Guesthouse

The Blue Mountains

Guesthouses vary in Jamaica from serious operations that register high occupancy levels throughout the year to more informal homestay arrangements like those available in the Windward Maroon stronghold of Moore Town. Guesthouses are defined by the on-site presence of the owners in either case, as opposed to hotels, which typically have different ownership and management.

Forres Park

Forres Park Guest House and Spa (US$75-220) is the best option for bird-watchers and hikers, especially for groups looking to stay in the immediate vicinity of Mavis Bank. A two-story main house and four cabins are surrounded by a small coffee farm that attracts many endemic and migratory bird species. The large veranda is a great vantage point, as all three of Jamaica’s hummingbirds--vervain, Jamaica mango, and streamertail--frequent the bushes all around the chalet-style main house.
