I think the only way to review Jade Mountain is a pro/con so here you go…. Some of these pros mix with cons and many are subjective. This is our second trip, we stayed in JD2 August 22 and JC4 August 23 (still here). Pro’s - Food, absolutely untouchable, unmatched food. The use of local fresh products are amazing and more often than not guilt free (at least that’s what I tell myself. - Staff, so personable, friendly and caring. Every.. single…. employee….regardless of location remembered us, greeted us and will help you. Can’t stress this enough, they’re just nice and personally I say something if I see some arrogant guests being a **** to them. - Snorkeling, not the best in the world, but something I look forward to and very decent stuff to look at, including a hatching turtle swimming out from time to time. - Scenery, goes without saying. - Peaceful, this can turn into a con after 5-6 days but it’s really subjective to what you’re looking for. - Beaches, quiet, easy swim, relaxing Con’s - Our first trip last year was muggy but there was enough of a breeze and the pool in room could cool you down. But be prepared. - Fans in rooms need to be stronger/updated (but you can and should ask for another one, we had a really stagnant two days on this trip that we’re challenging). - Toilets, update them. The beach toilets flush well, people staying up top are paying enough for you to update that stuff. - If a storm comes, it’s survival of the fittest. LOL. Last night we had all night wind and rain storm. It literally rained in our bed and we built a wall of pillows from the couch to make it, covering ourselves in towels. The room was flooded. It was actually crazy, but funny and not really a con unless you’re not understanding where you’re going. And, it cooled things off. - More fans at the beach restaurant. It’s one of the best restaurants but we had a night ruined by stagnant air and flies that covered us, food, drinks etc. many couples just left mid meal. Fans would have helped displace them. - More music. This is subjective and we get that there’s an ambiance of peace JM takes pride in but at least at the beach have some music playing and the live entertainment can just be flat out boring. But again, it depends what you’re coming for. - The go**amn road in. It’s just disrespectful in my opinion. As much as people pay to stay they shouldn’t have to subject themselves to that catastrophe. We ended up flying out on the helo to avoid it last trip and this trip we came in and will leave with Fun Too See Island Ferry which is a GREAT CHOICE for transport. Ultimately, we love JM and always recommend it but we don’t want to see them become complacent on what they can control. Update stuff so when bad weather hits its not compounded by little stuff you can control.
