Across reviews, Whispering Seas is praised for beautiful ocean views and spacious condos, while recurring drawbacks include a dated, hot gym, limited air conditioning in living areas, and occasional hot‑water or maintenance lapses.
Many guests find apartments clean and well kept, with attractive pools and grounds, though one report noted algae in a pool. Service and communication are mixed: several describe responsive hosts and smooth self check in, while others report booking confusion, payment disputes, slow replies, or lockouts. The location feels quiet and safe with gated security and parking, and a car helps because nearby dining can be limited. Expect a scenic, condo style stay with some operational quirks.

Facilities
Pools and grounds are appealing and the gated setting offers ample parking, but multiple reviews cite a dated gym with rusty equipment and no air conditioning, and one stay reported a pool with algae.

While the property itself is beautiful, we did not have the best experience at Whispering Seas renting with Melanie. We arrived to the condo and the security guard insisted we provide the exact condo number. We provided all of the information Orbitz provided us and there was a lot of confusion. Finally, he made a phone call and the owner of the condo didn't even know we were checking in. She had the wrong date and had not sent any check in instructions whatsoever. The condo was clean, well decorated, and very comfortable. However, there were no instructions and the hot water heater and oven were not turned on. For more than a day, we didn't have hot water and Melanie did not reply to our concern. On the second day, the main entry keypad locked us out and delayed our family from enjoying our vacation again. Lastly, we had problems with the washing machine during our stay and one of the pools was green and covered with slimy algae. There were no signs to indicate it was closed or unsafe. This property has tons of potential, but the owner clearly is not ready to host guests and has very poor communication. I would not recommend staying in this particular unit at Whispering Seas.

This property is not as advertised. There is no convenience store on the property (you have to cross a highway on foot with cars coming at you on either side to get a bottle of water), there is no spa, and the apartment did not even have salt and pepper. It was very difficult to locate; the aircon in one of the bedrooms did not work and had to be repaired, and there was no battery to change the speed of the ceiling fan using a remote. There is a nice Italian restaurant across the street, and a salt water pool. The place is quiet and peaceful and the staff were lovely.

The apartment was very spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. In fact the online pictures did not do the property service. The grounds were immaculate with a hardworking groundsman. We even got coconut from the onsite trees! My only real issues were the absence of hot water and air conditioning in the main living spaces. AC in the rooms were lovely and encouraged sleep. Definitely a place to return to..we are planning the next trip!!

Beautiful, well appointed condo, with a gorgeous ocean view. It was well equipped with towels, utensils, cookware, etc. and it made for a comfortable stay with an opportunity to cook our own meals when we didn't want to go out. Very nice pools right on edge of ocean, but snorkeling is tough onsite due to choppy seas. Owner was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Ochi beach at Fisherman's village is about a 10 minute drive, and well worth the $3 charge for a great experience.

My husband and I had to go down to Jamaica for his mother’s funeral. It was a very difficult time for both of us. Our stay at Whispering Seas gave us the feel of a home away from home. It was exactly what we needed. The view was gorgeous, and the sound of the waves was so relaxing! Our apartment was beautiful! It was clean, nicely decorated, and had most of what we needed. We would, definitely, stay there, again! Our only complaint is that the workout room was bad. My husband and I were looking forward to keeping up with our workouts while we were down there, but we were unable to do that. There’s hardly any equipment in the workout room; and, what is in there, is broken, old, and rusty. They should invest in some nice equipment, and keep the door closed so the sea air doesn’t rust everything. Put an air conditioner in to keep the room cool. Thank you to Sam and the security staff for being there when we had questions. Thank you to Melanie, the owner, for having such a beautiful place for us to enjoy!

We loved the condo space we rented. It was huge for four people. A good kitchen to use. Excellent WIFI. Fantastic view. Very fun (though shallow) pools. Not crowded at all. We hardly saw people. Being right off the highway, and only about 10-12 minutes from Ochi, it was very convenient. If we could afford it, we'd love to go again, and wish we could take my wife's family.

My stay was excellent comfortable beds, A/C in excellent working condition, property very clean with all amenities. I absolutely love how I could sit on the patio and not be bothered by mosquitoes. Excellent view and pool. My only recommendation is to upgrade the gym with proper working equipment. That area has such a potential to be a nice state of the art gym.

This place is beautiful. The view from the back door is stunning. I had no trouble gaining access. I sent the owner a message the day before arrival and she sent the code within minutes. The property is gated with a security guard 24 hours a day. There is plenty of parking. The only complaint I have is that I wish the gym area was air conditioned. It was too hot in there even before sunrise.

The property was in an excellent location and had great views. However, it was not well maintained. The kitchen did not have proper silverware for a family to stay. Only one glass, various odd sized spoons/forks (one each) that looked old and rusted. The bathroom had no place to hang clothes. The refrigerator was all rusty from the outside. Looks like the owner did not want to spend money to maintain the property. Otherwise, the rooms had some nice furniture and the views were amazing.

This property was rented without hot water for 6/7 days of my stay. I agreed on 4th day to 3 day refund offered because water was supposed to be fixed. Then it went again. Now I’ve had to pay to litigate.

The property has the potential to be nice but it is not a luxury status yet. The unit that we stayed in was nice and clean but we could not use both showers at the same time as the water pressure was extremely low. The common area was very hot. The bedrooms were the only rooms with central cooling. There were alot of renovations in progress and construction noise well after 5 pm. Not many dining options and the location required transportation to tourist areas and main town areas. The Staff was very nice and helpful.

We really enjoyed the stunning view, layout, roominess and well appointed apartment. The communication between our host Melanie was excellent, she was very accommodating. Only negative was the lack of AC in the main room. (2 bedrooms have split units.) Although there is a nice cross breeze from the Ocean on a very hot day it's not enough.

I booked a property with a king sized bed and bathroom with a bathtub. When we reached Whispering Seas, we were told the apartment we had booked had been double-booked by the owner and we were sent to the next-door apartment complex, The Waves. The condo unit there was nice and had similar amenities -- except it did not have a king size bed (full size only) or bathtub -- or 24-hour front gate staff (which created problems as we left). When I shared the discrepancies with the host upon arriving, they said we could find another place and get a full refund -- which is unreasonable at the last minute. They claimed to have sent a message -- which I never received about the double booking. When we left, I asked for a modest $50 refund & I never heard back. The place has an amazing view (though no real ocean access as it's all rocky) and the condo is very new and all items are upgraded. However, the host did not seem transparent and straightforward or interested in responding thoughtfully to concerns.

While the property itself is beautiful, we did not have the best experience at Whispering Seas renting with Melanie. We arrived to the condo and the security guard insisted we provide the exact condo number. We provided all of the information Orbitz provided us and there was a lot of confusion. Finally, he made a phone call and the owner of the condo didn't even know we were checking in. She had the wrong date and had not sent any check in instructions whatsoever. The condo was clean, well decorated, and very comfortable. However, there were no instructions and the hot water heater and oven were not turned on. For more than a day, we didn't have hot water and Melanie did not reply to our concern. On the second day, the main entry keypad locked us out and delayed our family from enjoying our vacation again. Lastly, we had problems with the washing machine during our stay and one of the pools was green and covered with slimy algae. There were no signs to indicate it was closed or unsafe. This property has tons of potential, but the owner clearly is not ready to host guests and has very poor communication. I would not recommend staying in this particular unit at Whispering Seas.

We booked thru Expedia but the host who lives in the UK ( Melanie Butcher) called us to say ‘ I will not let you step inside the door as long as I don’t get paid!!’ We told us Expedia has already charged us - sent her a screenshot of the CC statement but she was having trouble swiping the card even after we gave her a mother card. I don’t know what was the mismatch with Expedia & her but we were stranded out in the heat for 3-4 hrs w/o a hotel/ apartment. Finally Expedia rebooked us at another hotel which we grabbed - but it was not so nice as the apt- condo we had booked. We are seasoned travelers so we took it in stride- but was a very bad experience overall. We wasted half a day of our precious vacay time & took some stress too. Not what you want on a vacation.

Ochi beach at Fisherman's village is about a 10 minute drive, and well worth the $3 charge for a great experience.

This place is beautiful. The view from the back door is stunning. I had no trouble gaining access. I sent the owner a message the day before arrival and she sent the code within minutes. The property is gated with a security guard 24 hours a day. There is plenty of parking. The only complaint I have is that I wish the gym area was air conditioned. It was too hot in there even before sunrise.

Location
Quiet and peaceful setting that feels safe, with gated security and parking. A short drive to Ocho Rios and attractions, but nearby dining is limited and some found the beach rocky or less inviting, so a car is helpful.

My husband and I had to go down to Jamaica for his mother’s funeral. It was a very difficult time for both of us. Our stay at Whispering Seas gave us the feel of a home away from home. It was exactly what we needed. The view was gorgeous, and the sound of the waves was so relaxing! Our apartment was beautiful! It was clean, nicely decorated, and had most of what we needed. We would, definitely, stay there, again! Our only complaint is that the workout room was bad. My husband and I were looking forward to keeping up with our workouts while we were down there, but we were unable to do that. There’s hardly any equipment in the workout room; and, what is in there, is broken, old, and rusty. They should invest in some nice equipment, and keep the door closed so the sea air doesn’t rust everything. Put an air conditioner in to keep the room cool. Thank you to Sam and the security staff for being there when we had questions. Thank you to Melanie, the owner, for having such a beautiful place for us to enjoy!

We loved the condo space we rented. It was huge for four people. A good kitchen to use. Excellent WIFI. Fantastic view. Very fun (though shallow) pools. Not crowded at all. We hardly saw people. Being right off the highway, and only about 10-12 minutes from Ochi, it was very convenient. If we could afford it, we'd love to go again, and wish we could take my wife's family.

The condo itself was very comfortable. The nearby beach was not very inviting and dinning options close by were limited. A good supermarket was a drive several kilometers away. I totally enjoyed the nearby attractions.

The property has the potential to be nice but it is not a luxury status yet. The unit that we stayed in was nice and clean but we could not use both showers at the same time as the water pressure was extremely low. The common area was very hot. The bedrooms were the only rooms with central cooling. There were alot of renovations in progress and construction noise well after 5 pm. Not many dining options and the location required transportation to tourist areas and main town areas. The Staff was very nice and helpful.

This property is not as advertised. There is no convenience store on the property (you have to cross a highway on foot with cars coming at you on either side to get a bottle of water), there is no spa, and the apartment did not even have salt and pepper. It was very difficult to locate; the aircon in one of the bedrooms did not work and had to be repaired, and there was no battery to change the speed of the ceiling fan using a remote. There is a nice Italian restaurant across the street, and a salt water pool. The place is quiet and peaceful and the staff were lovely.

I was very amazed by the view, everything was 10-15 minutes away. The rooms, the decorations were breathtaking. Very clean space, I was able to contact the host whenever I needed her, truly nice person. We were at the heart of the town. I got to see the beautiful Ocho Rios everything was beautiful.
