Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites is our family pick in Montego Bay: an all-inclusive where children have as much to do as their parents, on a private stretch of the Rose Hall beachfront. It has 315 suites spread around pools and gardens, so even standard rooms give families a little extra space. Kids head for the AquaFun water park with its slides and the free Star Camp kids club, which runs activities for four age groups, while adults can escape to Spa Sensations or one of the quieter pools. There are four outdoor pools plus a children’s pool, six bars including a swim-up bar, and a range of restaurants: the Miranda Hill buffet plus à la carte options such as Mare Nostrum, Aunt Ruby for Jamaican flavours, Sole Mio for Italian and Tsuki for Asian dishes. The resort shares the beachfront with its sister hotels, Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach and the adults-only JOIA. It stayed open after Hurricane Melissa, and Expedia rates it 8.4 out of 10 from about 1,000 reviews.

Location and getting around: the resort is on Rose Hall Main Road, east of the city, about a twenty-minute drive from Sangster International Airport. Rose Hall Great House and several golf courses, including Half Moon, White Witch and Cinnamon Hill, are a short drive away, and the Hip Strip is a longer taxi ride. Most excursions to Martha Brae, Dunn’s River and Negril pick up from the lobby.

The rooms: all accommodation is in suites, with a separate sitting area, which helps when children go to bed early. Higher categories add sea views and the Star Prestige level, with extra perks and quieter areas.

Who it suits: families with children of all ages, and multi-generational groups who want an easy all-inclusive with plenty of on-site entertainment.

Good to know: one September 2026 review mentions a pool under construction, so ask about any ongoing works when you book. Book the à la carte restaurants early in your stay, as they fill up fast.
