Best trip of my lifetime!

I just spent four nights with 8 girlfriends, at the Highland House. We had the most wonderful pampering experience by the staff there. We were there for our own designed wellness retreat. Yoga in the yoga pavilion daily on property, via a path through the tropical gardens. Fresh coconut water, from the staff who climbed trees and used their machete to serve us poolside. Privacy and views that were breathtaking. Fresh papaya, and bananas daily , from the 17 acre gardens. Afternoon massages by the in-house masseuse~ best massages EVER~ And maybe my favorite treat, the African drum and dance performance on our final night. Not to be missed! This was the most authentic cultural experience. A close second to the food and service form the staff. Thank you Sheri, Karl, Romaine, Sasha, Donald.

Magical

HHH was magical for us, the staff was there to greet us with Rum punch & anything we needed during our stay. The rooms are very private and spread out across the property which we loved & still many gathering spaces for the group. Sheriann made wonderful meals. And Richard planned a drum performance for us in advance at the house. We can’t wait to go back!

Timeless charm

I read up on this property. The villa used to be owned by Oscar Hammerstein and you could almost feel his presence throughout. I can only imagine the inspiration he must have drawn for his work from the views, foliage and peacefulness not to mention the culture unique to this island nation. Negril is a short drive where I saw some of the most beautiful beaches and waters one could imagine. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the staff. From Sheri’s culinary skills to Karl’s professionalism, it was the staff that truly made everything work. I’ll be back!
