Jamaica / B&Bs & Guest Houses

By James Henderson

As a large island with a good depth of accommodation, Jamaica has plenty of guest houses. They are scattered around the island, some in the main resort towns, making them convenient for travelling from town to town or for the airport, but others tucked away in unexpected locations, perhaps isolated on a local beach in a small town in the east of the island, or high in the mountains, which make them a small destination in themselves. Inevitably standards vary, but you will find that most have good local character and a friendly attitude.

Some guest houses have a particularly good dining room or a speciality such as yoga retreats.

Please see below for Jamaica bed and breakfast recommendations and listings.
