All in all a very good stay very close to NMIA and a great alternative to staying in New Kingston or Downtown Kingston. Unfortunately we had two issues with breakfast, one of them was very underwhelming and substandard. We raised the issue with management who dealt with our complaint satisfactorily. I would stay here again and recommend it as a great base to explore Kingston and the Eastern parishes.

Peaceful and clean, helpful and professional staff, beautiful scenery, excellent food. I grew up in that town and love that they employ some locals. I was treated like royalty even by the staff who didn’t know me. I was feeling nostalgic and proud, The hotel is a hidden gem and less than 10 minutes away from the airport and walking distance from the historic Fort Charles, Giddy House, Old Naval Hospital and lots more.

The property is located in a beautiful area along the ocean. However, it is currently under renovation. I stayed there two days and had two issues that affected my stay negatively. Day one the water was off. Day two the electricity was off. The AC unit in my room needs servicing or replacing. The compressor unit on the porch was very noisy and it was not cooling the room.
