Our stay was nice! Actually had the entire property to ourselves! However I believe that may have come at a price of no bar/restaurant services, we are very adaptable and understanding so it was not a big issue. Property is amazing! Will return when back in Jamaica!

Hi thanks for reviewCan you tell me who was working? We have bar and restaurant service for a fee? Did the worker not offer you these services?

I really hate to give them 1 star. The view is to die for and the place is clean. Clearly the owners have the best intentions. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST. We are returning Jamaicans. I want to subjectively declare that there is a disparity in the service and treatment offered to us than those of our traditional tourist counterparts 1. There was no record of our reservation 2. There was no hot water in the shower and I had the NERVE to insist on wanting a room with hot water. I was told “the water isn’t cold”. I insisted on it and we were given a different room… as per Rose, she took care of it for us 3. The sink pipe barely has water coming out… don’t worry, I didn’t complain as the tub had hot water. 4 The sliding doors are extremely difficult to slide— don’t bother just squeeze sideways unto the porch! We got a beautiful breakfast 2 days in a row I believe compliments of Rose. On our third day we were scheduled to leave at 9:30 Breakfast was usually served at 9, there was none. Not even an offering of tea or juice. All the workers were sitting around talking until the new guest from the previous night came down. They were greeted warmly and offered an option of breakfast and served in front of us. When Rose was asked why the difference in treatment she once again took ownership and said “I just wasn’t in a working mood today”. Upon leaving, we gave her $20 tip anyway. 5. Let me emphasize that there are no stores in the immediate vicinity for someone to WALK to.

Great Stay! Overall happy about the accommodations. If you book your stay at this location, be ready to show your booking at the desk for a smooth, quick, and easy check-in process. The restroom is nice and the linen was fresh.For the room my boyfriend and I stayed in, I would suggest replacing that chair that had old rusted legs. Also, add an additional nightstand on the other side of the bed. Thanks again!

Thanks for review Did you talk to staff about the issues ? Do you have any pics of the issues ? We dont have a car or old car parts ? The coffee we have is official blue mountain certified coffee. The tile for the pool came in late because of covid shipping delays and we are retiling 1 pool. The other pool on the guesthouse side is open. Thanks

This is very nice place. AC, hot water, clean sheets and towels, tv etc. it is safe, quiet and CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT….which it was very convenient. “House-made food”, with the staff very approachable and willing to accommodate your need. If you text beforehand to the hotel’s number, they will answer you. I stayed there for 2 nights without any problems. It is a typical Jamaican colorful place, so if you are looking for the Marriott Marquis in NYC, this is not that luxurious place, but it’s coziness and warm environment will satisfy your trip. Thank you very much to the staff. I had a good time!

Thanks for your stay Its a public beach. Please contact jamaica tourism board about the beach cleanliness. We have a credit card machine, you said you didnt have a card ? Your Auntie made the payment on expedia website . Why didnt you report to our staff you didnt have hot water ? You never paid for the food you ate on our property ? Your food was free and you still write a bad review. ? Or can you at least pay us for the food you ate? Expedia only collects payments for the room.

The property was off the beaten path, very quiet, and had a wonderful ambiance with waves lashing the shores right behind the building. We had a room with a balcony which overlooked the sea. I appreciate the fact that I wanted a room with a view which was not available at the time of check in but the staff did all they could to make this accommodation available for me. While the workers did everything possible to make our stay comfortable, it seems as if they are overworked and understaffed. Meals, although delicious, took a long time to prepare. If you are the only guest wishing for a cooked dinner on premises, you are out of luck as it is not practical to cook for one or two people. Apparently they recently went through a staff change and are trying to keep the pace, so what I experienced is not what most previous reviews spoke of glowingly.

Before we got on the plane to head to Jamaica, I messaged the place to ask about late check-in and they responded very quickly, even asking what we wanted for supper when we arrived! We pulled up at around 8pm and rang the bell at the property's gate. A moment later a young woman came out and directed us in. She took us to our room and even offered to let us switch rooms if we didn't like the one she had allotted to us. We decided the original room was fine and she advised us to head down to the patio by the pools when we were ready to eat. We realized quickly that the lock to our room was broken and we were unable to gain access back to our room. The property immediately started working on getting the door fixed and let us move to a 2-bed room so our stuff could be secure. No paper work, or anything, just a simple transfer. They went the extra mile beyond that by providing certain comforts that we enjoyed at home, but were afraid we'd have to go without while on vacation. Each morning the property made us breakfast (jamaican or american) and every evening they made us supper (jamaican or american). Each breakfast came with a plate of fresh fruit for my wife and I to share as well as a hot tea and coffee. The bananas, y'all, are out.of.this.world. They offered to take us around town and to help us get around in places that tourist may not be as welcomed. By the end of the trip, we felt we had made new friends. More on google maps reviews!

I only stayed for a few hours but the attendant was very accommodating. He cooked a meal for me and made sure the Netflix was on so that I could catch up on my shows while waiting for my connecting flight. Despite the accommodations, the room I was in had a beautiful ocean view! The only down side which I didn’t think was a downside was that the place was hard to find and there was a lot of construction happening around the property so your views are limited, still breathtaking though!

Safe Kingston Relaxing Stay
If you are traveling near the Kingston area, definitely stay here! The host could not be more accommodating and made sure that we had everything that we could possibly need. We felt extremely safe because once we drove onto the property, the gate was locked behind us keeping us separated from the rest of the neighborhood. The host made a delicious delicious dinner for us which we ate on the patio overlooking the ocean. I missed my dog, but the adorable property dog Xena filled that void as she hung out with us by the pool. We stayed one night here on our way through and it was perfect. It was also extremely clean.

GQ and his staff were absolutely amazing! They were very attentive and accommodated all of our requests, from the music, food, and transportation (we didn't use the transp but was informed it's an additional service if needed). This place was clean, everyday someone was cleaning the Guesthouse which was reflected in it's frangrance and appearance. The roads adjacent to the their property are terrible just about every where. You will damage your vehicle ... we did. Get full coverage auto ins if renting a vehicle. We did! The view was breathtaking and relaxing! I was there for a funeral and found this affordable hidden gem. It was meant to be because we'll definitely be back at the Guesthouse!

A taste of paradise
Excellent view of sea and hills from patio and room. Can hear the waves on the shore in the room - -sounds beautiful at night. Everything was in good condition. Safe, quiet location. Incredibly hospitable service. Absolutely delicious home-cooked meals served on the covered patio where you can see and hear the water and hang out with other guests if you like - also well-stocked bar, small outdoor pools, and area to catch the sun. Access to a pebble beach. It would be a very bad idea to come to the Kingston area and not spend at least a few nights here!

When we walked up, the place appeared to be completely under construction and there was no official front desk, looked like someone's very dirty living room/office. GQ was the man who greeted us. He was very nice but it was hard to tell if he was official hotel staff or a construction worker. The rooms were nicely decorated, had AC, Netflix and were very clean. No fridge. GQ was very kind and drove us to the nearby tuck shop where we got some delicious fried chicken. The patio is really great, pretty views and a nice pool. GQ also gave us a ride to the airport rather early in the morning. GQ is the man! However, the Wellness Center itself appears to be in a state of construction and you can tell we were there during the off season. Maybe we would try it again once it is fully up and running next year.

I booked a room here because it is close to the airport, and my flight was leaving early in the morning. What a great place for our last night in Jamaica! We spent the afternoon and evening by the pool relaxing, eating delicious curry goat and chicken, and watching fisherman cast their nets and bring in their hauls.

We arrived late and didn’t know where to eat in the area and GQ went to get us dinner and brought it back for us. We had goat curry and it was honestly the best meal we had in Jamaica! He also made us an unbelievably generous complimentary breakfast in the am that was ready early for our departure! The pool area is right over lookingthe ocean and absolutely gorgeous!

Sorry for any inconvenience but you may not be aware of the transportation strike that is going on in jamaica due to ridiculous covid regulations that were imposed on our country. Instead of putting Jamaicans down maybe you can ask your govt to stop sending money for bombs in ukraune and send the money to our country and help people instead of killing people?
