Starfish Resort, Jamaica

By Teresa Plowright, About.com

Starfish - Trelawny Jamaica

Starfish Resort: background

Starfish (aka Starfish Trelawny) is a value-priced all-inclusive on the north coast of Jamaica, 23 miles from Montego Bay. Starfish is a $6 million transformation of the former Trelawny Beach and Fun Resort, into a place packed with activities-- even circus trapeze. Starfish is part of SuperClubs, which also has the Breezes brand.

With 350 rooms plus 40 cottages, this is a big, busy, sometimes noisy kind of place. Though Starfish Resort isn't exclusively for families, guests with kids predominate.

What's special about Starfish for families?

This is one fun place.

  • landlubber fun includes minigolf, trapeze, rock-climbing
  • novelty pool fun includes "pool in the pool", sports pool with water-toys, large family pool, kids pool with 124' waterslide
  • kids' programs take kids ages 6 months to 3 years, and 4 years to 12

Kids will also enjoy the little sandy island they can wade to: parents too enjoy the hammocks there. See Starfish Review for photos and details.

Starfish Low Price Rates

Price is important for family getaways, and Starfish pricing is family-friendly, too. Often, discounts bring all-inclusive prices below $100/per adult/per night. (Check for Deals.) Also, you can choose "platinum" super-all-all-inclusive pricing, or opt for a lower price that includes almost everything except certain motorized sports and premium activities, and premium restaurants.
