This was a great tour! So much history. The tour took an hour. The history and information was great, but there was very little time to enjoy and take in the artifacts. It would have been nice to have some time in the rooms to really look at everything. Although I wouldn't want the tour to be any longer. 1 hour was plenty, but a little time set a side to really take in the art would have been better.

The tour was amazing, Ricky our tour guide was an awesome and very knowledgeable commentator. Well worth the price for a tour to learn the history, and to see the many historical artifacts of the Legendary Bob Marley. My family and I enjoyed the experience.

Visiting the Bob Marley Museum was an incredible experience! Our guide, Irie Sue (Susan), was amazing her energy, humor, and deep knowledge carried us back in time to relive the life and legacy of Bob Marley. She made the tour unforgettable, sharing stories that brought his music and message of love and unity to life. The museum itself is full of history Bob’s home, studio, awards, and personal items are all preserved, giving a real sense of who he was beyond the music. You can feel his spirit in every room. If you’re in Kingston, this is a must-visit. And if you can, ask for Irie Sue as your guide—you won’t regret it!

I learnt so much history on the Greatest of all time. Photography is not allowed inside and I can't blame them, this is something you have to experience in person. Wonderful tour of the premises. Don't worry if you are a smoker there is a little treat at the end of the tour waiting.

It took us maybe about a hour to get in but we ate at the lil cafe and the food was so good. I would suggest going a lil bit earlier to eat there 1st! You won’t be disappointed 😋We could not video inside of the actual museum but it was very informative and fun! We got to record in his studio and see a lil film! Great Experience❤️💚💛

Nice place to visit when in Jamaica. Tour guide has amazing energy. It's a tour around the house, not much furniture left though. There's parking spot on premise. The turn into the house is pretty small so don't miss it.

Very lovely experience. You will learn a lot. You can take photos and videos in certain places that they allow you to. There is a hidden weed shop and place you can smoke as well. Wasn’t expecting that. Also make sure you check out. Tuff Gong

Well-curated work! This museum excellently contextualizes each gallery while remaining doable in around an hour. Surprisingly relevant and free on Sunday :)

Well worth visiting for the history, the art and the gift shop. $4 entry. Highly recommended

Very good value for money and lots to see - both temporary and permanent exhibitions. We learnt a lot about Jamaica and got to see some really spectacular art. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would strongly recommend.

A must visit if you are downtown Kingston and into the arts and culture of Jamaica. Will be back with my family.

It's a very interesting place to visit. Every Jamaican should at least see this place once, just to see the creations of various Jamaican artists. My only wish is that they should include more works from the rastafarian community as well as recent works from young up and coming artists. But aside from that, this place is great. The entire building is air conditioned and some parts of the floor are carpeted. Also there are seats provided to take a break. It costs only JMD$400 for adults to enter

The National Gallery was amazing. It was so well curated, very informative, and not expensive at all. I actually think they should charge tourists more. The PRESSURE exhibit and Kapo wing were both very impressive.

An amazing place to visit. Last visit was over 20 years ago. The atmosphere has changed slightly. All the works are so amazing and the staff are really helpful. Would recommend all ages to visit.

A bit run down but still A beautiful place to spend an afternoon. With enormous Beautiful exotic trees and curated gardens and lawns with gazebos and shaded places for picnics. The Chinese garden is especially impressive. The maze though cool was closed when I was there (you can sneak in though) the greenhouse also appeared to be in shambles.

It was a good experience. I went on a sunday and surprisingly the place was a bit full. The view was great. It has gazebos but the space is not really big enough for a lot of people. The view is great and the environment is relaxing too.

It was a nice experience, my daughter have seen all the animals there before but finding that one plant that closes up when she touched it was her first experience. I think it’s called shame old lady but I’m probably wrong.

Great for photo or video shoots of nature especially the lily pad ponds in rain during duck migrations, just bring an umbrella.

Was an enjoyable experience , a very good place to take someone on a date.

I will say it was really cool to see this place. I was a bit disappointed however as there seems to be so much more that could be done to enhance the experience. There is a water feature at the entrance that was not working when I got there. There were also other pools that were just stagnant water. Beyond those negatives, there is a variety of plants and trees to view. There was no entrance fee, but you will have to pay for parking. Once inside and on the grounds, you are free to walk, take pictures, and ai.pky enjoy the tranquility. I will go back. Maybe charging a small entrance fee could go a long way to help with the general upkeep of such a beautiful place.

This is a lovely botanical garden that showcases different cultures such as Indian, Chinese and Caribbean. The admission fee to park my car was reasonable (200JMD) and there was ample parking available when I visited. The garden is a wonderful place for those who enjoy birdwatching. The botanical gardens are an urban oasis within a bustling and hectic urban environment and a perfect place to relax and enjoy the magnificent tropical flora and fauna of Jamaica.

I visited Emancipation Park recently and honestly, it’s one of the nicest spots in Kingston. The place is so peaceful and beautifully maintained—perfect for walking, jogging, or just relaxing on the lawns. I really enjoyed the tropical gardens, the fountains, and how clean and inviting everything felt. The Redemption Song statue at the entrance is absolutely striking. Standing there, it really makes you pause and reflect on Jamaica’s history and resilience. I also loved noticing the cultural designs worked into the benches and fences—small details that make the park unique. What stood out most was the atmosphere. There were families, joggers, and tourists all enjoying the space, but it still felt calm and welcoming. It’s a place where you can clear your head, enjoy nature, and also feel connected to Jamaican culture. If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be to add more shaded seating areas and maybe a few more water fountains—it gets really hot during the day! But overall, my experience was excellent. I’d definitely recommend Emancipation Park to anyone visiting Kingston. Whether you want to exercise, relax, or just take in some culture, this park has it all.

Well kept lawn/garden, very clean with lots of mature trees to keep you cool if you decide to relax under one of the many trees. It would be better if there were multiple entries as for those with mobility limitation it's challenging to walk around the park after parking to gain entry. This needs to be changed to accommodate everyone.

Truly incredible to see in person! Disappointed in who they chose to place as the first two statues, lessening the impact of the memorial. The park itself is gorgeous! Aesthetically pleasing, with plenty of room to sit, run, play, and eat. The staff does a great job of keeping everything beautiful and clean. Please support the vendors outside of the park; and the restaurant across the street, Sweetwood Jerk, is amazing!

I recently stopped at Emancipation Park on Labour Day and absolutely loved this small yet relaxing space! A sound-check crew was busy preparing for a gospel concert later that evening, which added to the park’s lively atmosphere. The park is beautifully maintained, with a lovely balance of trees, flowers, and shrubs, enhancing its natural charm. One main point of interest that caught my attention was the breezeway, where I admired the seven National Heroes: Nanny of the Maroons, Paul Bogle, George William Gordon, Samuel Sharpe, Marcus Garvey, Alexander Bustamante, and Norman Manley. Each head monument has an engraved introduction that provides insight into their significant contributions. At the end of the breezeway stands the iconic themed “Tribute to Freedom,” featuring a pair of impressive 11-foot bronze statues titled “Redemption Song.” They depict a Black man and woman gazing towards the sky, located at the south-eastern entrance of the park. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would wholeheartedly encourage anyone, whether visiting or local, to stop by this iconic park. It’s a wonderful opportunity to appreciate and learn about a piece of Jamaica’s rich history!

Grass? Wet. Ambience? Great. Flowers? Pretty. Trees? Dangerous. Events' setup? Loud. Overall? Good.

Beautiful space, Great for picnic, jogging, workouts and relaxation 😌

Amazing park to jog, walk and relax. Free Wi-Fi too! Very safe and beautiful.

I can't complain about the food it was pretty good, service was also excellent, servers were attentive. The nighttime inside layout was dark set, with enough mood lighting. Thr majority of tables were for two do with that information what you'd like, outside is obviously a different vibe but definitely for larger groups

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant. Firstly, I must say that the ambiance is great; you almost forget that the restaurant is located within a plaza because of how well they have worked on creating an upscale ambiance, especially if you sit inside. The service was also great, not perfect, however, no complaints about the overall service. I had the Curried Goat Pasta; it was a little spicy but I think it was delicious. Their cocktails are a little pricey, but I like them; the Brew-Jito is a favorite of mine. I will recommend it; I will visit again.

Everything was amazing for me. The view was spectacular and the food was *chef’s kiss*. Also thanks to Simone for constantly checking in and making everything seamless!🤗 can’t wait to come back again!

Dinner at Broken Plate was just as described on their website. The flavors that hit my taste buds were delightfully scrumptious. I chose the crab cake small plate to start and I was not disappointed. The salsa was a combination of sweet, tangy and savory that complemented each other very well. For the large plate I had the lamb shank with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes. JOY! the lamb was soft, juicy and quite delicious. I don't remember if the sauce was listed but it was so delightful; I felt that my taste buds were dancing. For desert we had the coffee infused carrot cake. Delectable, melt in your mouth and the sauce completed the deliciousness. Thanks to our server Amanda for recommending my selections as great choices and being attentive to our needs. Shout out to the chef on a stellar job. Everyone loved their meal. Broken Plate this was overall a very satisfying dining experience. I will be back!

I was on vacation in Jamaica in August and I took the opportunity to dine at this fabulous restaurant. The ambiance was fabulous, the service was impeccable and the food was quite exquisite and tasty. I had oxtail pizza, my friend had a lamb dish, the other had pasta. All the dishes were very very tasty and looked very attractive on the plate. I highly recommend Broken Plates. Chef Damian, Chef Dawkins and the entire staff is doing their thing!!!!. I felt like I was dining in Manhattan......that's the vibe I got there. I'm definitely going back whenever I visit JAMAICA again. Thank you Broken Plates for such an awesome experience.

This place has been on my list for some time and I finally got to visit! It was definitely a great experience. I got seated outside, where the view was calming and the food more enjoyable. The evening was a bit chilly, but once that alcohol hit, I completely forgot about the breeze. The drinks were tasty and I like the fact that I could actually taste the alcohol and it wasn't watered down. The food was perfect! I ordered the shrimp pasta and I was definitely not disappointed! The shrimp tacos were filled with a lot of different flavors and the chicken breast lollipops definitely was different in a good way! The service was great and our server made sure we were comfortable the whole time. The prices were a bit expensive, but with the taste and quantity, it was definitely worth it.

It was a wonderful experience. I got to try curry goat pasta and oxtail wonton for the first time, and they were delicious. It exceeded my expectations. The tiramisu pancake had too much coffee. It was as if the cover of the coffee container fell off and too much came out. We had to scrape off the excess. The inside seating area was a bit smaller than expected. However, the layout was good, and the tables were not too close together. Also, the music was barely audible, so we were able to have a conversation and hear each other clearly. Overall, it was a good experience.

This is a cool chill spot to go out with friends/family/on a date. There is seating where you can relax and eat. It gives outdoorsy, chill vibes. This is a good place to go when you are craving a different type of food, a different type of flavour. The food was delicious. There is a decent variety of food of different textures and flavours,lots of room to mix and match. You can make your order online and have your food delivered to you or you pick it up yourself. Overall eating here was a different and fun experience.

I was open to the experience, but I’m not really a fan of Jamaicans making Mexican food. The finger food here was good. I tried the ackee quesadillas — they were good at first, but after a few bites, I was over it. Drinks were on point.

Overall, it was an okay experience. I enjoyed the chimichangas the most. Everything else lacked flavor or needed salt. Out of everything, I suggest that if you've never had a burrito before, don't order it. The hot and cold with the different tastes and the rice being fresh left my taste buds confused and wondering what was going on. Our waitress was nice and attentive, so she was able to provide wonderful service.

The food was pretty good. The wait time was long and I suspect it was because it was a Friday night. The servers were informative and helpful.

Chilitos was a good experience. It was my first time being there and it wasn't crowded perhaps because it was an ordinary Monday. The atmosphere was chill. The food was good even though my nachos were a bit too salty. There is sufficient parking space and the menu has a variety of options. 7/10 recommend.

Went with some friends fresh off a road trip to close out our even. The place was full but they accommodated us within less than 10 minutes. Customer service was not as stellar but I will attribute that to being understaffed for this particular day. I did enjoy the food 😋 10/10 food wise!

Really chill nice spot to hang with friends, hubby and I always visit for the Nacho Supreme 🔥 🔥 🤌🤌🤌 but my biggest gripe is POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! 2 STARS OUT OF 5! on two separate occasions we went and noone greeted us/welcomed us, we had to find our own seats, while we sat we saw other waiters/waitresses got attended to, we sat for 15 minutes, we becoked at persons--we were ignored. One person saw and assisted us. He apologized the entire time we were there and ofcourse we had a decent wait time. I was so disappointed. I went back and almost the same customer service. I love the food, the vibes is right...but work on that customer service.

Very clean. Good massages and would highly recommend their body massages. Visit their website to see a full list of all services. There is something for everyone. It is also easy to gift a treatment to friends and family as well. I also did an anti aging facial as well however for the money I didn’t quite feel as though I got the value for my money. As for the ambiance, it is so calming. Great place to relax. Easy to find. Ample parking. Staff is courteous. As a local that is extremely important to me. If you are interested in dining at the restaurant, I suggest calling to get an idea of the menu options and budget. If you are traveling with small children please keep a close eye on them as I don’t think this place is child friendly with high stairways, uneven surfaces due to the location in the hills etc. It is beautiful though

I went for a dinner reservation for my birthday. I had to make a $20 USD deposit per person to secure the reservation.The place was scenic with an amazing view of the city. They started us off with bread, which I liked. I ordered the crab cakes and stuffed chicken. My partner and best friend ordered the pork chops. For appetizers, they had spring rolls and soup. The appetizers were basic. The main courses were great. Seasoned well. Pork was tender. The service was good. I got a complimentary slice of carrot cake for my birthday. Side Note - the roads leading up to the property were very bad.

Very pleasant location with an excellent view of Kingston - we came for lunch at the restaurant. The cocktails were good, the seafood starters and cheesecake dessert were fine , but our entrees were disappointing (the fried whole fish was too dry and unpalatable ; the goat curry was too salty while the oxtail was underseasoned )

This place is incredibly relaxing, and the service is top-notch. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. My favorite part of the experience was the spa—especially the reflexology foot massage combined with the full-body massage. It was so soothing that I fell asleep almost instantly. The facial was decent, but it could have been better. They used some high-quality, healthy products, which I appreciated, but I expected a facial steamer. Instead, they applied a hot towel for a few minutes before wiping it off. Despite that minor issue, I still give this resort a full 5 stars. It’s absolutely worth the money, and I highly recommend it.

The journey to get there was something and unfortunately we visited on a day when the weather wasn’t the best but that’s nothing compared to the rude and callous staff. Nonetheless, very breathtaking view. It’s one of those places you visit and go “oh” then be on your way.

My wife and daughter stayed while on a trip to Jamaica recently and my wife celebrated her birthday here. First of all Island Outpost who current operate this place, and the staff on site represent the warmth of the people of Jamaica. If you want an impersonal service where the staff are unimportant to you as individuals then this is probably not the place as the staff are warm, friendly, and love to interact with guests who wish to do so. Starting with the booking process it could not have been smoother, Island Outpost did all they could to assist me, and very kindly made adjustments due to changes in our arrangements. Everything was friendly, courteous and professional. On arrival I had a call from my wife saying how amazed and happy she was. The staff were so kind and assisted her with her suitcases. She stayed in a one bedroom cottage with a lounge and terrace overlooking Kingston etc. The rooms are intentionally in touch with nature and I did see a review about this but why else would go visit somewhere in the mountains surrounded by amazing nature? The rooms are really well appointed with mosquito nets on the windows and over the beds. The beds are large and luxurious, super comfy mattresses. Having a fridge and a microwave was also useful for evenings where they wanted to relax. The cottages are well maintained, again I did see some comments that the hotel is past its best, but my wife didn't experience that, in fact her experience was that the hotel has an intentional 'lived-in' feel and vibe to it. It was never designed to be what some tourists might want, brand new and clinical. This place has soul. The cottages are independent from each other and secluded and each one offers a different view/experience. My wife moved from one cottage to another mid way due to other bookings and us making a last minute booking, but again the service was brilliant and she also got to see that the other cottage (without a lounge) was just as well appointed. The views are amazing but also you experience the beautiful sounds of the birds around. The communal areas are also fantastic. The bar and restaurant facilities are great, and the rum punch is second to none, using Blackwell rum from the man himself. The pool is a real attraction and while my wife was there the staff try to carefully manage visitors such that they do get to see the views but don't crowd the pool area being used by guests. Regarding the pool area this is intentionally not a box standard blue tiled pool. It has been designed to try and seamlessly fit in with the landscape, as is the pool area so if you are looking for straight lines and modern angles then again this is not the place. The breakfasts was amazing with plenty on offer and a good variety available. Cooked food was the only aspect that on occasion not so consistent, but that is a minor point. There are some local restaurants and takeaways only a few minutes walk from the hotel, to the left as you exit the hotel round the corner is an amazing takeaway plus coffee plantation, and if you instead go right there is Cafe Blue not far down the road. These are nice places to wander to if you want to stretch your legs. We do want to personally thank Sarafina who handled our booking and Michelle who was on hand in the hotel. Michelle did everything to look after my wife and daughter. When they arrived my daughter had had a slightly poorly tummy already and immediately Michelle arranged soup for her. Then on my wife's birthday she was serenaded by the staff and made to feel so special. Michelle even kindly gave my daughter a gift. When my wife and daughter left to fly back to the UK they came away with precious memories they will keep for life. We will definitely be booking again, although this time with me also. I understand it is on the market, so I just hope that whoever purchases it does it justice. It is a beautiful place and needs to retain the love and care of it's staff to keep its vibe. I do hope it isn't transformed into a soulless resort identical to every other one. Huge thank you!

Went here for dinner with some friends. Overpriced, overhyped, best thing about this place is the view. Food and drinks are mediocre, not worth the horrible journey. Won’t recommend.

Easily the best jerk chicken w/rice and peas that I've had from here to Montego Bay. It was so flavorful, and cooked so well that I wasn't even mad it wasn't spicy. The pepper sauce they gave me to accompany it was the perfect heat needed to satisfy me. The rice and peas were seasoned to perfection. The festival was crispy on the outside and soft like a fluffy pillow on the inside. The chicken soup was the perfect consistency, full, and chunky. Omg. I wanna go back right now lol. The service was kind, patient, and remarkable.

Highly recommend. Delicious food at a great price. We had jerk chicken, pork, rice and (my favourite) festival. The atmosphere is nice, next to Emancipation Park. Everyone working there was really nice.

Can't go wrong .. simple place .. giving you exactly what you want .. good tasting jerk chicken n pork .. and the festival a like me dey a hellshire .. on point ..

In Kingston for work and this place is just down the road from the hotel (Courtyard Marriott). Jerk pork and chicken are excellent, as is the hot sauce. Sides are often limited but the potato salad and rice and peas are tasty. Red Stripe is cold and goes well with anything. The staff is friendly and fun and the prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, they often run out of meat and sides (thus 4 stars vs 5), so come early or prepare to be disappointed. Overall, a very good spot for authentic jerk.

Best jerk chicken I’ve ever had. The meet was juicy and fell off the bone! I visited several times.

A good jerk barbecue experience, minutes from the Pegasus hotel. If you're staying at the hotel its definitely worth checking out. Get the platter of jerk chicken, pork, and sausages.

Couple of friends just ate here. Food was so good I had to review this place right away. I tried jerk pork and sausage and friends tried jerk chicken and ribs. We recommend everything! They have three sizes: 1/4, 1/2 and 1 pound. The 1/4 lb jerk pork wasn’t a big portion, recommend getting half pound. Service was great, Denise a.k.a Lori at the cashier was awesome! They accept card too. Hours are: Monday-Thursday they open at 11:30 am (Sunday they open at 1:00 p.m) and close 9:00 and Friday-Saturday from 12 p.m to 10:30 p.m.

I only went there for one thing! The curry goat Pattie and it didn’t disappoint. I must say you get A LOT of goat in the Pattie and the spice was just right. I have uploaded the August 2025 menu prices for the patties for an up to date figure costing.

Service: Devon House Patties is usually packed around lunch, but the service moves quickly so you won’t be waiting long. Taste: The patties are unmatched—the crust is perfectly flaky and flavorful. I tried the curry goat patty this time, and it was absolutely worth it. Each bite reminded me why these are a staple. Ambiance: It has that busy, lively Kingston vibe, full of locals and visitors alike grabbing their favorite flavors. Overall Review: A true must-try when in Kingston. Whether it’s a childhood favorite or a new flavor like curry goat, these patties never disappoint. If you can, take some home—they’re worth the suitcase space!

First time in Kingston, was told that Devon House was a must visit, I agree. The Devon House Bakery patties are a beast, best and biggest I’ve ever had. I tried the Lobster, it was delicious and the BNQ Pork was good also. Then went over to the Ice Cream shop and had Strawberry Swirl, if I’m ever in Kingston I would have to come back here with a doubt.

Love their curry chicken patties. Just the right amount of heat from the curry. Only issue was the wait which was so long and then finding seating outside in a busy Friday night. But the patty itself is delicious and filled with a lot of meat, so 1 patty was enough and definitely hit the spot! Also had a plantain tart which was good but wouldn’t say wow. They had a lot of dessert options though, so their variety was great. Someone else in our group got the bread pudding and it was amaaazing!!

Delicious patties, we went later in the day so many of the flavors were finished. I would have loved to try the seafood and pork patties. We had chicken and beef and it was delicious. They had a variety of cakes too. The staff was okay. The atmosphere was lovely.

We tried the curry goat patty for the first time. It was really delicious, nice chunks of meat with the spice just right. Also, I had the bread pudding as a sweet treat...boy oh boy they did a fantastic job with that as well. You can taste the vanilla and sweet spices. Keep up the great work! We will be back soon so hopefully it will not disappoint!
