The location of the property is breathtaking and the food is good. Overall the staff and service is fair. the front desk staff needs improvement in communication about the checking and checking out process. However, the restaurant staff was courteous and helpful. Especially, Roxine who went above and beyond.

It is a good property. Getting around maybe a hassle. I can’t say the food is great. But the villas are the best thing to take if you go there.

Wonderful hotel in Jamaica's Blue Mountains
Very relaxing hotel with fabulous views and very romantic rooms. It is a great getaway for a few days of R & R to a place that seems a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of Kingston. We were doing several hours of work each day and it was a quiet and peaceful place to work on a creative project.

Beautiful
Strawberry hill is as beautiful as you think it will be. Breathtaking. The service is a bit odd and not great with the exception of the property manager Adriana, who is amazing and lovely. The food is fairly expensive and pretty bad. There is a great little restaurant down the mountain a mile or two that is a better bet for meals. The rooms are clean and very comfortable with amazing views. The property is truly stunning and so peaceful. I would go back again in a heartbeat. But be prepared for lackluster service.

Jamaica Mountain Resort
Unlike other Jamaica resorts, this one isn't on the beach. It's on a mountain 3000 ft above Kingston with fantastic views. Super romantic, great food. Weather is consistently mild.

My last stay at strawberry hills
I was dispointed and I demand a refund because it's not worth the money. It's not a high end quality hotel. It rain and water came in and wet up my belongings. The food is mediocre not worth the US dollars they charge and they nickel and dime you for drinks. I was appalled that a cleaning staff member pick up a soap that had being on the show flloor and put it back in the tray unsanitary conditions. The WiFi works when it feels like and I could not get anything down on the internet.

Great place to relax!
My girlfriend and I wanted a getaway that was low key, and would be able to just relax. We found it. Strawberry Hill is exactly that place. Beautiful scenery, relaxing atmosphere with just enough options to keep you occupied if you wanted to. The ENTIRE staff was excellent. Don't be fooled by some reviews that say the drive up was unpleasant. It's not, the roads were excellent. Obviously those reviewers had never traveled in the mountains before. The food was good and priced right for the location. If you need a place to recharge your batteries, and enjoy a low key relaxing atmosphere Strawberry Hill is your place.

Beautiful View But Nothing More
The road leading into the mountains are in terrible condition. I arrived late but could discern the mildew/dirt covered wooden walkways and steps. Several steps were decayed and partially broken. Inside the dimly lit room the screens have holes in them allowing mosquitoes to enter the room. The wooden floors are in bad need of refinishing. No TVs our phone system for outside lines under the auspices of peace and tranquility but in today's world we need to be connected. The shower had enbedded dirt in the shower tile floor. The iron worked well. I could continue but it's not worth the price even if it was half the price. The property is in a great location but is in need of a complete overhaul. The "white" bath robs were dirty and discolored.

Paradise Found
My room had the most spectacular views. I experienced such serenity. I could only stay one night. I plan on going back for longer. No TVs in the room or radio. If you are looking for activities this isn't the place. If you want peace, scenic views, clean air, excellent food and five-star service, this is the place. I'm going back.

Amazing views but impersonal hotel
Strawberry Hills is in a stunning location that will take your breath away. The bed is one of the comfiest we've slept in and the pool is spectacular. The food is good but breakfast was rather sugar heavy. When we asked to switch cake (which comes with the standard breakfast included in the room rate) for eggs or a Jamaican breakfast this wasn't possible without paying for a new breakfast in full. We were also celebrating a 30th birthday and got engaged the day before we arrived. We mentioned this to the hotel but received no token of congratulations for this at all. Not even a note! We found this quite astonishing for what is meant to be a five star experience. Overall, Strawberry Hills is wonderful for one night but given the price, we would recommend staying elsewhere after that. There's so much to do in Kingston that it's definitely fun to spend some time down in the action after you've absorbed the views.
