We stayed at the Jamaica Inn from 4/18 thru 4/25 and it was one of the best resorts that we have ever stayed at. We chose a veranda suite located in the beach wing and it was just yards away from the ocean.

You would be hard pressed to find a nicer staff than the wonderful people at the Jamaica Inn. From Keisha who helped us with our booking, to Teddy at the beach bar (who will be celebrating 50 years with the Inn this December) and Rushawn who always took care of us after dinner on the terrace. The staff is just awsome! Eric and Peter the owners and Mary the general manager run a tight ship and it shows in the level of customer service and attention that the guests receive.

The food was very good. Lets face it, when you go to an island destination with a beautiful beach, aquamarine water, lots of sun and a great staff very often the food becomes of secondary importance. I'm happy to report that at the Jamaica Inn you can have it all including gourmet meals. Plese explore the lunch menu as it includes quite a few delicious treats. We chose the all inclusive package and we were glad that we did. Remember that island prices are expensive by USA standards and you can easily surpass the all inclusive daily charge if you purchase all your meals and drinks separately.

On the subject of food, we went ot fishing with another couple from the Inn and we each caught a tuna in the waters right off the Inn's coast line. We took our catch to the kitchen and the staff was nice enough to clean and prepare them for our evening meal. Needless to say it was fantastic.

I guess the only thing that bothered us was that it seemed we were the only two "rookie" guests at the Inn. We did find two other couples that were there for their second visit but most of the people we talked to were well into double digits as far as their number of visits. I think we're going to have to work on this and try to achieve "veteran" status.

In summary, the Jamaica Inn is a lot of things. It is relaxing, it is restful, it is a place to meet friendly interesting people, it is an established resort with a great staff, a beautiful beach and good food. It is not glitzy, crowded, loud, or overbearing. Go and enjoy!

We needed a break from LA so badly that we didn't even know how much we NEEDED A BREAK from LA. Dear friends said, "go to Jamaica Inn Jamaica Inn Jamaica Inn". They were right! The moment we walked through the lovely archway framing the crystal blue ocean we knew this was going to be OUR place.
What a beautiful intimate hotel. The genuine staff treated us with open hearts and impeccable service. Rooms were quiet, beautifully appointed with classic Caribbean furniture. Food was super, from breakfast to beach side lunch delivery and dinner. One full week with NO phones, no televisions, no computers - although my husband did use the one in the library on the first two days but even he gave it up for the sound of the sea and a great massage for 2. Hurray!
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. We were safe and sound in our newfound BEST PLACE TO STAY! We'll come back soon and often.

We've been to the Jamaica Inn twice (once for 3 nights and most recently for 4) and I cannot say enough about how beautiful and luxurious it is. The most recent time we splurged in the verandah suite right next to the water. Although it was a small fortune ($850 a night in high season) I must say it was worth it. The rooms are gorgeous, the beach is fabulous, the food is delicious (although very rich). There's literally nothing to want. It has the feel of a very rich friend's summer house. Many guests seem to return year after year and seem to know one another as well as the staff.

The only drawback is the noise later at night from the "raves" in Ocho Rios. Both times we stayed at the Jamaica Inn there was one night where we were woken up around midnight and were up for 3 or 4 hours listening to deafening music from somewhere out in the streets. Repeated calls to the front desk were not helpful. Both times we were told that the local law is that they need to shut down, I forget at either midnight or 2, but either way the music blared on long after. It was very frustrating. Especially at those prices. After our first trip there we were willing to chalk it up to a fluke, but the second time, I think not. Despite how beautiful and wonderful and what a hidden jem this place is, as a result of this noise problem, I'm not sure I'll go back.

My husband and I went to the Jamaica Inn for our honey moon and immediately as we arrived we were greeted by the manager of the hotel. The feel is very charmful, like you have stepped back in time. Everything goes slow, and the views are stunningly breath taking. I couldnt have asked for a better honeymoon. The staff is friendly and they immediately upgraded us for a beach front verandah villa, and the view, into the beach was beyond our imagination. the island is lush, the people are great, and the food is delicious!!!
The spa is a msut do! we did a couples massage on top of the cliff, at sunset, and it truly all summarized heaven on earth. There was a bbq on the beach with a bonfire, the perfect touch to the magical romance of a honeymoon.

will reccoment to any couple looking to relax, and just take it easy with a lot of fun (lots of water sports, and activities around town).

I got a little sick and the staff went to the doctor to get me some cough medicine even after hours.

If you are considering this place, just go!!! its worth it!!
