Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff. Would stay again in a heart beat!

An oasis of calm and comfort

There's nothing my little family hates more than a vacation resort filled with concrete and loud music. Goldeneye was everything we love. Lush green spaces, lots of places to walk, pool and beach options that aren't overcrowded and extremely pleasant staff, who made our 10month old feel like a celebrity. Definitely saving for our next trip and trying to get friends on board. Food is a bit expensive.

a beautiful resort in a tranquil setting, staff were excellent and friendly. Wifi reception was bit mixed across the resort. The shop was expensive in my opinion. 50usd for a cotton printed t-shirt - hot price.

My wife and I just had the most incredible 4 night stay at GoldenEye for our anniversary. We stayed in one of the Lagoon Cottages which was very roomy and comfortable. We loved being directly on the lagoon where we could swim, kayak or just sit and watch the turtles go by. We enjoyed the beaches and pools on the property as well. All of the staff (front desk, restaurants, grounds, water sports, spa, etc.) were wonderful. And, every meal we had at Bizot Bar and Bamboo Bar was delicious and featured the freshest local ingredients and bright Jamaican flavors in a good variety of traditional dishes. I cannot think of a single negative. We cannot wait to go back next year.

We had a wonderful stay at GoldenEye — it’s a truly stunning property. We loved our beach hut; it was charming, comfortable, and perfectly in keeping with the laid-back vibe of the resort. The grounds are incredible — the beach and especially the lagoon are absolutely magical. We stayed on the beach, but in hindsight, we’d have preferred a lagoon hut if one had been available. The restaurants were good — casual and relaxed, which suited the atmosphere, though on the pricey side (as expected for a place like this). While the overall service felt a bit hands-off and self-service at times, the restaurant staff were amazing — warm, friendly, and genuinely went out of their way to make the experience special. Special thanks to Kevin, who really stood out! There were a few service hiccups — we had breakfast delivered once and it arrived cold with a few things missing, so we didn’t repeat that. We also asked several times for the mini bar fridge to be emptied so we could use it for our own water, but it was never done. GoldenEye is undeniably beautiful and unique, with a one-of-a-kind setting. That said, for the price point, we felt it lacked a bit of the personal touch and polish you'd expect. Still, it's a special place that offers something truly different — peaceful, naturally stunning, and full of character.

A must stay destination if you're looking to truly sit back and relax on vacation.

We selected GoldenEye because my husband is a James Bond scholar. The property was beautiful and the beaches were calm, magnificent, and shallow, although I think it does get deeper as you go out further. My 3 star rating comes because of two reasons. Firstly, the food was ok, nothing memorable, just OK. My problem with this is that at that cost, I expect magnificent. We had an expensive buffet dinner (this includes two drinks and tip) and were expecting memorable. This is a beautiful resort. It is a lot like an all inclusive without the inclusive. It is very secluded (and I get that this is their intention, which is to give their guests privacy.) So if you like all inclusive, this is your type of place. My 3 star rating comes from a personal experience. Before arriving I write to ask if I could invite my cousin for lunch. My first answer was a bit nebulous and strange, so I wrote again and was told that I could not because the property was full and they could not accommodate two extras. We were there for three days and each night me and my husband sat at a table for four with two empty seats. My point here is that I prefer to be spoken to truthfully. If the protocol is that folks in the beach huts are not allowed guests, then just say so because I am sure if Adele asks to have two guests for lunch, she will not get a "sorry, we are full," when that is clearly not the case. But as I said, if you like upscale all-inclusives, this is your place (without the inclusives).

Perfect in every way.

This is a very unique property which is very restful during the day and the property is kept in great condition. The location is quiet noisy at night with the nearby road. The staff are generally friendly and helpful however the front desk are quite abrupt and the restaurant staff are sometimes slow and forgetful. The prices are top dollar but the overall staff service is not 5 star.

Incredible and unique property. Island vibe combined with luxury. Never felt crowded. Food was good but a bit pricey. We will be back ☺️

It's an amazing place, tranquil relaxing happy beautiful

Amazing place and friendly stuffs

Goldeneyes location is sublime, it truly is a hidden gem. However we were so dissatisfied with the service and food options. It was the life guard that brought us water at the beach, there were plenty of other staff but they never once checked to see if we would like a drink. Considering we only saw six other guests they were hardly run off their feet! The food options were also disappointing to say the least. There was only one restaurant in the evening with a very limited menu. We only stayed two night but would have got very bored with the choice very quickly. They did offer us the option of choosing anything and the chef would do it but I really don’t want to think that hard when I am on holiday after all that is what I do at home. The final nail was how expensive both the food and drink were.

I loved everything about Goldeneye. It was the most unique resort I've ever visited, with the lagoon and the beach and the pools offering a variety of water activities. The Accommodations were luxurious, including the huts, but they were also cosy and homey and the wooden slatted windows and high ceilings and mosquito netting around the big high comfortable bed reminded me of a wonderful time gone by. The staff effortlessly remembered our names and everything about us from day one. They looked out for us and anticipated our needs without being intrusive in anyway. Patrick, who seemed quiet, but suggested that I learned to paddle board, and held on until I felt safe enough to do it, was a standout. As were bartenders Jermaine and Milton and Kevin the waiter at Bizot. Nardia is my forever fave because she made me snort with laugher and called me Shell Shell, honestly I miss them already. The little details, like the eco friendliness of the resort (we will never forget the afternoon we spent helping to release the baby turtles), and the pride that the staff take in the resort and each other (Donald bragging about the cooks at Button Beach and Richard giving me resort tidbits on our kayak trip.... soooo good. Also the complimentary Blackwell Rum and the letters on arrival and departure felt very special. We really loved our time there and the people we met and we can't wait to come back!

Must experience, will go back!

Everything

This expensive exceeded our wildest imaginations. We have stayed at hotels all over the world but non comes close to Golden Eye. Everything was top tier, the hotel grounds, the staff the food, the experience. I want to big up Richie who taught me how to paddle board. He’s kind, patient, funny and made me feel very comfortable on the water. Richie big up yuhself and don’t forget our conversation about likability!!! We a come back come see yuh enuh! Not one single staff member walks by you without saying hello! The friendliest and kindest staff. Jamaica is truly a magical place.

Beautiful property with a very welcoming and kind staff, cleanly and safe.

Wonderful, but they need to decide if this is for families with kids or romantic place for couples! Too many unruly noisy children…
