Ive stayed at this property many times and is becoming dilapidated! There is no upkeep occurring on any of the interior or exterior ( except the lobby). I was actually shocked at how run down it has become, particularly the exterior and seaside.

Continental breakfast was two slices of bread, butter and coffee. This was horrible. There is no beach, pool or anything to entertain oneself. There is no internet access for guess, the television does not work. The bed springs were all damaged so you felt like you were sleeping on a deflated bed. The plumbing in the bathroom was also faulty. I am so sad and hurt that i trusted Expedia and they recommended this property to me. I am losing my confidence in them.

Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your business. As it relates to the issues mentioned, please note the following: the items served for continental breakfast are the items agreed on by the booking agent. A beach is on property. The pool is not in service, this was so noted on the booking page, wifi is available to all guests. The password can be obtained at the front desk. Plumbing issues may arise but once report it would have been corrected or a room change been given.

Loved that the property is right on the water. Did not like that the property is run down and appears unkempt. The mattresses need replacing and the faucets and tiles appeared old, dirty and in need of repairs.

The pictures they have for this place must be 10 years old. The pool is drained, the bar is gone, the bed was horribly rickety, there's no fridge or coffee maker in the rooms, no washcloths, drinking water is not easily accessible. We had the room booked for 8 nights, but we left after the first. The view from the patio is nice, the feral cats are fun to feed, but that was about it.

Thanks for staying with us. We appreciate your business. We did indicate on the booking page that the pool is out of service. The bar also is not in operation but beverages are available in the lobby area. Also we do not have coffee makers and refrigerator in the rooms and as such we do not advertise same. Please note linens (towels, wash cloth etc)are place in all rooms and DRINKING water is also available on property.

The staffs were friendly the property is very close to the town center of Ocho Rios so it was walking distant to most of the places we wanted to go and things we wanted to do like shopping and dining. The rooms are spacious and clean with two beds to each room . The property is right next to the sea with a balcony for each rooms so you can sit on the balcony and look over into the sea . However there were two small inconveniences that can be fix easily. The Tvs are very small and the property need a stronger wifi system for the rooms. The wifi is stronger in the lobby area though. Overall i would give this property a 8 of 10.

Thanks for booking with us. We appreciate your business. Please note we do not advertise refrigerator or microwave in the rooms. It is also noted on the site that you booked, that the pool is closed. The water from the sink could have been reported so it could be corrected and also the dim light could be replaced with a brighter bulb.

This hotel was nothing like in any of the pics or details. My room although the view was spectacular the internet was sporadic at best. The dated broken tile floors in my room. Water was always cold no warmth for showering(good thing i was burnt from the sun fealt ok lol) the breakfast included dry cold brown toast and a coffee and if you wanted a second cup it was 3000 J. Friendly staff as long as you paid them for whennyou asked directions or where is this or that everything was about extorting thier guests. Would not reccomend to ever go there! Because of its locality going out at night was not an option as you would need an escort to make it back yo the hotel safely which agsin can only be bought off as the locals would not let you near the area to get back unless you paid them. Other tgsn that it was Blast! Lol

Thanks for staying with us. We appreciate your business. While we appreciate your review, some of the claims are quite erroneous. All the rooms are supplied with hot and cold water. Wifi is available in the public areas. The breakfast that comes with the package is a continental breakfast which consists of toast, jam, butter, coffee/tea/juice. A cup of coffee costs U.S.2. (not J3000). Let me also categorically state that there is no extortion going on at this hotel. Had you encountered such an experience a report should have been made to management.

I checked out the next morning staff was great but the property is in terrible condition and needs updating pool was broken, kitchen and bar closed at 5pm continental breakfast was toast and jelly with tea , also no entertainment , however I purchased breakfast from the kitchen and it was great I , she chef and the lady at the front desk tried their best to accommodate us but I decided to leave and check out despite paying for 4 nights and only stayed for one , if they do some updates I would consider revisiting,

Thank you for choosing Silver Seas. We appreciate your business. We did note on the booking page that the pool is currently out of service. The agreed items for the continental breakfast is as you stated above. The restaurant goes on a little later than stated. (Usually when the last customer leaves). However we will address the issues.

I went to this hotel 3 years ago and was amazing, but this time was horrible. The sheets smelt nasty, washroom was clogging. The staff was impolite and not nice, coffee was cold and beyond nasty. The place was disgusting, never again. I ended up leaving and going elsewhere and wasted my money. Don’t stay here, get ur money worth plz!

You stated that you had to end up leaving and going elsewhere however, this booking was for one night and you paid and stayed an additional night.

I've read the previous reviews before booking. Honestly you get what you paid for. The place does need renovations but you forget that once you enter your room and see how spacious it is. The view from the balcony is amazing and deserves 5 stars. And the people who said that there are gangs or it's scary are plain insane lol. I felt very safe, yes you get hassled but it's part of being in Jamaica. The staff was very nice and friendly. I enjoyed my stay.

Hotel is clean,quiet, private, the views are amazing, feel asleep on balcony wind ocean so peaceful, I mean for the price it's an old building, you can't expect the four seasons, The bed was extra clean,no bugs,fresh clean white sheets,towels nice clean scent,super hot water ,easy check in ,good bath room light ,felt very safe ,rented a car for $272.00 it stayed parked until I drove back to airport we walk to kfc,taste patty,skara,bugerking and circle k for junk food.Lots ofactivities in the area Only thing I wish & pray they consider free wifi in the room, u can sit in lobby use it free , the fact there's a small television in the room which I still enjoyed ,but had been nice If i could had watched movies on my phone and scroll tictok until I fell asleep, thats it, that's all my good honest review, but it will be my permanent stay hotel everytime I visit the island.
