Having stayed at Jamaica Inn for several days in December, I thought it was about time to write a review. They say first impressions are everything, well when you check in, you are greeted with friendly, professional staff and a stunning view of the grounds, the beach and the sea. From the moment, we arrived to the moment we left, we really enjoyed this resort. The rooms are well appointed with modern bathrooms and A/C that can’t be beat. I don’t think there is a bad view from any room. We were on the ground floor with a great verandah that served as another room. We were just steps from the small beach which is dotted with palapas and comfy loungers ready for your day of rest and relaxation. The grounds are impeccable and if you are interested, a gardener will take you on a tour and tell you everything you need to know. There is a small pool and a beach bar which serves you with any delicious concoction you can imagine. Speaking of serving, the waiters are something to behold, carrying room service on trays on their heads, no hands, just great posture! You can see them all day making deliveries to guests, I don’t think they spill a drop! Many many years of practice. Then there is Inni and Zion, who are father and son resident dogs who follow their mummy, Mary, everywhere. They are a wonderful addition to the resort. The Spa is delightful, I did not have a massage but did enjoy my time there. It sits on the edge of the water, so you can sit outside while getting your nails done and hear the water below. Absolutely divine. The food is very very good but a little expensive. We had a lovely meal one evening under the stars while there was live music playing. There is a small gym that is well equipped to help balance any overindulgences.
Overall, this is a place to rest, relax and enjoy, while being pampered in understated luxury.
