“A Great place to stay for a great price”

I just want to let you guys know that this place was really a blessing to me. I really enjoyed myself there. The resort is all condo types from studios to 3 BRs. Each area/building has a pool area and the grounds are well kept and were always clean. The villa was open and bright, had a full kitchen with all the items needed to make a meal if you wanted. The bathroom had two doors, which one lead to the hallway and the other to the bedroom which was great. The people were nice there as well. We did however have to request more towels which seemed like they did not want to give more than 2 a day. However after speaking with the maid and letting her know I bathed quite often and I washed my hair like after every swim, she complied and gave me enough towels and was very sweet about it (she was given a nice tip upon departing). Curry is SKy Castle's on site cook and he really cooks good... yummy and I love to eat JA food, so I was really pleased. The price was decent as well. You could leave the grounds and get if for a bit less but his food was well worth it. This resort is located on a hill so in order to get onto main st as the hotel is right there you do have to walk down a rather steep hill and going back up was even more difficult. The first day I thought I would have to check out because I was like" Im not going to make it" as I was up and down all day touring and ventering out but by the end of the second day I was so happy I was getting my little body in better shape. I am slim but slim has nothing to do with being in shape. Thanks to that hill my legs became tone by the time I left the trip. If you do not want to do all that walking you can take a cab up or down the hill. My friend did that a few times but I refussed, the walking became great to me. Once you make it down the hill the beach is right there along with so much to do. You can walk every where to great food, loads of shopping, the movies are right across the Street, etc. It's just great! I was there August 04, So yes I recommend Sky Castle it left me feeling quite the Queen. God bless and enjoy Jamaica and life!

We have just returned from two excellent weeks in August at Sky Castles. The accommodation is spacious,clean and in a superb location with panoramic views of Ochos Rios. Everthing was first rate. the cleanliness of the rooms (We have never had our sheets changed so many times). The grounds which are tended daily. Breakfast and the nightly poolside barbeque which gives you a true flavour of Jamaican food at very reasonable prices. All the staff were helpful and friendly and we would have no hesitation in recommending this property especially if you want to experience a true flavour of Jamaica.

“Good budget option”

We booked a studio (D6) which was quite spacious and clean. The only problem was the television set which needs to be discarded. It had a green tint no matter how much we tried to adjust it. There was no remote and some of the nobs were broken. Sky Castles was a good choice however in that the price was inexpensive, the grounds and swimming pool clean and the staff pleasant.

we stayed at the sky castles resort and had a really wicked time, I was pretty nervous as this was my first time to jamaica and had heard alot of scary stories about it, but i must say theat i was pleasantly surprised the people are so warm kind and friendly and take great pride in being jamaica. the staff at the resort where really nice and down to earth and nothing was too much bother for them, we had an apartment right next to the pool which is ideal for those with children as you can keep a very close eye on them without having to leave the apartment, the food at sky castles was nice too and very cheap everything is fresh and is cooked in front of you. I would recommend that if you go to jamaica dunns river is a must along with swimming with the dolphins and you just have to go to margeritaville. To round it off we had a great time and are trying to go back again this year.

3/9 found this review helpful

Visited Sky Castles in December 2002. We found it to be nothing like it was described in the brochure. Rooms were very poorly kept and the general upkeep of the whole place was substandard even for a one star, others who were staying there for a few days before their cruise ship arrived were eagerly awaiting their departure to say the least! The staff their were ok and friendly enough but be careful where you book a taxi from as when we asked reception to make the arrangements they sent one of their mates who wasn’t an official taxi, an experience not to be forgotten as his car looked as though is had just competed in a local stock car race! Wouldn’t stay there again, if you do I hope your experience is significantly better than ours.....
