The hotel

Undoubtedly one of the most sought after hotels in the Caribbean, Round Hill has been a long-standing Jamaican icon since its opening in 1953. A former pineapple plantation on the outskirts of Montego Bay, what is it about Round Hill that makes it such a magnet? Round Hill is where Jacqueline and JFK spent their honeymoon, where Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote the Sound of Music, where Hitchcock got sunburned and where Noel Coward, if egged on enough, would sing for the guests. After 50 years, Round Hill has a million stories to tell. Today, this elegant beachfront resort offers the same blend of qualities that has always pulled the famous names and faces; namely a well-preserved slice of old Jamaica and tremendous hospitality. You still enjoy the plantation’s stylish architecture and a predictably colonial pace of life, but with the added pull of an oceanfront spa, an exceptional family program and refurbished hotel rooms designed for beach living by Ralph Lauren, (perhaps whilst visiting his own villa at Round Hill). The ocean side restaurant perfectly blends the hotel’s historic pedigree with its new energy, classic décor with an open kitchen and wood-fired grill.

I spent last weekend at Round Hill Hotel and Villas (Villa 22a) and from the security post I started to receive excellent customer service! I was most impressed with the COVID protocols that were in place to make guest feel safe. Upon entering the villa, I felt like it was heaven! Absolutely love the white decor and the very contemporary furnishings. The villa was spot clean. We had an eventful weekend planned and felt so at home; we decided to stay at the resort. We enjoyed the water sports activities and the amazing service team. We loved the breakfast options, and how pleasant and homely the staff were. They took pride in serving and always had a smile. I can't wait to visit again. Officially, one of my fave hotels! Thanks so much Team Round Hill Hotel and Villas Rayharna Read less

With so much going on in the world, this was the escape we needed to hit the reset button in paradise. The staff at Villa 11 took well care of us during the day, as well as a personal chef at night ❣️🇯🇲

The room was lovely, but expensive. The bed was good and hard (the way we like it!!) Facilities were great. Loved the Har-True tennis courts. Dining was lovely as well and we especially appreciated that we could choose amongst the various bars or dining areas for lunch.
