The property is rustic and very clean! Our stay was very tranquil and peaceful. It was a pleasure falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the nearby river. The overall surrounding is very pleasing to the eyes with vegetation and nature all around. Breakfast was good and special mention must be made of perhaps the best lemonade we have had in along while!

An eco friendly resort with a beautiful river running through property. Very relaxing and unique. You need a 4wd as drive down from redlight challenging road. Great as an alternative to Kingston for a few days. Quiet and relaxing. Accommodation is fine but not luxury. Environment is luxury. River dip is lovely and waterfall gorgeous.

Hide-a-way Paradise

Although it was difficult to find in the dark and wouldn't recommend traveling there in a low clearance vehicle, the place was beautiful and tranquil. Food and service was friendly and welcoming. The showers are difficult to get a warm temperature, it seemed to be either hot or cold lol, wasn't able to find a way to mix the two. But who cares when you relax on a hammock on your balcony being serenaded by the river!

Difficult to access gem

Really cool spot with a waterfall and small swimming pool on the property. No AC, but fans and cool open rooms. It’s a very difficult and long windy road to get here. Ensure that you let them know that you will want dinner before arriving as there is no where else to eat.

What a lovely visit! Beautiful, great service, "quiet" (waterfall is loud butvthats awesome), quirky, and we loved it! The proberty has some ongoing projects so be prepared to go over the gravel pile and past construction, but beyond all that is magical. The mountain and the driveway are hard going, but that's the case in Jamaica overall, and this is no exception. Have 4 wheel drive and drive carefully, and it's all cool.

My second visit. Great location surrounded by interesting places to visit with some wonderful hikes around the coffee farms and streams. My room was lovely. Clean. Comfortable and had its own balcony with hammock and chairs overlooking the tropical gardens. Relaxing on the terrace listening to Reggae whilst sipping a beer was perfect. Only the sound of the stream and Bob Marley. As i wake early and go out i was permitted to make my own breakfast each day at 7am. Eggs, toast and coffee. A freindly atmosphere with a chilled-out vibe. All the staff were helpful and chatty. A salon and Spa too. Very safe at night.

A unique experience!

Quiet, secluded location, beautiful surroundings, terrific food, thoughtful staff and clean facilities. The facility is being built a section at a time and has a homey, handmade feel. Rooms are named, not numbered, and are themed (the Africa Room, the M.C. Escher Room, etc.) Rooms are spacious, comfortable and imaginatively decorated. Facilities include a spacious lounge, generous outdoor seating and a full self-service bar. The property includes several footpaths, including one to a waterfall. Highly recommended. The only challenge is getting there!

I stayed one night at RafJam with my mom. The property was gorgeous! There was a steam flowing through the side and rear or the property and had a cool dripping area and two mini falls. The sound of the stream, birds and beautiful flora and fauna was accident perfect for the relaxing trip we were looking for. We pre ordered dinner and breakfast was served. Both delicious. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and exceeded my expectations in this area. Suzanne the owner and Shane were very welcoming and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again but LONGER and recommend to anyone looking for something off the beaten path. Finding the place was a bit difficult and would recommend a call to the property before heading out and getting additional directions. There was also construction when we visited but that didn’t interrupt our trip. Book today and stay awhile and enjoy nature at this naturally beautiful property.
