Geejam Hotel

We loved our stay at Geejam and just wish we had more time there! We stayed in a Rumba Room which was really spacious and had amazing artwork on the walls. There was a very relaxed vibe at the hotel, and the team were super friendly. It is a short walk down to the beach which is perfect for swimming in the bay or paddle boarding with sea turtles! We also did a tour of the recording studio with owner Steve which was a real highlight. In general the surrounding area felt a lot less touristy than other parts of the island which was very refreshing. Can't wait to go back!

Geejam is a wonderful place -- the rooms are beautiful and well-appointed with fantastic local art and thoughtful touches. The bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever had in a hotel, and everything is meticulously clean. Despite being in the middle of the rain forest, I never saw bugs or lizards in my room. The system of texting guest services works well and the staff is warm and kind. The views are ridiculous, loved the pool and the vibe. It was great to come back from a day of exploring and just relax in the Bushbar with a drink (the rum punch is delicious). There are some great parties and the owner Steve was kind enough to invite us. He also greeted us several times and checked to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I would note that there isn't a true "sandy beach" but there is a nice area by the water where you can lay out or take free kayaks to explore. The only downside is how long it takes to get food. In the restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner we typically had to wait 1-1.5 hours for our meal to be delivered to the table. For one group lunch, we pre-ordered the meals a week in advance and it still took one hour for drinks and two hours for everyone to be served food. Even room service took over an hour for breakfast and I ended up having to cancel the order because I had plans and couldn't wait any longer. I really wanted to give Geejam five stars but I just couldn't because of this issue. The food was delicious so no complaints there at all. That said, there were some real stars. Ian is the hardest-working man in the restaurant! You can tell he gives his all to make sure guests are having a great time. Shane and Brian at the bar/restaurant are fantastic as well. Newton in guest services handled all of our requests quickly and was always pleasant and friendly. He helped coordinate transport to the local attractions and any random things that came up. He was definitely the MVP!

If you're looking for a rejuvenating retreat, inspiration, a romantic getaway, a music studio, a wedding or event, or just an alternative to the tourist trap, this place is for you! There are only a few units on the property, so this makes for a very private, intimate, and peaceful experience. I think the best word might be rejuvenating, really. We stayed in one of the more traditional hotel-like rooms, but they also have some amazing individual bungalows. Our room, named after reggae legend Peter Tosh, had an incredible view from everywhere, including the bathroom, where you could take a soak in the tub while seeing it all. And to make it all even more relaxing, they have a nice menu of ‘alternative medicines’ that you take advantage of. We were also fortunate to meet the owner who was on site and gave us a tour of their recording studio, along with some fun stories about famous music artists that have stayed there. The studio itself was fabulous, and good enough that they regularly host musicians who are looking for an inspirational setting and state of the art facilities. Love that you could have a massage in your own room, and my wife took full advantage. We also loved the quaint towns nearby, able to hang out on the beach, eat great jerk chicken and even get some surfing in. All-in-all, we couldn’t have been any happier with our stay. Highly recommend!

From arrival to departure the staff were amazing. We were also lucky enough to meet Steve one of the owners of the resort and he was great, took time to welcome all the guests at dinner individually. The food and drinks were great. All the staff were very friendly and attentive without being too much. The accommodation and view's were amazing. It was my first visit to Geejam but it certainly will not be my last, I loved it!!!

Amazing view and food! The charismatic and interesting Steve Beaver made myself and all our friends feel welcomed with his incredible stories. We had dinner, drinks, played pool, and listened to great music. Vibes were truly immaculate.
