What guests think

At Jamaica Palace Hotel, travellers highlight the peaceful setting, well-kept grounds with abundant art, and a large Jamaica-shaped pool as standout features, creating a relaxing base for visits to Portland’s beaches and attractions.

Guests frequently praise the friendly, attentive staff, though a few report slow check-ins, occasional rudeness or inconsistent responses, and strict visitor rules. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable with reliable Wi‑Fi, but several reviews note dated decor, limited TV channels, and occasional maintenance or noise disturbances. Breakfast earns consistent praise and many enjoyed the food, yet some found choices limited or pricey and reported slow service at times, with dining hours that can end early. Best for travelers seeking quiet relaxation over nightlife.

We chose Jamaica Palace hotel for peace & quiet and it was awesome. We received great services from front desk and restaurant and the grounds was peaceful. Lots of mangoes too. The Jamaica shaped pool was warm and inviting and we spent memorable time in the pool and it rained also. That was a blessings. We will definitely return. All the staff were to be commended- the restaurant staff "Y' and front desk and even the pool attendant was kind, professional. Hats off to Jamaica Palace hotel - 5 star in my book

This hotel is a gem! It looks beautiful, has plenty of space and is great for a quiet stay. It is just missing a few touches that would make it great (etc. extra amenities such as a gym, tv in dinning room, cable in the rooms, access to open bar near the pool, concierge for things to do around the area, etc)

Jennifer, the supervisor of the housekeeping team, was awesome! The Chefs and the dining room team gave superior service and the meals were delicious and divine. Ms. Campbell and the front office team were very welcoming and made sure to cater to each guest’s needs. The grounds of the hotel are kept in pristine condition and the pool in the shape of Jamaica is one of the biggest and best kept pools I have seen. My stay at this hotel was wonderful!

What I like most about this property is the staff, they are amazing. The friendly greeting at the gate by security to the warm welcome at the front desk (especially Tisha) and the gleaming smiles from the breakfast staff to start your day. Ms Elizabeth is always with a pleasant smile whenever you ran into during a walk. The property is very clean and housekeeping team always seems eager to keep such cleanliness intact at all times. However, the property is very dated, the rooms and bathroom would be so much brighter and lighter with an upgrade. Overall this place is one I would recommend if you need a quiet place to stay outside of town but not too far away. WiFi service was very good I got plenty of work done including zoom meetings.

The gardens and swimming pool are well maintained and beautiful too. I would like to say a special THANKS to Elizabeth for promise of mangoes on our stay. I hope to visit again on my next trip to Jamaica. Thank you Karline P

After booking online and arriving at the hotel we were told we had to pay a holding fee of USD 200. In this day and age we thought this to be very inconvenient and archaic. Of course when we tried paying this holding fee, the machine would not work for some of us and for others it ended up charging the card twice. Checking in took forever and a few of my friends had to change room because of sparkes flying from the light in the room. Breakfast was ok and the staff we encountered in the morning seemed more knowledgeable about the operations. The beds were comfortable.

This place was strangely wonderful in some ways. 80 bedrooms, all facilities open and well managed by friendly staff, including great pool area and gardens, dining room and bar, but for 2 of our 3 nights there only 2 rooms taken, ours. 4 guests in the whole hotel. The staff outnumbered us by about 4-1. It is a grand, quirky hotel which we enjoyed staying at. The food in the dining room was unfortunately not that great for the price, and the road in the area is still under construction so is bad. It is not easy to go far in the evening so after trying the hotel restaruant maybe eat out during the day and just relax in the evening as we did.

The Jamaica Palace Hotel is beautiful and the staff we welcoming and friendly. The rooms were adequately sized. The landscape and pool are gorgeous. It was a challenge to do early check in but the staff were able to accommodate us. The cons are there’s not any dining options nearby. It requires a drive 20 mins out to find food. The hotel doesn’t provide snacks or a little cafe for quick meals.

This property has so much potential. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous views and lush gardens. Pool is nice and large. The service is really lacking. It takes forever if you order off the a la carte menu (1 hr for a snapper fillet with french fries!) The bedroom and bathroom are really dated. You can tell nothing has been done in a long while to improve the place and it's a real shame. We won't be coming back.
