before you go

  1. Ocean Coral Spring is one of the clearest all-inclusive products in this batch, with official 24-hour all-inclusive evidence.

White sand on Jamaica's north coast in Trelawny. Jamaica's north coast receives lighter sargassum than DR or Mexico. Peak June through August per sargassumreport.com and CARICOOS tracking.

  • Calm water, swimmable straight off the sand
  • Gradual entry, shallow a long way out
  • Caveat: Sargassum seaweed lands seasonally, raked daily

Our full take on Ocean Coral Spring

Ocean Coral Spring is a 24-hour family all-inclusive on Jamaica's north coast, for parents who want a water park, a lazy river and a lively resort. A quiet beach is not what it sells. It is about 40 minutes east of Montego Bay's airport in Trelawny, with 513 rooms on five floors, one large pool feeding the lazy river and slides, a buffet and seven a la carte restaurants, and bars from a piano bar to a bowling alley. The plan runs around the clock and so does the resort.

Guests praise the water park, lazy river and pools, the modern spacious rooms and the breadth of amenities, the dining and bar selection and the beachfront layout for families. The complaints are service that varies by venue and hour, noise that comes with a family resort built for fun, maintenance and room-condition remarks in some reviews, and arrival logistics. The thing people wish they had known is to confirm the transfer directly even when a package advertises transport, because qualifying website bookings of at least three nights include a round-trip MBJ shuttle only when arranged at least 72 hours before arrival.

The plan covers the buffet and the a la carte restaurants, one of them reserved for Privilege guests, the bars, Wi-Fi and the Daisy Club for ages four to twelve; spa treatments cost extra, and airport transport is conditional on the booking terms. The Junior Suite Swim Up puts the pool at the terrace, and the Privilege rooftop suite is the one with an ocean view. Couples after quiet should look at the adults-only resorts along the same coast.
