Fern Hill Club Hotel ReviewAiry and panoramic but showing signs of wear, and accessible via one of the most dismayingly potholed and badly maintained access roads in Jamaica (locally, they refer to it as "adventurous"), Fern Hill occupies 8 forested hectares (20 acres) high above the coastline. The nearest beach is San San, a deeply rutted 10-minute drive east of the hotel. There's no shuttle but the reception desk can arrange for a taxi to take you there. This is a far less elegant choice than its main competitor, Goblin Hill , though you can almost always get cheaper rates here. Technically classified as a private club, it's comprised of a colonial-style clubhouse and three outlying villas, plus a comfortable annex at the bottom of the hill. The accommodations come in a wide range of configurations, including standard rooms, junior suites, spa suites, and villas with cooking facilities. All units are highly private (popular with honeymooners), and the hotel attracts a primarily German, British, and Canadian tour-group clientele, as well as many vacationing Jamaican families. The hotel's restaurant, Panorama, offers a standard international menu. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
