Hide-a-way Paradise

Although it was difficult to find in the dark and wouldn't recommend traveling there in a low clearance vehicle, the place was beautiful and tranquil. Food and service was friendly and welcoming. The showers are difficult to get a warm temperature, it seemed to be either hot or cold lol, wasn't able to find a way to mix the two. But who cares when you relax on a hammock on your balcony being serenaded by the river!

My stay at Rafjam was absolutely incredible! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel right at home. The lush surroundings and serene ambiance of this hidden gem provided the perfect escape from my daily life. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed, blending seamlessly with the natural beauty of the area. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of my stay was enjoyable, offering personalized service and genuine care. If you're looking to relax by a river or just unwind in a tranquil setting, Rafjam offers an great experience. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

I stayed one night at RafJam with my mom. The property was gorgeous! There was a steam flowing through the side and rear or the property and had a cool dripping area and two mini falls. The sound of the stream, birds and beautiful flora and fauna was accident perfect for the relaxing trip we were looking for. We pre ordered dinner and breakfast was served. Both delicious. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and exceeded my expectations in this area. Suzanne the owner and Shane were very welcoming and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again but LONGER and recommend to anyone looking for something off the beaten path. Finding the place was a bit difficult and would recommend a call to the property before heading out and getting additional directions. There was also construction when we visited but that didn’t interrupt our trip. Book today and stay awhile and enjoy nature at this naturally beautiful property.

My second visit. Great location surrounded by interesting places to visit with some wonderful hikes around the coffee farms and streams. My room was lovely. Clean. Comfortable and had its own balcony with hammock and chairs overlooking the tropical gardens. Relaxing on the terrace listening to Reggae whilst sipping a beer was perfect. Only the sound of the stream and Bob Marley. As i wake early and go out i was permitted to make my own breakfast each day at 7am. Eggs, toast and coffee. A freindly atmosphere with a chilled-out vibe. All the staff were helpful and chatty. A salon and Spa too. Very safe at night.

Amazing experience, a little piece of paradise in the middle of the Blue mountain. Not very accessible by car. Room and amenities were great (Internet, games, TV). Food was delicious (we ordered dinner and breakfast). My best experience during the full trip.

An eco friendly resort with a beautiful river running through property. Very relaxing and unique. You need a 4wd as drive down from redlight challenging road. Great as an alternative to Kingston for a few days. Quiet and relaxing. Accommodation is fine but not luxury. Environment is luxury. River dip is lovely and waterfall gorgeous.

The property is rustic and very clean! Our stay was very tranquil and peaceful. It was a pleasure falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the nearby river. The overall surrounding is very pleasing to the eyes with vegetation and nature all around. Breakfast was good and special mention must be made of perhaps the best lemonade we have had in along while!

What a lovely visit! Beautiful, great service, "quiet" (waterfall is loud butvthats awesome), quirky, and we loved it! The proberty has some ongoing projects so be prepared to go over the gravel pile and past construction, but beyond all that is magical. The mountain and the driveway are hard going, but that's the case in Jamaica overall, and this is no exception. Have 4 wheel drive and drive carefully, and it's all cool.

A unique experience!

Quiet, secluded location, beautiful surroundings, terrific food, thoughtful staff and clean facilities. The facility is being built a section at a time and has a homey, handmade feel. Rooms are named, not numbered, and are themed (the Africa Room, the M.C. Escher Room, etc.) Rooms are spacious, comfortable and imaginatively decorated. Facilities include a spacious lounge, generous outdoor seating and a full self-service bar. The property includes several footpaths, including one to a waterfall. Highly recommended. The only challenge is getting there!

We never arrived because it's off a horrible dirt road with latge pot holes and large rocks our car got stuck the tires kept spinning in the dirt and going no where You need a 4x4 vehicle to navigate that horrible unmantained dirt road Location is on a hill far away of St Andrew city area. Not close to anything that is mentioned on Expedia When we called Raf Jam to inform them that Expedia did not say anything about a dirt road or need for a 4x4 or tall vehicle get to Raf Jam and cancel reservations because out car got stuck. She was rude non shalant to call Expedia not her. When I tried calling Expedia customer Service listed I got recording in Jamaican saying call was a long distance. I would like a refund if possible. Very upsetting and poor experience Reason why I waited a few days before submitting this review. I am also requesting for Expedia Customer service to contact me.

Ein kleines Paradies. Aber kläre die Zufahrt ab. Lass dich abholen oder habe ein gutes Auto für die Strasse abseits der Newcastle Road (dirt road) und es gibt nur 1 Parkplatz! Sehr familiär und in der Natur. Jamaikanisches Frühstück war hervorragend.
