Don't expect any luxury, but fear not. Staying at Mount Edge is an epic experience for the open minded traveler. You'll experience real Jamaica, as Michael Fox, the place's owner, makes sure to have the right blend of guests and visitors at all times. Food is ridiculously fresh - gathered every morning from the field - and extremely well-prepared. The staff and other guests become dear friends. This is one of those places that stay in your heart and you feel like it's a home away from home.

Mount Edge is a lovely place where you can take a deep breath or two, enjoy the incredible view and the delicious food, enjoy the company of lovely people and just be yourself.
I felt in love at the first sight and will definitely come back!
Thank you for the great time, Anna

How does one even begin to write a "review" about a place like this? Do you "review" hanging out with your friends? Would you write a "review" of a comfortable living room in which you once had the pleasure of passing a few hours?

What I'm getting at is that this is the kind of place that exists somewhere beyond your average hotel reviews. Mount Edge is a feeling, an ideal, a place at the edge of reality. It's like I had a beautiful dream where I woke up in an ethereal place with a balcony overlooking a picturesque Jamaican mountain range. 

To begin with, I was picked up by Mickey, the Mount Edge driver, who took me on an incredible voyage through the Blue Mountains, stopping at various waterfalls so I could take photos. When we arrived at the hotel, I was awestruck by the magnificence of the landscape and a curious feeling of being some place both foreign and familiar. 

As a single woman traveling alone, you never know quite what to expect, but when I walked into the common area, I felt immediately at home. My instinct, of course, is to catalogue in finite detail the amazing group of people that I met there for you, but instead, I suppose I should just say that Mistoris' cooking is fantasic and that you should let Robert cook you a meal in the restaurant if you're there on a Sunday (highly recommended--people come here from Kingston specifically to go to this restaurant for a reason). Michael, the owner, is an outstanding host and even opened a bottle of wine with me and another guest and recounted his experiences in the South of France. Dillon (Tony Razor) played his musical single for us and provided much entertainment, and Robin was a fantastic manager and even upgraded me to "the View," which is definitely the best room in the whole place. Not to mention, Amar made me a couple of excellent Rum & Tings in the upstairs bar. 

While you're here you should hike up to the Rastafarian community and ask for Karl to explain to you the mysteries of Rastafarian culture and religion. Then, if you're interested, you can walk (a long way) down to the church in Irish Town for some contrasting Jamaican spiritual beliefs--a very interesting experience to be sure.  

Mickey told me the first night I was there that "Special people come here." Granted, my experience is limited, but I would have to say that the guests and the staff at this place were definitely all part of what made my stay here unforgettable. I highly recommend Mount Edge for anyone looking for something above the ordinary in their Jamaican experience. Mount Edge is by far the most special place that I visited in Jamaica--the kind of place that compels you to return. I'm sure I will someday soon. 

Mt. Edge is amazing! We stayed in their villa (which is an adorable cottage located on the familial coffee plantation). The view overlooking the Blue Mountains as well as Kingston was unforgettable! The following morning we experienced a tour of the grounds and learned about all about the coffee-bean growing process. We we're extremely fortunate and we thank the Fox Family for this unique experience!
