The new property features 57 luxurious and spacious accommodations, two restaurants, three bars, a market café, Fern Tree – a Salamander Spa, a sweeping infinity-edge swimming pool, and private beachfront with a natural swimming cove. The 400 acre resort has a luxury spa, an award winning championship golf course, equestrian center, world class tennis facilities, numerous watersports and other accommodation options include the numerous Rose Hall Villas and 9 exclusive Founders Cove Cottages. There are 3 meeting rooms in the conference centre with the largest seating 230.
Miss T’s Diner at Murphy Hill
Chef Anna Kay Tomlinson, affectionately known as Miss T, created a cozy ambiance for private lunches and dinners that pays homage to the typical Jamaican zinc roofed board house and singular stylings of the island. Colorful paintings, vintage Marley photos, hanging gourd, wicker lamps and musical instruments adorn the walls. Starters include tasty innovations on Jamaican classics like stamp-and-go (saltfish fritters), crab backs paired with fruit salsa, oxtail sliders served on mini cocoa bread, as well as curried ackee dubbed “Jah Know”.
For a spicy take on ceviche, try the “Pick-up Saltfish”. Main courses from”Unda the Sea” include creamy coconut curry lobster, “Yardie Favorites” like BBQ fried chicken or trout, curried goat, jerk chicken and the signature house dish, Miss T’s Famous Oxtail. Wash it all down with freshly-squeezed limeade or a cold Red Stripe beer and you’ll be ready for dessert. This restaurant has been replicated and enhanced at Murphy Hill. You will journey up to Ocho Rios’ highest viewpoint, Murphy Hill, which sits 2 000 feet above sea level, from where you can marvel at awe-inspiring views of the town, the Blue Mountains and, even, on a clear day, the neighboring island of Cuba. Pass through small villages, where you can learn the history of old churches and see colorful native marketplaces. This location coupled with a delectable meal at Miss T’s leaves memories that last a lifetime.
