Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was an unforgettable experience. The rooms were cozy and spacious with beautiful views and a touch of eclectic charm. The service, provided by the owner himself, had its ups and downs but showed potential. The location was like no other in the Caribbean, offering a serene and spectacular setting. The dining experience was decent but had its shortcomings.
The hotel offers breathtaking views of the mountains from the wrap-around balcony, creating a cozy and spacious feel in the rooms. The service is pleasant but lacks organization, with standout airport transfer service. The location exudes a relaxed vibe with musical connections, offering extraordinary views of Kingston and the Blue Mountains. The dining experience is average, but the homemade ice cream is a delightful treat.
I stayed at this hotel in the Blue Mountains, and it was a mixed experience. The rooms, though charming with traditional wooden buildings, lacked sound insulation, which compromised privacy. On the upside, the cozy interior and comfortable ambiance were inviting, making me want to stay indoors. The service, while commendable for maintaining the cottages well, felt a bit distant at times. The location, with breathtaking views of Kingston and the Blue Mountains, was truly spectacular. The dining experience was fabulous, and the facilities were well-maintained.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of charming moments and some shortcomings. The place felt small but charming, perfect for a short stay, especially if you're a Bob Marley fan.
The hotel offers attractive and traditional wooden buildings with great views and tranquil surroundings. The rooms are spacious, featuring a deck, patio, and outdoor shower, but lack sound insulation for privacy. The staff took excellent care of me during my stay.
