Beautiful tropical grounds really well cared for, lovely poolin great surroundings. Villa was clean and comfortable but needed a little TLC as jaded at the edges. Staff all very welcoming and friendly. Meals on the Hummingbird Terrace were tasty in lovely surroundings

The staff is amazing helpful and kind m. the rooms are old there is rat and roaches everywhere and ants all over the rooms. they charge so much no breakfast included like other simulate properties around. I will never go back there - all they have going for them is the view the owners or people in charge need to do better- i’m asking expedia for some type of refund or something the pms e was horrible they need to take that off the list of places to send thier guests to.

For the money this was a terrible hotel. The rooms were very old and in disrepair, water didn’t work for a day (to flush toilets), furniture was dirty and I didn’t want to sit on it, the food was not great. Only good point was the personal chef that cooked for us and was delicious. The road to the property is destroyed and made the taxi (although Petey was awesome) ride difficult. I would never stay again or recommend the property.

Beautiful location up in the hills. Very nice and calm atmosphere with great views...beautiful planting. Humming birds ! Really helpful and friendly staff. a bit far from beaches: the only local beach (walking distance) is only open at the weekend, great beaches short driving distances: frenchman cove and Boston Beach. Blue Lagoon closed at the moment. The main local road at the moment is difficult and makes all journeys very slow and tricky... hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Land scaping and ambiance was superb. The view was excellent. The staff was helpful and pleasing to work with. On the other hand the property was a little dated and facilities needs to be upgraded or modernized a bit. Overall though a fantastic experience and I will be a repeat customer.

Listen!! I want to be fair…the staff at this location was extremely nice and this review is no fault of there’s. For the price this was not up to standard unless you don't mind paying over $300 per night to have no running water, or to have to go to the swimming pool to fill up a bucket to flush the toilets….NOT acceptable- You can see that in its heyday, this place was lovely but a MASSIVE reno is necessary and maybe a bit of love for this lovely location. The property and the views are lovely and each villa has potential….We lasted 1 night and had a delicious cup of soup and curry chicken and a salad for $70 US for two guests….That was the bad news….the good news is this establishment was extremely apologetic and I appreciated that sentiment. Hoping they get their act together and manage this hidden gem better!!

The property was beautifully located overlooking the sea. The grounds green and lush and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The villa was exactly as it was pictured online. I will definitely be back.

We had an ocean view room and it was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking view.
We would definitely stay here again
The villas are beautifully decorated and is fully equipped if you would prefer to cater for yourself. We chose to have our meals delivered to the villa
The food was excellent and the servings were very generous.
Plenty to do if you want to.
Fantastic

Goblin Hill is a beautiful and relaxing retreat. The team is kind and responsive. The food (when ordered ahead) is authentic and delicious. The views are stunning. The main road is under construction so getting around can be tricky, for example the walk to the beach. I would still highly recommend the property. Just go with a well stocked refridgerator and a transportation plan.

The property is wonderful, the rooms could use some updating, but the grounds and the views breathtaking! Wendy was everything! Made up for a lot. No real beach access, it’s a hillside property. They need better signage out front.

Beautiful, peaceful, old world charm property. Stunning views and great food! The manager at the property was not warm and welcoming at all. Otherwise great stay!

I took a solo trip ti Jamaica and spent a week of my time at Goblin Hill which was nothing short of phenomenal. The front desk staff couldn’t do enough to make my stay comfortable and the touch added by the personal chef meant that the food was perfect!
I would not hesitate to recommend Goblin Hill and will be back on my next trip to Jamaica

Landscaping was very nice. Staff I encountered was terrible. There wasn’t even a welcome and we had to find the villa on our own. The receptionist first remarked was “I don’t know why expedia allow you to book for one night, we don’t do that!”Worst customer service ever at Goblin Hill. I’m happy I only book for one night because I would’ve left after the first night anyway. The property is only surviving off good will. There a is no restaurant onsite as advertised you’ll definitely starve after 5pm and the pool was extremely dirty.

The landscape was extremely beautiful! The view of the ocean from our bedroom was breathtaking. The bathrooms in our villa needs renovating they are somewhat dated with chipped tiles on the shower floor. there is no cable TV in the villa ,if you want to watch cable you have to walk down to the lounge at reception.
Thanks to Odane the porter/bell hop,lanscaper,tour guide,mr fix it for his assistance throughout our stay.We had a great stay and would definately go back.

Really regret making this booking. For the price we paid, we were expecting full amenities and great service, but our stay was terrible. The hotel and grounds are beautiful, but that's really the only positive. We had to hunt someone down every time we needed something- even in the restaurant/ bar, there was never anyone on staff. They nickle and dimed us for absolutely everything- even the cheapest hotels I stay at will at least give you a small bottle of water in your room, but here we got nothing. There were a lot of frustrating, insulting moments with the staff, but the worst was when I tried to use their laundry service. I asked for my clothes back the next day, but when I got back to my room I realized they hadn't been touched. When I went back to the front desk to complain, I got zero apology or explanation, and of course they still charged me full price plus gratuity for doing it the second time. This hotel really shouldn't advertise itself as a hotel or resort- it's more like short-term apartment rentals.

The setting at Goblin Hill is gorgeous. Lush green property with a stunning view. However the villas are in need of some extermination and new linens. Our towels has blood stains and floors were covered with ants. To be fair, we only stayed one night so we never gave the property a chance to fix anything to move us but I was disappointed for the price. Would likely not stay there again.

Goblin Hill Villas is such a beautiful property. First, it's vast. There's so much space to just walk around and the views are gorgeous. I've been to Port Antonio multiple times and never considered staying here. I'm so happy we did. It was probably the nicest property we've stayed at in this area and we're definitely going to return. The staff were all super friendly and everything just seemed organized.

We had a fabulous time at Goblin Hill! It is very beautiful and everyone was so accommodating. Many thanks to Kevin the gardener for the wonderful fresh coconut water. And to Courtney, Damen, Al and Derron and our housekeeper Marlene for all their excellent service! If we ever get back to that part of the world again, we will be back. Loved Goblin Hill.

Such a beautiful spot, perched on a hill overlooking beautiful coves and the sea beyond. An easy walk to the famous Blue Lagoon. Quiet and lovely and welcoming. We so enjoyed the rum punch on the lawn with local musicians. And our amazing deck was a perfect place to get a massage the hotel staff set up for us. We had a lovely lady and grntleman who take care of our food needs and transportation. Private luxury has never come at such a reasonable price!! Would stay here again for sure!!

I had such an amazing time in this hotel. The area is beautiful with lush nature. The staff was helpful and friendly and the food in the restaurant was the best I’ve eaten in Portland. I had such an amazing time and will for sure come back soon again!

There were a couple staying in the villas 5 units down from were we were staying but they insisted on sitting in the chairs in front of our unit and the manager of Goblin hill refused to do anything about it. Teresa our cook and housekeeper was excellent. the bed was difficult to sleep on because of the ware and tear on the mattress causing indentations.the fan in the bedroom clicks all night. They did try to come and fix it.
4.0 / 10.0
The overall was decent. Our judgement might be influenced by the hotel we stayed in Ocho Rios which was just perfect. But trying to be objective, the villa had a lovely view and lots of space for just 2 people. Kitchen though was a bit small but did the job.
The shame is that the villas didn’t have the same colonial style than the main house with the reception and restaurant. They were more classic.
The location is good, just across from Blue Lagoon and nearby Frenchman Cove. Also just a 10 min drive from the beautiful Boston beach.
So yes I would still recommend it if you are looking for convenience at a decent price.

We loved everything about Goblin Hill! The view from our villa was beautiful, and two beaches were a short walk away. If we wanted to go farther, it was easy to get a driver (usually Ricky) to take us. The highlight of our holiday, however, was our housekeeper/cook Cynthia. It was so nice to wake up in the morning or come back from the beach and not have to think about where or what we were going to eat. Our breakfast and dinner were always ready, based on our preferences. Fried plantain and bananas, ackee and saltfish, jerk chicken, curried chicken, rice and peas, pineapple cake, coconut pie ... everything was absolutely amazing!

Goblin hills villas at San San are very spacious and fully equipped. There is a complementary cook and the staff is extremely friendly and will do their best to accommodate all your needs. The view is beautiful and it is walking distance from the Blue Lagoon and Monkey island. The location is surrounded by luxurious nature and it is a very quiet and relaxin atmosphere. Perfect place for an amazing get away, thanks to the wonderful staff :)

Had a lovely time as per usual at Goblin Hills. Went there often as a child and I was not disappointed returning as an adult. Michelle was our cook and she was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to go back!

The Goblin Hill Villas is absolutely amazing for the kind of vaca I needed - rest, serenity, good food, sun!!!! The grounds are spectacular. The view from my villa breathtaking. The housekeeper did a super job on keeping the villa clean and did her best to prepare the meals I requested. She brought fresh hibiscus flowers each day - delightful - and they became the object of many of my pix. All the staff were friendly. It was a splendid visit which I plan to repeat!!!!

This property is lovely. The gardens are lush and the view from this hill of the coastline is breath taking. The staff was very accommodating. Ellen cooked bought us ackees and green bananas in the local market and cooked us a Jamaican style breakfast which we had on our balcony overlooking the gardens and ocean.

Tranquil and private with personal housekeeper/chef. Everything fresh and made daily per our requests. Calm quiet place in an excellent location on top of a hill, Pool and lawn chairs and hammock included :-)
Our Housekeeper Genevive was so polite, hardworking and helpful! She kept our fresh limeade and soursop juice jugs filled and she is an excellent cook, with made to order dishes and fresh fruit always on hand. After dinner we had the option of watching movies on the Roku or listening to Music. We used our iTunes radio a lot and spent our evenings reading and catching up.
The staff here are always available to you wish is very nice, you have a sense that you are important to them!
We will definitely be back and may try the 2 bedroom unit and bring friends.

Awesome Villa experience, staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Spectacular views of San San beach and dragon bay, walking distance to Blue Lagoon. Very private, clean, and comfortable villas. Housekeeping was superb! Yaneik was great, she was a chaperone, chef, housekeeper, and friend. Fresh cooked Jamaican meals beat out any all inclusive resort we have ever been to. We will definately return to this hotel.
