Guest Reviews

HERVE (4/5): Bien mais bruyant sur la terrasse et sur la plage car le patron met la music à fond. - Le patron vous met la music a fond sur la terrasse il faut oublier la sieste sur la plage car il ne la diminue pas et ne met que ce qui lui plait. Un désastre pour le calme.
Guest (9/5): -
Silva (8/5): Immer wieder gern. - Wir waren schon öfters hier, super Lage und es gefällt uns immer wieder sehr gut. Man darf keinen Luxus erwarten, aber sauber und für unseren Geschmack völlig ok. Das Buffet ist überschaubar, aber man findet immer etwas. Wer es sehr ruhig mag, sollte am anderen Abschnittes des Beaches buchen, da die Musik aus umliegenden Bars oder Hotels doch oft gut zu hören ist.
Andrea (8/5): - The quiet. Calm environment Limited variety of food
Murvette (9/5): - Everything Nothing
Henrique Seiji (10/5): Perfect! - The stay was simply perfect! The hotel’s atmosphere is incredibly cozy, and the food at every meal is delicious, offering both continental options and traditional Jamaican cuisine. There is a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages on the menu for you to enjoy. The facilities are excellent, with reliable Wi-Fi, and a beachfront setting with everything you need to spend the entire day by the sea. I would especially like to highlight the kindness and warm smiles of all the hotel staff, who truly make the stay a unique experience! I couldn’t think of any negative points.
Gallimore (7/5): - Staff was very courteous. The location of the hotel right by the beach is ideal. I had a pleasant stay.
Alfred (10/5): Excellent family resort - The staff are excellent. They are so attentive and caring. The food is authentic and freshly prepared. The facilities could do with a face lift and the air conditioner in the room could be enhanced.
Hernando (9/5): - The staff was super nice and the location was amazing too The wifi didn't work in our room
Quasie (7/5): Was overall good, value for money, - Food choice n options were good, staff great Maybe a little more entertainment
Lorna (8/5): -
Tim (8/5): -
Lazar (10/5): Great stay, would definitely come back again. - Very friendly stuff, amazing beach, overall very nice experience.
Olivia (3/5): Basically the beach saved the trip - The beach and location Food was the same daily or similar and not great! The wifi was terrible, we had no hot water and despite making the staff aware no one did anything about it. Most the staff were friendly but some were rude! It was so loud every night hardly slept! no beach towels were available until our last day...

Lamparter (5/5): Bevorzugte Strandlage. - Bevorzugte Lage unmittelbar am besten Sandstrand der Insel. Man fühlte sich sicher. Viele deutschsprachige Gäste. Die Gartenanlage ist gepflegt. Gebuchter Meerblick war nicht verfügbar. Tresor war unbrauchbar und wäre zusätzlichen berechnet worden. Das Personal war teilweise sehr nett, teilweise jedoch auch gelangweilt. Speisen schmackhaft jedoch mit wenig Auswahl und mit zerhackten Knochen. In der Umgebung wurde oftmals bis 4 Uhr früh laute Musik gespielt.
Roman (9/5): Schöner Aufenthalt und super Essen - Super Lage und Preis -und Leistungsverhältnis. Sehr gutes Essen und immer frisch und heiss. Sehr nettes Personal, können das Hotel für 4-5 Tage absolut empfehlen. Grossen Dank an Merkela an der Reception, super freundlich und Service. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen.Wie die meisten Hotels hier
Dagmar (8/5): Wer etwas Ruhe sucht, findet sie hier nicht - Fantastische Lage direkt am Strand. Kleine nette Anlage, wunderschöner Garten mit Palmen. Die Zimmerausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Oft nur wenig Wasserdruck zum Duschen, teilweise nur kaltes Wasser bei Stoßzeiten. Essen einfach, wenig Auswahl. Bei kurzem Aufenthalt fällt das nicht so ins Gewicht. Sehr laut rundherum durch die angrenzenden Bars. Das muss man mögen!
Ranee (9/5): -
Senior (7/5): Great staff, I would go again - I loved the staff and the space I didn't like the shower always getting full of water
Sean (7/5): -
Terry-Ann (7/5): - The food was good and especially the breakfast Not enough entertainment and activities to do on the beach.
Raluca (10/5): Amazing stay - Excellent location, Delicious food
Sophia (7/5): Great value for the money - The staff...so friendly..so helpful..so kind..so accomadating..they go the extra mile Some items on the menu just tooo spicy. (Ie..chicken kebob..crazy spicy..stewed beef with mushrooms crazy spicey)
Bygrave (7/5): Overall a lovely stay, as a Full-board not All Inclusive hotel. - The staff were very friendly and attentive. The rooms had the added private veranda, which allowed a bit of quiet time away from the main areas and travelling companions. I didn't feel it should be All-Inclusive, when you had to buy wine, and food was only available at specific times, with a 5-hour gap between lunch and dinner. This hotel should be FB not AI.
Boone (9/5): -
Karene (8/5): - Breakfast was good. Could have been better variety of meals.
Anja (10/5): Einfaches familiäres Hotel mit sehr gutem Essen und Service - Das Personal war sehr nett, tolle leckere Küche, schöner Strand, check in problemlos, gutes Preis- Leistungsverältnis Der Pool war ein bisschen klein, aber für uns nicht wichtig...
Natasha (4/5): Expensive for minimal service stsy - Barbara in the restaurant was amazing,always cheery and ready to help. I wasn't given the room I had booked as it was no longer available!! The grounds were ok but the smell awful States all inclusive but its not,its full board. Only get breakfast lunch and dinner and there is no self selection buffet they serve you and there is minimal choice. No deserts only fruit if you request it. The beach was nice and clean tho
Maricela (8/5): -
Ranford (9/5): Had a great stay - Staff and the beach location Beds
Michelle (8/5): Lovely place to stay the staff are fantastic, the food is nice and everyone is very attentive! Perfect location on the b - Nice location and very clean! Beautiful well kept gardens The safe was just too small for modern technology eg iPads etc
Clermont (10/5): -
DANIEL (4/5): - Varios días sin agua caliente . No es excusa , que la falta de electricidad sea una causa externa. Deben contar con un equipo generador. El hotel gana igual y no devuelven nada. Lo barato sale caro.
Alessio (8/5): Relax totale - La posizione direttamente sulla spiaggia. L’ambiente molto calmo e rilassante. Potrebbe essere ampliata la scelta al buffet.
Campbell (10/5): -
MaryLou (8/5): Great - Meals were good, location great, staff great Having to buy wine this year with dinner. Washroom in the dining room needs update.
Sonia Adela (8/5): Playa hermosa!! - La playa!! Podes quedarte en las reposeras o caminar por toda la gran playa 7 Millas, pasamos año nuevo ahí y fue hermoso, prepararon una comida especial y arreglaron todo muy bonito. La comida el resto de los días es básicamente jamaiquina lo que significa que muchas cosas estaban muy picantes, pero nos acomodamos. Tendría que tener un poco de animación, igual la idea era disfrutar de la hermosa playa y los atardeceres divinos!! Nos tocaron días hermosos, pero si está feo ahí solo podes estar en la habitación no hay otra cosa, la comida es picante y no había por ejemplo carnes que no tuvieron. El agua para bañarte es tibia a fría.
MikeClarke (10/5): Overall Great Stay! - Superb friendly staff, good food with gluten free options available. Each room has that fading colonial comfortable charm. Set in beautiful well kept gardens. Would definitely return again and again! Had to change room due to noise from the hotel laundry Weekend Noisy bar next door (beyond the control of the hotel)
Lisakelley29 (10/5): Best girls trip - My friend and I spent a girls week at the resort this past week and we had the Best time. The staff were all very friendly and super helpful, we wanted for nothing, for the entire week. The food was Awesome, however, the bar drinks could definitely use some help, however, overall, I give them 5 stars. The room was cleaned daily, please consider tipping your room staff, they work hard and do a great job. The grounds are cleaned daily and the beach was raked, starting at 6:00 i every morning. The security is on the resort 24 hours a day, and as 2 females traveling together, we never felt unsafe. Please do not expect 5 star gourmet meals at a 3 star resort, you will be disappointed. There is a club just a few spots down that does get loud at night, you may want to bring ear plugs, however, we were on the bottom floor in the Executive Suite and with the doors shut, the air conditioner drowned out the noise, so we did not hear it unless we went into the living room area. I believe this was my 9th trip to Negril and if you have cancelled due to the hurricane, please know that the resorts are up and running, the roads from the airport are open, restaurants are open, and there is no reason to put it off.
Donna (10/5): - Very good Everything was good
green (7/5): Hotel was nice and cosy - Meals were sufficient and delicious
Peter (7/5): Lovely location , style of hotel and sta - Location on the beach and staff were lovely Food could be more varied
charlene (7/5): -
Palmer (3/5): - The staff was nice and I had a good breakfast The food was very limited no pastries the TV was not working the wifi did work they say its all inclusive but if u want a glass of wine u of to buy it the place needs a lot of upgrading the money they charge for the hotel dont me the expectation
Bad (10/5): - Excellent service, good food and great value for money. Staff were very helpful
sandybW2274BV (10/5): Excellent staff - I have stayed at Merrils on a number of occasions, and Barbara will always go above and beyond to help me with my needs and any problems that may arise.
Flyer23095952078 (2/5): Really bad - This hotel I wouldn't recommend at all I went with my daughter and best friend for 2 weeks our original hotel was the azul but we changed it so we could support the smaller local businesses and we wanted a more quite atmosphere i also took a full suitcase of stuff to donate the 1st couple of days being there was great but then things wasn't feeling right about this place as we came back to our room from the Italian bar one evening to find a full bar of the hotel soap all round our door handle to our apartment when we approached the security they where not sympathetic about it at all they played it out like they didn't want to see it so the next day I reported it to the receptionist they promised us there was nothing to worry about and that they would up there security on our room by this point I wasn't convinced the place was safe the staff was becoming very rude and snapping when you asked questions as they ran out of beers and for days still didn't have any even when we left the food as never been jamican food at all not very nice and you have alot of the same thing through the week the rooms are very very damp so damp i had to dry my phone out as it wouldn't charge due to the changing bit being damp everyday we gave tips to the staff but we felt pressured by certain staff member into going with them for the excursions but he was trying to charge way way over to how much you can really get them for so I found my own tour guide which was alot better our last 2 days of the holiday was made into a nightmare with this hotel the security is non existence we had gone back to our room to find the door wide open and our things had been ransacked but there was no sign of force entry a key had definitely been used it was sickening we approached the security which had no interest at all just kept laughing yes laughing saying so what's missing we asked for the police to be called they refused until we say what's missing only 200 jmd they had took but it was the principal I called the police myself when the police arrived straight away he said to the security that they had done it and let themselves in with a key disgusting behaviour we contacted love holidays to raise our concerns as clearly we did not feel safe at this hotel at all and 3 woman miles away from home love holidays was not helpful at all it was gone midnight by time we had spoke to the police and packed our cases to leave luckily they have uber cabs we managed to check in to the only 1 guest house available at such time which was 2 min away from Rick's cafe we stayed for 1 night then changed hotel to one closer to the merrils as we had a early morning transfer back to the airport. I contacted love holidays again to request a refund from the hotel this was the hotels response they said they was no sign of a forced break in I was a problem from the start how dare they I was shocked how they really thought they can justify there actions and unexceptable behaviour my friend had dyed her hair and some of the dye had gone on one there towels my friend offered to pay for it but she didn't get chance to because we had left for our own safety but they told love holidays that I had tried bringing non guest on to the premises which was definitely a lie I had my own tour guide who everyday came and waited across the road from the building and never once tried to enter the grounds they had made out like we where party animals and we clearly are not they said we had damage property mentioning the towel and that our hotel room shown no signs of a break in so they will not be refunding me they can keep the money all i know is that people specialy woman travelling alone to these places be very courteous and aware of the dangers in this hotel alone. Other than the merrils hotel negril is a beautiful place with beautiful people this is just the unfortunately worst place I've ever stayed at in my life as for the case full of donations we went and gave them to the local people who really appreciate them as much as we appreciated them.
Kereon (7/5): - The food was very good even though there weren't much to choose from. The staff was extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed. The rooms need some improvement though and I wished there were bottled water there for us each day. There was absolutely no entertainment which was very disappointing. Overall it was a nice experience
Gabriel (9/5): - Location and beach. La ubicación y la playa del hotel. -
Chase (8/5): - I like location food and accommodation I went for my birthday I believe I would be treated special No room decorating or at dinner no table set up its seems like they are locking communication
Kerri-Ann (8/5): I totally enjoyed by holoiday stay and would visit again - All meals were delicious; however, there were not many choices. The staff were pleased while serving and answered any questions asked. I liked the quietness, and the grounds are clean. The building is welcoming. There was no night entertainment, and the music was limited. The guest had to entertain themself by playing games. The food choices were very limited, and sometimes only one server was attending to guests, so there was a long line at the buffet.
Flor (10/5): Mi estadía en merrils - Absolutamente todo el hotel me pareció muy bueno. La relación precio calidad es destacable. La amabilidad de la gente, la comida riquísima. Me cuesta mucho ser objetiva porque realmente la pasé genial. Recomiendo mucho venir acá. Solo háganse la idea de que sirven las 3 comidas, y no es como los hoteles de cadena que sirven comida masivamente. Este es un hotel pequeño Nada, todo genial
Kněbort (10/5): -
Campbell (10/5): - Great location staff were amazing. No complanits. Looking forward to.stayinv there again. Food score over 10 very tasty...cooked well ...love every mintue Nothing
Sarah (9/5): Great Value! - Perfect location. Lovely staff. Cleanliness of public bathroom, toilet in room kept malfunctioning.
Courtney (7/5): Up up up - The staff went above and beyond especially Barbra in the bar and dining area Dated
westy401 (6/5): Great location, not entirely safe - I am a returning guest and I had another great stay at Merrils. The positives are the staff, who really do look after you, and the food, which is excellent. Also, the location is one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. What a beach. Special mention to Mikey who does a great boat trip, and Charlie who looked after us perfectly. What I had an issue with this time round was the beach boys seemed to be far more aggressive. We got called a very rude Jamaican word simply for refusing to buy drugs. Admittedly this is not the fault of the hotel, but the security guard watched the whole encounter and didnt say a word. My second issue was the robbery that happened. The room next door to us was broken into one evening, and the poor people that had been robbed were trying to get their lives in order at about 2AM. They called the police and by the sounds of their complaints they didnt receive much assistance. What was really disappointing was no one from the hotel thought to check if our room had been broken into (it turned out it had, and our door had clearly been tried). Security is a massive problem in Negril, unless you are staying on the cliffs then you are vulnerable. Im not saying dont stay at this hotel, but please do ensure every safety measure that they can possibly offer is enacted because the police wont be a help. Merrils staff and the real estate is brilliant, but I really do wish they get a grip with security, many guests felt vulnerable after the break in and no one thought it was necessary to offer some reassurance.
Christine (8/5): - Beautiful property, very tropical, well maintained, mostly friendly staff especially Charlie and Jovan in the dining room...gorgeous beach area. Food was mediocre , drinks not great ...We stayed in the executive suite oceanfront which was fabulous. Would definitely stay here again!
Elizabeth (7/5): It' was a good stay, value for money - It was quiet and relaxing The meal options could have been a little bit more diverse
David (8/5): - The staff was great
Danica (10/5): - We stayed here for a week in August. Family of five. The best thing about the hotel is the staff, they are amazing! Professional, welcoming, kind and funny. The food is nice, mostly Caribbean with some international dishes as well. Would have been nice to have some snack options inbetween meals, sandwiches etc as a few times we missed the allocated times. The beach is stunning! White sand and clear blue seas.
Patrice (8/5): Lovely quiet intimate getaway venue - Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely beach. Delicious food. Quiet and tranquil days. Value for money. Its a small locally run (boutique) resort that has managed to remain in business despite much larger hotels moving in and taking over the customer base due to more advantageous economies of scale. Next door to a party venue that plays music until 3 am on Friday/Saturday. Mosquitoes. They sprayed but the pesky insects still found their way in through gaps above doors and windows. Room was a bit dated but it was clean.
kmss2025 (4/5): Birthday and a reset - Loved my room, Staff was okay as long as you were tipping. Seemed the staff were always first before myself. No problem but there was a lot of them. This is my 8th timing staying and highly disappointed. Food was blah... I get the price of everything has gone up! Just breathed and didn't enjoy it. I will be looking for a new place to stay :(
Olando (8/5): - beach was very close
Stewart (4/5): - Property needs refurbishing
SAMANTHA (10/5): -
Jason (7/5): - Location right in the beach and great staff. Aggressive panhandlers that would make you feel unsafe and uncomfortable, as they would stand on the beach staring at you, trying to sell you marijuana and anything else they could think of. Resort security was present and did a great job but the laws allow these panhandlers to be on the beach within a certain area.
Vladimir (10/5): - Great property for solo travelers, or a couple. The staff is amazing, the food is great, it’s ideal for a long weekend or 2 weeks. The property doenst have entertainment if that’s what you’re looking, it’s a quiet beachfront property with amazing people.
Kathleen (1/5): Better sweet - The location, beachfront was perfect. The breakfast and lunch wasn't bad. Some of the workers were ok. The rooms weren't smelling good, they had to move us twice one of the room next to mine was filled with rat bats mess it was so disgusting I finally got a room the 3rd night which was much better. I tried to give some of the staff a little tip most of them were appreciative but the one name Charley was not, just letting him, know he didn't do much more than the others and I didn't have to give anything because they were doing their job.
paulinegP7538JK (10/5): When you want to relax go to Merrill - It's a great place to go to relax. It's quiet' and the staff is great and very friendly. The food was very good. It's a must visit
Gilman (8/5): Great stay. We will go back. - The breakfast was great. That cook knew his job well. We could all totally relax the entire time. Great that a supermarket was just next door. Other stores and restaurants were very nearby, so we cold do a little shopping. Took a long time to get there from where we live (4 hours)
Stacey (6/5): Pleasant -
Stacey (10/5): Exceptional -
cristinacY6133SH (2/5): THIEVES!! - TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! A month after my check out, i still haven't received the $200 refund, for the security deposit of two rooms. Impossible to contact the resort, since the website address is wrong, and for whats app they gave me a short and elusive answer. THIEVES!!
Sophia (9/5): Superb -
sallybG5004YR (10/5): Best vacation ever!! - Fab place! Recommend it for sure! Food is good, rooms cannot be faulted, bar staff always friendly and up for a chat. Weather and views are something else! Entertainment team amazing! MJ is a star, nothing is too much and always positive! Come back soon.
Sharon (10/5): Exceptional -
Elsa (10/5): - Wonderful staff, beach and ocean view room .
Janet Thwing (8/5): - Small, family owned, simple, basic, clean! Healthy food, drinks, AI , plus a shade/sun beach with a very kind staff.
Petra (10/5): - Loved my stay
maria (8/5): - Staff was very helpful. Location was excellent, right on the beach. Resort is old and rooms are in need of some renovation, but very clean.
Richard (10/5): - Amazing staff and food!
Nyoka (2/5): I don't want to see the first if this is the second one - I like the FEMALE staff they were friendly and helpful. Room had a LED mirror Honestly its was not good value for money, lots of upgrades need to do done with the furniture qbd appliances very dated, even if they want to flip it and say it is a boutique resort it needs to be upgraded. Food was not good, it looked appealing but lacked flavour very bland would not eat half the meals got to the point of eating to survive until we decided to buy food off property which was so surprising based on the reviews i read praising the food. They also need a snack bar for when you want something between meals because the food times are very spaced. Male staff were rude and made ys uncomfortable with either being rude or overbearing, the pool needs a partition so that whoever is eating or at the bar won't just be staring at us the whole time, but that wasnt something that happened because the pool was closed the whole time we were there but even if it was open we wouldnt have gone in because of the reasons mentioned before. And to top it off my partner was stung by a jellyfish which i know wasn't the fault of the resort but it really topped off a really uncomfortable stay. We couldnt even watch tv because the speakers were terrible could hardly hear and it wasnt a smart tv either so kiss goodbye netflix or any other platform. Really disappointed because we wanted to support a smaller business instead of a hotel but i see why hotels are more appealing as they are just slightly more expensive but much more comfortable. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK
john (10/5): A little Gem. - Merrils is a very nice family-owned resort. Nice little pool and a great beach. I would have loved some Appleton rum and rum cream in my coffee after Dinner, besides that awesome stay!
Madélia (8/5): - Somewhat okay resort - but could really used some revamp… the food is also not really good. Very cute front beach.
Gregory (10/5): - I like the following:beach access, staff, location, safety, food. I disliked the following: peddlers Overall I like the property and the staff is wonderful
Claire (6/5): - We recently stayed at merrils, and while there were many wonderful aspects of our trip, there were also some significant disappointments. First, the positives—this resort is located on one of the most stunning beaches we’ve ever seen. The water is crystal clear, the sand is soft, and the sunsets are breathtaking. The food was also very good, and the staff (outside of management) were friendly and welcoming, making an effort to ensure guests had a great experience. Unfortunately, our experience with management and our upgraded room left much to be desired. We paid for an upgrade, expecting a better experience, but instead, we had no WiFi and had to endure extremely loud noise until 2 AM the first night and 4 AM the second. We also requested multiple room fixes that were never addressed. Each time we inquired about speaking with the manager, we were given the runaround—told he would be there at 10 AM, then asked to return later, and we finally spoke with him at 12:30 PM. There was no real apology or effort to make things right. On our last night, we moved to a different room, which was a slight improvement, but outside noise was still an issue. If you are considering staying here, I’d highly recommend booking a room closer to the ocean and away from the street. Additionally, while the beach is beautiful, be prepared for a fair amount of solicitors. Overall, this resort has a lot of potential, but management needs to improve. If you choose the right room and go in with.
Susan (8/5): A very nice visit - We wanted to stay in a small resort on the beach in Negril. Merrill‘s Beach resort ll was perfect in that respect. It was a beautiful setting!! We had a nice room near the beach and the swimming pool. The grounds were quite beautiful and the staff was amazing. They were very kind, helpful and friendly. The weather and the water were perfect. We would stay there again. My only complaint would be that the food was just OK. I know it must be hard to prepare three meals a day for a diverse group of people from all over the US and Europe. We ate a few dinners out but were unprepared for the cost of taxis and meals outside the resort. This is definitely something to consider when you are planning a trip to Negril. Drinks were also all inclusive and they varied all over the map depending on who was making them. Some were excellent and some were not worth drinking. I would recommend taking a lot of cash as most places outside the resort, unless they’re very high-end, do not take credit cards. One last comment: Jamaican people are extraordinarily hospitable and friendly. People from all over the world could learn from them.
sunlover057 (10/5): Good Time - This was our 2nd time at Merrill’s, we had a great time. Rooms were good, food was good, staff was great. I do wish they wore name tags so we would know who they were. Not a huge beach, but plenty of shade if that’s what you want. Food did get a little repetitious, but we were there 3 weeks. This is not a large fancy all inclusive, but it meets our needs. The only complaint we have, and this is not Merrill’s fault, is Kenny’s Italian Restaurant across the street. At least one night a week they have some kind of party with extremely loud music until 3 or 4 in the morning. Our room just about shook with the boom boom boom.
Winsome (8/5): Very good - The location was good. Hotel and grounds well maintained. The suite was very nice, spacious, with modern furnishings. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. My issues were checked and addressed in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend this hotel to friends The shower was blocked, mosquitoes in the room. I asked for the floors to be mopped and the rooms to be sprayed
robert (8/5): - the rooms have been upgraded which is a good thing because they were starting to show their age. the beach is still excellent and the grounds are well kept. the staff is friendly and always willing to help with any questions or requests
Greg (8/5): - The Negril Beach is always Great, There was no safe in the room
Deisy (8/5): Merrill’s fine - Convenient and comfortable. The beach is beautiful just steps from your room 🇯🇲🥰🇯🇲 Everything was ok just the food gets cold fast, the fish with lots of bones makes it little impossible to eat and enjoy. Feel like food and taxi or drivers can be a little expensive so this all inclusive option was fine for us.
Micheala (8/5): Safe and Peaceful - Food was good…. Great view of the beach
J2904CJkarlao (10/5): Small resort, great vibes 🇯🇲 - We visited Merrill’s in February 2025, this resort is small, they have done some renovations since our last visit. Rooms are basic but we only sleep in our rooms. Nice balcony overlooking the resort. Food was good with updates to the menu. All staff members are fantastic, from seeing Diego’s smiling face every morning greeting you. The staff at the front office great service always. The bar staff Marlin is the best. Barbara and Charlie in the dining room always on top of things. Miss twins, ( my name for her) , fabulous lady, Narda ? Fabulous service at the bar. The young gentlemen and young lady at the egg station where amazing and friendly. And I have to mention our housekeeper Natasha always has a smile on her face and our room was cleaned daily. And Veronica who we meet 4 years ago always happy to see us when we return. This trip to Merrill’s was absolutely the best one yet. Already booked for next year 🇯🇲
