The resort is very outdated. The staff was not cooperative and the hotel is very understaffed. It was very limited food choice. Lines were everywhere to get food and/or drink. They don’t clean rooms daily and it is known. But they do provide towels upon request. The power was gone many times. When there is no power, restaurants are providing even less food. No bear or soda is available. The only one thing that goes for this place is a beautiful beach and the sea is awesome.

Very tired resort. The staff are mostly amazing. Had an issue at checkin and checkout. Not pleased. Not very organized and if you ask anything about activities happening at the resort the front desk knows nothing. The beach is absolutely perfect and fun. The one manager we give big applause is Terrance, always goes above and beyond. Seating for meals is painful, why they need our room number and to seat us does not make sense as it is all inclusive. I could go on forever but if you want a nice beach this is the place to go.

The beach is beautiful, but the room was awful. There was no ocean view, even though we booked a room with an ocean view on Expedia. The room smelled musty. There were several power outages. The ac was not working properly. There was no door on the closet. The shower door was falling off. The toilet tank was dripping. The toilet seat was loose and wobbling. In general things in the room were dated and in need of repair. But the beach and pool were beautiful. The food was good -not great, but good. However, you were pretty much limited to the one buffet. The other restaurant (the Pizza Factory) could only handle 80 guests per night and if you wanted to make a reservation for that evening you had to get online around 6:45 and wait until 7:30am when they start taking reservations. They are understaffed. The grill by the pool was a nice option for lunch (open from 12-5) for burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken, etc. The staff was hit or miss - some nice and helpful, some not so.

The beach was beautiful and very clean. Unfortunately the rooms were very outdated, our bathroom door didn't close and the resort lost power a few times during the day. So no AC, no way to charge our phones and no lights. The breakfast buffet was delicious, omelets were great but the indoor dining was full of mosquitoes and outside the birds were trying to grab a bite off your plate. The alcoholic drinks tasted a bit weird. The best drink was a passion fruit mojito but they were never consistent. A bartender named Patrick made the best ones but he was only there one day of our stay. Also house keeping was not available until 9 am and fresh towels were not given to you if you didn't ask. The pools were amazing but the poolside bar closed too early. If someone really took care of this property it would b soooo much better.

The room was very dated and needed updating. No elevator but porter will carry your suitcase up and down stairs for you. Most staff accomodating and some were very short with guests. Food was good wide variety in buffet hard to get a reservation in Italian restaurant Long bar needs to open sooner in day.

Our stay at Jolly Beach was great - it helped that it was 82 degrees there and 12 degrees back home. We were a group of 8 celebrating a birthday. The restaurant and bar staff were super helpful and accommodating. Our room was a bit dated but totally functional and comfortable. I would definitely go back and recommend to my friends. Thanks

This was the worst resort I have ever stayed at. It hasn’t been updated probably since the 90’s. The room was god awful and dirty. There was only one restaurant, the staff was not kind and not helpful at all. I’m very sad that I spent money on staying here. I would never recommend this to anyone. Very very disappointed.

It was a quick getaway, and really enjoyed our time at Jolly Resort. If you get a chance please ask for Delesha Robert’s, one of the best servers, I have ever seen, her service was amazing. Very relaxing, beautiful beach! My only complaint, was numerous guests that vacation there frequent, took well advantage of staff, eating at special restaurant over and over and tying up all chairs on beach. There needs to be a better system, to ensure all guests get to enjoy all amenities! People actually had to wake at 6am to go stand in line to make dinner reservations, and were still turned away, because somehow these guests were booking over and over for 12 guests at a time. Other than that, resort is definitely on the older side, but has character, and was a great trip

The food was less desirable. Maybe offer appetizers or cheese and crackers. Sandwiches for lunch instead of sliced turkey and cheese with no bread. More salad selections. Different pasta dishes. Breakfast was always cold unless you got an omelet.

Value resort so the rooms are outdated as are some common areas. Beds comfy though. There were quite a lot of easy updates that should be done that would go a long way. Food was okay… only 1 non buffet option that was a bit challenging to get into. Coffee shop was only coffee and tea… no fun coffee drinks and pastries as I’ve seen at other resorts but that was ok. Shout out to Delcia in the buffet for her help and smile, the omelet makers who were awesome and to the towel lady who was so pleasant. Now… the beach was phenomenal! Gorgeous spot, pretty easy to get chairs, not crowded, views spectacular. Staffing was hit or miss .. bar staff seemed short staffed and a bit grumpy …dining staff and front desk was mostly nice and helpful. Easy to get taxi service to get around the island.
