  Come for the resort not the food

  Close to airport beautiful property for the price.Limited food options and they are not that great at all.best option is the jerk hut.Alcoholic drinks are tasty not watered down.The buffet had limited food and extremely limited Caribbean dishes.also the hotel has to do better when it comes to the beach chair and poolside seating.Towels and personal items from 6:30am to hold a seat for the day unacceptable but other then that Staff is attentive and friendly.unfortunately I will not be returning based on the food.

  Modern resort, Jamaican hospitality, but not 5-star.

  Ocean Coral Spring Resort is, in my view, a 4-star all-inclusive that delivers value, warm service, and a fun, modern resort experience—just not a true 5-star luxury stay. And that distinction matters. The Rooms & Resort Condition The rooms are modern, spacious, clean, and clearly recently built. Everything felt well made and thoughtfully designed. Outside of two important caveats (more on that below), the rooms were quiet and comfortable. There was very little visible hurricane damage—all restaurants were open and operating normally, and we experienced no issues at all related to that. Service & Hospitality This is where Coral Spring really shines. The staff was consistently friendly, welcoming, and genuinely warm. You truly feel Jamaican hospitality here—service felt natural, not forced. It’s the kind of experience that actually makes you want to get out and explore Jamaica more on a future trip. Beach & Pools The beach is on the smaller side, but it’s white sand with calm water and is conveniently located steps from the pool and restaurants. It works well, but don’t expect a massive beachfront. There is one large main pool for the entire resort. It functions fine, but compared to other resorts with multiple pools, this was a drawback. Securing loungers was also frustrating—chairs were often saved early or already taken, which became a daily annoyance. On the plus side, the resort has excellent water features: water slides, a lazy river, and plenty to keep young families and groups entertained. Food & Drinks There are lots of food options, smoothie bar, cafe, and the restaurant designs are modern and well done aesthetically. The food was good enough with solid variety, but this is where expectations need to be set properly. If you’ve stayed at true 5-star resorts—the food here falls short of that level. Nothing was bad, but it wasn’t memorable or elevated. Interestingly, many guests who ventured off-resort said the local restaurants had excellent food and they felt safe doing so. Bars were a highlight: several good options including the main lounge, sports bar, plus a bowling alley, theatre, live music venues, and the café. The gym was also a perfect size, floor to ceiling windows and well equipped. The Negatives (Worth Knowing) • Check-in was far too long and felt disorganized, which was a frustrating way to start the trip. Waited far too long for our room. • We were given a room with an adjoining door, and even with the door closed, we could clearly hear conversations next door. Not good. If you’re a single family or couple, request a room without an adjoining room. • UPDATED: The Room Safe didn’t work. It said it was closed but I opened it right up. Good thing as I see other recent reviews where money was taken from the safe. Not good! We didn’t bring a lot of cash and we kept our valuables with us so we were okay. But they had better fix this issue or many won’t return. • Pool chair availability, all beach chairs were taken early in the morning and there is only one main pool setup, noticeable drawbacks having to reserve chairs or find extra chairs. Overall Verdict Ocean was Spring Resort is a very good 4-star resort, not a 5-star—and that’s okay if you go in with the right expectations. Clean, modern rooms, strong amenities, great entertainment options, and truly standout Jamaican hospitality make it a worthwhile stay. The service alone made us want to come back to Jamaica and explore beyond the resort next time—which, honestly, says a lot. Bottom line: If you value friendly service, modern accommodations, and a lively resort atmosphere more than gourmet dining or ultra-luxury, Ocean Spring delivers decent value and a genuinely enjoyable experience. Highly recommend supporting Jamaica especially post hurricane!

  Brilliant christmas getaway

  Wonderful stay at the OCS hotel. We were a bit nervous following the hurricane that the hotel wouldnt be fully up and running but we had no need to worry. The complex is big, food options are good and the entertainment team, bar staff and cleaners were always so friendly. In the interest of honesty, I do wish to share some negatives like the long waits for some restaurants and queues at bars, which were a little frustrating at times but this was not a regular occurence in our experience. The tactics for selling timeshare/holiday club on day one were also annoying but not a holiday spoiler. Rooms were clean and the mini bar was regularly restocked. We did have some squeeky wardrobe doors but again nothing we concerned ourselves with. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience of the hotel and cant wait to come back.

  Robbed alongside MANY other families at the Ocean Coral Springs Resort

  After the theft from my room safe at Ocean Coral Springs, twelve other families contacted me describing similar incidents, including one family robbed the night before, with cash taken from their safe. The safe itself was never audited — only room key access was reviewed — and after four days I was not provided any report or explanation. A maintenance worker explained to me that the safes operate using both a keypad code and the room’s master key system, meaning a master key can open the safe if both are not activated together, and that this access data could be reviewed. When I raised this, Vanessa, the Guest Services Supervisor, said she had nothing further to add beyond Josephene, the Loss Prevention Manager, who told me not to waste my breath as the investigation was closed. No one has denied that the safes function this way, and management acknowledged that adding stickers or instructions explaining the dual-lock system would be a good idea, raising serious concerns about guest safety and transparency. When police attended the facts of the sage theft were deliberately changed as well. This has been a great vacation making it that much sadder that this resort is acting in such negligible ways. They said no one entered my room which is a lie as I was asked to sit on my patio while my room was being finished cleaned the day my safe was stolen from”

  Pathetic guest behavior - not a single beach/pool chairs available at 7:15 a.m. …compete for your beachside experience!

  2 star for the kind, patient staff and the buffet. The guests here, while quiet, are incredibly low brow: they take beach towels and don’t return them, so that they can put towels, flip flops, coffee mugs on the beach chairs at 6:15 in the morning. At 7:15a literally EVERY SINGLE POOL AND BEACH CHAIR was taken, …and these people probably wont come back until well after breakfast. The staff are not managing this pathetic behavior. See the uploaded photo. Seeing is believing. We are checking out early, we didn’t come here to compete for a beach experience that we already paid for
