About The Cardiff Hotel & Spa

The Cardiff Hotel & Spa sits on Riketts Avenue in Runaway Bay, on Jamaica's Saint Ann coast. It is a four-star stay with an 8.2 guest rating from 121 reviews. Days here are meant to be unhurried: a free full breakfast to begin, then a choice between the outdoor pool, the fitness center, or a quiet hour on the terrace or in the garden.

The spa is the heart of the property. The full-service spa offers massages, body treatments and facials, and there is a steam room for winding down afterwards. Spa and massage appointments need to be reserved, which you do by contacting the property before you arrive, using the details on your booking confirmation. If you would rather start the day with some exercise, the fitness facilities are on site.

When it's time to eat, Isabella's restaurant serves local and international cuisine, and a bar/lounge is there for the evening. Room service is available during limited hours. Breakfast is complimentary and full, though children may not be eligible for it. For time by the sea, a free beach shuttle saves you from arranging your own ride. The concierge and the tours and ticket assistance desk can help with plans around Runaway Bay.

Rooms include Deluxe Rooms with ocean or garden views, a Junior Suite with bay views, and a two-bedroom suite for up to four guests. Each has a furnished balcony, free WiFi, a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator. Interconnected rooms can be requested for groups. The hotel also has meeting rooms, a banquet hall and wedding services, so it can host a celebration or a small event as well as a holiday. Free self parking and a 24-hour front desk keep arrivals simple. Note that the property has no elevators, and pets and service animals are not allowed.
