We really wanted to like this property and went into it with no expectations however this place was completely run down and old. We’ll start with the Pros: •Beaches are beautiful •The resort is well spaced out and even though this was a holiday with a full resort, we never felt like we were on top of others, having plenty of space. Never had trouble finding a chair by the pool or beach. •Service at the restaurant and bars was decent. You could definitely tell some worked harder than others. The CONS: •Oh my goodness this place is so OLD! Imagine an old motel from 1980 and that’s exactly what this place is and has not been upgraded since it was built. Closed after Covid and reopened 2023 •upon check in, you will receive a physical key for your room and another physical key for your safe box. There is only a door knob for your room door. The buildings are so old, the room doors are hard to open and you are awaken every time a neighbor has to slam their door shut. •these rooms are TINY and the bathroom is the size of a cruise ship. There are no electrical outlets in the bathroom and only TWO total outlets in the entire room. •The shower was so small! We did have hot water however the water pressure in the shower was a slow trickle. •The patio furniture is cheap and not comfortable. Views from the rooms are mostly blocked unless you happen to get a top floor •the beach is NOT private and full of vendors. Stay away from the right side which is full of cruise ship guests.

Jolly Beach is a great family and budget friendly place for the holidays. The staff is helpful and kind. Some of the rooms need updating (particularly the AC units) but when the beach is this perfect who stays in the room? All inclusive makes it easy for everyone to get what they need. Highly Recommend.

The rooms are from a 1940s era. There is no coffee maker nor a standard mini fridge in the room. The AC is a retrofitted chill water system with the controller making you feel you have temp control when there is just on/off as the temp control is fake. No bottled water available but you can get a glass of water when the bar is opened. The coffee area only opens at 6:30am but this is irregular. Asked front desk about it and was roughly told to go and buy a bottle of water in the grocery in the village. The food available is repetitively simple with the drinks being of unheard brands....don't touch the white wine! The gym has very dated equipment with no working treadmill. The natural beach is great though! All staff are afraid of the manager Murphy who just walks around reigning terror on staff but no interaction with clients...not even a good morning. If the beach was not so good , this place would have been shuttered long ago. Go as a last resort.

Worst vacation ever at Jolly Beach resort starting Christmas Eve 2024. I booked through Expedia, the only room available was a double twin. We were celebrating my friend’s milestone birthday, and they chose this resort. I called Expedia regarding the room change. I was told by Expedia's representative to ask for the change at the resort. Day 1-At check in I asked for a room change. I was told the resort was booked, and to check back in the morning. 1st room had twin beds (yes it was a twin bed like in a child’s room). My significant other pushed the 2 beds together. Due to the type of mattress, the edges were extremely hard. We couldn’t lie in the middle of the bed. Day 2-Christmas day the resort manager allowed the change to a king room that was above to restaurant. The new room was old with stained white tiles, but we just wanted a larger bed. After dinner while we’re unpacking, I opened the sliding closet door and the door fell off. The phone did not work. Water was gushing from of the ceiling above the onlyexit from our room. We got wet whenever we left our room. We were told we can get our previous room. My S/o declined. BTW Carla was rude. Day 3-The air conditioner stopped working. Day 4-Only the door and the leak was fixed. Some wait staff at the buffet at breakfast-time were not attentive. The pork chop at the Pizza factory “special dinner” gave 2 in our diarrhea. The pork chop also looked like it had factory grill marks, almost like a fast food burger
