Where to stay in the Caribbean
Mountain-top views and Caribbean elegance on the beautiful island of Jamaica.
Strawberry Hill
What's so special?
How they rate it
It offers "the most beautiful vista I've ever seen: a landscape of city, port, sea and sun". The height also means fewer mosquitoes "a huge nuisance in much of the region". Most of the rooms are log cabins that "cut into the side of the mountain, giving a magical sense of sleeping within an enchanted forest".
