High Hope Estate is classy but not stuffy, laid-back but sophisticated and a unique hill top experience in Jamaica. The breezes off the ocean caress and cool you. The view into St. Ann's Bay and the surrounding area are stunning. But the real beauty lies in the well-manicured gardens, the lovely flowers by the pool, the wonderfully designed main-house overlooking... more

A friend of ours based in Jamaica highly recommended High Hopes to my husband and i, and the reality was even better than we were led to believe.

A terrific experience! We were looking for a quiet place to decompress after spending a hectic week in Kingston. The web site looked very good, but as good as it was, it did not do justice to the place.

We stayed at High Hope Estate for one night only, but in retrospect, we wish we stayed longer. We actually got upgraded to a nicer room. The property is absolutely gorgeous with wonderful views and the owners & staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful. Richie surprised us with a very secluded and romantic candle lit dinner for us. We're already... more

High Hope Estate has it all - wonderful views, great food, comfortable rooms, lovely gardens, a nice pool, superb service and friendly, gracious hosts. Ludo and Dennis make you feel like an old friend of the family come to stay at their fine country home. It's a welcome antithesis to the beachfront mega-resorts. I highly recommend dining at High Hope... more
