Great Huts Eco Resort

During spring, I visited Bali and stayed at a fantastic nature resort. After that experience, I researched and discovered Great Hut when I decided to visit my birthplace, Jamaica. I made a reservation for November 29 to November 31; however, we needed to reschedule our arrival to November 30 due to car issues.||Upon our arrival, we were greeted by some of the most wonderful staff, including Roberta, who kindly allowed us to stay for two nights without additional charges. The property is one of the most beautiful natural locations I have ever visited, perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. We stayed in the Sea Grape Hut, which was very comfortable. It featured a private pool and lounge chairs where we could relax while enjoying the stunning views of the blue water and watching breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.||Breakfast was enjoyable, and the entertainment was delightful. We danced and sang to beautiful Jamaican music. Although my stay was short, I felt a profound sense of peace. I highly recommend Great Hut to anyone seeking natural beauty and tranquility.

When we travel, we love picking unique accommodations. Great Huts is an excellent example of that! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to fully enjoy the beautiful nature of Portland parish without sacrificing comfort.||The resort site is entirely immersed into nature, almost invisible from outside, so it feels like you're in a camp. When you go into the houses it has many luxuries of a hotel. It also feels extremely private thanks to the units being spread out.||The private sea access is very cool, with hammocks and lounge chairs looking out to beautiful Boston Bay. You can walk 5 minutes to the Boston Bay beach which might be as pretty is Frenchman Cove (which is a short drive away) but also free to enter!||The hospitality at Great Huts was excellent. We were lucky to meet the Jamaican owners, Viv and Carey, who went out of their way to show us the neighborhood. They personally took us to an authentic night street party experience. Such a memorable trip!!||Note: For those driving from Kingston, the roads via A-3 were in pretty good condition as of December 2024. The coastal A-4 route was still in construction and not advisable unless you are looking for an adventure like us :)

Great Huts was an incredible experience for my family and me. We were lucky to visit on a day that featured cultural drumming in the evening, which made the atmosphere unforgettable. Dinner was the highlight—delicious local flavours served in a magical, serene setting. The African art pieces seen throughout the entire property is also very unique.||Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience in Portland!

After a tour of the grounds, we decided to spend Christmas dinner at Great Huts. We began by taking some portraits on the grounds, including the lookout over Boston beach. They had an affordably priced and exquisitely prepared buffet for everyone in their common area. The meal was amazing, consisting of red pea soup, seafood and chicken, salads and dessert! On top of that we had entertainment as well, consisting of Mr Darby and his performers who educated us about the history of dance in jamaica, and ended with a dance party for all of us! I highly recommend spending your time at Great Huts, it's such a unique and intentional place!

Great Huts was an adventure. My husband and I went for a weekend to escape. The environment is rustic with all the modern amenities you could want. It is an old property,, but the rooms are clean. This is not a fancy dress and shoes resort. The paths take you through a nature walk. The beach was my favorite. Unfortunately, hurricane Beryl did some damage to the shore line, but I still enjoyed laying in hammocks under grape trees sipping a rum punch. If you are young, there is a big "rock" that you can jump off. I watched other people doing it and it looked fun. We arrived late the first night. We were welcomed and escorted to our room after we ate our dinner. Everyone went out of their way to make us comfortable. The food is authentic Jamaican and very good. The Jamaican breakfast was loved by my husband. The staff was amazing. They catered to all of our needs. We went to Great Huts because I wanted the "real" authentic Jerk Pork. What I found was the best jerk pork and chicken, but I also found amazing jerk chicken sausage. If you need to de-stress this is the place to go. Thank you Great Huts! Thank you to all your staff. I do not want to name anyone in fear of missing a name. I will remember this weekend fondly!

Enjoy this place. Unique stay with various huts with its own themes. . Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good. Had dinner there; food is little expensive. But you can walk to near by Ally for food too Not sure if it was low season, it was way less crowded. Beach was awesome.

Excellent service lovely food and great location/ private access to Boston bay. Cool diving area and welcoming water. Right next to 10 jerk restaurants and easy to walk around town. Lots of local parties and dj smoozik next door to get your reggae music from!

Amazing eco lodge in a very exclusive location, on a cliff offering breathtaking views. This place is really special in many aspects: the decorations, the location, the friendly staff, the huts, etc. Don’t go there for pure comfort, but rather to live an authentic experience in the middle of nature. Absolutely recommend.
