Spent a fantastic 5 nights at Mockingbird Hill Hotel. Can thoroughly recommend it: excellent food including vegetarian options; lovely rooms; friendly and professional service (thank you Nicola and Byron!). The in-house tour advisor meant that we made the most of our stay with trips to the Rio Grande, snorkelling around the Blue Lagoon, Reach Falls and a hillside hike with a bit of bird spotting thrown in for good measure. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle this is the place to go.

If your looking for something different, exotic and completely pleasurable you would be hard pressed to find a better location and value than the Mockingbird Hill hotel in Port Antonio, Jamaica.

It is a small, boutique hotel nestled in the verdant hills overlooking the port and Shireen and Barbara and their team work hard to make you feel at home from the moment you arrive to the time your leave.

If you want something different but completely pleasurable and totally relaxing, consider the Mockingbirdhill Hotel.

Our welcome at Hotel Mocking Bird Hill was warm, sincere, helpful; and immediately we felt relaxed after the journey there. This is a truly beautiful place in terms of ambience, food, decor, and all you could want in a true get-away holiday. It has great style, comfort, lots of interests, friendliness, amazing service and food I will never forget and miss already. There are lovely people who run and stay at this hotel - which is just the right size for informality, privacy or company; and has gorgeous garden trails and bird-life to explore - not to mention an excellent, fascinating art gallery. This is low-key, high quality, eco-friendly holidaying at its best. Our time was made particularly great with the suggestions for 1/2 and full day trips, arrangements that happened like magic and adventures experienced that you would never find in a conventional resort trip. It was non-touristy, but traveller-friendly to the max! The proprietors are to be congratulated for giving back to the community, caring for their guests and their environment and providing this special holiday experience.

In the period of 4 up to 18 March 2007 we travelled around beautiful Jamaica and were successively at guest in the hotels Tony's Resort in Montego Bay, Sand Castles in Ocho Rios, Mockingbird Hill in port Antonio, The Courtleigh in Kingston, Treasure Beach Roh in Treasure Beach, Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort in Montego Bay. In this range the stay in Mockingbird Hill was the most pleasant. The only hotel where you don't need your mosquito spray: we found both a mosquito-curtain and an electric set to dissipate mosquitos. No mass-tourism but personal attention; no inevitable noise but peaceful rest and silence which it makes possible to see the birds and hear them singing. Near splendid bays to swim and snorkel. The restaurant is top class. If you wish to be not just a number in the crowd of tourists, Mockingbird Hill should be your choice.
