Ocho Rios, Turtle Beach Towers

My husband and I stayed at the Turtle Towers in May 2004 and were pleasantly surprised. From the outside it did just look like high rised flats but our studio was beautiful, the only drawback was it was on the 10th floor and I hate lifts. The room was light and airy, we had a huge four poster bed widescreen satellite TV and everything we needed for a vacation.

It had a separate kitchen, with a huge fridge, microwave etc and a nice size table perfect for romantic meals. The kitchen was clean. The studio was cleaned and towels changed daily they even washed our dishes!

Turtle towers are centrally located and we were just across the road from island village and the town centre was just a short walk away.

Loved the beach but it just needed to stay open for longer as it closed at 6, there were people trying to sell every possible thing on the beach but once we told them a firm no they didn't bother us again. But saying that I think this only works when you are on holiday with a man, because I have since been back with my mum and they (people selling things on the beach) wouldn't leave us alone no matter how much times we told them no.

Turtle towers was good value for money at only £30 or $3000 JA. per night, we had more money to spend on duty free! The staff and the locals were very helpful and friendly so we will definitely be staying there again.
