Can’t fault it.

We were amazed at how beautiful the location was. The house and grounds were stunning. The pool was glorious. We would highly recommend a visit.

The house is absolutely stunning, full of history, charm, charachter and peaceful after a day out-a true haven to come back too. Run and family owned, i was made to feel welcome and part of the family. Morning/afternoon coffee/tea with the hosts was super interesting. Thoroughly recomend this hidden gem on top of a hill🙂

There are two ways to the property and I took the wrong one, learned to stay as long as you can in the main road! Pay attention on the way your gps fives to get there, it doesn’t take long from main road!

The Tamarind great house is just beautiful! The house is amazing, the room is very spacious and the owner is so sweet, definitely felt at home and safe! Breakfast is great!

An option to have evening meals on site would have been useful, but there are plenty of places to eat in nearby Oracabessa, eg, Savoury Flavoury by the gas station (near Golden Eye) is good.

Fabulous house in a beautiful peaceful location overlooking the Jamaican countryside. Welcoming owners. Superb breakfasts. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

We would have been grateful for an offer of some refreshment on our arrival, especially as the hosts at that time were enjoying cups of tea. There was a kettle and a couple of teabags in our room but no milk to suit our British tastes The bed was too hard for us; there was no give in the mattress. It could have done with a padded topper on it. It was quite far (20 mins)to the nearest restaurant (cafes actually) in Oracabessa so we had to eat dinner earlier than normal, as we wanted to avoid driving back in the dark. Finding listed places turned out to be difficult and /or there were parking problems, so we ended up eating at a place next to a gas station . Not salubrious but decent food!

The wonderful location in the middle of a vast area of topical forest, so we didn’t mind the journey which was over some really bad roads. Lovely large pool, where I enjoyed a great swim. Interesting hosts, with whom we enjoyed chatting Beautiful large house filled with fascinating pictures and antiques Lovely spacious room with windows on two sides and a balcony with a good view Delicious breakfast

Wi-Fi is slightly erratic but understandable when you see the location and who cares when you're in such an idyllic spot! The road leading from the main road to the Tamarind has a very uneaven surface an numerous potholes, which are a challenge! However, we managed perfectly well in a small hire car so as long as you take it easy and navigate the dips and drops with care, it's definitely worth it to reach your end destination.

The Tamarind is an absolute gem. A large, colonial-style house with wooden floors, a sweeping staircase and elegant, spacious bedrooms, its location is exceptional. You'll find yourself surrounded by lush vegetation, beautiful birdsong and a relaxing sense of space and tranquility. Our wonderful host, Gillian, kindly upgraded us to a larger room with a huge balcony from which we gazed at the morning sky, the stars at night and admired the wide-ranging canopy of trees below. A delicious breakfast was served on the balcony below, always including home-grown produce like plantain, breadfruit and bananas, and we often watched hummingbirds and even a woodpecker as we ate. There is also a beautiful swimming pool just across the lawn which we loved using. Gillian and her son Gary are kind and helpful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our four-night stay, which felt totally unique.

The road is a bit rough, so you need to take care

The nature, the hosts, the pool and the doggies, all was amazing. The breakfast was delicious and the talks with Gilian were so interesting and nice.

It's not a good idea to stay there if you don't have your own car. You have to hope to get drivers, which can be difficult. The wifi doesnt work in the rooms. The British owner is superficially nice enough and likes to chat, which was nice since I was by myself (there were no other guests) but I had enough when she started with racist comments about the Jamaicans and denying the Holocaust happened... (not that I wanted to drift to that tropic but well, people seem to assume that's what Germans want to talk about). I wouldn't stay there again, even though the area is really spectacularly beautiful.

The area and the house itself are beautiful. The dogs are very friendly and so cute! The owner made me dinner, which was just noodles and quite expensive, but since there are no restaurants or supermarkets close by, it was the only option.

but I was disappointed with breakfast and the utensils was not so clean. The whole presentation was disappointing for me and my colleagues

The place was nice
