Relaxing and peaceful
We had a lovely time at Cardiff Hotel. The place was clean, and the staff were courteous and helpful. We had hot delicious breakfast every morning of different local foods. We got complementary water and juices every other day. Free beach shuttle took us to the beach. We enjoyed our stay and would go again. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and family. JB

Loved This Place - Great Find!!
Nicer than I expected. Charming hotel with fine dining. The food was amazing. I utilized their room service and it was handled very well. Attractive pool with nice umbrellas and chairs. Pretty manicured lawns around entrance. I loved the Cardiff Hall private beach! The hotel shuttle driver was efficient and a nice guy. Everybody there tries very hard. It was a good find. Will stay again!

The guard at the gate “what are you here for?” Not welcoming at all. Reception was okay. We arrived early so went to the restaurant and had tasteless soup in a very strange shaped bowl. Not a great start. But 2 servers were very pleasant. The property is very dated. The reception, bedroom and bathroom in particular, straight out of the 70’s. It is clean but the colours make it feel grubby. Room size is generous but the lighting from the lamps is very dim. The view from the little verandah was lovely. Bed was comfy but the pillows thick and hard. A/c cooled nicely, tv stations very limited. Delicious Ackee and saltfish breakfast, again the servers were very pleasant. All in all, fair value for money. Would I stay again ? Probably not.

Calm, peaceful, relaxing
This was my third time staying at the Cardiff Hotel. It is very clean and comfortable. The atmosphere is peaceful and pleasant. The staff are always willing to help. My room had a balcony with chairs where I sat and enjoyed the beautiful view of trees and the ocean. The hotel grounds are well kept with lots of plants and fruit trees. Meals are served outside with the beautiful view. I had the breakfast plan. There was a variety to choose from each day. Breakfast was delicious. I chose traditional Jamaican menu items. During this stay, I used the hotel shuttle to go to the hotel's nearby private beach and I also had a wonderful massage in the spa. I stayed at the hotel for six nights and enjoyed each day.
