 Tranquility
Reviewer: Jamaica visitor, UK
The Hotel Mocking Bird is a stunning place with good facilities for someone with limited mobility. My husband and I had a wonderful, relaxing holiday. The hotel was beautiful and the food was amazing. We had a great time sampling all the different meals, watching fireflies amid the sounds of the forest. The homemade breads were especially delicious, cocktails lovely. The vegetarian menu was very good and there was a good choice every night. The staff are really friendly and helpful. They made our holiday really special.The rooms were beautiful with a verandah and a hammock looking out towards the sea. It was also nice to see that they were so environmentally conscious.We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is far enough away from town to have a quiet time but near enough to town to make it easy enough for sightseeing.There was so much to see and do that we only really skimmed the surface. We left a part of us in Port Antonio and will definitely be going back to stay at Hotel Mocking Bird.
A most special stay

A wonderful stay; the result of immense hard work. What we saw was simply serene, gracious and elegant. Our room overlooked a fabulous sweep of lush rain forest and magnificent flora, with the crystalline Caribbean curving into the horizon. The great staff provided excellent service. Service with warm, natural, tropical smiles.The food was phenomenal. Every day we ate like royalty, indulging in what they aptly describe as Creative Caribbean cuisine.We recommend Hotel Mocking Bird Hill to all who want true Jamaican feel in a casual and relaxed atmosphere with an emphasis on personalized service, gourmet dining.We had a most special stay.
 If you love flowers and quiet relaxation

For complete relaxation, personal service, and excellent food, Mockingbird Hill is the best. It is a small and intimate hotel where all the staff will attend to your every need. The view of the Blue Mountains from the 3rd floor bar area is breathtaking. There are plenty of comfortable chairs to relax in and read, or talk with the other guests. One can sit in the open area, lean back and gaze at the stars without the "light pollution" that keeps the stars from shining brightly at home.
Shireen and Barbara are perfect hostesses, and they make you feel as if you are a freind visiting their home. If you stay here, they will help you arrange any tours you desire. (I highly recommend Wayne Drysdale of Attractions Link Ltd. for all the times you need transportation and tours). My favorite memories are of listening to the hummingbird wings as they feed at the huge orchid tree at the edge of the building, while all the stress of home melted away. The only drawback of the hotel is the lack of air-conditioning (although there are plenty of fans to keep the air moving) and the uncomfortable beds (rather hard) But the rest of the amenities, the personalized attention and overall comfort and beauty of the property more than make up for that. Be sure to go out the front door after dark to enjoy the blooming night jasmine.
