Fodor's Expert Review Jewel Runaway Bay Beach & Golf Resort

North Coast Hwy., Runaway Bay, St. Ann, Jamaica

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

Geared to active adults and families, this all-inclusive has plenty of space to roam, but still feels intimate. Signature Jewel restaurants with unique menu items, nightclubs, and other amenities are all here—from the championship golf course to the water park, there is something for everyone. At the ranch, the young and young-at-heart can take part in activities like laser tag and campfires, while children can help groom and feed the horses, which lead romantic carriage rides. Three free-form pools, a fitness center, and volleyball, tennis, and basketball courts round out the options. The creative, personable staff works hard to keep standards high as they continue to polish this Jewel resort that offers fun for the whole family.
