Jamaica Inn

Yawn…another 10 out of 10 rating When I began researching reviews of the Jamaican Inn on Trip Advisor and Expedia the lowest rating I found was 8. It caused me to question if somehow the bad reviews were edited. So on our journey to Jamaica Inn I couldn’t help but wonder. Well, it didn’t take long upon arrival to realize the ratings were right. A beautiful, peaceful setting with the nicest team of employees you will ever meet. There was no sign of damage from the hurricane and even the drive from Montego Bay showed only minimal signs of damage. Apparently the south and west side of the island suffered appreciable damage. Some highlights: 1.). Went deep sea fishing as they offer a 2 hour trip which was perfect for me. Fishermen Tony and Gary picked me up right on the Jamaica Inn beach. Caught the biggest barracuda they ever saw! lol 2.) Hired taxi driver Cecile, absolute gentleman, to drive us to local restaurants including Rocks, Linda’s and Ocean 11. (Try their oxtail- local dish. Superb!) Dunn’s Falls, The Blue Hole and downtown Ocho Rios. 3.). Watched James Bond movies on Thursday nights under the stars right on the beach, with popcorn! Cool. 4.). As nature lovers, we were ecstatic to learn there was a turtle nest on the beach. The nicest wildlife person, Ovan, visited every couple days to check on their progress and educate us along the way. We stayed in the west wing. (By the way Churchill stayed in the end room next to us.) Our room was beautiful with a back patio that opens up oceanside to the sound of waves against the rocks. We fed the tropical fish bread every morning and in the evening watched the sunsets. Only one word of caution: The west wing is close to where the local band plays from 7 PM to 10:30 PM. (Why not 9 PM?) every night. And the volume is on the high side. If noise is an issue for you I would suggest bringing a head set to deaden the sound. Earplugs don’t work, I tried. If you’re looking for peace, relaxation and beauty well, yup, Jamaica Inn is a 10. Now for the team members that made our trip extra special. And this is hard as there were so many, so I apologize to those that I may have overlooked. Okar making a special gesture to make our last night so memorable Ashley with her big beautiful smile delivering a cold smoothie to everyone on the beach each day Patrick the tiki bartender always picking out a cold Red Stripe delivered with a warm welcome Carter always taking care care of us at breakfast even though we were always asking for just the right table Giovani, Desmond and Albert beach attendants. I was so Impressed with their work ethic and how nice they were. We would talk but only for a short time as they had work to do. Sadie our housekeeper (you want to talk about work ethic) blew me away. And such a sweetheart Finally, Brittany at the front desk handling all of my requests with a smile Finally, STRONGLY recommend purchasing Club Mobay service to guide you through the airport security in what can be at times long lines. Well worth the $. With that, Godspeed to all at the Jamaica Inn. You will live in my lovely wife Ruthann and my memories. Ron & Ruthann

As before, a relaxed atmosphere concealing hard work from the staff to ensure impeccable service and great food. A place to get away from it all.

We had a weeks stay at this lovely family run hotel. The hospitality was first class. I want to say a very special thank you to ASHA, she always greeted us with a smile and made us feel very much at home, she’s a credit to the hotel. Also William, they work hard at making sure the guests are happy.

Best massage service AND views in Jamaica! Tranquility. That is what greeted myself and my wife when arriving and sadly - also leaving the Ocean Spa. It is a little gem of peace with cliffside views of the ocean in private bungalows. The prices are very reasonable and the service and atmosphere make this the best option for massage in Jamaica! We went twice in one week and got the lymphatic and couples sunset massages. I say went because we actually stayed at Moon Palace with our much larger extended family, but this was the highlight of the trip. A true must for couples who enjoy nature and a relaxing environment. Thank you to the staff and hope to stay ourselves now that we know what we missed!

I had such an amazing experience at The Ocean Spa. From the moment I arrived, the receptionist Sheree was so welcoming, kind, and professional. She made the check-in process smooth and made me feel comfortable right away. My massage therapists Marcuse and Danneisha were incredible. They were attentive, skilled, and made sure I was relaxed the entire time. The massage was exactly what I needed and the ocean view made the experience even more peaceful and unforgettable. Thank you all for such a wonderful and relaxing spa experience. I would definitely recommend this spa to anyone visiting Jamaica!
