Surrey Occasions Autumn Number 2003 - "The only access to the sweeping beach that fronts the hotel is through the hotel. At the end of the cove is a rocky point and offshore there is a protective reef, which not only means excellent swimming and snorkeling, but also total privacy. It is also reputed to be one of the best beaches in the whole Caribbean. Swimming among the gentle waves is a delightful and thoroughly safe experience, and to quench the thirst a delightful thatched beach bar provides excellent cocktails and light lunches."
"Breakfast on the restaurant terrace overlooking the Ocho Rios bay is an entertaining and delightful experience. The breakfast is individually prepared, no American-style hot trays presentations here. It is truly superb. Entertainment in the form of hundreds/thousands of tropical fish gathers in the waters below to await the odd piece of bread offered by waiters and guests alike, and the waters boil with activity."
"Dinner is again a pleasure, eagerly awaited, with a choice of international cuisine with a Caribbean twist, served with style and flair. Fresh flowers are always present."

"The intimate family owned resort - on 6 acres fronting a protected cove on Jamaica's lush North Coast - gracefully delivers on its reputation as one of the Caribbean's classics."

 

Conde Nast Traveler July 2003 - "The Jamaica Inn, in Ocho Rios, is one of those strange places that never seem to change yet keep on getting better. Well there is a spiffy new spa and all the usual electronic gizmos, but the atmosphere remains slightly old-fashioned in the best sense, with staff who have been there forever and know your name. Oh yes, and it also happens to have the one of the most beautiful small - and private - beaches on the island. Winston Churchill used to stay in the White Suite and set up his easel in the garden. Never noisy, never crowded, this is swimming and sunning at its most civilized. The Morrow family, from Connecticut, has owned the hotel since the 1950s, which must contribute to the feeling one gets of comforting continuity."

Gourmet Magazine July 2003 - In the list of the 10 great things about Jamaica, Gourmet Magazine had Jamaica Inn as its pick for a Romantic Dinner… "Listen to the surf whisper against the sand, and gaze at the night sky through a lattice of palm fronds on the dining terrace at Jamaica Inn. With the recent arrival of Kai Bechinger, the fare at this Ocho Rios landmark has finally begun to match the setting."

Caribbean Travel & Life March 2003 rated Jamaica Inn as the #2 Small Hotel in the Caribbean for 2003 - "The Jamaica Inn's Intimate setting & its outstanding service continue to command attention.
