We have just returned from a week at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios Jamaica. If you are seeking First Class service, accommodations and natural beauty then the Jamaica Inn is your destination.
I was celebrating my honeymoon and my wife and I needed the perfect spot to decompress and recharge. The Jamaica Inn provided the perfect recipe for us.

The key to Jamaica Inn’s success is simple: A family owned and operated property where the owners and staff take extreme pride in their jobs and hotel by providing consistent first class service. Many of the hotel staff members have over 25 years of service and many of the guests have been regulars for many years. You get the feeling of a relaxed “family” atmosphere and very quickly, you feel like you are home. The outstanding level of attention and service from all staff members, including the personal attention of Eric Morrow (owner), Mary Phillips (GM) and Nana Chandrasekar (Assist GM), cannot be understated.

The beauty of the property and natural surrounding make the perfect setting for romance and allows for mind & body rejuvenation. The Jamaica Inn has the best of the old school service but in a casual relaxed atmosphere. All of the accommodations are first class and Cottage 5 was the perfect spot for us to celebrate our honeymoon. We had such a wonderful time that we didn't want to leave!

If you are looking for a “party resort”, the Jamaica Inn is NOT your destination. If you are seeking a place to refresh your mind, body and soul surrounded by unbelievable natural beauty then the Jamaica Inn is your final destination.

We will return…. Keith & Missy

We just returned from a five-day stay at this incredible hotel. We had such a wonderful time that we didn't want to leave! We found the Jamaica Inn on the internet, and we hesitated a bit because it's privately owned and we're used to the standards of the Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton chains. I'm so glad we moved away from the chain hotels this time! It would be impossible for any chain hotel to reproduce the ambiance of the Jamaica Inn.

We found this hotel to be the perfect combination of old and new: the buildings are classically handsome, with their remarkable Wedgwood blue paint, and the public rooms and our cottage were completely up-to-date. The service and atmosphere is very "old-school", with waiters and bartenders in starched uniforms, but there is nothing stuffy about the experience here. From the live band at dinner every night to the beach buffet we enjoyed one evening, everything is relaxed, while every one of our needs was met. If you are looking for a wild cruise-ship atmosphere, the Jamaica Inn is definitely not for you. If, on the other hand, you'd like to sit at the beach bar and chat with a bartender who has been working there for almost 50 years... or enjoy the company of other guests at cocktails in the evening... or relish the view from your private veranda while you take your meals there... this is the place for you. And don't miss the garden tour! I found it very interesting, and Henry the gardener gave each of us enough flowers to make a huge bouquet.

We were recommended to Jamaica Inn by a travel agent friend who had stayed there himself and knew we celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversay,
As hotel owners ourselves we wanted something special and that is exactly what we got!! We travelled from North Cyprus and it took us two days but was well worth the trip.

The beach is amazing and cleaned daily by hard working beach boys, the sea is glorious, our many days on the beach were so peaceful and relaxing, as there are plenty of loungers and shade and loads of space!

The chef at The Inn is first class, the food was delicious and we ate in most nights only venturing out for a couple of times during our two week stay!
The band at diinner were great fun
All the staff were absoultely fantastic as was Mary the General Manager who made us and everyone else feel so welcome. We would like to thank everybody for a wonderful time and wish we were back there now!!! As so many others say.......we will be back!!!

Having stayed at Jamaica Inn sometimes as much twice a year for the past 5 years I can say in all honestly this is a truly special place, I can't help but keep returning. I have written detailed reviews before and still support those and what others have written, but I wanted to be sure to reiterate how fabulous the staff is at Jamaica Inn...truly an exceptional bunch of folks, particularly Marie at the front desk, Richard and Patrice...and of course Rupert on the beach. Mary the property manager is also very welcoming and approachable. These people definitely make returning feel like coming home time and time again. Eric one of the owners is also very friendly and makes you feel like a welcome guest, I don't often have the opportunity to interact with him, but during this last trip I found him to be very charming...how lucky to be the owner (along with his brother Peter) of such a unique and wonderful place.

I will be returning in October 2008 with my husband for our 1 year anniversary and I cannot wait for him to experience first hand the specialness of Jamaica Inn, as I normally always travel with the same girlfriend who loves the place as much as I do.

Anyway, if you are looking for a place to quite literally feel like the only person in the world - - this is it. If you are looking for a non-stop party with lots of people and noise, Jamaica Inn is not for you.
