For the last five years I have stayed there ranging from 3- 7 days and have enjoyed every stay. The furnishings are getting threadbare and worn in may places but on the whole , clean and looked after. The ambiance is one of understated elegance, the breakfasts are excellent and the surf and turf Wednesday theme night to die for.... More

My final night in Jamaica I wanted to make special and booked into the 5 star all suite hotel called the Terra Nova, and it didn't disappoint. My suite entitled the 'Hemingway' named after the writer was bigger and better than I expected. My own office decked with computer, printer and internet, large lounge area, small kitchenette-bar, a huge bed... More

Happened to stay at Terra Nova for one night only, as I came to Kingston for a very special birthday party and this hotel was recommended by a friend. I was really pleased at the suggestion as I knew that I could then also go shopping at the Eurowear store in the Hotel, which carries Escada. Well, the pleasure was... More

We spent the first 2 nights of our recent first visit to Jamaica here and we could not have made a better choice. We had booked a standard room but to our great delight on arrival we were given a complimentary upgrade to the Blue Mountain Suite which was out of this world! Extremely spacious and comfortable suite with gorgeous... More

The grounds are simply beautiful. With tropical plants and the pointsettias are simply gorgeous. The breakfast buffet was scrumptious. Eating onthe veranda is quite an experience. They even have a small casino thaqt is akways crowded withfree drinks and some finger foods. The rooms have a refrigerator, coffee maker and tea. Would stay there again. Staff very helpful too. More

I am at the hotel on room 207. In Kingston, the Terranova may be the best hotel. On a previous visit on September I stayed at the Spanish Court. Is a new hotel but it lacks the sense of place that you feel at the Terranova. A colonial house with beautiful gardens were the personnel is professional, attentive, courteous. The... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our four-day stay at Terra Nova. Small, suite hotel in center of Kingston with the lushest lawn and garden. Well cared for facility. Comfortable, well-appointed room with refrigerator in room. Very courteous, helpful staff. Enjoyed native food at the daily sumptuous breakfast buffet. Meals a bit pricey, but delicious. We didn't want to leave because of the relaxing,... More
