The staff was very professional, pleasant and helpful. The property was beautiful and quiet. I enjoyed the food. The overall experience was amazing and i would stay again. All the staff were amazing from the reception staff, waiter, waitress, cleaning lady and ground staff. We didn't like that no fridge in the room.

This was my 4th visit and sadly my last. The property looks more run down, the receptionist was the definition of deadpan - she could care less. The room was not very clean and the beds were hard. Also there was no hot water. The only plus was the Chef and the breakfast. I wouldn't be surprised if this hotel shut down in a few years.

We enjoyed our stay, the staff are very friendly and helpful. We loved the aircon, great help. The only thing i would suggest is each room should have as standard a mini fridge as it is a hot place, a room bin and a kettle.

Gorgeous property! We stayed in Ackee House. Room was spacious and kitchenette was nice to have. Only issues with the room was the fact there was no ceiling fan or other fan and moat of the windows did bot have screens on them - was issue for me as my skin takes serious issue with bug bites. And my partner and I each got a few. There is AC but we only used at night. Some noise from nearby construction but nothing that compromised my sleep. My partner will add you should ask what 'market price' is before ordering - he was not expecting to pay 3500J for steamed fish - thoughhe raved about it. The daily breakfasts were authentic and delicious. We loved ginger cat. All staff were great. Did not take advantage of any spa services but would do so next time (priced what one would expect in US - to be able to have a service and stroll back to your room nearby for a nap wouldve pure bliss!). There is nothing nearby but we had a car (required) to get around - the roads of Port Antonio are horrendus so be prepared.

Warning! Worse stay Ever in Life
I have nothing good to say for place-other than surrounded by lush vegetation. The bed was hard & very uncomfortable-worse yet. The shower & hot water didn’t work, after supposedly sending a plumber. The facility is in dire need of updating. There were people who chose to leave after first night. Not to mention we paid $180 per night-just total loss !!!!!!

This resort had the most beautiful grounds with plantings I didn't see anywhere else. I did not visit the spa on the grounds. I enjoyed the free breakfasts and I also ate most meals in their restaurant. My room was comfortable with quiet air conditioning and good wi-fi, though I used the table outside my room for my laptop most of the time.

I love the appearance of this place and the kitchen staff for breakfast was amazing. The main issue I had was that the internet in palm tree villa was out and they still had me stay there and when I enquired, they main no effort to do anything about it saying it went out when the storm had passed. However, everywhere else was working. I travelled from overseas and couldn’t get anything done unless I left my room to get WiFi. Oh well next time I’ll do better.

Falls Short but "Stayable!"
The bathrooms both in the guestrooms and in shared /common spaces are in desperate need of renovation. The hotel has so much potential. It falls short on being a hidden gem. I look forward to them doing some much needed work as the location and price is ideal fora quick budget friendly getaway

THEN I was satisfied...spacious clean n comfy.

Property has so much potential, but we were disappointed in the condition. Pool area, adjacent to the restaurant, was under construction and we didn’t know until after checking in. They were pouring concrete during our breakfast. I think that could have been done during a less peak time of the day. Bathroom door didn’t fit the doorway and kept getting stuck before closing. The toilet ran through the night and it was quite loud. There were not enough lightbulbs throughout the hallways and the maintenance person just took one bulb from another part of the hallway to light the area in front of one of our rooms. However, I will say, it was a wonderful location overlooking the harbour and close to restaurants, water activities and attractions. The breakfast was a delicious Jamaican breakfast and better than the tourist food that some places try to pass off to you. They even accommodated for my vegan palate. The chef was very sweet for remembering. The reception allowed us to switch rooms to have our party of 7 closer together, which was really nice. Overall, it was an ok stay for a night and the price, but upgrades are desperately needed for this property with so much potential.
