Which all-inclusive in Jamaica should we stay at?
 
My husband and I are going away in November to Jamaica and are trying to decide between three all-inclusive resorts:
1) San Souci Resort and Spa
2) Round Hill Hotels and Villas
3) Sandals White House (great deal because its a new property)
We are interested in nice rooms with nice views, a nice beach at the hotel and good food. Looking forward to your responses.

I would go with Round Hill.
Sometimes you get what you pay for. New properties need time to work the bugs out. We went to the Sandals Bahamas property in it's second year and they still were having a lot of growing pains and the food just wasn't very good. Although I have not been to Sandals White House, I suspect they may not be up to par yet.

I did a hotel inspection of Sandals Whitehouse. Beautiful resort! The resort is isolated, and the rooms are gorgeous. Lunch buffet was delicious.

Another hotel you might like is Riu Negril. Went in May with a group. Rooms are very nice, long sandy beach, food was excellent - lots of variety. Staff friendly and helpful.

Many reviews on Whitehouse at chris-n-cheryl.com - message board. Mixed and the food is one thing that has been mentioned as a negative more than once.

San Souci:Haven't been there in awhile so can't comment...
Round Hill: Select a villa rather than a room in the older Bungalow building.
Avoid the buffet style lunches. Small beach. High style. Accessible to MoBay-area restaurants like The Houseboat, daytrips to Mayfields Falls.
Sandals Whitehouse: Am NOT a Sandals fan
but stayed this past May across the bay at a private villa and was very, very amused by the goings-on. Food/beach problems here. Outlandish lowball Vegas style and decidedly not Jamaica.

Would recommend Jamaica Inn as a good alternative to the 3 on your list.

We don't do all-inclusives but during our visit to Jamaica earlier this year we spent the second part of the vacation at Jamaica Inn and as it turned out we only ate there.

The food was wonderful! Especially the 5 course dinner, we weren't served anything that we didn't really enjoy.

A second vote for the Jamaica Inn :-)
