Guest Reviews

• aidan (10/5): - Our stay was nice! Actually had the entire property to ourselves! However I believe that may have come at a price of no bar/restaurant services, we are very adaptable and understanding so it was not a big issue. Property is amazing! Will return when back in Jamaica!
• Darailis (6/5): - El personal amable, la habitacion bien, pero el hotel esta en reparaciones y no hubo previo aviso
• Marsha (2/5): - I really hate to give them 1 star. The view is to die for and the place is clean. Clearly the owners have the best intentions. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST. We are returning Jamaicans. I want to subjectively declare that there is a disparity in the service and treatment offered to us than those of our traditional tourist counterparts 1. There was no record of our reservation 2. There was no hot water in the shower and I had the NERVE to insist on wanting a room with hot water. I was told “the water isn’t cold”. I insisted on it and we were given a different room… as per Rose, she took care of it for us 3. The sink pipe barely has water coming out… don’t worry, I didn’t complain as the tub had hot water. 4 The sliding doors are extremely difficult to slide— don’t bother just squeeze sideways unto the porch! We got a beautiful breakfast 2 days in a row I believe compliments of Rose. On our third day we were scheduled to leave at 9:30 Breakfast was usually served at 9, there was none. Not even an offering of tea or juice. All the workers were sitting around talking until the new guest from the previous night came down. They were greeted warmly and offered an option of breakfast and served in front of us. When Rose was asked why the difference in treatment she once again took ownership and said “I just wasn’t in a working mood today”. Upon leaving, we gave her $20 tip anyway. 5. Let me emphasize that there are no stores in the immediate vicinity for someone to WALK to.
• CM (8/5): - Great Stay! Overall happy about the accommodations. If you book your stay at this location, be ready to show your booking at the desk for a smooth, quick, and easy check-in process. The restroom is nice and the linen was fresh.For the room my boyfriend and I stayed in, I would suggest replacing that chair that had old rusted legs. Also, add an additional nightstand on the other side of the bed. Thanks again!
• MICHELE (10/5): - The food was very delicious there was a variety you had the choice of American food or Jamaican food I love that option the premises was very clean the staff was very neat mannerable helpful all in all I will be returning again for the Fourth of July I look forward to returning
• Bob (2/5): - Manager not aware we were coming, no table or night stands, no lamps only bare bulb's on ceiling, no restaurant or menu, beach littered with junk and old car parts, sliding door lock broke, coffee so weak looked like dirty water, under construction and mashed up, will never finish
• Ricardo (10/5): - Everything good
• Marianela (10/5): - This is very nice place. AC, hot water, clean sheets and towels, tv etc. it is safe, quiet and CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT….which it was very convenient. “House-made food”, with the staff very approachable and willing to accommodate your need. If you text beforehand to the hotel’s number, they will answer you. I stayed there for 2 nights without any problems. It is a typical Jamaican colorful place, so if you are looking for the Marriott Marquis in NYC, this is not that luxurious place, but it’s coziness and warm environment will satisfy your trip. Thank you very much to the staff. I had a good time!
• Hycie (4/5): - Overpriced! No hot water, dirty beach and expensive food. No card machine, you're expected to walk around with loads of cash to pay. The receptionist Neisha was pleasant but I would not book here again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a great experience
• Tashai (10/5): - Had a great relaxing time. The place was quiet and clean. My rea
• Michelle (8/5): Most amazing place!! - Amazing place. Clean and hosts are great. Highly recommend!!
• Verified traveler (2/5): - First of all its into a narrow lane ,it was in the night by the time i got there and only to hear that there's no room available so i had to leave and went into Kingston to find a place to spend the night i was driving all night until 12 am just to get a room
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Little pool which is ok for kids, with lights. Beach not so great. Nice little eating area and kitchen. Nice views up the beach of little mountains. AC and bathrooms are fine. A little tricky to find, but very convenient to airport!
• Dariusz (10/5): Place to stay - Inexpensive and convenient location
• Verified traveler (2/5): - It was in a terrible neighborhood and was very poor condition.
• Christophe (10/5): a connaître 👍👍et à retenir - Très bel hôtel très calme la chambre est spacieuse propre la salle de bain est propre et très pratique. Nous y sommes restés 1 nuit un très bon stop pour commencer ou terminer votre voyage en Jamaïque. Le personnel est super gentil ils ont toujours un petit mot sympa. Très belle endroit pour se reposer. Les repas sont bon et copieux.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - i enjoyed entire stay and everyone. Really pleasant people..
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing view great staff. I highly recommend this place.
• Trisha (10/5): Even more beautiful in person - This is such a beautiful place! The view was breathtaking. The staff was amazing and made my best friend and I feel at home. Definitely a place to go to if you want to get away from the busy parts of Kingston.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The property was off the beaten path, very quiet, and had a wonderful ambiance with waves lashing the shores right behind the building. We had a room with a balcony which overlooked the sea. I appreciate the fact that I wanted a room with a view which was not available at the time of check in but the staff did all they could to make this accommodation available for me. While the workers did everything possible to make our stay comfortable, it seems as if they are overworked and understaffed. Meals, although delicious, took a long time to prepare. If you are the only guest wishing for a cooked dinner on premises, you are out of luck as it is not practical to cook for one or two people. Apparently they recently went through a staff change and are trying to keep the pace, so what I experienced is not what most previous reviews spoke of glowingly.
• Ashley (10/5): - I enjoyed my time here the staff were very accommodating. The meals they provided were delicious and authentic Jamaican cuisine.
• JonathanEGarner (10/5): - Before we got on the plane to head to Jamaica, I messaged the place to ask about late check-in and they responded very quickly, even asking what we wanted for supper when we arrived! We pulled up at around 8pm and rang the bell at the property's gate. A moment later a young woman came out and directed us in. She took us to our room and even offered to let us switch rooms if we didn't like the one she had allotted to us. We decided the original room was fine and she advised us to head down to the patio by the pools when we were ready to eat. We realized quickly that the lock to our room was broken and we were unable to gain access back to our room. The property immediately started working on getting the door fixed and let us move to a 2-bed room so our stuff could be secure. No paper work, or anything, just a simple transfer. They went the extra mile beyond that by providing certain comforts that we enjoyed at home, but were afraid we'd have to go without while on vacation. Each morning the property made us breakfast (jamaican or american) and every evening they made us supper (jamaican or american). Each breakfast came with a plate of fresh fruit for my wife and I to share as well as a hot tea and coffee. The bananas, y'all, are out.of.this.world. They offered to take us around town and to help us get around in places that tourist may not be as welcomed. By the end of the trip, we felt we had made new friends. More on google maps reviews!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I only stayed for a few hours but the attendant was very accommodating. He cooked a meal for me and made sure the Netflix was on so that I could catch up on my shows while waiting for my connecting flight. Despite the accommodations, the room I was in had a beautiful ocean view! The only down side which I didn’t think was a downside was that the place was hard to find and there was a lot of construction happening around the property so your views are limited, still breathtaking though!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Safe Kingston Relaxing Stay - If you are traveling near the Kingston area, definitely stay here! The host could not be more accommodating and made sure that we had everything that we could possibly need. We felt extremely safe because once we drove onto the property, the gate was locked behind us keeping us separated from the rest of the neighborhood. The host made a delicious delicious dinner for us which we ate on the patio overlooking the ocean. I missed my dog, but the adorable property dog Xena filled that void as she hung out with us by the pool. We stayed one night here on our way through and it was perfect. It was also extremely clean.
• Nicola (8/5): amazing - This place was very beautiful. we enjoyed the food, the pool and the staff. Mr GQ make sure that our needs were met. I would certainly go back
• Godhuli (8/5): - The place is right next to the ocean and the view is breathtaking. Away from the busy city so you can get some peace and quiet. Has a nice pool and a bar. The best part was the homemade breakfast in the morning. The staff was very nice and attentive. Will recommend visiting.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I loved the treatment I received from the staff and I did not want to leave they made me feel very welcome
• Drew (8/5): - GQ and his staff were absolutely amazing! They were very attentive and accommodated all of our requests, from the music, food, and transportation (we didn't use the transp but was informed it's an additional service if needed). This place was clean, everyday someone was cleaning the Guesthouse which was reflected in it's frangrance and appearance. The roads adjacent to the their property are terrible just about every where. You will damage your vehicle ... we did. Get full coverage auto ins if renting a vehicle. We did! The view was breathtaking and relaxing! I was there for a funeral and found this affordable hidden gem. It was meant to be because we'll definitely be back at the Guesthouse!
• anthony (10/5): A taste of paradise - Excellent view of sea and hills from patio and room. Can hear the waves on the shore in the room - -sounds beautiful at night. Everything was in good condition. Safe, quiet location. Incredibly hospitable service. Absolutely delicious home-cooked meals served on the covered patio where you can see and hear the water and hang out with other guests if you like - also well-stocked bar, small outdoor pools, and area to catch the sun. Access to a pebble beach. It would be a very bad idea to come to the Kingston area and not spend at least a few nights here!
• Julian (10/5): - The property is very clean and comfortable. I felt like I was at home my entire stay. The guest house is close to Norman Manley Intl Airport, Kingston and allows easy access to the Mineral Bath Springs St. Thomas. GQ was an awesome host and did everything he could to make us comfortable. He is an excellent chef! We will be back next year!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The host, GQ, is what made our stay so enjoyable. It seemed as if he never slept as he was always there making sure we had food and drinks. He was friendly and accomodating. The place was clean and well kept. I recommend staying here to anyone visiting Kingston or St Thomas as it is close to the airport and Kingston, yet away from noise. Thank you, GQ.
• Jennifer (10/5): - GQ was an awesome host! It seemed he never slept as he was always available to make sure we had what we needed and prepared delicious Jamaican meals and fresh squeezed juice. The guest house was clean and comfortable. I loved the infinity pool and the pools were clean. I recommend staying here if you are visiting Kingston or St. Thomas as it is close to Norman Manley Airport and Kingston, yet away from noise. Big up yourself, GQ!!!!! See you next year!!!!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - I loved that this place was off the beaten path quite and relaxing. It was very safe and GQ was very attentive even though he was working alone this weekend. The rooms were large and had an amazing ocean view.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The is good and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.
• Jordan (6/5): - When we walked up, the place appeared to be completely under construction and there was no official front desk, looked like someone's very dirty living room/office. GQ was the man who greeted us. He was very nice but it was hard to tell if he was official hotel staff or a construction worker. The rooms were nicely decorated, had AC, Netflix and were very clean. No fridge. GQ was very kind and drove us to the nearby tuck shop where we got some delicious fried chicken. The patio is really great, pretty views and a nice pool. GQ also gave us a ride to the airport rather early in the morning. GQ is the man! However, the Wellness Center itself appears to be in a state of construction and you can tell we were there during the off season. Maybe we would try it again once it is fully up and running next year.
• Tasha (10/5): - Great... Really enjoyed my stay....
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice - Very beautiful place and nice staff. Food was very good and easy to get.
• David (10/5): Stay and enjoy BLS Wellness! - Overnight getaway. Nice, clean, very welcoming. Treated amazingly. Food was delicious and plentiful, and reasonably priced. Room view was fantastic! The manager, GQ, did all he could to make our stay terrific.
• Nancy (10/5): Awesome place! Must see! - This is a unique place. Off the beaten path, but fabulous. It is a brightly painted, multi-colored place, with everything you need, right on the ocean. Rustic, but extremely clean and comfortable. We did not lack for anything. The best part was the manager, Mr. GQ. He's awesome, super sweet and accommodating. Tried very hard to please us, got us everything we asked for with a big smile. We wish we could've stayed longer. This is a place to find yourself, rest, enjoy the peace, swim and tan in privacy. Just beautiful. We'll be back soon. Wuth friends.
• Gary (6/5): Too expensive - At $125 plus tax the price is way out of line. Should have been $85 plus tax. There we no other guests there - wonder why. Food was good and staff helpful
• Meghan (10/5): Last Night in Jamaica - I booked a room here because it is close to the airport, and my flight was leaving early in the morning. What a great place for our last night in Jamaica! We spent the afternoon and evening by the pool relaxing, eating delicious curry goat and chicken, and watching fisherman cast their nets and bring in their hauls. GQ was the ultimate host and paid attention to every detail! I would definitely recommend the BLS Wellness Guest House to anyone looking for a carefree time in Kingston.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Awesome place to stay!!!!! - The staff, GQ and Keisha were so awesome! The room was huge, beds were so comfortable! We had a two queen bed room! The ac worked perfectly. The tvs had Netflix. The WiFi was fast! Only actual good WiFi in all of our stays in Jamaica. Close to the airport if you don’t want to venture into Kingston. We arrived late and didn’t know where to eat in the area and GQ went to get us dinner and brought it back for us. We had goat curry and it was honestly the best meal we had in Jamaica! He also made us an unbelievably generous complimentary breakfast in the am that was ready early for our departure! The pool area is right over lookingthe ocean and absolutely gorgeous! When you sleep it is so peaceful to hear the sound of the ocean. We only stayed one night but we wished we stayed longer. Staff is so accOmodating and chill! Would absolutely stay here again! Already miss the staff!
