To stay in this traditional boardhouse evoked memories of childhood growing up in Jamaica. Jay’s team of people couldn’t have been more pleasant and went out of their way to look after us. A short but very sweet visit to the Blue Mountains!

Jay is very communicative and responsive via WhatsApp. He lets you know fees and activity options ahead of time, so you feel safe and clear of expectations. His family made us feel welcomed and appreciated. His mom Angela was so warm and always has a happy positive energy. Beautifully located with a great view of the blue mountain peak where guests can enjoy homemade breakfast on the big balcony facing the mountain. Highly recommend trying the homemade no sugar added sorrel and ginger juice with dinner, spiced oatmeal for breakfast and of course jay’s family’s own blue mountain coffee. A pleasure to stay and meet you all!

Staying with Jay at the upper house was like a home stay. Jays parents are very friendly and welcoming. The upper property is undergoing renovations that will be exciting in the next month or so. New private rooms with en suite bath and a large roof top terrace. This is also the closest property to the peak trail. You can walk right out the door and go or you can have a staff member drive you closer (cuts an hour off the hike) for $30usd each way. Other fees include $50usd each way from where you can park your rental care or get picked up from a bus. Dinner was about $12usd each. Guide fee is $60usd per group and then there’s a $20usd government charge to hike.

Staying at Jay's Guest House deep in the Blue Mountains was a great experience. It's an opportunity to get away from the typical tourist areas of Jamaica and have an authentic Jamaican experience. Jay has a wonderful family and they make you feel right at home. I would recommend the Blue Mountain peak sunrise hike and buying some of the best coffee I've ever had.
