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'.

River Lodge. Well what can I say. Myself and partner ventured there after a comprehensive search via the internet of the "Real Jamaica".

(strawberry fields) and after reading the very attractive website, how it was once an old... More

An old Spanish fort located in a beautiful, rustic, peaceful rasta village on natural unspoiled coast. Locals are very friendly. Highly recommended for people who are not high maintenance and down to earth.
