I stayed at Emerald View and really enjoyed the room and view, and the friendliness of the staff (all apart from Richard). However please bear in mind you are in the Caribbean...and time is not of the essence such as in fast-paced cultures such as Europe or the USA. You will get used to it though. Breakfast was nice...although they... More

Our 1st trip to Jamaica and we considered this B&B to be a highlight of our vacation. Such a relaxing area that had a fantastic view to the sea and countryside below. Away from the noise and hectic life of many of the large all-inclusive facilities, we were treated more like family visiting then tourists. The shuttle service was an... More

It was a BEAUTIFUL view!!!! The people were amazing and it was a very private and peaceful experience. I am not sure that it's the best place to stay if you are a first timer to Jamaica. It's not in the city and it can be a bit pricey to get around. The rooms had great views (I think I... More

This was the quintessential cultural community experience! I enjoyed the hospitality and picturesque views emensely! A special thanks to Nadia, for allowing me to tag along on shopping trips and briefing me on Jamaican history and culture. I appreciate the warmth of Jennifer and staff, and I will return soon! More

Perfect week of relaxation!! Yes it was off the beaten track but that's exactly what we wanted in Jamaica. Breathtaking view from the top of the hill!!! If you were buying a house you'd pay more than a million dollars for that view alone. Jennifer and all the staff were great hosts catering to all our needs. Location was close... More
