We had a really beatutiful stay of 4 nights at the river lodge. The accomodation is a real attraction and the surrounding area is natural and very peaceful. Brigitta and her team made our stay peaceful and familial. Her husband created every evening the most fantastic Jamaican dinner we´ve had during our whole trip.

Our first visit to Jamaica was at this rural, wonderful lodge. The scenery is beautiful. The people are very accommodating. The food is wonderfully authentic Jamaican. We were able to spend peaceful days surrounded by natural beauty and serenity. For a truly authentic experience, River Lodge is the place to choose!

I have brought groups to River Lodge on a number of occasions, as well as staying there myself. I travel in Jamaica for a living, and can easily say that a visit to River Lodge is the truly authentic Jamaican experience that so many travelers are looking for. The lodge is built from an old Spanish Fort, right in the... More

Of all the places we visited in Jamaica Robin's Bay was the most special. The natural beauty all around is extraordinary and the local people so welcoming that we'd not only learnt how to play dominoes but also made some friends. River Lodge was a peaceful and unique place to stay: Steeped in history and completely individual, a labour of... More

I discovered River Lodge last year, and went back there recently. After nearly 20 years of traveling around Jamaica I have seen a lot of astonishing places, radiating the right kind of energy. River Lodge is definitely one of them. The place, an old fort, has a magical spell about it, nature is impressive and abundant and the people of... More

Do not go there, it is horrible! We've been there with my girlfriend, and it was a terrible nightmare! We had no water at all, and nobody to help us to fix this. The day after, a guy comes to see how was the night, and when we said we had no water, he was rude and mean with us.... More

I was at River Lodge for one week April 2011 for a yoga retreat. Our group filled the lodge and even though we didn't know each other in the beginning we soon became a 'jungle family'. Yoga twice a day on the beautiful deck in the jungle was wonderful. The accommodations are very rustic and basic and if you come... More

This is our report about our 3rd stay in River lodge. It`s the most beautiful place I ever saw in this country. I know nearly every place in 10 years coming to Jamaica but I never saw such a peaceful place. If you want to see the real Jamaica, it´s there. Brigitta and Cox give you the feeling like being...

I`m a german (female) travelling to River Lodge since 1994, wich says a lot. River Lodge is rebuilt from the ruins of a spanish fort. It is located in a small Rasta community surrounded by an intact nature without any pollution or noise. It has simple but clean and spacious rooms wich have a rustic charme. I can recommend the...
