"Only A frame I know of in Jamaica! Kind of like staying in a tiny house.Hot plate worked well just needed a larger skillet for cooking a meal. Microwave didnt work well. Other appliances all worked well & put to use. Plunge pool refreshingly welcomed. Morning views to the Great pond with sunshine reflections awesone. Night view of Lovers Leap Lighthouse also spectacular. Then the night star filled sky. No other people on the lane but owner very aware of goings on so security definitely there....

The Garden Hotel Mandeville

The Garden Hotel Mandeville

8/10 Good
"Lovely modern hotel, perfect location, and tasty breakfast. I didn't like that "garden view" was restricted to the ground floor only. Interestingly enough, unless there is a "parking lot" view, there are no other views to be seen because the hotel is smacked in the middle of town. That aside, I will definitely return."
