Property was amazing, staff amazing, we had Pops as a driver and he’s highly recommended to request he knows so much about Jamaica and it’s almost like a tour driving to and from the airport

Only thing I have is only 1 restraint open for dinner, they could rotate the menus or have more specials, same thing every night

Besides the food we will be back for sure, so relaxing and beautiful environment!!!! 5 stars!!

GoldenEye is our favourite escape, it’s a true paradise on earth with the most beautiful beaches, water sport activity, restaurants and great service. We even had the most amazing room facing the sea. Couldn’t dream of a better place!

We stayed in a 2 bed beach villa , the villa was very good , lovely location and well serviced. The beach and lagoon areas are far superior to the beach huts and for a couple the lagoon cottages are probably the way to go. The overall resort is beautiful and an interesting property to stay at . Sadly it was let down by very poor food choice as the main restaurant Gazebo only opened one night during our six night stay. The food and service at Gazebo were very good and comparable to Jamaica Inn where we had stayed the previous week. The rest of the time only the casual restaurant was open with poor food choices compounded by offering a reduced menu from the norm and on occasions poor quality. Some of the staff in particular the beach staff were excellent but when we raised food quality issues it was met with indifference . The service improved when the owner arrived and managers became more visible . Overall given the price point for staying at GoldenEye the food offering was very poor and spoilt our stay.

I have stayed here before but i only returned as i wanted to show my friend the place.
Check in staff were okay and breakfast staff were very good and even made us Jamaican chocolate tea. However check out was lousy. We dealt with a sour individual who did not know how to say please or thank you. I did tell him off. This idiot shoukd know that this is the last impression guest have of the property. Its living off its reputation but is over priced and over rated.

There's nothing my little family hates more than a vacation resort filled with concrete and loud music. Goldeneye was everything we love. Lush green spaces, lots of places to walk, pool and beach options that aren't overcrowded and extremely pleasant staff, who made our 10month old feel like a celebrity. Definitely saving for our next trip and trying to get friends on board. Food is a bit expensive.

a beautiful resort in a tranquil setting, staff were excellent and friendly. Wifi reception was bit mixed across the resort.
The shop was expensive in my opinion. 50usd for a cotton printed t-shirt - hot price.

My wife and I just had the most incredible 4 night stay at GoldenEye for our anniversary. We stayed in one of the Lagoon Cottages which was very roomy and comfortable. We loved being directly on the lagoon where we could swim, kayak or just sit and watch the turtles go by. We enjoyed the beaches and pools on the property as well. All of the staff (front desk, restaurants, grounds, water sports, spa, etc.) were wonderful. And, every meal we had at Bizot Bar and Bamboo Bar was delicious and featured the freshest local ingredients and bright Jamaican flavors in a good variety of traditional dishes. I cannot think of a single negative. We cannot wait to go back next year.

Beautiful property with rich history

We had a wonderful stay at GoldenEye — it’s a truly stunning property. We loved our beach hut; it was charming, comfortable, and perfectly in keeping with the laid-back vibe of the resort. The grounds are incredible — the beach and especially the lagoon are absolutely magical. We stayed on the beach, but in hindsight, we’d have preferred a lagoon hut if one had been available.

The restaurants were good — casual and relaxed, which suited the atmosphere, though on the pricey side (as expected for a place like this). While the overall service felt a bit hands-off and self-service at times, the restaurant staff were amazing — warm, friendly, and genuinely went out of their way to make the experience special. Special thanks to Kevin, who really stood out!

There were a few service hiccups — we had breakfast delivered once and it arrived cold with a few things missing, so we didn’t repeat that. We also asked several times for the mini bar fridge to be emptied so we could use it for our own water, but it was never done.

GoldenEye is undeniably beautiful and unique, with a one-of-a-kind setting. That said, for the price point, we felt it lacked a bit of the personal touch and polish you'd expect. Still, it's a special place that offers something truly different — peaceful, naturally stunning, and full of character.

We selected GoldenEye because my husband is a James Bond scholar. The property was beautiful and the beaches were calm, magnificent, and shallow, although I think it does get deeper as you go out further. My 3 star rating comes because of two reasons. Firstly, the food was ok, nothing memorable, just OK. My problem with this is that at that cost, I expect magnificent. We had an expensive buffet dinner (this includes two drinks and tip) and were expecting memorable.

This is a beautiful resort. It is a lot like an all inclusive without the inclusive. It is very secluded (and I get that this is their intention, which is to give their guests privacy.) So if you like all inclusive, this is your type of place.

My 3 star rating comes from a personal experience. Before arriving I write to ask if I could invite my cousin for lunch. My first answer was a bit nebulous and strange, so I wrote again and was told that I could not because the property was full and they could not accommodate two extras. We were there for three days and each night me and my husband sat at a table for four with two empty seats. My point here is that I prefer to be spoken to truthfully. If the protocol is that folks in the beach huts are not allowed guests, then just say so because I am sure if Adele asks to have two guests for lunch, she will not get a "sorry, we are full," when that is clearly not the case.

But as I said, if you like upscale all-inclusives, this is your place (without the inclusives).

This is a very unique property which is very restful during the day and the property is kept in great condition.
The location is quiet noisy at night with the nearby road.
The staff are generally friendly and helpful however the front desk are quite abrupt and the restaurant staff are sometimes slow and forgetful.
The prices are top dollar but the overall staff service is not 5 star.

Goldeneyes location is sublime, it truly is a hidden gem.
However we were so dissatisfied with the service and food options.
It was the life guard that brought us water at the beach, there were plenty of other staff but they never once checked to see if we would like a drink. Considering we only saw six other guests they were hardly run off their feet!
The food options were also disappointing to say the least. There was only one restaurant in the evening with a very limited menu. We only stayed two night but would have got very bored with the choice very quickly. They did offer us the option of choosing anything and the chef would do it but I really don’t want to think that hard when I am on holiday after all that is what I do at home.
The final nail was how expensive both the food and drink were.

I loved everything about Goldeneye. It was the most unique resort I've ever visited, with the lagoon and the beach and the pools offering a variety of water activities. The Accommodations were luxurious, including the huts, but they were also cosy and homey and the wooden slatted windows and high ceilings and mosquito netting around the big high comfortable bed reminded me of a wonderful time gone by. The staff effortlessly remembered our names and everything about us from day one. They looked out for us and anticipated our needs without being intrusive in anyway. Patrick, who seemed quiet, but suggested that I learned to paddle board, and held on until I felt safe enough to do it, was a standout. As were bartenders Jermaine and Milton and Kevin the waiter at Bizot. Nardia is my forever fave because she made me snort with laugher and called me Shell Shell, honestly I miss them already. The little details, like the eco friendliness of the resort (we will never forget the afternoon we spent helping to release the baby turtles), and the pride that the staff take in the resort and each other (Donald bragging about the cooks at Button Beach and Richard giving me resort tidbits on our kayak trip.... soooo good. Also the complimentary Blackwell Rum and the letters on arrival and departure felt very special.
We really loved our time there and the people we met and we can't wait to come back!

This expensive exceeded our wildest imaginations. We have stayed at hotels all over the world but non comes close to Golden Eye. Everything was top tier, the hotel grounds, the staff the food, the experience. I want to big up Richie who taught me how to paddle board. He’s kind, patient, funny and made me feel very comfortable on the water. Richie big up yuhself and don’t forget our conversation about likability!!! We a come back come see yuh enuh!
Not one single staff member walks by you without saying hello! The friendliest and kindest staff. Jamaica is truly a magical place.

Beyond fantastic!

I cannot say enough good things about this resort. We haven't traveled in over 4 years so wanted our first trip to be special and this place went above and beyond expectations. The service was impeccable. The property was outstanding. We loved to start our days snorkelling with the complimentary gear then head over to the Bamboo Bar for a snack and Red Stripe before taking the kayak around the lagoon to watch the barracuda's, turtles and many other fish. For dinner we'd either go to the Gazebo, Bizot or one of their wonderful buffett nights. Then ending every day at Shabeen's where Glen took great care of us, sourcing a guitar for live music and mixing delicious cocktails!
We were super happy with the level of care by Glen, Lacy Ann, Milton, Alicia, Aston, Jason and so many more!
And the massage... so wonderful!
We can't wait to come back to this gem!

Third time staying at the Golden Eye and I love it here every time. This is a secluded private hotel. It feels like an island in the island. The staff is top tier!!! They are warm, welcoming and just overall great people. You can tell that they really love their job. They make it a point to learn everyone’s name and make you feel right at home. The beach is very clean as well as the pool areas. The ocean could use a little bit more cleaning from all of the algae but not a big deal. Each guest room is a little cottage ranging from a studio style to 2-3 bedrooms with full kitchens. The cottages are huge! You can see the wear and tear in the rooms a bit, the rooms could definitely get upgraded but I think the hotel may be going for the rustic outdoor vibe. Overall, it is amazing for privacy and comfort and the views from this place are breathtaking. 10/10 recommend and I look forward to coming back every year!!)

We stayed in a lagoon cottage. It was amazing to just step into the lagoon for a swim. We saw several sea turtles from our deck which was very cool. Bring bug spray! The mosquitoes were very hungry. The food and cocktails were good - although very expensive! Overall highly recommended. I’m a big Bond fan and had wanted to stay here for a while. Dr No showed when we were staying - iconic!

An absolute oasis. The very best aspect of Golden Eye is the warm, friendly, hospitable, engaging and attentive staff. We'd have a smile on our face all day because the love and attention that was given to us made us feel so special and cared for. It's a gorgeous, quiet respite from the chaos that surrounds us in our daily lives. A true treasure and a memorable treat.
