Jamaica Inn was just what I needed! I could not have dreamed for a better environment that is specifically designed for rest & relaxation. This is old school elegance at it's finest. We got a balcony suite which happens to be their most least expensive option. You would never believe it. Though relatively small, the room lacked nothing. Our outdoor veranda was heaven sent. We had our breakfast there almost every morning. Our view was of the beach and that beautiful sea. The staff was wonderful. I heard most staff members have been there 10 years plus. Each make you feel right at home. The food is delicious as well. I truly had no complaints. Not often can I ever say that. The Jamaica Inn is somewhere I plan on going again and again.

Jamaica Inn was our second stop on a 2 stop visit to JA - the first stop being Goldeneye. Interesting to compare these two high end hotels. The room (Rm 48 on the beach) initially felt quite small although the outdoor room certainly made up for that. A totally peaceful and relaxing place, where nothing was too much trouble - lunch....on the beach? at your lounger? in your room? they would probably have brought it into the sea if that was required!!! No TV, no radio, no piped music = heaven! But there is Wi-fi so not completely cut off from the world. The beach itself was glorious - uncrowded and beautifully kept. Staff were wonderful and every one of them were keen to ensure you were enjoying yourself. Having been to lots of Caribbean hotels were 5* really means 3* (without any apologies), this was a little gem which certainly lives up to its rating. Barbecue on the beach was a great night = real barbecue rather than food cooked in the kitchen and covered with BBQ sauce (which we have had elsewhere), bonfire on the beach and great great food. We loved it mostly, although with the strange ornamentation in the public areas (Toby jugs and soldiers and other colonial type artefacts), the constant refrain "it has always been like this and we dont want to see any change", accompanied by the eagerness of the staff to "serve" ... it initially felt as though it belonged to a former colonial age which we found uncomfortable. Overall, though, would definitely recommend Jamaica Inn as a place to relax and recharge. Mary, the General Manager, was the polisher of the gem that is Jamaica Inn!

Service, Service, Service! We have travelled to many luxury hotels in the world & the service @ JI is unbeatable!!! the staff were super friendly & all of them went out of their way to make you feel @ home. We felt so touched knowing that they remembered our names & would greet us as if we were long time friends! Rich, Winston, Andrew (taxi driver), Patrice, & Mary (gm) definitely added to our wonderful experience.

The beach was absolutely serene & beautiful! T&C WAS our favorite destination for escaping the New York winter, but now it has become jamaica! My husband noted that we never had to worry about waking up early to get a good seat on the beach bc it was never crowded, & more importantly, there was ample space btw all the chairs!

All rooms had great views of the beach & the outside veranda was a different (great) experience! The only complaint to mention was that the resort needed renovation, but that did not dampen our opinion of the establishment.

We loved being electronically disconnected from the world! The JI is the ultimate destination for R & R!

I most also mention that my husband forgot his cell phone on the plane & Rich, along with the other great staff, went above & beyond, to find & retrieve it!!!! This would not happen anywhere else!

To all the staff @ the Jamaica Inn, thank you for such a wonderful (unfortunately too short) trip! We are looking forward to our next visit!!! much sooner, than later : )))

Very seldom in my travel experience do you have an experience where everything comes together and the only surprises are pleasant. Jamaica Inn, from the moment you make first contact until you leave, delivers service, food and amenities that are consistently first rate and worth the premium you pay to stay there. Friendly service takes on a new meaning as it is not just obligatory but a reflection of the core values instilled in the staff. Make no mistake this is an older property lacking some of the most up-to-date amenities but the charm, comfort, and sense of an eleagant age more than offset the aging.
