Geejam

This was my second time staying at Geejam. I returned because my first stay was memorable and exceptional. I stayed in a Rumba room with an expansive view of the Caribbean Sea, surrounded by lush tropical rainforest. The room was beautiful and spacious with a large shower and lux soaker tub. The room had a large balcony where I admired the vibrant colours of the sky at sunset and enjoyed the hummingbirds zipping by. The staff were kind, attentive and friendly, greeting them was a highlight, everyday. The food was delicious with diverse options to choose from, and they catered to my dietary restrictions which I appreciated. The fried dumplings and Blue Mountain coffee are a must. There are an abundance of beaches near by, including the Geejam beach where I spent some time, it was peaceful and relaxing. The team helped to coordinate spa services for me as well as excursions and transportation which provided me with an opportunity to experience some of Jamaica’s most beautiful locations. On this trip, I chose to do the Rio Grande rafting and during the previous visit I went to Frenchman’s Cove, Boston beach and I did a hike to Nanny Falls. I also visited Reach falls, located in a Montane Forest in the John Crow Mountain range, to hike, swim in the natural pools and to learn about the biodiversity of the area. All of these excursions were within a reasonable distance. Travelling through many small villages and cities on the way, I took in the scenery, peace and periodic resonance of booming bass. One of the highlights of my stay was participating in a behind the scenes tour of the studio, with other guests, facilitated by Steve. Steve was great and he shared about their creative process, history and story. My wish was for a quiet getaway to relax and enjoy Jamaica- Geejam did not disappoint. Happy travels.

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!

This hotel is truly amazing and I would go back again and again. Firstly, the check in was smooth, our room was clean, big and beautiful. Breakfast was included and every morning was a different Jamaican breakfast option. The GeeJam staff is exceptional, every single one of them. They made the experience so much better. The minibar was stocked and available to us at no additional cost. We looked forward to breakfast every morning and by the time we got our room at 10am it was already cleaned and ready for us. We felt like we were the only ones there even though other guests were on property just to give you an idea of how the hotel gives you this sense of seclusion. We have great views of the sea and also had a fabulous time by the GeeJam beach where we able snorkel and kayak at no additional cost. Lunch and dinner options were affordable and we got to tour the studios that have seems some of the world’s greatest musicians. Trust me 100/10! I WILL be back GeeJam. Thank you for the best vacation in Jamaica. Big up Zackeil and Jordan! From the Henlon’s

Awesome setting, lush with modern rustic decor. Delicious breakfast, wonderful amenities. The perfect romantic destination. A definite win if you stay at this hotel!

My stay at Geejam was a marvelous experience. The remarkable friendliness and service was outstanding and individualized. The location and accomodations were gorgeous. I would most certainly stay here for another trip.

One of the best experiences! Definitely enjoyed the top tier customer service; the warm and engaging staff...and going out to see the turtles and sting ray.... Definitely will be returning!
