Hotel Mockingbird Hill

A certified green hotel - no air conditioning so expect to open the huge doors and sleep in a tropical jungle. Not good if you have sinus problems. The building is old, but generally maintained well for the tropics (our toilet leaked water and huge french doors were very hard to close due to swelling). External access to rooms so bring a raincoat. Beautiful country style open air common spaces with great views. No bar drinks since COVID, just white/red wine or local beer. Great views, very nice jungle garden pathway. The one lane access road is poorly marked, very steep and not maintained for 70 years. You will need goggle maps to find it. The food service has been taken over by a really good Italian chef - but is very expensive ($226 USD for three meals for two without drinks, more than the hotel room). No menu, it is farm/boat to table, but you can make requests and ask the prices. Best food in Jamaica. The hotel is quite remote, so expect a fairly long taxi ride to town.

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting! Opening the shutters onto our balcony after a good night's sleep we awake to a glorious view of gardens, forest and sea. The hotel is very eco conscious and Angela is a warm and welcoming host. Highly recommended and excellent coffee!.

Beautiful hotel located in a lush, tropical paradise! The rooms have gorgeous views of the 6 acre garden and at night all you are the wonderful sounds of nature around you. It’s a special type of retreat, when you’re in a place like this, for both mind and body! Wifi works well, showers are hot, and the service is great. The second floor and pools are gorgeous places to relax and take in the breath taking views the hotel offers as it is located atop a hill. On top of all of this, there’s even have an app that you can download to give you more information about the hotel and surrounding attractions. Close drive to all the major attractions (blue lagoon, Frenchmen cove, Boston bay, town) in the area which is another plus :) Paula and Angela are so friendly they make you feel right at home as soon as you arrive (thank you!). For these reasons and more, I’d be more than happy to stay here again and would recommend it highly for anyone looking for an accommodation in port Antonio!!

Let share a bit about this place call Mockingbird hill hotel. Let me say first of all this review has been long coming .this beautiful gem is breathtaking. The views are absolutely fantastic. I stayed there with my family. The host was inviting. She took the the time to go through everything with us .I cant fault this place the food was lovely. I see where people are saying it is expensive. You are paying for the comfort, the secludnest and tranquility. Further more, it's a ecofriendly place. Angela and the staff who work there made us feel comfortable. We were shown around in the gardens.Angela also recommended local attractions like,Frenchman cove ,Boston jerk and Roselle falls St.Thomas

Without doubt one of the favorite hotels, I stayed during my time in Jamaica! I was in Jamaica for the funeral of a family member,although it was a sad occasion Hotel Mocking Bid lighten up the experience. Upon arrival (very late in the night) we were warmly welcomed by the staff. The staff was amicable, the restaurant very flexible (appreciate this!) and all their dishes are made upon your order, this means no precooked, canned persevered food. I had fresh fruits every morning with Jamaica best "Blue mountain" coffee and homemade loaves of bread. You need to try their coconut bread. I travel a lot, and this bread was one of the best I have ever had. The hotel scenery was beautiful, and it was a relieve to stay in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The ambiance was so therapeutic and rejuvenating. The trip to the natural mineral bath was a great way to end the weekend. Excellent! excellent, génial, 优秀.

Booked Hotel Mockingbird on a whim for my birthday. I’m so happy I did! The hotel is tucked away in the hills of Portland, and is such a relaxing getaway. Spent 2 nights with my partner and the hospitality we received was outstanding! The staff is extremely friendly and ready to assist with any concerns you may have. The restaurant, Wilke’s, was great. We enjoyed every meal that we had. Our waitress Aneice had the best customer service. We can’t wait for our next staycation at Hotel Mockingbird. We’ll definitely be back.

The hotel property and views are breathtaking 😍. Location is near a lot of attractions 👌🏽. The roads in Port Antonio to get there are currently terrible, so drive slow 😖. Did we have a 4 star hotel experience? 🤔 No. Rather an Air BnB vibe due to the current situation. If everything would be up & running we would give it 4 stars. If you want to experience nature, meditate, want to relax a lot or do a lot of hiking, this is the place to go to. You'll have a great time. If you expect 4 star luxury: don't book this hotel OR alter your expectation and you'll be fine. THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND Our garden room was basic (no airconditioning and tv. Free wifi which works well mostly). Naturally airconditioning room = 2 fans and the possibility to leave doors and windows open. Result = bugs, red ants and mosquitoes. So, take mosquito repellent with you. Breakfast isn't included. The restaurant is closed but an alternative is offered for which you have to make a reservation 1 day ahead. So if you arrive late in the afternoon make sure you had dinner before, because there's no food or snacks in the hotel. There's no bar service either. So bring your own drinks and food (local supermarket down the hill). This gave us an Air B n B feel rather than a (4 star) hotel. Also, you need to pay cash for the food alternative. You can't use your bank or credit card. We didn't know (because they didn't tell us upfront). When checking out, we had to drive 40 mins back and forth on a bad road, into town to get money from a cash machine in order to pay the food 🤔 You can make tea and coffee in your room, don't expect anything fancy or luxurious. We're happy the concierge gave us a mini fridge after we asked to put our drinks in the kitchen fridge. We didn't know the rooms and beds are cleaned when you leave (or when you stay longer than 5 days). There's a note in the bathroom, but currently it isn't accurate due to covid staff problems, as explained by the manager after asking. You need to ask for new towels, they don't come into your room to check if they need to change them on a daily basis. Lastly, if you want info you need to ask. Don't expect outgoing staff members who give you a lot of information. Local staff is friendly when you address them and ask questions.

Wonderfully relaxing hotel in amazing location. The hotel was ahead of its time with its sustainable ethos and it’s great to be able to stay in such a lovely environment and hopefully minimise our impact. Close to the most beautiful beaches and Blue Mountains about an hour away. Highly recommended.
