What a wonderful resort! Being there in person and experiencing the location and accommodation exceeded all of our expectations. Just the view alone overlooking the city of Kingston or sunset or the mountains or the grounds and its lush gardens is very memorable and impressive. The staff is wonderful and made sure that all of our needs were met. The restaurant is outstanding and we were a party of seven that truly enjoyed all of our meals. Even though our stay was short we would definitely return and spend more time in having another Strawberry experience.

Amazing retreat in the mountains, with excellent rooms, excellent views, excellent service. Only slight knock would be on amenities, as it is a remote location, on site amenities were all the more important, and while not inadequate for a short stay, the restaurant menu was the same each day and got old by day two for those on a more constrained diet (though the kitchen was fully accommodating with special requests) and other on site facilities would have been nice (the shop barely had enough items to fill a single shelf). Not big in the context of our two day stays given the brilliant service and stunning views. For those driving themselves, be advised the roads up can be very steep and a little precarious. Would certainly book again.

My only hiccup was calling to confirm my reservation on the day before travelling up the hill - the first staff member was unable to confirm my reservation on the first attempt after I provided name but after calling the central office I was called back and informed that I was actually confirmed but was initially told I wasn't due to me saying I booked a suite vs a cottage, providing my name or confirmation number was not sufficient it seems. Upon arrival, everything about the property was excellent - great food, environment and service.

A Hidden Gem with Stunning Views of Kingston

Staying here felt like a dreamy escape into nature. It was as if we were sleeping among the treetops! The lush surroundings and panoramic views over Kingston were absolutely breathtaking. The rooms were full of charm, evoking that classic, old-school Jamaican vibe that made the experience feel authentic and cozy. Service was attentive and warm, and the food? Simply delicious! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay in Jamaica. My photos does not do it justice! Important Note on the Drive to the Property The road leading to the property is quite narrow and can feel a bit intimidating, especially if you’re not an experienced driver. Since the location is high up in the mountains, expect steep climbs, winding hills, and stretches without guardrails. Use caution, take your time, and be prepared for a scenic—but challenging—drive.

The property is gorgeous, staff is very friendly and amenities are top tier. The only reason I didn’t rate 5 is due to the experience I had with the transfer service offered by the hotel. Not only was the driver very fast going up hill and no where in communications with the hotel was the cost of the transfer mentioned. Go for the spa & restaurant but arrange your own transportation.

A real treat.

Strawberry Hill is just the most fantastic location with spectacular views and a really relaxed vibe. The hotel itself is a little tired now and whilst couldn’t really be called luxurious in today’s world has a unique and impressive back story. Top marks here should go to the gardeners for their quite stunning work, the chef and cooking staff who made a pretty good effort and housekeeping who always made our room up very nicely each day. It’s a little pricey in the bar and the wine is dreadfully expensive. Pool was very well maintained and a lovely place to just drift off in the afternoon.

My stay at SBH

Strawberry Hill has long been on my list of must-visit destinations, and my recent visit there exceeded all my expectations. The mountain view was absolutely stunning. I spent the majority of my time on the wraparound veranda, savoring the beautiful scenery and the peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated, making for a truly delightful experience. Strawberry Hill is now on my list of favorite places to visit. I will be back!
