Frommer's Review

This is a top choice for vacationers who are serious about golf and who want the privacy and isolation of a private cottage surrounded by verdant landscaping and good security. With more spacious grounds than almost any other Jamaican hotel, this stylish and upscale resort sits 19km (12 miles) west of town on the site of an 880-hectare (2,200-acre) former sugar plantation. It has neither the fine beach of Half Moon, nor the elegant house-party atmosphere of Round Hill, but nonetheless, it's one of Jamaica's grandest resorts. The property lies along a 2km (1 1/4-mile) beachfront and is presided over by a 165-year-old Georgian-style great house. Throughout, you'll find a deep respect for golf, with many important tournaments played on the rolling greens of the resort's topnotch golf course.

The accommodations in luxurious villas are decorated in cool pastels with English colonial touches. Each is artfully positioned amid lush foliage and designed for privacy, with a private pool and a self-contained kitchen. Each has ceiling fans and some have air-conditioning, along with big windows framing sea and mountain views. Bedrooms are upscale and exceedingly spacious, with luxurious beds, private patios or terraces, and tile floors. Bathrooms are roomy, with plenty of counter space and a shower/tub combination. The most formal of the resort's dining areas is in the great house, but it's not the equal of the options available at Half Moon and the Ritz-Carlton. There's also a casual beach cafe, more for convenience than good food.

Many clients here are CEOs, so the hotel has opened an Internet room. On other fronts, Tryall is winning recognition as one of the most eco-sensitive resorts in the Caribbean, winning acclaim as a "Green Globe Hotel."

Facilities: 2 restaurants; 4 bars (1 swim-up); pool; championship 18-hole par-71 golf course; 9 Laykold tennis courts; fitness center; children's programs; Internet room; salon; massage; babysitting; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility; deep-sea fishing; snorkeling; windsurfing; horseback riding.
