The CJ Cool List – the Caribbean’s 10 Coolest Hotels for 2013
Rockhouse – Jamaica
Jamaica’s tourism sector has been showing improvement over the last few years out of the downturn. But while Montego Bay and larger resorts still bring the most tourists, it’s the small properties that are the pulse of Jamaica’s product. At its core is Negril — and Rockhouse — which is, well, not like any other hotel in the country. Perhaps Jamaica’s top boutique property, Rockhouse is located on an eight-acre site on the cliffs of Negril’s Pristine Cove. It’s also notable for its architecture — a series of thatched-roof cottages overlooking a picturesque cove. Rockhouse is definitely worth the trip.
