My husband and I spent the second half of our honeymoon here, the first half we spent on the cliffs in Negril. We stayed in Cottage 3 which is absolutely incredible. The Cottage is completely open to the outside, but the glass doors can also be closed to keep insects out and to run air conditioning. The views are stunning, and the cottage has its own private plunge pool. It is beautifully furnished, spacious, and extremely luxurious. Dining at the eating area under the stars every night was also a special experience and very romantic. The food was very good. Breakfast can be served on your verandah which is also very nice. My husband said he liked Negril better because it is more laid back. Jamaica Inn is more strict when it comes to certain things like dress code for dinner, but it is a very refined and elegant resort. It retains an air of old hollywood glamor, which is something you don't see much anymore. The only negative thing I noticed was the plethora of insects around our cottage, but this is part of traveling to any tropical location, so I don't fault Jamaica Inn, just be sure to bring plenty of bug spray!

Just got back from a 3 night 4 day stay. Beautiful rooms, great staff, wonderful place. We had some issues but the staff always did their best to make up for any problems. Perfect place to relax for a few days. Only minor complaints are that the food is a little hit or miss (fish was sometimes good sometimes not), the pool is a bit small and nothing special and there is no hot tub/jacuzzi except for the private villas. However, the gorgeous rooms with spacious verandas, courteous stafff, nightly entertainment, mellow beach and wonderful croquet court make up for any shortcomings. The staff is fantastic, truly going out of their way to make your stay special. Overall there is a charm here that explains why people come back year after year for 50 years. Certainly a place worth checking out for a relaxing vacation.

Although I frequent this site, this is the first time I have written a review - but after staying at this resort, I had to. After reading several recently posted on the Jamaica Inn, I have little else to add except to say that if you are looking for a comfortable, low key escape - this place is perfect. Staff are wonderful - some have been working there decades. Rooms are small, but the verandas are huge and very comfortable. Service was excellent, grounds are beautiful. Food was above average, but the wine list and service needs to be updated. For example, we ordered an expensive bottle and they served us the wrong vintage without asking before they opened it.

It is very private and the people we met were wonderful. Would definately return like many before us!

Me and my fiancée stayed for a 4 day weekend in Nov-07 and had a great time. We stayed on an all-inclusive basis in one of the premier verandah suites, directly overlooking the water. The rooms themselves are fairly small and the furniture a little worn but this fits in with the colonial feel of the hotel. The most impressive feature of the room by far however is the fantastic verandah that we had - it was the same size as the room itself with a sofa, desk, dining table etc. One of the best parts of the holiday was waking up each morning to the sound of the sea and eating breakfast on the verandah, only $5 extra.

The service at the Jamaica inn is incredible, the staff are obviously very highly trained and cater to your every need. The food is good but not great - there isn't a great selection for dinner but the food is certainly edible - we would have found it hard though if we had been staying for a longer holiday as we would have become tired of the limited choice, and there aren't really that many other options around. This is really the only reason why I have given a 4 rating rather than a perfect 5.

The setting of the hotel is great, with its own private beach. The hotel seemed to be quite full judging by the amount of people at dinner each night but it never felt crowded at all and there was always plenty of space on the beach and by the pool to relax and enjoy the sun. The evening entertainment is really good fun, there is generally a cocktail hour prior to dinner where people begin to mingle in the bar area for a pre dinner drink. The hotel was mainly couples, with one or two larger groups and has an intimate feel to it.

Overall a top class hotel. One other point I would note is that we stayed right at the end of November, about 2 weeks before the peak season prices kick in (which are pretty much double what we paid) - At the peak season prices I don't think the hotel represents very good value for money but I guess you would have the same problem with high prices everywhere in the Caribbean at that time of year.
