Great stay at great huts! The staff was amazing, food delicious, and private access to Boston beach perfect - with natural pools to watch the waves crash. I strongly recommend this resort to those who want to experience nature and are not afraid to sleep semi-outside - notwithstanding all the amenities!

Great Huts is an experience everyone who visits Portland must have! The hospitality is fantastic, and views from literally anywhere on the property are stunning! We saw a moonrise we'll never forget from the side of a cliff. I highly recommend this to anyone with an appreciation for nature and Jamaica.

What an amazing place! We absolutely loved our long weekend at Great Huts, so much so that we just hung out enjoying the beautiful lush jungle property and adjacent Boston Beach rather than venturing forth to see other sights in the area. This is not for you if you need luxury and a/c, but don’t hesitate if you love nature and being in the great outdoors, quirky artistic hut accommodation, good food and wonderful friendly staff. We especially loved the constant sound of the crashing waves that came with our fabulous Fig Tree hut. Thank you Roberta and everyone else at Great Huts for a truly unique experience.

We spent 3 nights at Great Huts in the Queen of Sheba. We had an amazing experience! From the warm and friendly check in where they provided fresh beetroot, pine and ginger juice, the grounds tour where we learned a lot about the property and Africana House, to the exceptional cleanliness of our huts and the grounds, and lastly the amazing food! We chose to have all of our meals at the resort instead of venturing out to the jerk stalls because the food was just that delicious. What really makes Great Huts shine is the staff! They truly put extra love into everything they do and it really shows. We all felt right at home and like part of the Great Huts family! We will definitely be back and stay longer next time.

This place was beautiful and unique, and exactly what I was looking for to relax with my husband. The staff was incredible- went above and beyond for any need. I miss each and every one of them! The grounds and accommodations were fabulous. Rustic, and back to nature- make sure you have running shoes- this is not a place to wear fancy footwear. Bring your deet if you’re prone to bug bites (like me). I faired pretty well, considering. The food was good too- and the complimentary breakfast starts your day off right. Do your research, be prepared, and you will enjoy the beauty surrounding you. One love.

Had a nice stay. Great concept which was unique and fun. However the site was rundown and needed a lot more maintenance. There was no outside dining so breakfast or lunch was rather dark but evening atmospheric. Very few outside chairs to watch the sun or admire the views. We liked swimming in the bay. We stayed in 2 different huts. Queen Nyabinghi was approached by 10 very steep external stairs not shown in the photos. A great resort if you are after something unusual and off the beaten track. Tasty food. Great breakfasts.

As “hotels” go Great Huts really is unique. Huge site with its own private beach, rocks, hammocks etc. Quirky individual “rooms” of varying shapes & sizes “in the jungle” We stayed in Iqbo in the Africanerhouse. With aircon and effectively a private swimming pool. Super friendly staff. Made to order breakfasts. Nice dining facilities too. Outstanding, totally outstanding, jerk food within walking distance.

Never lived in a treehouse before. It was fun to live in a tree and see that terrific sunrise. The meals tasted good but I expected them too be cheaper. Very helpful staff, they got me a bus to go to Montego Bay and a driver to get me to the bus. There assistance was vital.

I wish we had more time to explore the property. We only stayed a nite and it rained so we didn't get an opportunity to walk down to the beach. The wifi didn't work in the room but it did in dining area. The guesthouse area on rooftop and walkway needs repairs. The view is stunning.

Amazing experience! We went for our anniversary and could not have asked for a better experience. The staff was amazing. They provided a one of a kind memorable experience. They closed their beach front down and provided a four course anniversary dinner for us. We were given a personal driver for our time there. He was also unbelievable. The staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary one that will never forgotten! We will be going back for a longer vacation. Staying in a tree house is highly recommended to everyone who has a sense of adventure?
