ROUND HILL JAMAICA

Vacation preparations should include a careful research on the best places to stay at. Even if Jamaica boasts of many awesome sights to visit, a large part of your trip would be spent in the hotel or resort that you booked yourself into. Your choice can either make or break your entire vacation.

Round Hill Jamaica first opened in 1953 and was conceptualized by John Pringle, a famous Jamaican businessman and daughter of the owner of the former Sunset Lodge Hotel in Montego Bay. Round Hill Jamaica’s 100-acre of land is actually a portion of Lord Monson’s Round Hill Estate, a sugar plantation which was converted to produce coconuts and pimento even up to this date.

Popular American and European elitists were invited to put up cottages on the 29 acres of land. These people were considered as shareholders as they invested in the hotel. The original structure of the Round Hill Jamaica was a design of William Ballard and was decorated by Guy Roop.

Today, Round Hill Jamaica still operates in the same manner. The 29 villas are owned by the shareholders. This means that in the absence of the owners, they can have their cottages rented out by tourists. There are individual suites, and two, three, four, or five-bedroom cottages.

A Chairman and Board of Directors, which were all voted from amongst shareholders oversees the interest of Round Hill Jamaica. The Managing Director heads the club’s management.

There are a lot of amenities that Round Hill Jamaica can offer to its guests. It boasts of its double infinity edge pool, a water sports center, a private beach, and a spa pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea. PADI diving, boats for deep-sea fishing, and yachts can be chartered at the Round Hill Jamaica. The club is also proud of its five all-weather courts, two of which are well-lighted for evening play. The club’s spa has a fitness center with basically all equipments present, plus a personal instructor which serves the exercise classes. Round Hill Jamaica has a resort boutique, logo shop, and complimentary shuttle everyday.

Guests look forward to Round Hill Jamaica’s popular theme nights which take place all-year-round. These are Beach Party, Jamaica Night, and Caribbean Curry Night.

A wedding set on the golden-sand beach overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea can be arranged at the Round Hill Jamaica. As with the momentous exchange of “I do’s”, the club is also the perfect getaway place for honeymooners.

Round Hill Jamaica’s casual and relaxed ambiance does not take away the fact that the place screams elegance and luxury. With the large rate of returning guests every year, it is by far the best testimony of Round Hill Jamaica’s service.
