My wife and I spend the first week of our Jamaican Honeymoon at Goblin Hill. The views are really awesome and the grounds are beautiful and immaculately well kept. Better kept than a golf course, the property is tremendous. The villas are well kept and the staff is friendly and accommodating. We bought some fresh caught lobsters at Boston Beach... More

We stayed by the special ocean view villa. The view was AMAZING. Very peaceful, beautiful and relaxing place. The grounds/gardens are well kept and the villa appeared to be very clean. The bathroom and some parts of the villa needs some renovating or a modern touch but overall a good experience. The housekeeper was very pleasant and the food was... More

The view from our room was amazing, the grounds were pretty and the layout of the villas was great. However the hotel had seen better days. Tiles were replaced with unmatched times, the laminate in the kitchen was coming off in parts, the upholstery was faded. It was nice to have Elaine as our house cook. She was helpful in... More
