Silver Seas Hotel in Ocho Rios

If you like classic places and want to be in a scene from Casablanca.......The Silver Seas is the place you want to be. It has class and elegance that you don't see anymore. Yes it needs some renovations but the charm this hotel exudes is second to none! The staff are wonderful. Treat yourself to another time. I wouldn't even consider an all inclusive […] after having stayed for a week at the Silver Seas!!! Lees meer

Room was very large and very tired. Had a magnificent view over the ocean- as did all the other rooms. Also the rooms are right on the water. Two double beds but only one lamp in main area. Bathtub hand painted white but really showed its age. Hotel quite well located re the centre of Ochie. No in room safe - 2 star but could leave valuables @ front […] desk. However the clerk listed every single thing, every money bill- we had 3 different currencies, every personal card, every single piece of jewelry! Did not see anyone eating @ hotel, very few people in bar- which was very cheap Lees meer

My recent in early march was comfortable. Great location to main attractions. A beautiful property with breathtaking view. I must admit the mattress could be updated. Meals were available upon request but choices were limited. The staff were courteous and very prompt to fulfill request. Internet access was only available in lobby. Overall a good stay […] for the money ... Lees meer

We had a lovely patio that overlooked the ocean. We would watch the cruise ships coming and going as well as the party boats that passed each day on their way to Mohagany Beach. We had a very clean swimming pool to swim in with a nice sunbathing area as well. The bartender, Barry, was very nice and friendly. He made great Bloody Mary's. The maid service […] was excellent and efficient. However, they would take the towels and not replace them until later in the day. We did ask the desk clerk if we could get a second chair for our patio and a remote that worked on our TV and we did not get either of those things or an explanation. On the other hand, we did not have a refrigerator in our room, so they lent us a cooler so I would have a cool place to store my insulin. We enjoyed our room so much that if we go to Jamaica again, we will probably only stay at the Siver Seas. Also, the meals that we ate ate the restaurant were excellent. Stores we very close and taxi service is very accessible and at a very reasonable price. We would definately recommend Silver Seas to our friends and family. Lees meer

If you are looking for a convenient base for your daily excursions into Jamaica, Silver Seas is great. You're near general stores, money changers, restaurants of all sorts and a fleet of taxis ready to take you anywhere you want to go. The restaurant is great for breakfast, but if your want to order any of the fancier dinners from the menu, you should […] talk to Ivan early in the day so he can get what is needed for the meal. They don't stock the seafood and things listed on the menu, but they will get it in if you are planning on ordering it. On the bright side, that means that it is always fresh. For anyone looking for a resort style experience, go elsewhere. This is a hotel, nothing more. Lees meer

THIS IS OUR SECOND VISIT. IM FROM THE STATES AND MY HONE IS FROM JAMAICA. WE STAYED THERE BECAUSE THE PRICE IS RIGHT AND THE OCEAN VIEW ROOM IS AWESOME. BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS AND SHEETS IF YOU CAN BECAUSE THEIRS ARE A LITTLE WORN. BAR DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF CHOICES AND WE ATE IN TOWN DOWN THE WAY AT THE SOLIDERS RESTUARANT. GREAT JAMAICAN FOOD AT A GOOD […] PRICE BUT GOOD. OH YEAH REAL CLOSE TO THE RUINSRESTURANT IS AWESOME. WITH A LOVELY WATER FALL...BEAUTIFUL! Lees meer

large brown bugs in the room at night dirty swimming pool poor general maintenance inside and out lovely views of the sea from the patio

I really appreciated this place. It is inexpensive and its service is just as such. The rooms were clean. The beds were clean but the mattresses were super soft, too soft with very little support. If you are looking for a resort where you will be pampered, this is not the place. This is the place where you get to have a secure room with a place to lay […] your head and a bathroom. If you are scared of Jamaica, this is not the place for you. You are right in the heart of Ocho Rios, the shops and outdoor market are literally a block away. This seemed to me to be the place where locals and foreigners who have been to Jamaica before come. All the major resorts go to the reefs right off the hotels beach and there is a small private contractor there who will take you out for a fraction of the major resort costs. I really enjoyed the place outside of the beds being too soft. If you have some sense of adventure and are not scared of local culture, or even want to experience local culture, this is the place. If you have more money to burn and are scared of coming in contact with the real people of Jamaica, buying Jerk Chicken from a guy with a grill on the corner who has a thick JA accent, stay at the Ritz or Sandals or somewhere that your sensibilities will not be challenged.

this hotel is right on the beach front with veiws you will never forget all the staff who work there really do they best to make your stay nice nothing is a problem to them we will be going back there this year again look forward to seeing everybody again

Built in 1947 when it must have been spectacular overlooking the seaside. was told that 31 of about 74 rooms were open; and the others are being scheduled for renovation. Our room was big and bright and clean with a huge balcony overlooking the coral rock coast and greenery....we watched a small boat pulling a fish net....the pool was clean....spacious […] ambience....breakfast was inexpensive a-la-carte and good value...the hotel is in need of freshening up but I plan to return. It has a romantic charm to it of yesteryear and I could imagine a Hemingway sitting here and writing....we had two rooms, both similar, for the five of us.....my adult children in their 20s also liked it,,,, Lees meer

It is close to the water but there isn't a beach - just a tiny strip of sand next to a cement barrier and then the ocean. Service is non-existent. Prepare to sit at least 30 minutes in the "restaurant" before anyone even realizes you are there. Actual food service takes another hour and the food is not good. We also had to wait 15 mins and finally chase […] the waitress down to get change. She was planning on keeping a large bill. (She thought it was tip she said - 60%). The rooms are spartan. We have a huge balcony with no furniture to sit on. Everything is dirty and falling apart. There are roaches in the room. The sheets are stained and scratchy and the comforter is filthy. The bathroom is gas station quality. Not clean. They provide one towel and one tiny soap. If you want shampoo, they send you to the store to buy your own. Also party boats go back and forth in front of the room blaring music so there isn't much sleep to be had here. All around a very bad hotel by any standards. Lees meer

Amazing view once you get there. The best snorkeling and diving is right out the front steps. We watched all the other tours bring their boats to the reefs in front of the hotel. Not a great area, the restaurant was horrible and not very convenient to walk to restaurants. But, if you understand this and you don't mind, this is a gem.

This hotel is the worst I have ever stayed in. The shower curtains were from a thrift shop and the shower head just sprayed water everywhere. There were roaches running around the room and the floor was never swept or mopped the whole time I was there. It was located kinda in a back alley and difficult to get to from the main road. I must say that the […] view was great and the a/c worked well. Lees meer

Great experience and offer for the price. Hotel is older but clean and by the water with great views from room balcony. I will definitely stay there again, and highly recommend it for a budget traveler. It's located few blocks from the main road within walking distance, and it's in a safe neighborhood.

This hotel is outstanding! When i booked i thought it would be a dive considering the cheap price but my expectations were completely blown away! the staff are extreamly friendly, its totally safe with a 24 hour security guard on duty and the room was huge, clean with a huge patio overlooking the most incredible view of the ocean EVER. This hotel is […] a historic sight it was the first hotel build in ocho rios so there are some railings and such that are breaking but it is not dangerous and it adds to the authenticity of the hotel. This hotel is right in the middle of the downtown area where you can find anything you might need with only a few minute walk like grocery stores, shopping, corner stores, restaurants and internet cafes. This hotel offers free wi fi in the lobby. there is a restaurant along the james ave alley called percys restaurant i believe, you must go there! its very cheap and delicious! YOU MUST STAY AT THIS HOTEL. If you arent into all inclusive but you want to stay at a beautiful hotel then silver seas is your place. When we went in November 2011 we were one of the few guests because of the down season so it was nice to have the whole place to ourselves. The food is good and the prices are a bit cheaper than I would expect to pay at a hotel. A guy works there named Lenny and he offers snorkel rentals and fishing trips etc. The snorkeling at this hotel is about a five minute swim directly out from the shore and its fantastic. Every day you will see tour boats stopping at this very place to bring people snorkeling and you will have it at the comfort of your hotel without paying to get there! Its extreamly safe to snorkel there and is one of the main things to do. Unfortunetly there isnt any sand at this hotel but the hotel is so breath taking anyway that i didnt mind. Enjoy your stay at the Silver Seas hotel as I know you will! Lees meer

I had fun... I went their to relax and the view I had was most relaxing good time spent there like it

hotel needs alot to be done in and outside of building to gain its 5 stars back

our stay was nice and we enjoyed the days spent at your hotel. I would not hesitate to recoomend the hotel to friends.

When you need a clean and tidy place to stay in Jamaica that's the place. Oh the staff members were very helpful. Ivan and Percy. That's my place.

nice staff, we reserved for two but we ending 4 in the room and they don't mind, they don't charge extra for the two extra guess, the location was great, easy walking to the town, comfy pool, I ask for wash and dry and the offer to do my 3 load of clothes for $8.00. Really like this hotel. Good for the price we pay.

balcony overlooking the sea was the best part of this hotel. the bedspreads were shabby with holes in them and the a/c only had an on/off switch. i could have used the towels for sandpaper and there was a colony of ants in the sink every morning/night. we couldn't get a remote for the tv and the pillows were either giant foam ones or flat and skimp […] y.

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 kids for a week and was pleasantly surprised with the hotel. It's much larger than I expected. Even the room was huge. It was located right at the centre of Ocho Rios and overlooks the Ocean. The view was great. The negatives were that it's an older hotel and there were no microwave or refrigerator in the room […] or blow dryer or iron. The TV was old and the picture was not the greatest. But we did not spend alot of time in the room so these things did not bother us. Ocho Rios itself is expensive but this hotel was a great deal. Breakfast was not included but there is an onsite restaurant that was very reasonable. Lees meer

I liked this place. A little worn, old world style charm, very laid back. The rooms all look right out over the ocean, and there is a reef out there as well. This is a great hotel for independant travelers- no luxury resort accomodations here, but nice friendly staff and a great vibe. It's right off the main street so you can walk around the town of […] Ocho Rios- eating and drinking cheaply. Lees meer

The hotel is your average hotel. The rooms are clean, have balconies and all of them face the Caribbean. The amenities were clearly old, but everything was usable. The hotel was pretty empty when we stayed there, so the staff was very responsive to any thing that we asked for. The restaurant affiliated with the hotel was very good, and the chef would […] give us our wake-up call, letting us know that the breakfast was ready. The restaurant staff made the hotel very charming. Lees meer

The only major problem I had with this hotel is that there was one iron for the entire hotel, besides that the stay was decent for the price.

The first half of our holiday was in Negril on deciding to go to ocho my friend who we asked to book the hotel could not get the hotel of our choice. Therefore prior to arriving at Silver Sea we were worried. However on arrival we were surprised. Overall you could tell that in its time the hotel was very grand. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, […] I found them particularly supportive. I you want a hotel without the hustling and crowds which is quite individual in theire approach I would recommend Silver Sea. The room we stayed in was extremely large with an equally large balcony the sea view was amazing. I do however believe that more can be done to enhance this hotel. I would however return to Silver Sea. Lees meer

We loved The Silver Seas and found it to be a great value for the money. Because of the high ceiling, the room feels very spacious. We found it to be very clean, even the little balcony, which had a lovely view of the trees and the sea. The immediate area of sea by the hotel had the most amazing place for snorkeling, especially for beginners or not […] as confident swimmers like me as the water was very clear, shallow, and it had a nice sandy bottom. It was exceptionally calm, even when the rest of the sea was rough. The linens are a bit worn, and the mattress not the best, but I found it more comfortable than the other places we stayed. The doorknob to the bathroom was loose and the outer door had a lock with a chain link but I probably wouldn't leave any valuables in the room. A safe is available at the front desk. The balcony doors have just a simple lock on as well. The outer hallway (like a motel) was not lit at night and was very dark. A small stand selling soda, alcohol, chips and cigarettes is within a few steps and available at late night in case you need a snack. The restaurant on sight did not have many options because they were out of groceries but I think if you gave them some notice everything would be fine(i.e. a family of 4 wants breakfast tomorrow or a supper that same evening). There were very few other guests at this time and I don't think they kept much on hand for that reason. The food was average. The staff was all extremely pleasant and helpful. The hotel was located within walking distance of the local produce market (don't be scared by the outer appearance, it is safe to go there), a major grocery store, the craft markets, and restaurants. We did not use the pool but it looked nice.There is no sand at the beach but as mentioned, the snorkeling was great. I would recommend this hotel for families and any one on a budget. It is not very high end but an extremely good value for what you get. It is simple, clean and affordable. Lees meer

i liked the place because it was a quiet place to get away with my mate and is close to shopping and resterants as well, a nice pool and the food was great and not very expensive, if u are looking for a party type of place this is not it, the near by area is a little rough if u are walking to town center, but we had no problems at all and the staff […] was really helpfull to us and i will be going there again to stay when in ocho rios, the price is great for the stay Lees meer

well, it was ok for the price---the room had a great view of the ocean---and was clean and neat---there was a few issues like they didnt have ice---no big deal---and when i got there the water was off but it was back on in a few hours---all and all it was a pretty cool place to stay---close to down town---you could walk to the local places and find […] a some different ways of jamican life---everyone tries to hit you up for beer, smokes or money and sell you weed---just have to say no alot---anyway i would stay there again Lees meer

The hotel was nice, kinda looked like an old plantation with lush tropical jungle all around. The view of the ocean was amazing and the snorkeling whcih could be done right from the hotel was the best in Jamaica. There is a double reef in which to explore. The staff was awesome!! Thanks especially to Barry, Ivan and Percy! THe only bad thing I could […] think of was the beds. They definately need new mattresses as they were sunk in. Other than that it was an amazing place! Lees meer

I have stayed at the Silver Seas several times for a few years. It is centrally located to supermarkets, clubs, craft markets, restaurants, etc. It is not a 5 or 6 star hotel, but the employees and the view make you feel like it is beyond 5 or 6 star. It is peaceful and unpretencious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Jamaica for the […] true experience of the people, culture, and environment. Those who want all inclusive services, this is not the hotel for you. I love staying here and so does family and friends! Lees meer

If you have been to Jamicia before this hotel is great for its localcation. In the center of town. Not good if you are looking for classy hotel, but great for sleeping and shopping the town.

Hotel is nice but needs a little upgrading at the lobby and bar area. Pool was great so was the snorking. For the money we paid the room was kept very clean, great if you know your way around town or have family or friends to visit. It's a just for sleeping hotel nothing really exciting to do.

I stayed for 6 nights at Silver seas, they have very large rooms with double beds, powerful showers. The rooms are very basic, no colourful decor and very thin curtains that lets the lights in if you need to have a lie in. I never swan in the sea, looks dangerous to me and there was no beach to mention. The staffs are very friendly. For a hotel in […] the heart of ocho rios this is a very good price. I would definately stay here again but i dont think my 7 year old son would like it because of the lack of beach. Lees meer

The Silver seas hotel is middle of town in a good location to experience the real jamaica, not the touristy areas near the all inclusives. The only problem that i had with the hotel is that could've used a remote for the tv but I wasn't in my room enough for it to matter. They also had a light out in the lamp by my bed but I didn't complain about it […] so I don't rate that. They had a breakfast but I didn't partake. I found the staff very helpful I checked in late and was extemely tired and the night wathman helped me with my car. When I checked out I called the manager about my passport and she came in to retrive it from the safe. Lees meer

the reason why i choose this hotel was because of how guests raved about the view. i agree completely but the conditions of that hotel is unfit for guests. my husband and i only spent one of the two nights scheduled because the condition of the room. the sheets were dirty there was chipped paint all over the toilets were also dirty the entire room was […] unacceptable. hotels.com i agree with pass guests you should not be recommending this hotel to your customers it is unfit. Lees meer

it is a simple hotel with almost everything you need beds were comfortable, aircondtioning in the room worked, television with lots of chanels andgreat sea view from room. the hotel is located on a main street with close supermarket, pharmacy and 2 public beaches

Hôtel très bien placé en centre-ville de Ocho Rios, dans la section locale (pas la section touristique). Tout se fait aisément à pieds. Grande chambre avec un balcon permettant d'admirer les catamarans. Demandez une chambre à l'étage (pour la vue) avec un sol en céramique : évitez les chambres avec un parquet - les insectes en raffolent, croyez-moi […] !!! Les chambres sont bien entretenues; par contre, l'ensemble de l'hôtel est un peu défraîchi et semble un peu "mort". Bon rapport qualité/prix. Lees meer

Das Hotel hat eine schöne Lage direkt am Mehr mit eigenem Strand. Es ist auch sehr leise. Mann hört sehr wenig von der Straße oder Clubs un der Nähe. Der Pool hat ein Kristall klares Wasser, was ich bisher noch nie in Jamaica geseghen habe. Leider sind die Betten seit langem in die Jahre gekommen. (durchgelegen und duietschen). Das Bad hätte auch mal […] eine Auffrischung nötig. Lees meer

nice room,,and beatiful beach outside..

bon hotel,rien a redire...bien situé!

Et helt ok hotell i sentrum av Negril. Det ligger ikke på stranden, som de fleste andre hotellene, men det tar bare 5-10 minutter å gå dit, og hotellet har et eget svømmebasseng. Rommene virket nyoppussede, og hadde aircondition og et lite kjøleskap. Supermarked, minibank og alt annet ligger veldig nært, og sikkerheten var bra. Hotellet har også en […] egen bar, og tilbyr diverse strandaktiviteter og ekskursjoner. Veldig bra til å være relativt billig. Lees meer
