This hotel won't win any prizes for architectural finesse -- it looks like a hospital. But despite its shortcomings, it's one of the best-maintained and most efficiently managed hotels in the area. It's a motel-like property with a small pool that's found in an unattractive courtyard. We'd give the Mandeville Hotel higher marks, though it too is a bit spartan. About half of the rooms here overlook the verdant fairways of the local golf course (Manchester Country Club); others front a swimming pool and a banal courtyard. Rooms are outfitted motel-style with relatively comfortable furnishings. About a third of them have air-conditioning, and each is equipped with a shower-tub combination bathroom.

This ornate hotel dates from 1875, once housing part of the British military garrison. In the 1970s the original hotel was replaced with a modern structure. There's a spacious lounge and good food and service. Bedrooms range in size from small to spacious, furnished with Jamaican styling, often including a four-poster bed and mahogany furniture. Bathrooms are old-fashioned but tidily maintained each with a shower and tub. There are attractive gardens, plus golf and tennis at the nearby Manchester Country Club.
There is no pretension to the food at all; it's simple, homemade fare. From the dining room, you'll have a view of the pool and the green hills of central Jamaica.

Restaurant; bar; pool; limited room service; laundry service; rooms for those w/limited mobility
