I decided to spend my birthday at Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites in Montego Bay. When we first arrived, security could not find our reservation and directed us to JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar, only for us to later find out we were actually staying at the Selection property. The hotel lobby was beautiful and smelled amazing, and I initially thought the stay would be great. Shortly after check-in, a staff member invited us to breakfast at JOIA and told us there was no catch, but it turned out to be a sales presentation for a vacation package. The presentation was very convincing, and I ended up making a $3,000 down payment. We upgraded to a suite with a swim-up pool. The staff throughout the resort were very friendly, and dinner and entertainment that evening were excellent. Unfortunately, the experience quickly went downhill. When we returned to the room that night, there were roaches running across the bathroom floor. We immediately contacted our butler. The situation completely ruined the experience. On top of that, the swim-up pool connected to our room was dirty, which made it unusable and very disappointing considering we paid for an upgraded suite. When we reported everything to management, the only solution offered was dinner for two on the beach, which did not feel appropriate given the situation. When we checked out, we were told someone would contact us with a better resolution. It has now been two months and no one has reached out. I expected much more from Iberostar, especially for a birthday trip.
