Tensing PEN

We recently stayed at Tensing Pen for a few nights. STAFF All the staff made us feel extremely welcome and were always on hand to help. Big respect and mention to Caleen, Sofia Damien and Razor 🙏🏼 . The life guards Paul, Nickoy were genuinely attentive and also very helpful. FOOD and Drink Food was outstanding and the homemade bread rolls melted in your mouth. We had the complimentary breakfast most mornings which was more than adequate with fresh fruit, banana bread, cereal and outstanding coffee! We had poached eggs one morning and again we can’t fault the food quality. Coffee was available at the restaurant 24/7 but we did miss being able to make a coffee in our room. Loved, LOVED the reggae music all day in the restaurant!!!! ACTIVITIES Unfortunately, the weather was quite choppy when we were there so didn’t get to snorkel as we had hoped. However, we thoroughly enjoyed watching the catamarans as they passed by on their way to Ricks. ROOM We stayed in Rock Cottage 2 which had a great view and a beautiful verandah to enjoy the peace and quiet. The bed was very comfortable, AC great and a fridge to put chilled drinks in. Bathroom was more than adequate however the shower was a little fiddly to turn on with an adequate water pressure-. Towels were changed every day. Again it would have been nice to have water and coffee nearer to hand. We did struggle with the sun loungers and found them very uncomfortable after 30mins. Even though I’m allergic to dogs, the dogs are extremely well behaved and only approach if you encourage them. SUMMARY So why only 4/5 ? It did meet our expectations but didn’t exceed them, this is a great place for being private and embracing your surroundings; we enjoyed visiting the local bars nearby but probably could have done more .. the view from our cottage was very hypnotic, but the quietness just wasn’t our vibe. We are so blessed and glad we got to experience this amazing place, it was our first on the cliffs and we look forward to returning to the bar and the restaurant which are definitely a 5/5 for us!

Just spent 5 days at this small but wonderful resort for a wedding. This place is amazing with beautiful views, natural surroundings, and great accommodations. Every single person from the staff, the office, restaurant, bar, lifeguards, gardeners, room service, is very friendly and makes you feel very welcome. The food was delicious and the accommodations are very spacious. Could not have been better!!

Anniversary dinner at The Lodge. Exceptional food, atmosphere, and great service from Sophia and Daimon! The views are spectacular. On our future trips to Jamaica I will be sure to stay at this location.
