Hotel 3-Star di Saint Andrew, Jamaica

The accommodation was not as depicted. First there is no couch in the room and we did not get a room with a balcony as requested. I went there a day before we checked in and spoke with a lady at the front desk on Thursday the 23rd, since the rest of my family was coming in on the 24th. She assured me that we will be on the same floor, the rooms we requested was available. On check in, none of this occurred and she never relayed our request. The room was barebone, the receptionist told us the photos shown on the websites needs to be taken down. Towels were skimpy, one has to beg for extra towels for a party of four. Fridge was unplugged and empty ! Initially on arrival, I small bottle of water given to each person on arrival and that was it ! For the stay ! One has to beg to get water. We ended up buying at the supermarket. The security was good. Exterior gardens need to be maintained. The linens have seen better days. The tiled floor was dirty in the room. We carried bedroom booties and they were so dirty from the floor that we had to discarded them before we left. Some cafeteria employees are nice, others are grumpy and slow. This would be nice place, if only they could upgrade the furniture and maintained the exterior. It takes for ever for the hot water to appear ! Location is the best-selling point for this small hotel. Security is 👍 great.

This place is really lovely. It was clean and easily accessible. Was able to get out and about Kingston since it was close to everything I wanted to do. Will do this again.

Service was great location was perfect and the friendliest staff I’ve ever dealt with . I Would recommend a stay at Shirley’s Retreat any day of the week. Have fun, relax and enjoy the city life all in one.

Nice hotel. They allowed me to check-in early without paying extra fees.

The locals are very enthusiastic, breakfast is not buffet, I think the standard is an 8-dollar American breakfast, egg bread fruit a cup of juice and tea, simple and just right. It is possible to travel economically.
