JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar — Montego Bay

Once known as Iberostar Grand Rose Hall, JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar is a refined adults-only all-inclusive escape set right on the beachfront in Montego Bay’s historic Rose Hall area. The resort features around 295 all-suite accommodations with butler service in select rooms, ocean views, swim-up options and spacious private terraces, all designed for comfort and relaxation. You’ll find multiple dining venues with international and local cuisine, several bars including a swim-up bar, and world-class amenities like a spa, infinity pools and access to golf nearby. What we like here is the combination of luxurious service and serene atmosphere — ideal for couples or anyone seeking a sophisticated getaway on Jamaica’s north coast. Thanks to Iberostar’s alliance with IHG, it’s also now a points-bookable hotel.
