The hotel

Whilst staying at Jamaica Inn, Winston Churchill swore the light was the best in the world for his watercolours. Jamaica Inn is one of the loveliest small luxury hotels in Jamaica. Now over 60 years old, it retains a gracious air of colonial Jamaica and attracts individuals and couples (some famous), who return on a regular basis. There is a wonderful, natural tranquility about this hotel and it has a lovely location on a private 700 ft white sand beach. Dining is on an outdoor terrace that adjoins the bar terrace. A more romantic setting is hard to imagine, and in keeping with the ‘Noel Coward’ lifestyle, there is a live band most nights. There is a cocktail terrace with a magnificent view and in step with its elegant classic approach, there is a dress code after dark. Bordered by an exquisite 700 ft-long beach, the hotel is in Ocho Rios on the tranquil North Coast of the island. All guest suites face the beach and the turquoise water. Each suite has a verandah or a balustraded balcony and many guests opt to leave the air-conditioning off and allow the sea breeze instead to do the work.

The hotel is fantastic. Staff are wonderful and make sure the guests are thoroughly pampered! The beach is beautiful. Sand and sea perfect. Food excellent. We went to the spa which was so relaxing. The massage was excellent and the experience was really enhanced by the sound of the crashing waves. It can't get much better than this!

Yolanda was amazing - gave me a body scrub and massage - it was just so perfect! This place is a must and I’ll be coming back again for sure! You get a beautiful view and just that peace of serenity you are longing for! I literally can’t come to Jamaica without coming here. Until next time

“Our home away from home”🇯🇲 The Jamaica Inn is a back paddle into the past and a deep dive into paradise. This secluded property hidden in the mountains of Ocho Rios features pristine beaches, tenured guests and service the way my dad reminisces from the good ole days. The team on property pampered us all day and night, making us feel like celebrities and part of their family, everyone knew our names and made it seem like we have been visiting for years. The attention to detail, passion, love for service and their respect for traditions will keep us coming back for a lifetime. The Ocean Spa, on premise, is truly a hidden gem. You take along walk, which seems to be off property, to discover their private cottages, bungalows and this stairway to heaven - a unique spa hanging on the ocean cliff. A massage of a lifetime, a morning swim in the ocean, a machete to coconut 🥥 for fresh wata, hand made pizza down by the beach, live music, dancing, tea time, a piano bar, breath taking views, butler service, a Bup Bup and a rum punch (virgin for me). Big Ups to everyone @thejamaicainn #goodvibesonly #onelove We leave tomorrow and will be dreaming about our next visit #soonreach Read less

My massage at Ocean spa with Kenneth was outstanding. He is a master of the profession. Of course only the best of the best at the Jamaica Inn. The quiet ocean setting and the sounds of the waves with expert services was above and beyond one’s expectations.
