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.

Stayed at Round Hill in the room with the louvered windows overlooking the pool and beach area. Loved the room. They have theme nights for their dining and on Monday night we ate, buffet style, on the beach. This is one of the best buffets I have had. They had a varied choice of food and the drinks were wonderful. Loved their infinity pool and spent the day going between the pool and the beach. Also tried their spa which was very good. Wish I had more time to spend. Read less

As I went to write my review about our 10 day stay at the end of June I caught myself reading the three star review just left by discerning08. I would agree that all the criticisms are fair and accurate. That these are good things to know before you decide to come to Round Hill but if they do dissuade you from coming it would be unfortunate. Round Hill is a special place There is this intangible quality that is hard to describe. That is maybe why the wait at the restaurant or the "cozy" beach or even somehow the airplane noise are part of the charm. We are a family of five 17, 11 and 11. Third trip to Round Hill all at the same Cottage. We kind of rotate between Curtain Bluff, Half moon and Round Hill. All three are great. Curtain Bluff has that more chilled vibe like Round Hill. Like I said Round Hill has an intangible, hard to describe quality. It's not slick, it's not flashy but there is this understated elegance in the most relaxed way. That's why you may find yourself looking up at the airplanes with a big smile. Read less
