Overview
Since it opened in 1953 a little more than 8 miles west of Montego Bay, Jamaica, the Round Hill Hotel and Villas has played host to the likes of Grace Kelly, Cole Porter and Jackie Kennedy, among other celebrities. Guests say it's the property's setting that makes this boutique resort timeless and elegant. Inside the hotel's 36 guest rooms, travelers will find furniture designed by Ralph Lauren and embellished in whites, pinks and blues, plus four-poster beds and rain showers. Round Hill's 27 villa suites boast open-air living rooms and verandas, along with two to six bedrooms and cottage housekeepers (who will cook you breakfast for an additional fee). Some villas are also home to private pools surrounded by lush foliage. Although many visitors rave about the views from their accommodations, several caution that digs here are outdated. Reviewers also give mixed feedback about the resort's service. Round Hill offers a wide selection of activities for those who want to venture outside their rooms, including tennis, water sports and spa treatments in a restored 18th-century plantation house. After a fun-filled day in the sun, guests may dine at a restaurant headed by James Beard Award-winning chef Martin Maginley or sip cocktails at one of three bars. All-inclusive packages are available for travelers who wish to enjoy all of their meals and drinks on-site.

A west shore institution, Round Hill is one of the places that put Jamaican tourism on the map. Over the years, many a famous name has slept here, from presidents and prime ministers to movie stars and professional athletes.
Round Hill aims for that private island feel, and is a place to relax: There are no TVs in the rooms (though there is shared one in a lounge). Breakfast, cooked to order, is served on your own villa, afternoon tea is complimentary, and the James Beard Award–winning chef makes use of the hotel's own organic garden for his upscale Jamaican cuisine at the restaurant.
A favorite of celebrities and other wealthy people thanks to its private, elegant villas, this peaceful resort west of Mo'Bay also has stylish hotel rooms in the Pineapple House. These rooms are decorated in a refined Ralph Lauren style done by the designer himself, who has property on the resort's 98 acres.
Today the legendary 30-acre resort is a sight to behold: It features 27 stunning villas and 36 oceanfront guestrooms in the resort's Ralph Lauren-designed Pineapple House. There's an old school cocktail bar peppered with black-and-white photographs of esteemed guests from way back when.
