The hotel

Undoubtedly one of the most sought after hotels in the Caribbean, Round Hill Hotel & Villas has been a long-standing Jamaican icon since its opening in 1953. A former pineapple estate on the outskirts of Montego Bay, what is it about Round Hill that makes it such a magnet? Round Hill is where Jacqueline and JFK spent their honeymoon, where Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote the Sound of Music, where Hitchcock got sunburned and where Noel Coward, if egged on enough, would sing for the guests. Today, this elegant beachfront resort offers the same blend of qualities that has always pulled the famous names and faces; namely a well-preserved slice of old Jamaica and tremendous hospitality. You still enjoy the estates' stylish architecture and a predictably colonial pace of life, but with the added pull of an oceanfront spa, an exceptional family program and refurbished hotel rooms designed for beach living by Ralph Lauren, (perhaps whilst visiting his own villa at Round Hill) as so much more. The ocean side restaurant perfectly blends the hotel’s historic pedigree with its new energy.

Not often does one review hotel WiFi but, on this visit to Round Hill, I needed strong connectivity for an important 5 hour meeting. The connection was excellent allowing me to participate fully in this Teams meeting. And, beach WiFi was also excellent. It’s clear that Round Hill pays extreme attention to detail … even their technology. Well done!

Round Hill is a timeless iconic boutique resort. It is a step back in time when guests were royally treated and appreciated. The kind notes from the front desk staff and the General Manager Josef say it best "Welcome Home." That warm greeting understates the feeling you get experiencing a Round Hill stay. The accommodations, staff, restaurant, cuisine, spa, beach, and activities are first rate. Your choices are Ralph Lauren designed room suites or entire Villas that come with a maid who makes you breakfast in the morning! All this executed by an extraordinary caring staff! Looking forward to many more future memories there! Read less

Round hill was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The resort was compact and easy to get around. The room was perfect and the shared spaces are beautiful. The service was mainly great - shout out to Larry and his crew at the pool bar - they were wonderful!! I think Jackie at breakfast may have been having a bad week but every single other person we encountered was great! The managers reception on Wed night was lovely. And the food, my husband can’t stop talking about it. Truly a give star experience. Our one thing for improvement would be a better wifi signal around the resort. Also complimentary sunscreen would be a nice touch. Yeah Mon! Read less

One of the most amazing resorts I have ever visited. The resort is beautiful and high end, but still felt warm and welcoming. The staff is amazing and really adds to the experience. The beach was wonderful and the infinity pool was incredible! The resort is expensive but worth it. And the food was wonderful as well. We will be back!
