Round Hill Hotel and Villas in Montego Bay, open JanuaryApril.

Built in 1956 as a private residence for John Pringle, Round Hill evolved into one of Jamaica's most celebrated luxury properties, welcoming guests to its hillside perch overlooking Montego Bay.

The hotel underwent significant restoration while preserving its mid-century architectural integrity, featuring 36 suites and villas set across 98 acres of manicured grounds.

Today it operates as an all-inclusive resort destination offering sophisticated event spaces with panoramic Caribbean vistas.

The villas are elegant and comfortable, the grounds are beautifully maintained, and the staff were warm and attentive. Loved the serene beachfront and peaceful atmosphere—perfect for unwinding and enjoying every moment.
