El Greco Resort

Great location on a cliff right above the Hip Strip, where all the action is. It's a self-contained apartment like hotel. Has its own convenience store, pool and restaurant, all situated on top of a cliff with beautiful views at 11 Queens Drive. If you want to get down to where the action is you can take a little walkway to the top of a high-rise building and take the elevator directly down to the Hip Strip. There is shopping, all kinds of stores, restaurants, hotels, Doctors Cave beach, about anything that you'd want to see or do can be found right here. No taxis, no travel really involved other than the elevator ride down. Quiet when you're up top. The hotel is well used meaning worn but comfortable and rather inexpensive. Everything was clean and in reasonable shape. It was a one bedroom with a kitchen, a balcony suite. We don't cook so restaurants were where we always ate out at. Only kept snacks and drinks in the room. It has security such as it is and is some defense for complex. There's a restaurant that offers breakfast lunch and dinner and a bar with drinks. Very nice pool area. We stayed at this place off and on for 25 years now. 06/18/2024 This location was used as a COVID holding facility during the time as it seems to be government owned. No idea of the conditions any more.

Visited back in 2018 and still holding a dear memory of the place. The hotel/resort, though by far not luxurious, still offers spacious and clean accommodation. The food quality and pool area need to be improved. The staff would go out of their way in order to make their guests feel welcome. An added bonus is the spectacular view over Doctor's Cave.

Do not stay here – hotel website has many wrong information. Lots of mis information on their website. There is no private beach connected to the hotel. The Doctor’s Cave’s beach is elevations lower and streets away. Need to pay to go to the beach $6 per day, they provide a voucher but only one every two days. They don't tell you ahead of time. Everything needs to be paid for separately. Safety deposit box is $5 per day . Worst yet, hotel website says 24 hr check in, but once you get to the hotel, it says check in is 3 pm. We wasted a day since we got there at 9 am. Waited around from. 9 am to 3 pm. When 3 pm came, we needed to wait in line again and started the process to get our room key. People at this hotel are not friendly. They are into turning people away. They look unhappy and don't want to answer questions. There is no concierge as it advertises. Two of the front desk clerks are so unhappy they even argue in front of all of us waiting in line. Very bad altitude. Wifi is intermittent, works in the living room but not in the bedroom. TV is intermittent, once I turned it on, I can’t turn it off. Remote doesn’t work with the TV, first time I was able to change the channels. 2nd day the remote doesn’t work, TV is fixed at one channel and the remote doesn’t work. I have to unplug the power chord to turn the TV on or off, can only watch the channel it’s on. Telephone doesn't work. I asked to speak to a manager, but no manager on duty till 9 am. I waited to speak with her even after 9 am. Unfortunately she just brushed me away. Overall, terrible stay, false advertisement and I won’t come back and not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great customer service. Clean, quiet. Rooms are adequately furnished. All necessary appliances are present. Location is central, you can walk to most places on the strip. Has elevators unlike some other older places. Their breakfast is good and they have a mini supermarket on property with necessities you need on arrival.

Location was good very easy access to downtown,the beach,restaurants etc which was great all were in walking distance. Room was clean and served its purpose. Security was ok no problems.||Breakfast was included which when they had the food you wanted was ok. 4 of the 5 days there they had no bacon. They seem like they did not want to provide juice when you ask for it,whatever the case was something to start the morning off. Pool looked ok but did not use it because not enough chairs.||View from breakfast arpricey. Very nice.||Use if safe was 5 dollars per day,should have been included in the room cost.||Hotel did provide free passes to get on the beach below which was helpful otherwise would have had to pay. Did have to pay for chairs and umbrella at the beach. Beach was nice,food not the greatest,drinks ok but pricy. Restaurants I ate at downtown were good. Locals coming up to you downtown asking for money, you just have to ignore them and keep walking. Overall this was a good trip because of the company I had made it great. Played golf at Cinnamon hill which was really beautiful,had a nice caddy that actually got upset concerning his tip at the end of the round mind you caddy fee was paid up front. But at end of the day I hope to return to play the Witch and Half moon courses. Book your tee times on line much cheaper than if you don't and go pay at tha course.||Other good thing was ELGreco is only ten minutes from the Montego bay airport. Taxi's driver I had was good as I wanted to get some oxtail besides the jerk chicken an he made it happen.|| Would I do it again yes. Avoided the very expensive resort costs for this area and had a great time on a quick getaway budget.

The room was clean and tidy. The a/c worked really well. All the appliances, including the TV, were plugged out when we got there but it all worked once plugged in. Breakfast was good and the view from the restaurant was gorgeous. All in all, good value for money. It was actually way better than I expected.

My stay at EL Greco is always pleasant. The people are always nice. The bathroom and kitchen needs some updating but is always clean. Housekeeping does a wonderful job. The food at the restaurant is tops, the bar is tops as well. Overall quite comfortable and feels like home. Love this place.

I booked this hotel knowing it was not going to be 5 star, but for a budget hotel, I was impressed. ||||The room was clean and comfortable. There was a bar fridge. The tap water is safe to drink.||||The hotel pool was a little run down, but clean and nice to swim in. ||||Doctor's Cave Beach is right across the street. For every 2 nights' stay, you get one free day pass per person to the beach ($5 to get in). El Greco is not at street level. You have to walk through an enclosed bridge to another hotel and take the elevator down. Then you cross the street and are at the beach. I actually really liked this set up because it eliminated noise from the street. ||||Doctor's Cave Beach was lovely. It is not huge. You can walk from one end to the other in about 5 minutes. It was not crowded when I was there. You can rent lounge chairs and umbrellas. There is lots of trees for shade, so you don't need an umbrella if you don't want one. The water was not rough. I could go about 20 feet from shore before it was over my head. There were floating trampolines a bit further out. The water was over my head, but not hard to swim out to and they were fun to play on. ||||El Greco provided towels to bring to the beach. You can exchange them for fresh towels at the concierge. ||||Breakfast was included with our room. There is a choice of Jamaican food or American food. The American breakfast was bacon, eggs, waffles, etc. The Jamaican food was chicken, liver, fish, potatoes, etc. I chose the Jamaican breakfast both days I was there. It was fantastic. It wasn't food I would normally eat for breakfast (meat and potatoes are more a lunch/dinner food for me), but I am so glad I tried it because the flavours and tastes was wonderful. ||||The front desk staff were not very friendly. They were extremely slow checking us in, stop a few times to do other tasks like answer the phone and book a new reservations while we were left waiting. The cleaning woman was very nice. The concierge was very friendly and helpful. He brought our towels straight to the pool for us and walked to the beach himself to get extra passes when the front desk ran out. ||||I would come back to El Greco again. If you are expecting a luxury hotel, this is not the one for you. But if you want something clean and convenient, this is a perfect place.
