Runaway Bay Heart Hotel Loyd
July 2006

I just returned from Runaway Bay in Jamaica and had the most delightful time. I went to Jamaica on work and spent six extra days on holiday.

The Heart Hotel in Runaway Bay is a special place. It is a training hotel but don’t think that means poor service. I have observed equivalent levels of service at 4&5-star hotels. The young people in training are coached and mentored by an experienced staff. I am a professional trainer and enjoyed watching the teaching and experience that these young adults received.

My sixteen year old and I spent several great diving days with the folks at Scuba Jamaica. The PADI 5-Star shop is owned by Christian Rance. The have three locations and we dove with the shop located at the FDR resort. You do not need to be a guest at the FDR in order to dive with Christian’s group of professionals. These folks led us on excellent dives and were some of the friendliest and safety minded folks I have had the pleasure to dive with.
Cameron, Craig, and Stephanie were excellent people. My son achieved his Advanced Diver status while we were at Jamaica. You can reach Christian at Jamaica Cell: 876-381-1113 or USA Tel: 305-677-2224 after 6pm Central Time.

Runaway Bay is a bit more quiet and peaceful than the larger cities in Jamaica. I would recommend this area to anyone look to relax and dive.
