I had the pleasure of spending September 2012 through January 2013 in Jamaica (with the exception of a short trip home to Canada), staying almost exclusively at Great Huts. I recommend staying there to anyone/everyone I talk to. There may have been a few minor bumps in the road, but nothing that wasn't corrected asap by the staff/management. I was... More

For me, Great Huts and the surrounding Portland parish really are paradise. I stayed here briefly for a weekend in summer 2011 and knew I had to find my way back some day. My dreams came true when I returned in December of 2012. From the outset, the staff was warm and welcoming. I received excellent service from everyone during... More

By starting with the choice of the perfect site - a location that brings joy to the senses - and ever so skillfully blending into it African-inspired "bush" architecture Great Huts' designer displays a stroke of genius. This is a nature lovers dream ... the ideal spot to de-stress and reconnect with simple and profound truths. Enjoy the smiles, service,... More

I had been wanting to stay at the Great Huts for years, indeed it was the main drive behind visiting Jamaica. I reserved the African Sunrise tower. Upon arrival we thought everything looked great, paradise, just like the website. However for our first night there was quite a storm and many of the wooden boards/shutters blew about like crazy getting... More

If you are after a relaxing break close to the nature - this is ideal place for you. Self-sustaining little paradise where you can forget about civilisation, busy life and stress. Starting from yummy breakfast with friendly parrots around, finishing on admiring sea view sipping a drink in the pool on the cliffs - perfect day! Every hut is unique,... More

So serene and the view is amazing! The food was good and so was the hospitality, but the accommodations were not up to par with the price. There are many other inns in Portland that cost half the price with similar condition, and while there i was pleased but had I done more research I probably could have had just... More

Owner's response - I am sorry that our guests felt that our prices were high. Pricing of course reflects the cost of doing business. Our huts range in price from only US$50 to US$250. Several of our huts cost US$70 per couple including breakfast, making for a very economical vacation or weekend getaway. Staffing, electricity, maintenance, supplies and insurance are... More

Beautiful vacation. The rooms are excellent very comfortable and clean. The staff was very welcoming and very professional. The food was delicous, especially breakfast. I enjoyed every morning the sliced of papaya and watermelon. This was the best vacation ever !!!! Thanks to Ms. Llyoda.

I stayed here at this hotel in April 2013 for 4 days. I was traveling alone. I had just arrived from Costa Rica. It was an amazing experience. From the very moment I walked inside, they treated me like family. I was absolutely blown away by the level of detail they have placed in each room (public and private) and... More

By now I've been to Great Huts 5 times over the last 3 years. It's always a different experience. We've stayed in the Granery, Kaya, Bamboo Tree House and Queen of Sheba (twice). The accomodation is not what you would expect on a typical Caribbean Vacation. But the beds are soft and you will sleep well. It is what it... More

We only stayed 3 nights at this beautiful resort but I wish we had more time to enjoy it. It seemed like we had the place to ourselves yet there were others staying there. We stayed in the bamboo treehouse, very private. The setting was perfect... A perfect view from all windows to all directions. Our 3yr old daughter loved... More
