Why We Recommend It:
Iberostar Grand Rose Hall is a very impressive 5 Star, adults-only all-inclusive resort in Montego Bay, the most upscale of three adjacent Iberostar resorts.
A stay here allows full access to the facilities of these two other resorts – Iberostar Rose Hall Beach & Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites – but not vice versa, making Grand Rose Hall feel extra exclusive.
The clientele here is also upmarket, and of varying ages, with many couples, and there is much less raucousness than at most of the other local all-inclusives.
Rooms & Suites:

Iberostar Grand Rose Hall has 293 spacious, nicely designed and nicely furnished suites, including swim-up suites. They mostly have one king bed though some may come with two queen beds.
They also come with lounging areas, coffee makers, safes, satellite TV, generous minibars, a pillow menu and 24-hour room service.
They all have outside space, some with lovely sea views. These balconies or terraces are also nicely furnished with swing chairs, sofas and coffee tables.
Across the board the bathrooms are particularly nice, and particularly spacious. Decked out in marble they have whirlpools, double sinks and double showers, and luxury toiletries.
You also have the services of a butler throughout your stay. They can help you unpack, and customize your experience in things like your choice of pillows and your minibar stock. They can also draw you a bath, recommend aromatherapy essences and even shine your shoes.

Some Guest Reviews:
“My husband and I had a 5 day stay here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. First off Malika our butler was superb! She ensured we where happy the entire stay. Her hospitality leaves me speechless! Bokeem, the bartender was extremely pleasant and ensured to provide us with top notch service. The resort offers a lot and the food was good. Nightly shows in the theater and then enjoying the DJ in the lobby afterwards and people watch was also entertaining. Highly recommend this spot!….”
