After we FINALLY made it out of the Montego airport, we went to the Expedia desk and they gave us our prepaid ticket. WE then went outside and were escorted to the bus taking us to the hotel. We stopped at three different hotels before the Hilton. We had no issues and would take this again.

Rose Hall Great House

The greatest of Jamaican great houses, the Rose Hall Great House has a story with all the elements of an engaging novel. Built in 1770 by John Palmer and his wife, it eventually became the residence of their grandnephew, John Rose Palmer. In 1820, Palmer married Annee, a beautiful but feisty English girl. Little did John know that his young wife possessed “black magic” powers that would eventually lead to his demise. During her reign as mistress of the plantation, Annee did away with two more husbands and countless lovers. “The White Witch of Rose Hall” has fascinated generations, and even today, there are those who claim to see Annee passing through the Great House. A candle-lit evening tour of the Rose Hall Great House is a must for visitors to Montego Bay. Your guided exploration of the former home of Jamaica’s White Witch, Annee Palmer, includes captivating and chilling stories of love, murder and mystery skillfully told by knowledgeable guides. You’re sure to feel goose bumps as these eerie tales come to life in this grand estate, where ghost sightings have been reported over the years. Tours also give historic insight into this grandest of Jamaican great houses, now beautifully restored with 18th-century decor and antiques. To conclude this fascinating adventure, you can visit the dungeon, now transformed into a tavern called Annee’s Pub. Many visitors find that the famous rum cocktail, known as “Witches Brew” helps banish the spirits of ghosts or black magic they sense still lingering in the mansion.

A special thank you to Keith, for setting up the tee times.

Cinnamon Hill Golf Course

Cinnamon Hill's diverse elevations offer a great combination of both links style and inland golf. Feel the cool ocean spray on your cheeks as you play alongside the Caribbean Sea, then hear the wind whistling through the pines as you tee-off on holes 16 and 17, 350 feet above sea-level. On the closing stretch, tight fairways are dotted with treacherous, strategically placed bunkers, inspiring the most competitive player’s best game. This is a test you will enjoy - enchanting panoramas framing your every shot.The Caribbean Sea can be viewed from 17 of the 18 holes and the one hole where it’s absent a majestic waterfall awaits your errant tee shot. The waterfall is the site where they filmed James Bond’s Movie Live and let Die and is only one component of the great history that is on the course. On hole #14 the winter home of country music superstar Johnny and June Cash can be seen from the fairway. As an added enhancement, one of the course’s biggest assets happens to be its expert caddies. Cinnamon Hill caddies are listed among "The Best In The World" by Golfer Magazine. Each caddy is expertly trained and ready to help you improve your game.Come, experience Cinnamon Hill and add your own story to its intriguing history. This challenging par 72 layout which plays just over 6800 yards from the tips has 4 sets of tees that offer a great experience for all levels of players from juniors to seniors.Proud Host of the 2010 LPGA Tour event ‘The MOJO 6”Rated by Golfweek as a Best Tour Courses you can play.

I think the best way to start this review is customer service/hospitality. We found out a different golf course had canceled our reservation the night before cruising into Jamaica. I frantically searched for a different course and found Cinnamon Hill. I wasn’t able to schedule a tee time the night before so we just showed up. The lady at the pro shop said no problem, go get some beers at the 19th hole and we’ll get your cart all set up. The Nike rental clubs were in great shape and they also threw in a sleeve of balls. The bathrooms were spotless and beautiful. We were required to have a caddie, which was included in our green fee. Our caddie was the absolute best, Wayne is a master at his art. He knew where to put the ball on every hole, however sometimes my ball wasn’t listening. Not my fault FYI, lol. Wayne also explained the history of the course and was our photographer on several holes. I can’t thank everyone enough for the best experience ever. Lastly I was going to post a picture of the course, but trust me when I tell you every hole is amazing.

We stayed in Villa 88 (Red Ginger) and could not be more pleased with every aspect of our trip. The villa offers six bedrooms each with private bathrooms. HInes, the butler, Olive, the housekeeper and Mama G, the chef were attentive, sweet beyond belief, and extraordinarily professional. We highly recommend you stay in this villa: Hines will coordinate anything you desire; Olive keeps the villa spotless (she even ironed my pajamas!) ; and Mama G's cooking is magnificent. We ate at all of the resort's restaurants, but Mama's G's food far surpassed anything we ate away from the villa. Her shrimp bisque and jerk chicken are two of the best things I've ever eaten. Thank you to all of them. We will most definitely be back!
