“Heavenly retreat”
Round Hill is a resort of legend, and for very good reason. My first visit to this elegant property exceeded my very high expectations. The accommodations in the main building were lovely, and the villas were completely amazing (the staff happily accommodated my request to view several in order to plan my next visit with a larger party). Dining was a pleasure -- the food was fresh and absolutely delicious, and the dining areas (overlooking the sea) are beautifully appointed. The staff is quite obviously well-trained as they are cheerful, helpful and attentive (without being intrusive), and efficient. I indulged in a Spa treatment and was very pleased with the service there as well. I can't wait to go back and will take the family with me next time!!!
“Will definately re-visit”
The service was wonderful - I have actually never had better service. Everyone was very pleasant and treated us with respect as well as went out of their way to assist. I do suggest getting a Villa and the all inclusive plan.
“Amazing Vacation”
Incredible hotel with impeccable service. From the minute you walk in everyone knows who you are, remembers your preferences and provide unbelieveable service. We stayed in the Pineapple House with our 9 month old. The room was fantastic and just big enough for our little family. There were a lot of families at the resort, which was perfect for us, but I wonder how some of the couples felt or if this is normal. We used the all-inclusive option - and the food was excellent. We were reluctant to use the nanny service, simply because we were nervous. We ended up using the service on the last day and it was *Amazing*. In retrospect we should have used for a few hours each day. The other guests were all friendly and great to meet. *Incredible Vacation*. We will be going back.
“Truly Paradise, Truly Five Star”
Writing a review about Round Hill is like being asked to list all the reasons you want to go to heaven; it would have no beginning and surely no end. My wife and I have traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean and came upon this Paradise through reference from a friend. From the moment we arrived and received an Academy Award Introduction to Round Hill from Kingsley, the Bell Captain, to the lush and tropical grounds and our Villa that included a swimming pool, a magnificent dining room and living room that looked over the turquoise sea, we knew we had come home. Each morning one can expect exceptional staff to prepare a breakfast cooked in your own kitchen, at the time of your choice. The management of this hotel is headed by a very devoted Austrian who, from the moment you are introduced, makes you aware of his love and passion for this Resort. If you are looking for a place of solitude amongst splendor and glamour and able to dream about the many famous and infamous who have been residents of this resort, and willing to participate in the elegant environment, enjoy food that is prepared in a five star tradition, watch the sun go down and know you are truly at home, then Round Hill is your destination and your dream and, as an added bonus, you will not have to write a review of Heaven as you have been there.
“This is the same hotel where 'How Stella got her groove' was filmed”
The hotel was amazing, food was average but otherwise everything else was good. Its a little quiet, and entertainment is relaxing.
“Round Hill is great!”
Round Hill is a beautiful property. Rooms are very clean. Grounds are incredible. The people are very friendly. I felt very safe there. We will definitely return to Round Hill.
“Wonderful”
Our stay at Round Hill Hotel was Wonderful! The people were extremely nice. The room was more than I expected. I would recommend this hotel to everyone I know and when we revisit Jamaica the Round Hill is where we will stay again and again.
“Excellent”
Lovely holiday. Hotel excellent. Staff friendly but not intrusive. Food very good. Service excellent. Rooms very comfortable. Child friendly. On site Children's Club - staff very well trained. Areas of hotel child free so not overun. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Only problem too many mosquitos - but hotel boutique has all you could need to survive.
“One of the best we've stayed in”
The hotel and staff were absolutely fantastic and couldn't do enough for us.The quality and range of food and wines was also excellent.Can recommend the boat charter to Negril and swimming with dolphins.We would definitely return-hopefully soon!
“Beautiful hotel, wonderful service, very serene location”
Wow! This place is a gem. Located on an isolated section of beachfront, but just 20 minutes from the airport, there is privacy gallore at Round Hill. The rooms in the Pineapple House are decorated by Ralph Lauren - all white with pops of blue - and all ocean view. Our very comfortable and beautiful room even had a little private balcony overlooking the ocean. The beach is small, but there are plenty of chairs, and plenty of shade from trees or full-on sun nearer the ocean. The service here is Impeccable. The grounds are simply gorgeous, with flowering plants and tropical foliage everywhere. The infinity pool is breathtaking but small. The food is good, and not more expensive than other fine dining options in the Caribbean. Plus, you are served either on the beach (for the Beach BBQ on Mondays) or on the terrace overlooking the ocean. Gorgeous! This is a VERY quiet resort (no nightlife, just one bar in the restaurant and one at the beach) - so if you are coming to Jamaica for a big party this place is NOT for you. If you are coming to relax in a lovely location surrounded by beauty, don't hesitate to book Round Hill!
