Goblin Hill Villas is a spectacular property, with a perfect balance between lush greenery and amazing ocean views. Our villa was spacious, clean, and comfortable with a great retro vibe. We loved watching the waves roll into San San beach, sunrise and sunset, and floating in the pool surrounded by palms and flowers. The bird life is active and varied: one evening we even had a visit from a Jamaican Owl. The staff are professional and friendly, exceptionally helpful, and the food is fantastic. We love Jamaican food in general and theirs is so fresh and flavourful. Blue Lagoon, San San Beach and Frenchman’s Cove are all an easy walk from the villas and wonderful places to enjoy swimming and nature.
The location and the grounds are beautiful. The garden area with a view of the island and san san beach is gorgeous. The staff are very friendly and helpful, there weren't many guests there as its more off season when we went. The breakfast is delicious and the driver contact they gave us was great and took us everywhere we needed to go whenever we needed. The villas are spacious and have everything you need. If you want to stay somewhere more in the heart of Jamaica I would highly recommend staying here.
On arrival to the villas at 23.50 at nightvwe gasped with delight entering a rain forest with the crickets vocaling and the views on entry to the villas was outstanding as descrobed in other reviews unfortunately by the next morning we were becoming unsure why the menu demonstrated in the hotel booklet was un existent and things like the back sliding doors was not closing which led to lack of sleep and anxiety. And being told that it would be fixed on everyday basis and nothong done until our laat night.
Beautiful tropical grounds really well cared for, lovely poolin great surroundings. Villa was clean and comfortable but needed a little TLC as jaded at the edges. Staff all very welcoming and friendly. Meals on the Hummingbird Terrace were tasty in lovely surroundings
Excellent property reminiscent of the old jamaica. If brand new items are your thing – this may not be your place. However, if you like a more graceful surrounding, it is simply beautiful.

Beautiful Views, Broken Amenities!
I’ve visited Goblin Hill years ago and have such fond memories of the experience, so I was excited to return. The property still has its signature charm and breathtaking views, which are truly one of a kind. However, I was a bit disappointed this time around, especially considering the price we paid.
Unfortunately, several key amenities were not in working order. The pool was closed, and the tennis courts seemed to be in disrepair. It would have been helpful to know this in advance, as it did affect the overall experience. Given that Goblin Hill is not a beachfront property, these amenities are important to guests and should be maintained—or the pricing adjusted accordingly while they’re unavailable.
The grounds and buildings retain their vintage character, which I really appreciate, but some basic upkeep is definitely needed. The balcony awnings could use cleaning, and a fresh coat of paint here and there would go a long way in keeping the place feeling inviting and well-cared for.
That said, the staff made all the difference.
• Pamela, our cook, was outstanding—so kind, polite, and her cooking was amazing.
• Devon, the security guard, went above and beyond, even helping us get fresh snapper for dinner.
• AJ at the front desk was also very professional and welcoming.
Overall, the warm hospitality and spectacular views are the highlights of Goblin Hill. Hiwever, a heads-up or price adjustment would go a long way in managing expectations.
Stunning view and incredibly calm grounds. Great amenities. We played tennis and the pool was well maintained. Convenient location near two key beaches.
I loved the peace and calm, the friendly staff, the views, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the access to the tennis courts, pool and beaches. I will definitely recommend it to friends and hope to come back soon. Thank you!
Beautiful peaceful surrounding in an ideal location to view the beaches close by. Frenchman Cove being my favourite. Goblin Hill is private and serene for a couple or family reunion. Food from their restaurant is delicious,especially the pumpkin soup. It was easy to get around via the local taxis. All the staff were very kind and helpful. The stairs to the beach is very tricky to use so use the main road.
The property lies on top of a point overlooking the sea. The views are amazing. It is a few km away from top level attractions: Frenchman's Cove, Blue Lagoon, Boston Beach, Winifred Beach, etc. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
This is a unique and beautiful paradise. The price is very reasonable for an entire villa. The AC is only upstairs but that didn’t bother us bc we were only in the villa to sleep. We cherished our time here and will be back.
Goblin Hill is a time capsule in the best way possible. We’ve stayed here 4 or 5 times over the past 20yrs. It’s not a “vibe” but rather the real thing. It is and has always been a lush, low key, preserved tranquil oasis that can’t be matched.
