The resort has a gorgeous location with easy access to the beach and plenty of space for lounging. The water park was a big hit with my kids, and the entertainment was a lot of fun. However, I experienced several issues with the room maintenance and the responsiveness of the staff during a loud event nearby. Overall, it was a decent stay, but some improvements are definitely needed.

Our family vacation was enjoyable overall, with some nice experiences but also notable frustrations. We loved the spacious beach and the warm pools available. However, the Wi-Fi issues and housekeeping problems were significant downsides that affected our stay. For the price, it's a decent option, but don't expect top-tier service or modern amenities.

The rooms were nice but a bit dated, which didn't take away from our enjoyment. We had a junior beachside suite with a plunge pool, although the plunge pool was too cold for use.

Our stay at Jewel Runaway Bay had its ups and downs. The beach was beautiful, and the food was fantastic; however, the rooms were dated, and we faced several maintenance issues. While the general atmosphere was lovely for a family holiday, the slow service and lack of evening entertainment were noticeable downsides. Overall, it has great potential if improvements are made.

I had a great week at Jewel Runaway Bay resort! The beach is stunning with soft, flour-like sand, and there are plenty of activities to enjoy. However, the rooms could use some updating and the dining options, while good, didn't blow me away. Overall, it was a wonderful family-friendly getaway, but be prepared for a bit of noise in certain areas.

Rooms

The rooms are functional and very clean, but definitely need some updating. We faced issues like a broken balcony railing and air conditioning that didn't cool enough. Still, they were cozy enough for our stay.

The resort is perfectly located right on a beautiful beach, with easy access to non-motorized water sports. It's about a 70-minute drive from the airport, which adds some time but is manageable.
Dining

While the food was decent and we never went hungry, the variety was somewhat limited. The buffet was okay but didn’t offer takeout, which I found inconvenient.
Facilities

The water park and pool areas were excellent for both kids and adults, providing plenty of loungers. However, some amenities like the jacuzzi were underwhelming.

Our stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. On the positive side, the beach was stunning and the landscaping was beautiful. However, we faced some significant issues with the rooms being outdated and uncomfortable. The staff was hit or miss, and the dining options left much to be desired, particularly in the quality of food and service. Overall, while the location and waterpark were enjoyable, I don't think I would return based on this experience.
