This was my second time to this Hotel and once again they rolled out the red carpet. This time I was treated like family, closer ,every one of the staff remember my face and greeted me with warmer friendly smiles. The view from my room was of the garden and the Blue Mountains it was just awesome. I'm planning on... more

Just want to let anyone traveling to Kingston know this is a great place to stay. Found the staff to be most friendly and all tried to accommodate any need you might have. Came over from another hotel for the Sunday Brunch , checked out the rooms and moved over immediately. Could not have been more pleased with our stay. more

I booked a room in this hotel, beacuse of the Hilton price-quality relationship is not the best of this popular chain...., but I made a terrible mistake..If you want to feel the sensation of live in the hell, this is the best place in the world!!!! The air conditioning of this hotel-aisles and common areas work better than the located... more

My wife and I have stayed in Kingston Jamaica many times. (We lived in Jamaica for a few years in the past.) We were in Kingston for a few weeks and at the recommendation of friends looked at Terra Nova. We had never stayed before, but are absolutely glad we did! The service level from all staff was excellent; almost... more

Thsi is a great hotel that I always stay at when I go to Kingston (over 4 times in the past 24 months). The staff is very polite and helpful, meals are delicious, and the manager is always available should there be any quetsions. The colonial architecture creates a very nice atmosphere the moment one enters into the hotel. I... more

If you are in Kingston then in all likelihood you are in Jamaica on business - the nearest beach is over 70 miles away. The Terra Nova is by far the best hotel to stay in Kingston. The rooms are excellent and the food was good. As it is to be expected it is not cheap... It is truly an... more

The Terra Nova is built around a 1920s era house, formerly the home of one of Jamaica's leading business families. It has expanded somewhat to include a casino, but it retains almost all of its original charm. Location: The Terra Nova is located slightly farther from the New Kingston business district than other hotels, but is nonetheless convenient (and quieter).... more

This is the first time I felt the need to write a review. I read the previous reviews and was a bit nervous about some of the negative comments. I took the gamble anyway and booked the hotel....I WON!! We are from Jamaica and wanted to get a "home" feel from our accomodations. Terra Nova was just what we wanted;... more

I was not disappointed. Upon arrival I was upgraded to the royal suite.... this hotel rivals any of the 5 stars I have stayed. Actually, the service was better than EVERY five star that I have stayed over the years. Room service was rapid....I ordered the "appetizer" lobster salad... well what I got was a full meal--- a plate full... more
