Geejam

Geejam is a wonderful place -- the rooms are beautiful and well-appointed with fantastic local art and thoughtful touches. The bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever had in a hotel, and everything is meticulously clean. Despite being in the middle of the rain forest, I never saw bugs or lizards in my room. The system of texting guest services works well and the staff is warm and kind. The views are ridiculous, loved the pool and the vibe. It was great to come back from a day of exploring and just relax in the Bushbar with a drink (the rum punch is delicious). There are some great parties and the owner Steve was kind enough to invite us. He also greeted us several times and checked to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I would note that there isn't a true "sandy beach" but there is a nice area by the water where you can lay out or take free kayaks to explore. The only downside is how long it takes to get food. In the restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner we typically had to wait 1-1.5 hours for our meal to be delivered to the table. For one group lunch, we pre-ordered the meals a week in advance and it still took one hour for drinks and two hours for everyone to be served food. Even room service took over an hour for breakfast and I ended up having to cancel the order because I had plans and couldn't wait any longer. I really wanted to give Geejam five stars but I just couldn't because of this issue. The food was delicious so no complaints there at all. That said, there were some real stars. Ian is the hardest-working man in the restaurant! You can tell he gives his all to make sure guests are having a great time. Shane and Brian at the bar/restaurant are fantastic as well. Newton in guest services handled all of our requests quickly and was always pleasant and friendly. He helped coordinate transport to the local attractions and any random things that came up. He was definitely the MVP!

From the moment we arrived at Geejam, we were completely blown away. The property is tucked away in lush tropical surroundings, offering a perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and authentic Jamaican charm. It truly feels like a hidden oasis. The Jamaican breakfast each morning was a highlight – fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the day. From ackee and saltfish to perfectly ripe fruit and rich Blue Mountain coffee, every bite was a reminder of the island’s incredible culinary culture. What really sets Geejam apart is the warmth and hospitality of the staff. Every team member, from housekeeping to the front desk, made us feel genuinely welcome and cared for. A special thank you to the owner, who made time to connect with guests and ensure everyone was having a memorable experience – a personal touch that means a lot. The private beach was another standout – serene, secluded, and postcard-perfect. We loved taking the kayaks out on the calm water and lounging with a drink in hand. The bar area is stylish and relaxed, with a great selection of cocktails and a perfect view of the coastline. If you're looking for a luxurious yet laid-back escape in Jamaica, Geejam is a must. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning our return.
