Silver Seas Hotel

The swimming pool doesn't work. No waiters, no chef. The employees take care of the place, doing everything by themselves and always take advantage of the guests all the time.

Stayed for one night on March 7, 2012 & paid $86. Parked in large, free, empty lot with no problem. Staff nice and accommodating, although I think they directed us to restaurant they were working with. But food was good so it was no issue. $86 night seemed the price ceiling for what it was. As other reviews have said the hotel needs some maintenance. A crumbling state of ruin, but rather romantic and could be a really nice place. Room was large and the private balcony overlooking the water was the best. I believed room to be clean, but because old and in need of maintenance seems a bit dingy. Close walk to center of town. Great room/location for a one night stay, but I probably wouldn't stay much longer.

i was dissapionted the bath room was ugly drity .smelling .as soon as we got there the toilet flood out it was bad.i feel like to leave the hotel .the tub was mark up ugly looking. no microwave or frigerator .i was not happy

It was not the best I did not like where it was, I would stay there again but not for a getaway. I would stay for funerals and occasions where I just need a place to sleep and get up and go. Would recommend to someone for a place to sleep but not as a getaway

the bed linen was dirty. there were roaches in the bathroom. there was a 2 hour powercut with no backup generator. shall i go on?!!

The Facade could be a turn off however upon entering the lobby, which was clean, open, spacious with a view directly to the sea. The room was huge with floor to ceiling windows over looking the beautiful caribbean sea. It is a very private place, with a friendly staff. We would definitly stay there again.

So the hotel staff was nice for the most part, and the view from the balcony was amazing. Otherwise, this is not a pleasant place to stay, especially when looking for a nice vacation with your significant other. We booked for 7 days, but left after 5 for yes, Sandals (in Negril). We had to go all out after staying in this hell hole: Upon being shown to our room, we noticed that the ceiling fan light bulbs went out, and we asked for replacements...we never got them. I also noticed (as soon as the staff left us alone, of course), that the towels were dirty, and there was gum on the wall. Now I'm a tough woman from NYC, so I could deal with the gum on the wall. I was also able to deal with the beds that sunk in, in the middle. No good for cuddling at all, but I survived. I also survived the very run down neighborhood the hotel is located in, and the beggars and merchants constantly nagging us around the neighborhood for money, food, to buy their stuff, etc... What I could not tolerate were the "weebles" in my oatmeal. My boyfriend, born and raised in Jamaica, told me that if oats or flour stay shelved too long without being used, little harmless bugs called weebles start to grow. So to make a long story short, although he came to his senses later on, the cook at this hotel could not identify the weebles that infested our oats, and passed it off as cinnamon until after we had eaten most of the oatmeal. When we asked this same cook for some ice to mix our own drinks in our room, he gave us a cooler instead, so we could buy ice and store it there, and then of course, pay him for the use of his own personal item. This guy was literally trying to hustle us for whatever we would spare, but we weren't having it. Besides the cook, this hotel is also located in a really bad part of Ocho Rios. Honestly, the only nice part about this town is climbing Dunn's River Falls. We walked around the majority of Ocho Rios since we had to find all of our own meals, and I can tell you that the neighborhood is run down, ghetto, and not pleasant. Take it from a New Yorker, this is not the town where you want to spend your vacation. I suggest booking in another city; Negril has the best beaches, so if you can't afford an all inclusive place, you will at least have a better shot at a natural beach, and not the dumped sand beaches that Ocho Rios has to offer. The lady who cleaned our room every day was the only pleasant aspect of this stay.

We were unable to go due to the blizzard on the east coast, but the staff were very nice about refunding the full price of the stay even though it was 3 days after the fact. I've rated this hotel based on their customer service over the phone as I never actually landed in Jamaica and you can't complete the survey without filling in every blank.

Do not go, trust me, it is probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It needs to close down, sorry but it is not up to any standards I would expect in NA

staffs were friendly and willing to help no access to a phone in the room or front desk...needed a phone card bed were sliding and noisy WE LOVED THE VIEW
