I checked in on April 28th for a week, marking my first visit to this facility. The location is good, and the staff is friendly. However, the facility needs some upgrades. I was disappointed that there wasn’t even a complimentary bottle of water in the room, especially considering the hot temperatures in Jamaica; this should be taken into account. I had requested a ground-floor room prior to my arrival, but due to a lack of communication, I was not informed that the ground-floor rooms only have one bed each. Since I requested two beds, I was assigned a room on the second floor. This wouldn’t have been an issue if there had been an elevator, but the staircase was quite challenging for me. I appreciate the courteous assistance from the staff.

Only complaint about the property itself was the clogged toilet on checkout day, but that stuff happens. The huge issue was the attitude and behavior of the security guard, who while wearing a branded uniform shirt of the hotel, said he wasn’t part of the hotel staff. He was aggressive and dishonest, loudly accusing me of lying. There was an issue with him during check-in that I tried to ignore. It got worse on checkout morning.

Felt like home

Staying at Shirley’s Retreat truly felt like being welcomed into the family. The employees go above and beyond to make you feel at home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The hotel offers all the basic necessities, ensuring a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was the food from Maurva's Kitchen—absolutely amazing! I highly recommend trying the local cuisine; you will not be disappointed. The hotel is in a safe, walkable area with plenty of restaurants nearby, and food delivery is also an option if you prefer to dine in. While there isn't a microwave in the room, there is one available downstairs, along with coffee, tea, and hot water. The hotel also sells water and cold drinks at very reasonable prices. Another great perk is the location—it's within walking distance of the Bob Marley Museum, and the hotel staff is happy to assist with getting a taxi if needed. The property itself is quiet, quaint, and surrounded by beautiful fruit trees, adding to its charm. If you're looking for a cozy, welcoming place to stay in Kingston, Shirley’s Retreat is a fantastic choice!
