Round Hill

Round Hill Hotel & Luxury Villas

Welcome to Round Hill
Like a cashmere sweater, Round Hill Villa Resort is exquisite to experience but not the least bit showy. The resort, a former 100 acre pineapple, allspice and coconut plantation, subscribes to the old moneyed attitude of why flaunt what you have always had? So even in the finest villas there are brass lanterns instead of crystal chandeliers and checkerboard tiles, not marble floors. Wake up to the aroma of your private cook preparing Blue Mountain coffee and a traditional Jamaican breakfast ... laze away the day on the private beach ... indulge in a massage in your own villa ... the choice to enjoy facilities and services is yours. With oceanfront hotel rooms located on the bay and villa suites in privately owned cottages nestled on the hillside, you can be sure we have the right type of accommodation for your needs.

Round Hill, the Caribbean's first great resort is a canvas of pastel tropical flowers and graceful colonial architecture framed by lush Jamaican countryside and crystal clear beckoning sea. 

Perched on a lush, green peninsula, the property cascades past stately palms and tropical gardens down to its own pristine crescent beach.  

Personalized service is assured by a staff of 220, most with many years of loyal service at Round Hill. The city of Montego Bay and Sangsters International Airport is 12 kilometers or 25 minutes drive east of the resort.

Guests can choose from the Pineapple House Hotel with 36 superior and deluxe rooms overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Round Hill's seaside fresh water pool, or one of the 27 private villas dotted over the hillsides.

Amenities:
Fresh water pool at the edge of the Caribbean Sea for use by all guests; private beach offering a fully equipped watersports center with some complimentary services. PADI diving, deep-sea fishing boats and yachts are available for charter. Round Hill also boasts five all-weather courts 
(2 lit for evening play) for complimentary tennis. Our resident pro is always delighted to arrange tournaments, Round Robins, etc. A fitness center equipped with treadmills, step master, rowing boat, bicycle, and free weights and personal instructor for exercise classes. Jogging and walking path, nature walk weekly. Golf can be arranged at the championship course just a few minutes away, with complimentary transportation. Duty free shop, gift shop, art gallery and "Pineapple" logo shop on property; twice daily complimentary shuttle for shopping.

One main restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner on the seaside terrace, upper terrace or Georgian Room. For those who wish more dining options, we offer a "DINE AROUND" program with four restaurants in Montego Bay - "Marguerites", "Town House", "Bellfield 1794" and "Day-O-Plantation".

All restaurants offer shuttle service and are approved by Round Hill! Our cocktail bar also serves afternoon tea daily, complimentary for all our guests.
Ambiance:
Days at Round Hill are casual and informal with the emphasis on enjoying Jamaica and Round Hill and the richness both have to offer. Evenings, though not formal, are decidedly elegant and graceful.

Our guests who return year after year are our greatest testimony. Round Hill is perfect for a romantic retreat, a family vacation or that business meeting that simply must be a discreet success. Let us spoil you with our personalized service and attention to detail, and experience why Round Hill is one of the few remaining private deluxe resorts in the Caribbean.
