The Green Wedding Week

We stayed at HHH for a week over Christmas and had friends and family arrive for the wedding festivities held on premises. The villa and the grounds are magical, and the food and staff are amazing. This is not a typical luxury estate but an old grand manor, with nooks and crannies for everyone to stay together or be separate to enjoy their favorite spot and relax in paradise. There was coffee on the terrace in the morning to watch the beautiful sunrise, and delicious appetizers before dinner during sunset. We always met for breakfast and lunch on the pergola and enjoyed the beautiful dining room for dinner. Chef Sheri Ann accommodated our allergies and dietary restrictions, which wasn’t easy with twelve of us but she went above and beyond and it was perfect (we suggest sitting down with her the first day to discuss the menu for the upcoming days). For the wedding itself, Brenda connected us to Charmaine at @weddingsbycharmaine who was the absolute best planner and coordinator. Charmaine learned about Jewish weddings and everything was perfect. Andy the driver made our week awesome - multiple airport pickups and drop offs and beaches and restaurants and shopping all over the island and he made it all happen, and he was great helping us plan our activities. The entire villa team was great, especially Chris, and they made our wedding week amazing. All in all, we highly recommend the villa and will forever be grateful for our week in paradise.

Amazing Family Retreat

We were so spoiled by Karl and all the staff. When members of our family got sick they made us soup, got us fresh coconuts to drink to help calm upset tummies, brought us food to our rooms, it was amazing. As a musical theatre geek this was a dream come true, I laid in bed and heard the hills come alive with the sounds of music, as the rain poured down, there was rain drop on roses. It was truly magical and an experience we will never forget. We can not wait to return to see our what has become our family in Jamaica, and bring even more family and friends with us. If you just want a low key relaxing holiday where you can make changes as you need, have a driver on call, and the best cooking on the island this place is for you.

Best trip of my lifetime!

I just spent four nights with 8 girlfriends, at the Highland House. We had the most wonderful pampering experience by the staff there. We were there for our own designed wellness retreat. Yoga in the yoga pavilion daily on property, via a path through the tropical gardens. Fresh coconut water, from the staff who climbed trees and used their machete to serve us poolside. Privacy and views that were breathtaking. Fresh papaya, and bananas daily , from the 17 acre gardens. Afternoon massages by the in-house masseuse~ best massages EVER~ And maybe my favorite treat, the African drum and dance performance on our final night. Not to be missed! This was the most authentic cultural experience. A close second to the food and service form the staff. Thank you Sheri, Karl, Romaine, Sasha, Donald.

Magical

HHH was magical for us, the staff was there to greet us with Rum punch & anything we needed during our stay. The rooms are very private and spread out across the property which we loved & still many gathering spaces for the group. Sheriann made wonderful meals. And Richard planned a drum performance for us in advance at the house. We can’t wait to go back!
