by Round Hill Hotel and Villas is by far the most elegant and exclusive resort throughout Jamaica. The 110 hectare peninsula, once a pineapple, has been a hotel since 1953.
President JFK and Jackie O have even rehearsed their honeymoon and Kennedy in Villa 10, which they can visit every morning at 10:30 a.m. while Bell Captain’s Villa Tour (if Joan Collins doesn’t stay in it).
The Villa 12 was once owned by Oscar Hammerstein, and Round Hill was the place where he met the real Maria of Trapp, who inspired him to write the sound of music and several other musicals. His desk is still there today.
For decades, the privacy and exclusivity of the resort has meant that it was from home from home to Glitterati, Literati and literal kings – a supermodel paddled there with her family during our time and even Harry and Meghan.
Where is it?
From the moment they rise from the plane, the Round Hill experience begins. A private driver picks them up and races them off on a very short 30 -minute trip from Montego Bay Sangster Airport. The curvy, green driveway opens up to the flawless white lobby building with striped awnings of forest green.
On arrival, the delightful employees will offer welcome drinks from rum punch or lemon grass. You will have the feeling that you have gone back into the past and a picture of a perfect view of the ocean greets you when you appear.
During your stay, take a walk along one of the hotel’s hotel and explore the coastal paradise in which it is defined. The hotel is located in Montego Bay or Mobay, as the locals call it, a very popular tourist destination due to its white sandy beaches and exciting nightlife as well as its many connections to other areas of the island.
However, you may not want to leave the resort, as Round Hill makes it a mission to take care of every mood.
The style
This is not a striking diligent dies is a master class in all-Exclusive. Round Hill is the definition of calm luxury and first -class hospitality. The overall style of the decoration is the old world, but the resort has a timeless elegance without tired feelings.
Striped beach umbrellas give you the feeling when you entered a slim Aarons photo. Aarons once photographed Babe Paley, one of Truman Capote’s Swans, in her villa, which now belongs to Ralph Lauren. Lauren is constantly responsible for the design aesthetics. White painted wood with beautiful, curated fabrics and the open layout gives the rooms a mood of the coastal cabin.
In the cocktail bar, artistic black and white photos of iconic guests from Penelope Cruz to Princess Margaret are the walls. The terrain is a perfect example of how lush and green is the island. Prepare yourself to have a huge monstera and wonder why your Swiss cheese plant is still the same size as when buying three years ago in the Columbia Road.
There are no televisions in the suites that offer the ultimate peaceful evening on the balcony, the gently fluctuating palm trees observed, which are illuminated by orange and pink sunset. However, if you absolutely want to see football, there is a television in the cozy pineapple room, in which you can also leaf through coffee table photographer. When you have finished your beach, there is even a library so that you can pick up another before you go back to your sun lounger.

Food & drink
Start your day with a freshly squeezed fruit juice. I recommend the papaya, pineapple and ginger juice and follow you with a cappuccino with the round fire of Round Hill, Blue Mountain Coffee Beans, which you will launch for gifts in the gift shop. Be sure to immerse yourself in local flavors and order the Jamaican breakfast from Ackee and Salzfisch with Callaloo and bounce dumplings.
Complementary afternoon tea is served every day from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., where Round Hill’s chefs give a British classic Caribbean. Slightly spiced tunfinger -Sandwiches and scones with cleaned cream and guav jam.
Try to add to your booking at least one Monday evening so that you can experience a beach grill on the Round Hill Way. Red laundry tables, bright candles, Tiki torches and the soft sand feel between your toes while enjoying a complete buffet with a steak, as well as a taco bar and freshly grilled lobster tails.
Dinner is always a silver service matter with menus that change from Wagyu steak to Curry goat every day with coconut rice and peas. Save space to try the homemade Scotch Motornet ice cream. The combination of hot pepper and cold sweet vanilla ice cream is sensational. To get the best for your money, we recommend the All American meal schedule of £ 178 per day per person. Without alcoholic drinks.
