Great Huts

My husband and I always travel to Jamaica for Christmas and stay 3 weeks. This trip we wanted to begin with a more quiet start. Great Huts did not disappoint! Everything about this intimate resort is top notch. The rooms are amazing, 2 pools, a wonderful beach and an amazing staff. They all go way beyond to meet any need/desire you may have. The entire staff is truly friendly and warm, not just for the tourists-they are "real". The authentic Jamaican cuisine had us eating every meal there. There is so much to see and do, or just relax on one of the many hammocks. It is by far my BEST experience staying in Jamaica . The rooms/huts are very safe each uniquely and beautifully decorated . We woke to the sound of the ocean every morning. We will be back!

This was my second Great Huts experience. I knew it would be hard to beat the first one, which had Kingston Dub Club making the Saturday night at Great Huts even more magical. Yes, there wasn't Kingston Dub Club this time 'round, but Great Huts in 2024, was just as healing and rejuvenating in November 2020. As I write, I miss, the hammocks under the Almond tree by the gorgeous Boston Beach--bewitchingly relaxing. Chilling there on the hammock, taking in the view, the surfers soaking up the sea and waves and the 'beachers', just enjoying Boston Bay -priceless. Last time, my daughter and I stayed in the alluring Fig Tree, this time we tried the Queen of Sheba and yes, the artwork, including none other than a Gene Pearson sculpture, was royal, and drew oohs and ahhs. I think I also saw a Nakazzi Hutchinson, I love her work. This trip was to be four of us, it was three and we enjoyed the Snake Trail ( no snakes, names after its winding formation) which overlooked the Beautiful Boston Bay and allowed the Great Huts Portland Sunday to whisper in our ears, on that swing chair, overlooking the cliff. We toured the property my daughter and I missed, said hi again to Africana House and relived that Saturday night with the moon kissing the sea, Dub Club and those inspired dancers. We had ackee and saltfish and steam vegetable breakfast, good coffee and discussions with Roberta and the chef, Christopher, whom we really didn't want to leave. Yes, we found friends at Great Huts. I'll remember sitting on a stool in the kitchen, chatting coffee, music and stuff with Christopher, the Chef. I'll also never forget meeting Marcus Garvey, the poet, in one of the books we took down from the book shelf below the Safari Deck, in the kitchen. How could I even forget Dwayne, the grounds man, what a gentleman. Mr. White thank you for waiting up for us Saturday evening. And Roberta, do I need to apologise for my friend's corny jokes about not giving you any Flack? Details are really important, so yes, thank you Great Huts for paying attention to even the music you played on the Safari deck, it really gave me that cool dub reggae vibe. I do miss the animals ( parrots and turtle) , though and heard they are in the zoo now wiht more friends. BTW, there are still hermit crabs and winged ones, like the one in the pic, my daughter took, if you look close enough. Ann-Margaret Lim

We loved the Eco experience in our Hut by the sea. The food was delicious and service was impeccable. The staff was friendly and helpful and we loved the area! We loved the suggestions for tours and experiences to enjoy the area. We touched the surface in 4 days. We will definitely be back!
