Surrey County, Jamaica hotel rooms at the Independent

"The staff, the room, the food and the grounds were excellent. I can't wait to return."

"Excellent customer service "

"Really enjoy stay- scene and hospitality. Definitely a redo. Close to nice excursions "

"Parking area could be better and the slope needs to be fixed because our vehicle was low and something fell off "

"Great scenery and powerful vibes. The staff was very helpful and supportive."

"The view from the property overlooking the sea was beautiful and phenomenal. The room space was sufficient and clean. What I didn’t like was the fact that to get there, the drive up to the house was very steep and if you don’t know how to handle the drive, it’s problematic. The second thing I didn’t like was that while the property boasted about having a pool, it was only when me and my family arrived we were informed that the pool wasn’t working due to not filtering properly. It would have been nice to know this beforehand to plan our entertainment properly. Up in the hills is very dark and the first night for us was a bit scary because there was no outside lights initially turned on, it was only after we contacted the owner that lights were turned on, which made me feel a lot safer. Thirdly, I understand the owner lives there and that’s fine, what I didn’t like was the fact that the clothes line was in almost direct view outside my door. It felt a little tacky to see clothing, including undergarments hanging there. While I do love the view from the property, I honestly wouldn’t stay there again. "

"The owners were attentive to our needs and provided us with authentic Jamaican meals, referrals to local sights, and history and current events of Jamaica. We felt like we were visiting relatives."

"To stay in this traditional boardhouse evoked memories of childhood growing up in Jamaica. Jay’s team of people couldn’t have been more pleasant and went out of their way to look after us. A short but very sweet visit to the Blue Mountains!"
