My boyfriend & I actually stayed here about 5 years ago. It was my first of many trips to Jamaica & I wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with the touristy areas such as Ocho Rios or Negril. Nor do I now. This place is not for you if you need television, dance clubs, bars or college student filled hotels &... More

Had a very enjoyable vacation staying at this nice hotel nestled in the hills above Bluefields. Fantastic views, great food and the owner is friendly and accomodating. The beach is very nice and this is a very beautiful part of Jamaica. Definitely would recommend...

If you want to go to stay somewhere with all the home comforts, then go to one of the all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica. If you've got a bit more of sense of adventure, then Shaftston is a great place to stay for a couple of nights. The drive up to the house is a bit hair-raising, but we easily managed... More

This hotel was once a buzz of activity with travellers and those prepared to venture off the beaten track for amazing views. Frank the owner is a very friendly host. Highly recommended for the view but not a luxury stay in terms of facilities. Excellent breakfast and dinner and free alcohol included in the price.

Don’t go there. Everything it’s run down. There are no guests, it’s like in the horror-movie. Maybe it was a nice place 10 years ago.

We have been travelling to Jamaica and staying at the Shafston Greathouse for 5 years now. If you are looking for a relaxing laid back experience and peace and quiet - this is your destination! The southwest shore of Jamaica is wonderfully non-tourist and gives you an opportunity to meet many of the friendly and colorful locals. The beaches are... More

This hotel has seen far better days. The rooms are dirty, the pool too but the views are magnificient. Don't speak about the kitchen.. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. The owner is friendly but for a great view it's a lot of money.

Our stay at Shafston is a list of great memories. Frank and his team welcome you at any time (we arrived at 1am). We enjoyed everything in the Great house and the surroundings. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. There are plenty of places to relax: the pool room, the bar, the Jacuzzi, the swimming pool, the wrap-around porch. Watching... More
