MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica– Visitors interested in an authentic cultural experience can visit Jamaica, one of the few destinations that offers a variety of small inns from luxury to budget-friendly properties.
These properties thrive on their ability to make the guest experience as personalized as possible, with home-cooked meals, butler services and in-room spa treatments, ensuring relaxation and rejuvenation throughout the duration of their stay.
“Jamaica is the melting pot of the Caribbean and there is no better way to truly have a genuine experience than to stay at a small, intimate property to get to know our people and our cuisine,” said Paul Pennicook, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism. “Their goal is to unite the intimacy of your home and the warmth of our Caribbean hospitality.”
The Home of All Right has small inns located all over the island.
Below is a sampling of properties:

The twelve deluxe Georgian-style cottages are most famously known for being a sanctuary for Bob Marley in the mid-1970s. Today, it hosts musicians, artists, and travelers alike. www.strawberryhillhotel.com
