My wife and I went to celebrate our wedding anniversary, first time in Jamaica. The location of this hotel is excellent, we can walk to the most restaurants, stores, church, etc. on downtown. Most of Jamaican people is so friendly, specially Mr. Johnson a taxi driver designed for this hotel, he is honest, drive carefully, trustable guy. The security on the property is other good thing, all the entrances are protected. The yard and gardens are so clean, very good maintenance to the plants, bushes and trees. My only complain is about their furniture, they should to update 'em; its still acceptable but if they replace'em would be better. The staff on front desk looks like shy guys, for me they affraid their boss located in a small office in the opposite side of the counter. About the time to clean the rooms, for us was too late, usually the housekeepers go to do it at noon, but in this hotel they go at 4:00 PM!!! They had a wonderful idea to locate a Mini-Store inside the property, Excellent!

My husband and I have been going to Ocho Rios for sixteen years. For the first thirteen years we stayed next to Fishermans then we discovered what a great place this might be for us. Checked it out and have been coming here for the last three years. Will never go anywhere else now. Planning our 2008 vacation, and will be going to FPR for sure. Our apartment (one bedroom) was very adequate and will be spending two months in 2008. Usually stay 6 weeks but looking forward to a couple extra weeks. Our only problem is the beach, but if you don't like it go to the public beach a little further over. Management and staff go above and beyond to help. Being Canadians we have met a lot of our Canadian neighbors at FPR and so have gained many new friends who are also repeat customers. Still meeting new friends also who say they will be back. What a great place for relaxing and having a great time.

Me and my sister stayed at the Fishermans Point this summer. We had been to Jamaica before, and though we had never stayed at this particular hotel, we knew of it and thought we knew what to expect.

The one-bedroom had only one air conditioner in the bedroom and the rest of the room was burning hot. It was cooler outside than it was in our hotel room. But the room was spacious and you get what you pay for, so we didn't complain.

Two days into our stay our air conditioner broke and began to drip all over the bed. Air conditioning is something so basic in the hot Jamaican summer, so we went to the front desk to let him know about the problem. The night manager, Chance, was the only person there, and he after ten minutes of him insisting that I was wrong and the air conditioning was working fine, he promised to come up and have a look, and said that he would call someone to fix it in the morning if it really was broken.

This was totally fine, but I told him that I expected the hotel to find us another place to sleep for the night, as the air in the hotel room was so stuffy by this time, that it was hard to breathe. Chance agreed to this, but when he came up to our room and realized that the air conditioner was indeed broken, he said there was no other place for us to stay.

I was extremely upset by this as it seemed to me that Chance was just trying to take advantage of two girls traveling alone, and being difficult instead of helpful. And at my insistence, miraculously there was another room available for us to spend the night in.

The next day someone came to fix our air conditioner but this was only the beginning of the trouble we had at Fisherman’s Point. After this, all of our guests were stopped at the gate and refused entry and turned away. For those friends that remained insistent that they be allowed up, me or my sister had to go down and sign them in as visitors as they would not accept a verbal agreement to let visitors in. Even more ridiculous, any visitors that remained on the hotel premises after 11 o’clock had to pay a $10 fee.

The two of us travel quite a bit, and we have been to Jamaica before. The hotel we stayed at before, Rooms on the Beach, was far, far superior to Fishermans Point for a similar price. The management at Fishermans Point was rude and childish, and only seemed to want to make trouble for us. As a customer I believe that if a room is advertised to have a working air conditioner than it should, and if it doesn’t the management should go out of their way to fix the problem, not make it more difficult for the customer.

I love Jamaica, and I love Oche- the locals are friendly and the food is great and I will definitely go back, but I will NEVER stay at Fisherman’s Point.

Fisherman Point is accessible to downtown Ocho Rios, however the rooms need major major redecorating... My first stay in march 03; i stayed in room # 5 (gorgeous decor); later found out it was one of the privately owned rooms. Stayed there 2 times after, and i have to say the rooms were pretty shabby looking...pictures are just hung anywhere on the wall; no symmetry, furniture is extremely outdated, kitchen utensils old etc. Don't get me wrong the hotel's landscaping is beautiful; but when it comes to the rooms; it's hit or miss.....so goodluck on getting a proper room.
