About Jamaica Inn

Every room is a suite, ranging from 452 sq ft to 2,196 sq ft. Several of the largest have a private pool and a balcony with sea views. The ground-floor Premier Suite has a veranda that opens directly onto the sand or the waterfront, and the Deluxe Suite and King Suite with Ocean View look across the gardens to the Caribbean Sea. Air conditioning and a fan come with every suite.

A day here can be unhurried or busy. The spa and wellness center offers massage, manicure, pedicure and hair salon services, and there are yoga classes and a fitness center too. Water sport facilities are on site, and snorkelling, windsurfing, diving, fishing, cycling and horse riding are among the activities. Meals can be taken at the restaurant, the coffee shop or the terrace, with a bar for the evening. Live music and performances, evening entertainment and movie nights fill the later hours, and darts and board games are there for quieter ones. Walking tours, a cooking class and a tour or class on local culture suit travelers who want to learn about Jamaica.

The practical side is well covered. Parking and WiFi are free, the front desk is staffed around the clock, and a concierge and tour desk can help with plans. An airport shuttle is available for an additional charge. For dinner, men are asked to wear long trousers and a collared shirt, and a deposit may be required at the property.
