Jamaica’s senior men’s team, which checked into the beachside resort on Monday evening for their Concacaf Nations League game against Antigua on Friday, yesterday afternoon left the facility after citing the below-par conditions of some rooms.
The Boyz, who were scheduled to check out on Saturday, last evening took up new accommodations at The Verandah Resort and Spa on the country’s eastern coast, and have settled in without fuss at the more modern facilities.
Marsh, visibly distressed by the unfavourable publicity generated by the Jamaicans’ expressed dissatisfaction, stood by the hotel’s reputation and experience in hosting sporting teams.
“We have been accommodating many sporting groups, including football, cricket and tennis. In fact, we are having an international tennis tournament right now.
“I would invite any sporting team from Jamaica to consider our property because I think we deserve a chance to make it right,” Marsh told the Jamaica Observer.
She said that not being able to please a guest is never an easy pill to swallow.
“It is very disappointing that the team is leaving because every guest is important to us irrespective of who they are, and when one of my guests is not happy, I can’t sleep well. Unfortunately in this case, things have gone wrong from the onset,” Marsh lamented.
As testimony to her hotel’s “sterling” reputation in accommodating a wide cross section of guests with a wide array of needs, including sporting groups, she pointed to recently hosting the India and West Indies Women’s teams.
“We just hosted West Indies and India Women who checked out of the hotel a few days ago, and we did an excellent job with that.

Aint no getting around it..call a spade a spade…The hotel is a dump!
Which hotel did they leave? Not clear from this write up.
Halcyon Cove
Big up Verandah Hotel….very nice and clean hotel. They staff are wonderful…they treat u just as they treat the overseas guests. I’ve been to Verandah many times and i highly recommend them to anyone who wants value for their money.
Halcyon is a dump, it is below standard and should be closed for serious renovations. I had some friends staying there in April and they complained about the state of it.
Just imagine , neaga that not accustomed to wear shoes on weekdays and live in cardboard shacks in a big dirt yard complaining bout hotel not good enough.
Manager just make sure they all come home with you cause you know Antigua is America to them, and only when they come here they see the best of their days and never go back home
U can’t be serious smh
He is serious. This is not the first time he has spouted such ignorance @Island Girl
Totally irresponsible and uninformed comment. You should be ashamed.
Hay if you ever come to Jamaica and see it you never say that and further more them young people don’t want to stay here is we old people from Jamaica want to live here don’t get me wrong I love here young people don’t as and the luxury the government provide for them sports people in Jamaica them spoil because the only thing them ofto do is train bus accommodion everything provide for them and a salary every month what them can live on that’s why every young people going into sports there because money on it don’t put down other people and country you never been there
Its so strange how ignorant people can be. I remember Pauline, back in the day when I worked for a company, the American client asked me if Antiguans lived in little dirty shacks; if we even had tv and if he should send down shoes for us …strange..this guy’s ignorant comment is dead similar and says much. You should know better.
MR…While you judging people, other people judging you! You sound so dumb right now. Jamaica is beautiful..if you have never traveled there..here’s a clue..GOOGLE it and yes see all the beautiful BIG houses there.
Everywhere in the world..there will be areas with poverty but don’t get it twisted..you wouldn’t make the cut for someone else out there. Stop talking out of your teeth
You are letting your ignorance and your dislike for other caribbean nationals not just jamaicans get the best of you..
Cancel yourself @vsnaipaul only an ignorant person would say such rubbish. These are professional players#paidtoplay.
Almost everybody and their dog all over the world.
How did a run down hotel conversation become people want to stay in Antigua?
Because we know what subpar conditions are we know shit when we see it.
Sure you don’t have a passport..Lord if you not busy take a walk over here..
Ah retarded you retarded or just a rasshole ? Regardless of where these people come from sub-par conditions are sub-par conditions and they are allowed to complain if they are dissatisfied. You see them a walk round Jamaica without shoes ?? Me a beg you try nah claim Antigua as your country when stating thing like that because people will think we dunce on a whole when it’s just you.
Tf you lub chat that’s all you do bring down people everybody is entitled to their own opinion me sure you rat and cockroach sleep a night
I think you need to apply for your passport and travel outside of your comfort zone before allowing such degrading ignorance to exit your mouth.
I’ll withhold the remainder of my thoughts, as certain things are better left unsaid.
1 question before I go, did you really think before writing or did you just chose to show the world how much of a numbskull you are?
Well said Charmaine…..
I bin der on day pass alot n let mi tell u tht hotel is rubbish it too want a upgrade renovation something n the food is wack asf
