Why Jamaica Inn?
• Jamaica Inn has been one of the best loved hotels in the Caribbean since the 1950’s.
• A small and perfect all-suite hotel resting on 700ft of Jamaica’s premier private beach which is equally as good for
swimming as it is for sunbathing.
• A family owned property that has been in the same family for over 60 years.
• Free from distractions (TV’s, clocks and radios), each suite is designed with spacious balconies, comfortably furnished to
ensure guests relax and soak up views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea.
• Jamaica Inn’s breakfast has been voted ‘The Best Kept Secret’ and is a leisurely affair. Enjoy either on the Restaurant
Terrace or in the comfort of your suite’s balcony/ verandah.
• Wonderfully attentive and friendly staff that are always on hand to make each guest feel extra special.
• All suites have an outside living space with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and the newest addition, Cottage 7, is
one of the most gorgeous suites on the island. Plus newest addition of three 1 bedroom Beach Bungalows, located on a
private secluded cove adjacent to the Ocean Spa.
• The stunningly refurbished Ocean Spa nestled on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea – indulge in a wide range of
holistic treatments which make use of the finest local ingredients.
Why Jamaica?
• Jamaica’s diversity makes it an exciting and vibrant destination. From the Blue Mountain range right down to the
golden sandy beaches, Jamaica is oozing with natural beauty and there is something for everyone.
• Its rich culture means there is always something interesting to do or see, from the Bob Marley celebrations to the Jerk
Festival during the summer.
• Jamaica is a world class destination for golf, as well as many other sporting activities including land and water based
sports, hiking trails, river rafting, as well as some of the more sedate pursuits such as bird watching and discovering the
natural flora and fauna that Jamaica has in abundance.
• Jamaicans are great entertainers and renowned artisans so part of any itinerary must include a visit to a Rum shop, Jerk
station, art gallery or a market just to enjoy their unique spirit.

Personal Viewpoint
Jamaica is one of the most naturally beautiful, diverse and popular destinations in the Caribbean. Jamaica
Inn allows its guests to enjoy all of the beauty of the island from a peaceful and relaxing haven. We love
the fact that you can lose yourself in the stillness that surrounds the hotel, with no reminders of the
outside world and seemingly endless tranquillity.
The entire property is stylishly decorated but our favourite bit has to be the huge balconies and verandahs
extending from each suite. Fully furnished, they act more like open air living rooms and it’s easy to see why
they are the hotel’s crowning glory.
The General Manager and his team ensure attentive yet unobtrusive personal service.
