Round Hill Hotel &
Luxury Villas
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.
