Mostly an excellent experience and the hostess and staff were really friendly and helpful. Two downsides are that they did not tell beforehand that dinners and breakfasts cost additionally. Dinner ($18-$24) and breakfast ($8-$10). Also there were some bugs in the room as there was a gap between the door and the door frame. Overall a great accommodation though and ideal for hikers interested in doing the blue mountain peak trail.

It was a nice get away, we were the only guests when we were there, both Breakfast and dinner were great! Very peaceful and beautiful to be just amongst the trees. We drove up the road, and got some snacks and drinks. There is a fridge in the common area, to keep the beer cold. A great place to see another part of Jamaica. Getting there is slow going, narrow and windy lots of potholes to avoid on the road, but worth it once you get there.

Was not offer soap, only towels, place was dusty. T.v was not working. Bad internet service. If you want a certain type of breakfast you have order the day before or settle for eggs and bacon. Nice view, had a hammock to relax in. Noisy outside in the morning because of traffic.

Base for hiking Blue Mountain

Rustic is an apt term. Hot water and wifi were excellent though! We ordered dinner each night and both were fantastic. The staff was very friendly and took great care of us. The first night we mentioned we liked Dragon Stout beer. The second night she had it for us. We drove from Kingston and it was fairly scary. Other drivers were all courteous. One of us would move to the side for the other to pass on the narrow bumpy road. About 90 minute drive from the hotel to the Blue Mountain base. I highly recommend hiring a driver. Marvin drove us- the road was treacherous. The hike was very nice. A lot of elevation. It took us 2.5 hours and $20 USD each to climb. We did not have a guide for the hike. The paths were extremely clear.

RUDE AND ARROGANT STAFF

Customer service was rubbish unprofessional and staff were rude and arrogant, the food we had ordered for room service was cold and with no flavour, our room lock was faulty and was locked out even the maintenance guy could not get into the room so finally after finding a long ladder he climbed in through the balcony.. we was given a upgraded room for our final 9 hrs off stay left at the hotel.... would not recommend this hotel at all.

Quaint hotel/guest house in the midst of nature.

This is a great little hotel (but really more of a guest house). I give the overall rating a 4 out of 5. I want to be clear I am not using a star rating like you might assign to the Intercontinental or Hyatt Regency, but more of a 4 out of 5 experience. I believe that when you travel you need to connect with your surroundings. This hotel is located at 5,000 feet above sea level in the mountains of Jamaica. It's a lush setting and a different environment than most travelers on this site will ever experience. The staff is excellent. Tanya and her team do a great job of making you feel at home. The chef is very accommodating with providing meals each day. The grounds are beautiful. I've been coming to this part of Jamaica for years and this a great trip and can thank the hosts for helping to contribute to my stay. 2 night stay is probably all the typical traveler needs before experiencing another location on the island.

A taste of Paradise

I was spoiled by the staff and really wanted to stay longer. Very relaxing, no fuss about anything. Getting up to enjoy the sunshine and the picturesque views changed to my only goal. I felt safe, relaxed, comfortable and well-cared for -- exactly what I needed this weekend.

Endroit trĂšs agrĂ©able, nichĂ© dans la vĂ©gĂ©tation, avec une belle vue sur les collines alentours. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© trĂšs bien accueillis et avons pu dĂźner sur place, malgrĂ© une heure tardive. Nous recommandons le repas sur place qui Ă©tait dĂ©licieux, et vous serez bercĂ©s par les bruits du ruisseau en mangeant. TrĂšs relaxant ! La chambre et les parties communes ont beaucoup de charme, bien que la salle de bain soit un peu vieillissante. Mais il nous a semblĂ© qu’ils faisaient des travaux dans certains chambres. Vous n’aurez pas le calme absolu Ă  cause de la route, mais la chambre Ă©tait bien isolĂ©e et nous n’entendions que les bruits de la nature depuis l’espace restauration et les jardins. L’endroit est trĂšs accessible depuis Kingston, faites attention Ă  quelques nids de poules, sinon la route est correcte dans son ensemble.

Das Personal war sehr langsam und unorganisiert. Von Resort und Spa war nichts zu sehen. Die Unterkunft an sich war sauber und gut ausgestattet, FrĂŒhstĂŒck und Abendessen mĂŒssen am Vortag bestellt werden. Wenn man ein GetrĂ€nk bestellt, dauert es ewig, bis es serviert wird. Der Preis, der fĂŒr eine Blue Mountain Peak Tour verlangt wird, ist ĂŒbertrieben.

Un peu déçu

Nous avons Ă©tĂ© accueilli par le chef de cuisine Roger qui est vraiment sympathique, contrairement Ă  Shanique, une responsable du site, qui nous a servi le "minimum possible". Nous voulions essayer les trails du site et des alentours mais c'Ă©tait compliquĂ© d'avoir des informations, son attitude Ă©tait plus ou moins agrĂ©able. Le Forres Park a un beau cachet et le site est trĂšs bien. Roger nous a concoctĂ© un excellent souper, il nous a mĂȘme partagĂ© sa recette et fait visiter les petits chalets Ă  louer. Merci Roger! DĂ©part pour le Peak 190$US comprenant les dĂ©placements, le guide et la nourriture, un peu cher.
