Great Huts Eco Resort

What an absolutely lovely and unique experience. From the moment I walked into Great Huts the warm welcome & hospitality created an inviting atmosphere. The property is nicely laid out with deeply connecting cultural decor everywhere. I loved all the little details. I had the pleasure of getting upgraded to the "African Sunrise" hut, which was semi-private, very serene, and adventurously designed! It was clean, had beautiful views of the ocean and some of the property, and quiet. |I also had the pleasure of attending the cultural show that takes place on Saturday evenings and it was even more amazing than I expected. It felt like a small family gathering where we learned a lot abut Jamaican culture, danced, and ate delicious food. 10 out of 10 for sure. |Another one of my favorite parts was having the private beach by the ocean to sit, swim, and explore. I was there for an amazing pilates workshop on the yoga deck, and we ended on the beach with vendors all dedicated to health and wellness. I cannot stop raving and sharing about my stay here. Highly recommend!!

and deep connection with oneself and the land.||The architecture, the textures, the colors, the energy — everything feels intentional and sacred. You can feel the love, vision, and respect for art and nature in every detail. It is a place where time softens and creation becomes natural.||I am deeply grateful for this stay. Great Huts holds something rare: beauty with depth, art with soul, and a profound sense of peace. I will carry this place with me in my writing and in my heart.||Highly recommended for artists, writers, dreamers, and anyone seeking inspiration and presence.

We visited Great Huts on a day pass and had a wonderful experience. We really enjoyed relaxing by the pool, and the lunch was delicious. The view of the sea was absolutely beautiful and made the day even more special. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the staff were warm and welcoming.|Overall, it was a great visit, and we would definitely consider coming back again!

Loved Great Huts. Great Huts is a lovingly curated experience of Art, Books, Music, Architectural vision and more amidst the beautiful natural Boston Bay setting of the beautiful Carib sea/beach and cliffs. Rustic and comfy with all you need and friendly helpful hosts serving good food and libations. The type of place that attracts eclectic interesting people. Where else do you get Jamaican culture with a New Yawk twist......Kudos to Dr. Paul and his staff for providing this experience.

Great Huts is an absolute treasure. Stunning views, a warm and welcoming staff, cozy hammocks, and a beautiful beach make it the perfect place to unwind. The food was delicious, and the location is ideal for exploring Port Antonio. A truly unique and magical stay—I’ll definitely be back!

I came to relax and attend the pilates and Journaling class on the weekend. I'm happy I went!||Location - by the sea side which was well needed. Easy to locate because it's near the Boston Jerk Center. 10/10||Room - I got a room upgrade since I was alone which was highly appreciated. It was the Yoruba room with AC that is tastefully decorated with a comfortable bed. I also had access to the beautiful pool and kitchen. The overall decor made me feel as if I was in Africa! I would have liked to have a working Ac remote and cleaner kitchen environment and utensils though. 7/10||Atmosphere - beautiful especially before the sun rises! A walk is always nice here. 9/10||Staff - very warm and friendly and the chef does a mean plate! Big up Sherika and Tanya! 10/10||Food - delicious!!! Loved the coconut callaloo and festival especially. Food was served within a reasonable time. Big up Lloyd! 10/10||Cleanliness - it's a resort that is primarily outside so I expected to be exposed to the elements (insects, mosquitoes etc), which I was also advised about prior to my arrival. I was also provided with complementary mosquitoes repellant. I visited during a slow period (after Hurricane Melissa). My room was relatively clean but I would have preferred if the furniture and books were dusted a little bit more often (overall). The small pools could do with a little bit more maintenance. 6/10||Wifi - the Hurricane blow down the wires so it would be unfair for me to judge this one. NA||Saturday Entertainment - as someone with a deep appreciation for culture, I was pleasantly surprised to session the little children preserving our culture via their beautiful dance routines, while being guided by the elders in the group. Lovely perform in my book (a Jamaican local). 9/10|||Pilates class and Journaling session - relaxing and well organized. There was complimentary drinks (delicious!), face towels, face sprays and Mats. Loved my instructor Iyla! I also met some amazing ladies in this environment that felt psychological safe. Well needed destress session. The massage was also nice on the beachside. Lets say you'll have the nest sleep you've had in a while afterwards. 10/10|||Overall rating - 8/10

From the moment I arrived at Great Huts, I was swept away by its beauty, creativity, and warmth. The property is unlike anywhere I’ve ever stayed — a sanctuary that immerses you in nature while celebrating African and Jamaican heritage through art, design, and architecture. Every corner tells a story, and being surrounded by such thoughtful detail felt truly special. The staff made my experience even more memorable. From the front desk to the dining area, everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. They called me by my name, anticipated my needs, and attended to my requests with genuine care. Their kindness added a personal touch that made me feel right at home. I also had the privilege of meeting Dr. Paul, the visionary behind Great Huts. Speaking with him gave me even greater appreciation for the love and thought poured into this place. His passion for culture, history, and nature is alive in every detail. Whether you’re seeking rest, inspiration, or connection, Great Huts is a truly magical escape. I can’t recommend it highly enough and I look forward to returning—this time with my daughter, who is already enchanted by it from afar!

My husband and I, 65-year-old world travelers, typically book small boutique hotels when traveling in foreign countries because they tend to offer more authentic cultural experiences than run-of-the mill corporate hotels. So when we came across Great Huts when researching places to stay in Jamaica, we knew we had to check it out. Having just returned from a delightful week at Great Huts, all I can say is "WOW!"||||The rooms and grounds of Great Huts are so unique that I'm not even going to try to offer a description. Please look at the attached photos and peruse the website. As opposed to the more rustic huts, we chose to stay in Africana House, which is a large villa with four separate suites, an enormous seating area, kitchen, and pool. Africana House is aptly named as it is filled with African-themed art. We were upstairs in the Yoruba Room and absolutely loved it. ||||Over the course of our stay, we had the pleasure of spending time with the owner, Dr. Paul Rosenberg. Should he be in residence during your stay, be sure to speak with him and get the story of how Great Huts came to be. Dr. Paul is such an interesting man who goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. If you're lucky, he might even sing to you in Yiddish! Also, don't miss the Saturday night show with local dancers, drummers, and lots of singing. ||||A review of Great Huts would not be complete without mentioning the food and staff. The official menu is somewhat limited, but Chef Lloyd is happy to prepare additional traditional Jamaican dishes such as curry goat with advanced notice. We arrived at Great Huts about 3 weeks after Hurricane Melissa devastated other parts of Jamaica, so a large variety of fresh fruit was not available. Overall, the food was very good and abundant. As for the staff, we found everyone to be cheerful, helpful, friendly, and inquisitive. They are all hard workers and strive to make their guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. ||||I highly recommend a week's stay at Great Huts. There are plenty of attractions to visit nearby (Frenchmen's Cove, Reach Falls, Port Antonio), but you can easily spend the entire time just chilling at the beach where the swimming is great. Kick back, turn off your phone, read a book, swing in a hammock, sip on a cocktail, RELAX!
