    I like that it is a hotel that trains young people. All the staff was friendly , but bar closes early so bring some beer . the only thing is that there... are no restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was good by a Hotels.com guest on 04/09/12

    THIS HOTEL IS IN TRANSITION, BUT THE FACILITY WAS AMAZING. IT HAD A VERY "STUFFY" FEEL, NOT VERY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE. EVERYONE WAS PLEASANT ENOUGH, BUT IN SUCH A FORMAL WAY. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS FROM THE ROOM. TROUBLE GETTING SUPPLIES REPLENISHED AND ICE WAS NOT READILY AVAILABLE. THE POOL WAS NICE...PRETTY MUCH HAD IT TO MYSELF. I HOPE THEY WILL LOOK AT […] THE SMALL DETAILS SUCH AS LIGHTING IN THEIR RENOVATION. THE BAR WAS LOVELY, BUT THE TV WAS BLARING MOST OF THE TIME AND THE FLOURESCENT BULBS IN THE HANGING LIGHT WERE WAY TOO BRIGHT TO CREATE A NICE BAR ATMOSPHERE. THE RESTAURANT HAD A NICE MENU, BUT THE SERVICE WAS LACKING. VERY SLOW TO RESPOND TO REQUESTS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT BUSY. THEY WOULD BE IN TROUBLE IF THEY HAD A CROWD. THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER ERIC, WAS VERY INTERESTED IN MY CRITIQUE WHILE I WAS THERE. I AM GLAD THAT I ONLY HAD 3 NIGHTS THERE. I WAS OFF THE PROPERTY MOST OF MY STAY, BUT WHEN I WAS THERE, IT WAS LIKE MY OWN PRIVATE VILLA SINCE THERE WERE VERY FEW GUESTS. INTERESTING HOTEL WITH LOTS OF POTENTIAL. GOOD FOR A QUIET GETAWAY, BUT DON'T EXPECT TO BE ENTERTAINED.... Read more

    I've been travelling to Jamaica for over 10 years. It's always difficult to find good quality independent hotels to get away from the package experience.The Heart is a little gem of a place in the hills above Runaway Bay.The hotel is very secure, the grounds are lovely and offer a beautiful view of the Bay below.The staff were extremely pleasant and […] always smiling.The room was clean and comfortable and overall, my stay was very relaxing and enjoyable.You're not getting a stay at The Hilton but the price is just right for the experience.I have paid similar prices in Jamaica previously and had very disappointing experiences, with dirty rooms and unhelpful staff. For me,The Heart is the perfect balance between luxury and value. Great job guys, thank you. I've been back once already ! Read more
