Excellent stay at Jay's Guest House in Blue Mountain. Pick up in Kingston and drop off in Bull Bay. The Hike to Blue Mountain Peak was quite tuff but the goal was 100 % worth it. Jay's family and the staff including the guide and driver to the peak did excellent jobs to make our 2 nights stay at Jay's to a nonforgettable memory to put in our travel experience.

“They will make you feel as home”
The place is awesome, they treated us like family, served us the best food we tried in Jamaica and showed us the real essence of the country. It was a bit complicated to get there but they helped us any time and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our trip.

“Lovely stay in the mountains”
As you don't have much options when going for the sunrise hike to top of the Blue Mountain, this place is nice, up in the mountains with beautiful view, owners are very friendly. They provide all the services you need for your hike including pick ups. Dinner and breakfast were tasty, however 20 dollars per dinner is quite a lot.

“Good place for a short sleep before the night hike to the summit ! Coffee available too for purchase”
Amazing views over the mountains. A bit far from the beginning of the peak trail so adjust your departure time accordingly. Lamoy was super helpful, he got me the entrance ticket the day before the hike and the breakfast was delicious ! Excellent wifi too.

“Friendly family run guest house in a peaceful location”
The Jackson family and everyone working at the guest house were really friendly and welcoming. It was such a treat to have lovely homecooked meals and Sandra took into account all our dietary needs. This is the perfect place to do the Blue Mountain Peak hike, which was stunning. The beds were super comfy!

“Nice place”
The location is beautiful, you can disconnect and feel closer to nature. It is also perfect for a hike to the Blue Mountain Peak. The wooden hut is basic, but you have all that you need. Most importantly, Jay's family and the staff are very warm and welcoming people.

Excellent location to get on to the Blue Mountain Peak. We stayed in the newly built Jay's Guesthouse 2 in which we had a very nice room and terrace with view of the Blue Mountains. Great Breakfast and Dinner, too. Last but not least, the host Angela and everyone else were extremely nice and made this a very memorable part of our travel to Jamaica.

“This was our best experience in Jamaica.”
Maybe the kindest people in Jamaica. Miss Jacksons smile and laugh was a special highlight for us. Very authentic experience. The house was nice and clean. The guesthouse arranged a tour to the summit of blue mountain with sunrise and we had a great trip. The food was good and was made of local and traditional Jamaican crops.

“Amazing experience, perfect for Blue Mountain hike!”
Amazing experience! perfectly located near the Blue Mountain trail. Jay did everything he could do to make our stay as comfortable as possible and organised everything so we could hike to the peak! The whole Jackson family were very welcoming with lovely home cooked food and a great room with an excellent shower, perfect for after the hike! Transport transfers were good and easy and can’t forget about the coffee, don’t miss out! highly recommend for Blue Mountain visits!
