menu -- there'southward a steep lost-card fee.

Four restaurants provide variety, but some menus leave much to be desired, and the reservation process is a hurting.

For the nightly rates, Iberostar Rose Hall Beach'southward restaurant variety is impressive. There is a buffet restaurant and beach grill (all-inclusive standards), as well equally three specialty options: the Japanese teppanyaki eatery, Samurai; a steakhouse; and a Cajun eatery chosen Jambalaya. The buffet options vary for the dissimilar theme nights, and the menu is diverse every dark of the week, which is a skillful matter because what a challenge it is to go reservations at the a la carte du jour eateries. If simply 1 reservation can exist made, information technology should surely be at Samurai, which guests consistently prefer over the other options. The beach grill is too open during odd hours to ensure guests don't go hungry.

Though craven is dry and dessert offerings are weak, the food rates decently. The real hurting hither is the reservation procedure for the a la menu restaurants, which requires guests to physically visit the guest services desk (phone calls are not permitted). For same-night dinner reservations, guests must arrive earlier noon; however, most reservations are yanked upward a day in advance. Guests in relaxation mode may forget such details, and become stuck at the cafe every night.

Free room service is also available from late morning 'til nighttime, although the card is slim, with but a handful of generic American and Jamaican cuisine offerings. Service is just as weak; when my meal was brought to my room, the delivery woman unceremoniously dumped it on my Television stand and walked abroad without and so much as a "have a dainty day."

Drinks

Drinks aren't weak, merely just a express number of meridian-shelf liquor options are available.

4 bars -- including a music lounge and a swim-up bar at the pool -- provide roughly the aforementioned beverage bill of fare and service. What varies, notwithstanding, is how well the bartenders mix. Arguably the best drinks come from the lobby bar, which, though a little bit depressing due to poor lighting and crowds of guests either waiting to check-in or waiting for their taxi to take them to the airport, features the bartenders with the most skill and inventiveness.

To the resort'south credit, the drinks are surprisingly stronger than almost all-inclusive resorts provide. Some peak-shelf liquor, such equally Dewar's or Tanqueray, is available; however the selection isn't quite every bit extensive equally at the island's Couples resorts. Still, it seems that each bartender has his or her specialty, and guests would practice all-time to inquire when ordering -- it's almost always the best bet at the bar.

The Star Friends, an energetic squad of hyper-friendly young men and women, wander about the hotel behaving like camp counselors. Think sing-alongs and spontaneous dancing. They host daily games at the beach and in the pool, generally requiring some coerced participation. For success in physical feats such as running across a floating raft, the hotel awarded bottles of rum or T-shirts (but only if the guests returned to the evening cabaret and were willing to choice up their prize on stage).

In the vestibule bar, in the afternoon, I heard a very talented, mellow steel-pulsate and jazz-guitar quintet. Information technology was easily the highlight of the stay.

The evening amusement, however, was a painful spectacle. To put information technology politely, for a highly pretentious New York observer, the Vegas-way dance performance was awful. Throughout the audition, I heard whispers of "What is this? Is this supposed to be funny?" The slightly eroticized ladies in Spandex and granny panties were applauded, if merely out of sympathy.

The following was the comedy performance: a man dressed in a flashy Elvis costume (circa Vegas) was interrupted by a member of the Star team (posing as a member of the audience), who explained, "Elvis, you lot have my shirt." He then walked to the stage and fought Elvis in order to remove his shirt. This was then followed past someone stating, "Elvis, y'all take my pants," "You take my underwear," etc., until somewhen there was a almost-naked Elvis on stage covering himself with an oversize cardboard guitar. The only laughs came from a few children and the German man sitting backside me, who I tin but hope was under the influence of humor-enhancing drugs.
