    One of the few places in the world where there this type of water exists. The waters literally glistens!
    They call it the luminous waters.
    Its a must go for anyone in Jamaica

    Great staff. Stayed at the hotel for 1 night as we traveled around the island. With the stay we received a 50% discount on the lagoon tour and a free breakfast. The staff recommended that we go out on the first tour at sunset. It was in incredible experience. 4 people in our party and 2 of us had no intention of swimming. That changed very quickly. The tour only had about 15 people. As soon as the first person went in the water the rest of us could not wait to get in. The dinoflagellates were extremely active. The blue was very bright and having your body sparkle as you came out of the water was incredible. I would definitely recommend this tour. This has been on my bucket list for 10years and I'm thankful I was able to experience it.

    I did not have the luxury of dining at the establishment, however we did take advantage of the glistening waters tour and it was amazing! The owners were very nice and pleasant, they have a nice dance show to entertain while you wait for your tour, and the bar serves pretty tasty drinks with an included rum punch when you book your tour! Jerry, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about this natural wonder if you have the opportunity the tour is a must!!

    Fun little excursion. It was more brief than we realized but still a good time. Be sure to take off all jewelry though!

    The tour is nice and the phenomenon is amazing! My issue is with the photo they sell you. They take pictures when you swim and the luminous effect. The pictures are alright, the issue is they cost $15 a pop and they send you by email (no hard copy). Since there's no WiFi you can't verify you got it. They give you a card with their email address to get the picture later if you don't get it, but they don't respond and don't care. So don't pay for the photo, it's a racket!

    This phenomenon is amazing!!! I would recommend everyone go there & don't be afraid to go in the water. If you don't know how to swim, they will provide a life jacket for you. Don't miss out on your once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience it!!!

    We did the night tour. When we arrived the young dancers were dancing their hearts out. They were good.
    I got in the water with the dinoflagellates. Amazing experience seeing the light in the water! Our captain, Captain Dave, was very knowledgeable. The jerk chicken in the restaurant was decent but a little over priced. The sorrel was perfect!

    Glistening Waters is a Hotel where I would definitely stay again. I enjoyed my short time there and the breakfast was Hmmmm.. lovely. The room was fresh and clean. The water pressure for showering was splendid.
    The staff .. warm and courteous.

    Night tour was great, amazing to see the water light up when stirred up.
    I enjoyed it even if I 4out of 5 of us got stung by jelly fish. You never know what the tide will bring in.
    Picture is underwater shoot of the microorganisms when lit up.

    I did the Illumination Bay night tour. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life. The water is full of microorganisms that glow whenever disturbed, so when you swim, you're surrounded by a glowing blue aura. It's a once in a lifetime experience.

    It was an amazing experience the ambiance was great, the customer service at the front desk was excellent(all thanks Jenna). They also have night boat tours. The food was great as well both breakfast and dinner, dinning on the deck over looking the water . They have live entertainment. It's a warm feeling here. They also have a jerk centre. But overall I would recommend it to any and everyone.

    The Lagoon tour was so amazing! It was such a serene experience to swim in the cool waters, and the silt at the bottom feels like it could be some pharmaceutical quality mud, and made mine and family skin feel amazing. The tour guide, who was called captain, was kind and funny. Great experience, will recommend!

    This place has good parking. The food is good, however the wait time is not acceptable.
    The servers are OK.

    How about reviewing the family ethics.  This family and their son have taken the son of someone extremely close to me.  Not only did their son take him without the mother's permission or consent but took him out of the country when it specifically says in the custody papers that he must have consent and permission from the boy's mother to do so.  This family and their son now refuse to let the boy's mother know where they are and what they are doing and when he will be returning and have continuously blocked her number so that she cannot speak to her son.  Dishonesty in family can only mean dishonesty in business

    Took the tour here and swam in the luminous lagoon which was amazing. Had some dancing entertainment while waiting for the boat. The boat captain was great at telling us awesome facts about the microorganisms that cause the surreal glowing effect of the water when disturbed. Would've liked to have a little more time in the water though during boat tour.

    The water was amazing. You can't see on the pictures bit is lit up better the further I swam away from the boat. There is also another company that brings you in the water and there you can play dominoes.

    Went here on an excursion to see the water glow at night. Guide did a great job explaining how it all works and even took pictures. TAKE A WATER BOTTLE AND FILL IT WITH WATER. IT WILL GLOW FOR UP TO 48 HOURS WHEN YOU SHAKE IT.

    The boat trip is a bit overrated and not the best value. Although there is a nice dance show before the trip. The food in the restaurant was OK, but nothing special. The waiting staff could be better. It takes a long time to get food on your table

    Food was mediocre, service during meal was worse. They took so long we didn't have time to finish dessert before the boat left (but that's ok, dessert was almost inedible anyways).

    On the boat, we had "Captain Dave", who immediately started to insult one of our group with his non-funny jokes. Then there was an in-your-face photographer kid who tried to sell us his photos after. There were two other guys whose job seemed to be laughing at and making comments about the girls in our group.

    As for the bioluminescent water, it was disappointing as well. You could see a faint glow when the waters were really disturbed, but that was it. We had come here in 2010 and the waters were phenomenal. This time, the whole experience was a big disappointment.

    Went here on an ezcursion. It has a nice little sitting area before your boat leaves to take you into the lagoon. When you reach your destination you can get out and swim. Swim really slow so it glows brighter and better. Just dont put your feet on the bottom because it is all kid. The water only seems to be at least 4 ft deep. But overall worth it.

    Went to order food to be ready before we went on the boat and were told a number of the lower ticket items on the menu were unavailable. Advised them we were just going to pass and pick up some jerk chicken on the way back to our villa instead and miraculously they said they found some orders of her chicken. Not a fan of being lied to or exploited when traveling. I would recommend signing up for the bioluminescent water however if only because it's so rare.
