Can you picture yourself sitting in the infinity pool and just staring out to sea?  A great way to daydream about how lucky you are to be in Jamaica.

After you have had either enough swimming or beverages, it is an easy few steps over the open air restaurant that overlooks the beautiful Caribbean.  They open at 8 a.m. for breakfast and is a great way to start the day.  It is also a great way to finish the day with a late afternoon buffet served until 6 p.m.

Whatever your pleasure, the all-inclusive Iberostar Rose Hall Grand Hotel is a great way to spend your vacation and satisfy your appetite!!
In my next Jamaica blog I will tell you about a really fun day at the Jamaica Bobsled run on Mystic Mountain.

The beginning of a great vacation at Iberostar Rose Hall Grand-Jamaica

When you first enter the Iberostar Rose Hall Grand,  you are consumed by the grandness, openess, and beauty of the lobby.  It has that feel of upscale casual elegance.  The Iberostar Rose Hall Grand is part of the Iberostar chain that is well known for quality throughout the Caribbean.

The check in process is very easy.

While the property is a good size at 295 rooms, I wouldn’t necessarily put it in that “mega resort category”.   It’s small enough where people know and recognize you, but big enough to feel very spacious, which is one of the reasons I liked it.   One of the first things I noticed was the friendliness of the staff.
If you dine at the hotel there is a resort casual dress code in most of the restaurants.  I packed linen slacks and tropical shirts which is fine for all of the restauarants.  In my next post I will give you an idea as to what you can expect from the grounds and the very attractive pool areas.
