Round Hill Hotel and Villas

Round Hill is lovely and you can tell from being there it is a place families return again and again. Staff is fantastic and we enjoyed every interaction with each of them. Overall, there is a premium exacted at every turn, which we don't love. Staying at expensive places, you sort of know what you're getting into but here it felt a little bit extra...there are so many staff catering to you, which is nice but there is a definite air of expectation that you are tipping each one of them - AND there is a 10% tax and 18.5% gratuity on most everything...but staff will say that gets split amongst everyone so then tipping on top of that becomes routine. We were told that prices went up a little over a year ago and with what we spent for 1 week here, not sure we would go back when there are so many other wonderful options. What you get for the money perhaps feels a bit more 'in line' elsewhere, unless you had the sense of nostalgia for this place, which we do not.

The hotel rooms, beds, villas, staff, views, beach and pool…really this property is amazingly beautiful with exceptional service!

I spent 3 days at Round Hill Hotel in Jamaica. Great location, close proximity from Montego Bay airport, but a world to itself. Words cannot describe the beauty of this very special hotel. If you are looking for an elevated and authentic Jamaican experience, Round Hill is your place. From the luxurious elegance of its rooms and villas, to the breathtaking lush gardens, tropical greenery and many beautiful beaches, Round Hill offers a very relaxing environment. Most importantly, the staff was exceptional. From the front desk to the restaurants they were all on point. Can't wait to get back to Round Hill. Roger Lord, Brooklyn, NY.

We just returned from a really enjoyable 4 night, 5 day trip to Round Hill. The staff, particularly Shelly, Burch, and Owen, were all very pleasant and helpful. The grounds are very well kept and beautiful, with great views of the Caribbean and sunsets. The food was well prepared and the drinks were delicious. We booked a 1 bedroom suite with a plunge pool, but the accommodations were more like a 1 bedroom villa with 3 floors and an amazing full size pool. The top floor consisted of the bedroom, ample closet space, a large full bath, and two large balconies - one overlooking the entrance and one overlooking the pool. The middle floor was the main entrance and living room with a full bath, closet space, and a large balcony overlooking the pool. The bottom floor was another large living space with a dinning table, kitchen, and full bath with an outdoor shower, and opened to the pool area. The entire space has a very open design that we really liked. We would have given Round Hill 5 stars except for one issue that was bothersome. We were told the previous guest took the key with them when they left and there was not an extra key. While we were able to lock the suite/villa while we were in it, (we thought) we were not able to lock it when we left to go to the beach or dinner. The reason I said we “thought” we could lock it while we were in it is because we realized the glass door to the outdoor shower either does not have a lock or we could not find it, and the internal locks we tried to use did not work. So, although we felt safe, there was some discomfort that the suite/villa could not be secured. Hopefully they will get those issues corrected because being able to secure the accommodations, while we are there and when we are out, is a minimum expectation. Other than that issue, we give Round Hill high marks. We had a great time and the people were great.

Round Hill was a fantastic experience for my family of four (including two young girls). Or Villa was gorgeous and well maintained, complete with friendly personalized breakfast everyday. The staff was extremely friendly and kind to us at every juncture. Their kids club was also a delight for our girls. While venturing into town or doctors beach works require a driver, the scenery here was so idyllic we didn’t feel the need to venture out save for a trip to the dolphin cove. Between the beach and the infinity pool, we had a fantastic visit and look forward to as future return!
