Jamaica Inn

Well, what a find after many years of visiting Jamaica and the wider Caribbean!

The hotel itself is full of old world charm and offers laid back luxury. First off the private beach is stunning and easily one of the best we have been to in Jamaica, the white sand and abundance of marine life are a bonus. Secondly, the food is amazing and the hotel doesn’t really shout about this enough. Whilst there are only 2 restaurants, Teddys Grill for more relaxed dinning on the beach and the terrace for a more formal experience. Both were excellent and a changing menu meant there was something different and tasty and always fresh seafood.

Then we move on to the hotels real assets, it’s humans and canine.

The bar and food service team were stand out and we loved: Ashely (knew what I wanted to drink before I did) Jhavon (amazing smooth service and always wanted a chat about English football which was great) Williams (a absolute star which his service and a croquet legend) Giovanni (the Italian Jamaican and his fun sailing trips) Geary (fishing legend and all round pleasure) Cadaine (slick service and great drinks suggestions) Maurice (a top chef who guided us around a local food market) Sam (never failed to keep the drinks flowing in the hot sun) Kyle Mais (the friendly MD who checked in regularly to see how the holiday was progressing) Shadow (the dog, a very happy and energetic soul)

I can’t praise the hotel enough but as ever nothing is perfect. If I could suggest some areas for improvement, the all inclusive rate and process is slightly confusing and misleading in some ways and needs refining. Lastly, it would be nice to have some more games available, possibly snooker or a pool table.

The Jamaica Inn is an incredibly special place. My husband and I took a trip for our 5 year wedding anniversary, and it was the most memorable, fun, relaxing time— exactly what we were looking for! Beyond the gorgeous setting, incredible food and amenities, I have to brag on the staff, because the relationships we gained with all of these amazing people were what set Jamaica Inn apart from the rest. This is a place we want to come back to (or should I say “home” to) for many years to come! The staff treats you like family, so much so that it was almost hard to leave our new friends when the trip was over. They take such good care of their guests, providing the best service and creating a special experience for each person staying with them. I want to mention Ash and Sam— these two ladies became my two best friends during the week we were there! They were so kind, so attentive, checked in on me when I wasn’t feeling well one morning, gave us the best and quickest service, waiting on us hand and foot. Ash and Sam were both amazing and so good at their jobs, but more than that, they became my friends, and I am so thankful! If you are looking for a place that you can truly unplug and unwind, take a break from reality and indulge in a true vacation- this is it. This was the most incredible, dreamy escape for us, and we are already planning our next trip back!
