Jamaica Inn is a small and elegant resort with a secluded white sand beach, set in the Ocho Rios region of Jamaica. The hotel has been privately owned by the same family for over 65 years, and its reputation for understated luxury has meant the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Katherine Hepburn have retreated to Jamaica Inn for holidays. It is also a firm favourite amongst the Tropic Breeze team - it really is a timeless, Caribbean classic.
Jamaica Inn offers just 55 spacious suites and cottages, giving it an intimate and homely atmosphere. Accommodation is elegant and beautiful, with each suite offering a furnished terrace or balcony, perfect for enjoying those sunset drinks. Every room at Jamaica Inn is beautiful, but we particularly recommend Suite 21, which is set on its own private peninsula with a private pool and direct access to the sea.
Breakfast is served at Sea Shanty Restaurant overlooking the bay, while lunch can be enjoyed either here or on the beach. The team at Jamaica Inn will also be happy to bring your drinks and lunch directly to your sun lounger, so you don't even need to move - until you head up to the cocktail terrace to enjoy the afternoon tea. Evenings start with complimentary hors d’oeuvres on the cocktail terrace before dining al fresco on the Jamaica Inn terrace. Guests can enjoy a five-course menu, which changes each day to reflect the best local seafood and produce.
You can do as little or as much as you like during your stay at Jamaica Inn. Guests can choose to relax on the white sand beach with a book, take to the resort’s croquet lawn or explore the bay with the complimentary non-motorised watersports. The beach is also a popular nesting ground for Hawksbill turtles, so during the autumn months guests are likely to be able to witness sea turtles hatching either here or on a nearby beach. An activity we would highly recommend is Shop & Cook with Chef Maurice, where guests can visit the local farmers market with the Executive Chef, followed by a cooking demonstration of an iconic Jamaican dish.
There is something very special about Jamaica Inn. You can spend the morning on the beach with a good book, play a game of croquet accompanied by a chilled glass of Rose in the afternoon and enjoy cocktails and canapes on the terrace ahead of a delicious dinner. It really is the perfect place to unwind.
All suites and cottages at Jamaica Inn are spacious and elegant with a private terrace or balcony, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, Wi-Fi, hair dryer, a mini fridge, beach towels, bathrobes, a phone, a safe, toiletries and a daily turndown service. In order to allow you to truly relax and unwind the rooms do not feature TVs.
