Jamaica Inn

My daughter and I just returned from a girls' trip to celebrate her Sweet 16 at the Jamaica Inn. She did not want to leave! I now understand why so many guests choose to return to the Inn year after year. Everything about this hotel is special... the staff is seriously the kindest and most helpful staff I've encountered (countless staff members have worked at the Inn for many years- they said it's like their family), the beach and views are postcard perfect, the food and drinks are delicious, the sunsets breathtaking, and the rooms are both well-appointed and comfortable. Each night, we drifted to sleep with the sound of the ocean gently lulling us to slumber. Shadow, the owners' loving Black Lab, is a joyful regular on the property. The Inn's timeless traditions (daily tea at 4 p.m., nightly live music, and the manager's cocktail hour are not to be missed). We even met one of the owners, Eric, at both check-in and check-out. It's clear that much love, attention, and care go into the management of this family-owned Inn. Thank you to everyone who made our trip so amazing... my daughter and I cannot wait to return!!

We had such a wonderful, relaxing time at this beautiful and elegant hotel. Understated luxury at its very best, with exceptional staff - particularly Ash and Patrick at the beach bar both of whom make the perfect G&T! - and delicious food. The weather was a little temperamental during our stay, but we spent rainy afternoons sitting on the large veranda reading. The rooms are spotless and the little sweet treats at bedtime are a nice touch. The road behind the hotel is quite noisy, but waking early is no bad thing when the beach is so beautiful. The service at breakfast was a little slow, but again, maybe no bad thing when you have the whole day in front of you! We felt well looked after, and particularly enjoyed the buffet on the beach under lanterns and the stars. A wonderful experience.

Another lovely week at Jamaica Inn is over and we are so sad to leave. Mornings start with breakfast looking out on the sea from our private veranda followed by beach and swimming in the sea and pool before a dinner either on the beach at Teddys or the more formal dining on the large porch. Any need is attended to by friendly staff people. A most relaxing and beautiful place.

Jamaica Inn was a great experience, especially the staff. Ash, Patrick and Williams at the bar were great. Everyone was very nice, really. Cool low-key vibe with a very attentive team. Also, the food was great. I think we had a patty every day for lunch. We brought two patties to eat at the airport.

We visited Jamaica Inn for 12 days and had the very best time. Apart from the very clean hotel and very good food, the staff were all so brilliant and kind. The music was a great vibe and we were looked after brilliantly. Absolutely loved Shadow the resident labrador who made us feel all at home. Special thanks to all the staff especially to Ash and Williams and Carter. Missing my rum punch already! Miss you guys look forward to meeting up next time. One love Shirley and Tery xxx
