This is my fourth visit to The Jewel, and I have to say—it never disappoints! From the moment you arrive, the staff is laser-focused on making your stay truly unforgettable. Whether it's the friendly faces at the front desk, the helpful concierge, the attentive dining staff, or the amazing team on the beach, every single employee I’ve encountered goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional service. Honestly, if I ever stayed anywhere else in Jamaica, I’d want this team to be there—they’re just that amazing at what they do! The food at the restaurants? Consistently delicious. The grounds? Impeccably maintained. And the sunsets from the beach? Absolutely breathtaking! If you’re considering a vacation in Jamaica, I wholeheartedly recommend The Jewel—it’s an experience you won’t regret! 🌴✨ Read less
Magical getaway

I’ve been coming to Jewel Paradise Cove at Runaway Bay for 6 years. I love the spa, beach, water activities, several pools and many dining options. The employees are top notch and keep me coming back year after year. A lovely, safe and fun place to get away. Grounds are beautifully manicured and clean.
Loved the experience

You have a great time trying all the drinks, watching the sea, going to the snorkeling area, there are beautiful little fish, it has very good facilities and the staff is very friendly at all times, since the breakfast time, the delicious smoothies, the service. hyper warm spa, they are attentive without being annoying and they are fun without stopping paying attention to the main thing. I really liked the place and walking next to the sea, in photos it seems smaller but the beach is great and in the little gardens you can see jungle animals :) it is very safe and pleasant to stay here.

This was my 3rd visit to Jewel (2nd long-stay). It's a great go-to spot. Love the cheerful environment and friendly staff. It's good for a quiet solo escape. One MUST try the Radiant Spa while you're there.. and if you do... ask for Naseala -- She's amazing!! I will say though that they do need more variety on the buffet menu (particularly the salad bar) but overall this visit was well enjoyed, and I'm always happy to return. Will recommend to anyone looking for a nice boutique-type tucked away all-inclusive resort in St. Ann, Jamaica. Read less
Janice is the best!

Janice is the best!!!! Try her "ladder" challenge! It is a very small quaint atmosphere! Please keep in mind that the workers live off of tips so tip well if you've been treated well! I would definitely come here again but I would remember to bring floaties and an inner tube for the pool!
The Jewel does not disappoint!
