Total luxury and warm hospitality

Date of Stay: 12/27/11 Review Submitted: 02/05/12

Yes, the grounds are gorgeous and you feel in the lap of luxury at Highland House. But it is the staff that makes a stay here a transformative experience. Attention to detail, warmth, professionalism, and service that cannot be compared to any hotel or vacation I have enjoyed.

An Enchanting Experience

Guest: Elizabeth (-)
Date of Stay: 01/10/10 Review Submitted: 02/05/12

Beyond excellent food. Friendly, amiable staff, helpful and knowledgeable staff- wonderful people. Stunning views, refreshing open-air atmosphere, breathtakingly beautiful grounds and gardens. Highland House provides opportunity to experience the "real" Jamaica- outside all-inclusive resorts and hotels. The home's history only adds to the one-of-a-kind experience. Getting to know the people of Jamaica, day trips to Negril, the cliffs, and other other adventures will never be forgotten. Jamaica is a beautiful country filled gentle, kind-spririted, vibrant people. The rugged natural beauty of the country is unmatched. Elizabeth Beeler, Coastal Living magazine

60 guest Wedding at Highland House

Guest: Charlotte (-)
Date of Stay: 11/04/11 Review Submitted: 01/05/12

I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know what an amazing time we had at the villa. The wedding was perfect and the location blew away our guests. Many of them had not been off the resort and they saw a whole other side of Jamaica that day. The Highland House will forever hold a very special place in hearts and we hope to return one day for an extended stay. I will literally never forget it....I get weepy just thinking about how it's all over now. It deserves to be mentioned that your staff are amazing. I'm not sure Ernest and Dwayne will soon forget the crazy Canadian girls they met the night of Nov. 6th:) My maid of honour was on fire that night and it was an on-going joke that she was going to marry Dwayne too! They said they hadn't laughed that much in a long time.....we definitely had fun. But, they worked so hard on the grounds and the set up (moving furniture etc) and were always there for anything you needed. My mother asked for some fresh leaves and flowers to tie around a couple pillars (she was decor queen) and Ernest went out and outdid himself. It was just amazing how accommodating they were and I'm not sure they know the word 'No.' :)) Ken and I couldn't be more happy with how everything turned out and I can't wait to write a glowing review on Trip Advisor.

Just returned from a wonderful week at Highland House (late February 2011) and was happy to escape the cold and snow that we have had this winter. What a wonderful and welcome transformation. We considered most of the local villas but chose Highland House as what we thought was the best value and I think we make the right choice. When you divide the cost by five or six couples, you can’t beat the price. We had enough in our budget to also arrange for a van and driver who took us anywhere we wanted to go. We were greeted by our driver at the airport and fifteen minutes later we were at Highland House picking out our bedrooms and changing into casual clothes and swim wear for a dip in the pool before lunch was served. The site was amazing with beautiful gardens around the villa and extraordinary views of Montego Bay. All the accommodations were clean and comfortable. Only the sixth bedroom was small, but still had its own private bath. We had our choice of many sitting areas for reading, chatting, or enjoying cold drinks served to us poolside. You can see the photos on this web site – we were not disappointed. The staff was terrific, constantly cleaning up after us, making our beds, doing our laundry and most of all, preparing delicious meals for us. They were always accommodative of our requests for an early or late meal and were willing to cook anything we wished, although we asked them to choose our meals for us so we could sample the island delicacies of fish, chicken, and pork. Save room for the deserts – they are incredible!

Thank you so much for the hospitality extended to us during our stay at Highland House. We had a wonderful time. The villa is gorgeous and very comfortable. Your staff is excellent. The villa modifications you have completed are really beautiful and functional. -Villa staff is professional and competent. Meals were delicious. We liked that some of the vegetables were coming from the villa gardens and organic. -The grounds were well kept and looked beautiful. I loved wondering around in the morning while it was still cool.

We had a great time. A couple highlights: Ernest did some dare-devil stuff when he climbed up a coconut tree. We were terrified but somehow he survived and we enjoyed the coconuts.The food was superb in house. The dinner at the restaurant was fun, too. It inspired me to steam some red snappers here in Boston, which worked out better than expected. Round Hill is a great place—friendly, not too big, nice beach. We never made it to Tryall b/c we settled into to Round Hill. The evenings on the patio were perfect. Thanks for everything. We’ll be back! Regards, Jason
