Almond Hill

About Almond Hill, Jamaica

The villa is tastefully decorated with comfortable furniture inside and out. Tall library shelves in the high-ceilinged living room house an abundance of books, movies and cable television.

Spacious bathrooms with mirrored walls adjoin each bedroom. The master bathroom features an oversize bathtub and open shower area with floor-to-ceiling louvered doors that open to a walled garden.

Down a gentle slope a few steps from the house is the large private pool. Its spacious gazebo is a favorite spot for shaded poolside lunches.

Perhaps best of all is Almond Hill's design around the large furnished verandah ~ cooled by tradewinds and located for its superb view nine miles across the sea to the harbor and town of Montego Bay. A haven for reading and napping, the verandah is most memorable for wonderful candlelight dinners served here with the romance of distant lights reflecting on the bay.

While completely private behind its iron entrance gates and not actually within Round Hill proper, Almond Hill is just a one-minute drive from prestigious Round Hill Hotel with beach, water sports, shops, fitness center, Kids Club, indoor and beachside bars and excellent Continental restaurant. Each week, three themed beach party buffets welcome Almond Hill guests for various fees.

If you left your pets behind while you take a vacation, be advised that Almond Hill is home to some lovable family dogs who are granted free run of the house and grounds.
