Jolly Beach, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Let me start off by saying this resort was an incredible value for the price we paid. First impression upon arrival was an older looking building with an even older sign and awning, underwhelmed. The check in area was nice, clean, and comfortable. The arrival process was seamless and reasonably fast.
The room was on the smaller side to accommodate the king bed. It was noticeably dated and in need of some cosmetic repair. Unlike most travelers, all I care about is a clean comfortable bed and working AC. The room had both. The noise from the hallway carried easily into the room, but the resort wasn’t packed so it was negligible.
Food options were limited. The buffet was average at best. Breakfast was the most complete meal with a variety of breads, meats, fruits and vegetables. There was also an egg made to order and omelet station. The pizza place, the resorts only sit down a la carte restaurant exceeded expectations. While the pizzas were very good, it was their other meals that stole the show. From fresh fish to grilled steak, we never had a bad meal here.
The best part of the resort was the beach. The soft coral white sand beach stretches as far as you can see. We spent the majority of our time just lounging on the chairs. Overall, it was no where near the nicest place I’ve ever stayed. However The staff were friendly, the food was decent, and the drinks were flowing.
We’ll be back next year!
