I cannot think of a better hotel in the world. The setting is beautiful. The staff cannot do enough for you. They even called Shadow the dog to come to say goodbye to us when we left. A nice addition is food at the beach bar (including pizzas) a couple of nights a week which is more informal. We failed again to make it off property - as why would you leave!! One idea - why not include a basic breakfast of fruit, toast and eggs as part of the room cost?

First visit back after a very brief stay a year ago. This place is really quite sublime. Old school, very elegant, main buildings very well kept, staff is superb at friendliness and service, and management is nearly always around. We asked for a beachfront room and ended up in a spectacular waterfront room. Out back porch was directly on the rocks over the water. Building is old, but furnishings are like antiques and very well kept up. I heard another guest say that they must paint this place four times a year. No peeling paint or evidence of wear anywhere. The beach is a perfect crescent and is completely private for guests of this small hotel. While the rooms can be expensive, they stocked the fridge with some soft drinks and waters which were about 1/2 of what you get charged at other resorts for minibar. The food is superb, both at lunch and dinner. I think many people take all their meals at the resort but never seems too crowded. There is a dress code at dinner, and folks start collecting at the bar watching the sunset an hour or so before dinner. All dressed like adults, no t shirts and ball caps. Once the restaurant opens, everyone gradually goes down and gets seated. There is a band which is great, and each night the dinner menu is different enough that there is a lot on offer. Didn't have anything which didn't taste great. Also wine list is large, and has lots of reasonable bottles in the $40 range - which is unusual for many good restaurants. There are activities, but we prefer to sit on the beach and just relax - which is what this place is all about. For those looking for peace and quiet and adult relaxation, you can't do better than this! First class in every respect.

From the personal welcome by the owner to his personal farewell our eight days at the Jamaica Inn felt like we were staying with family. The blue and white buildings of the hotel blend beautifully with the clear blue sea of the private bay which the hotel occupies. A fifty room hotel that seems much smaller as the rooms are spread out over a large site, coupled with the discretion of the occupants. No rushing down to the beach to place a towel on a recliner, the beach attendants were always able to provide us with seats together with our family and at a discrete distance from our nearest neighbours. The rooms are old world elegant with spacious and very comfortable balconies where one can lounge away the afternoon after a busy day on the beach. The staff are for the most part very friendly and the 11.00 complimentary cocktail served on the beach is always welcome. There is little attraction in venturing off the property so we are there exclusively. The dinner menu changes regularly but the lunch menu is a bit limited and could do with freshening up a bit. Not sure how they make their french fries but not to my taste (but when that’s the only critical point it cannot be bad). We occupied three rooms adjoining each other and all of the family present said it was the best family holiday they had ever had. Every now and again you stay at a hotel that you are already thinking of returning to when you check out - I overheard one guest telling a fellow guest that it was her 64th year of staying there. That’s the sort of place it is. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace and tranquility - a great place to unwind.
