WOW! I visited with my aunt and my mother who has not been to Jamaica in 20 years. What a welcome back it was - the hotel has been renovated and is even more beautiful, the 400_+ acres property is splendid for walks, bike rides and sporting activities - the best part was the staff! Breakfast was the favorite part of the day - the chef and servers were welcoming, warm and professional. Excellent stay! One of the best for us.
