If you are looking to experience the real Jamaica, rather than an all-inclusive fantasy version, this is the place for you. Everything about Pimento Lodge is genuine: the lovely proprietors, the Jamaican cuisine, the ambience and the voluble crickets.

it was nice

Great property

Our stay was very relaxing and beautifully. Unlike any other places we've stayed on the island. The staff was welcoming. The ambiance is peaceful. The views of the ocean are spectacular. We look forward to visiting again.

It is true that the villa is beautiful, and Long Bay is a great area, however our stay was not without issue. The villa is on a main road, and as such you get a fair amount of traffic noise, especially as they are fixing the roads in the area. I received an email to say that 'light refreshing of rooms' would be done, but apparently you have to actually tell the housekeeper what you want done. We discovered this after two days when we needed toilet paper etc. in a couple of the bathrooms. If you don't say please can you make my bed etc, it will not be done. The water pressure in the master bath is really poor. It means that it is impossible to fill the bathtub, and the shower is very weak. We ended up using a bathroom on the ground floor. Not ideal. The washing machine wasn't working properly meaning we could not wash clothes. The kitchen is poor. Only two out of five burners working, no kettle or toaster. I guess if you are using the chef service it isn't your issue, but as a family of four we were doing some meals ourself so it was a little tricky at times. The loungers by the pool are not as a picture online, there are three basic loungers, not the comfy cushion ones. No ceiling fan in the lounge or bedroom by the pool, no stand fans available either. This made for a few very uncomfortable hours when there had been a power cut and the AC could not go back on. Ming the property manager was great, worked very hard, but these issues were out of his control.

The property is very nice and taken care of. They view from our balcony is absolutely breathtaking. Amazing food and beach within walking distance. John was super helpful and gave us advice as of where to go. He really cares. I will be back.
