It is said that Errol Flynn was once washed up onto the shores of Ocho Rios and that he brought the whole of Hollywood with him. Certainly this legacy of finding a suitable Caribbean hideaway for the rich and famous has continued at Jamaica Inn over the decades. The hotel has a long and proud reputation as one of the most endearing and friendly establishments. Perhaps, this is best appreciated as you contemplate a dip in the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea from the shade of your outdoor, living room-sized veranda that literally overflows onto the pristine, white sands of the hotels very private crescent beach.         

Time has not stood still at Jamaica Inn as owners, Peter & Eric Morrow, have striven to keep their establishment in tune with the desires of new generations of guests. Certainly there has always been great dining, impeccable and friendly service and some memorable chat at their famous bar, but General Manager Mary Phillips recognises the increasing need of recuperative pampering which has been addressed with the opening of the KiYara Ocean Spa. Set on a bluff overlooking the sea, the treatment facilities are in open-air thatch-roofed huts with hand-carved wooden pillars, surrounded by tropical gardens.
