I discovered River Lodge last year, and went back there recently. After nearly 20 years of traveling around Jamaica I have seen a lot of astonishing places, radiating the right kind of energy. River Lodge is definitely one of them. The place, an old fort, has a magical spell about it, nature is impressive and abundant and the people of... More

Do not go there, it is horrible! We've been there with my girlfriend, and it was a terrible nightmare! We had no water at all, and nobody to help us to fix this. The day after, a guy comes to see how was the night, and when we said we had no water, he was rude and mean with us.... More

I was at River Lodge for one week April 2011 for a yoga retreat. Our group filled the lodge and even though we didn't know each other in the beginning we soon became a 'jungle family'. Yoga twice a day on the beautiful deck in the jungle was wonderful. The accommodations are very rustic and basic and if you come... More

River Lodge. Well what can I say. Myself and partner ventured there after a comprehensive search via the internet of the "Real Jamaica". Rest ,meditation on music and peaceful vibes is what we required.We were lured by the Rasta community at which this is located.

An old Spanish fort located in a beautiful, rustic, peaceful rasta village on natural unspoiled coast. Locals are very friendly. Highly recommended for people who are not high maintenance and down to earth. More

River Lodge is located in Robin's Bay, about 1 hour 30 min from Ocho Rios or Port Antonio. It is a really lovely place, with a nice, friendly atmosphere. Brigitta runs the show very well. It's very cheap, but bear in mind that it is a remote place, so if you don't have a car, you might want to hire... More
