Amazing experience, a little piece of paradise in the middle of the Blue mountain. Not very accessible by car. Room and amenities were great (Internet, games, TV). Food was delicious (we ordered dinner and breakfast). My best experience during the full trip.

What a lovely visit! Beautiful, great service, "quiet" (waterfall is loud butvthats awesome), quirky, and we loved it! The proberty has some ongoing projects so be prepared to go over the gravel pile and past construction, but beyond all that is magical. The mountain and the driveway are hard going, but that's the case in Jamaica overall, and this is no exception. Have 4 wheel drive and drive carefully, and it's all cool.

A unique experience!
Quiet, secluded location, beautiful surroundings, terrific food, thoughtful staff and clean facilities. The facility is being built a section at a time and has a homey, handmade feel. Rooms are named, not numbered, and are themed (the Africa Room, the M.C. Escher Room, etc.) Rooms are spacious, comfortable and imaginatively decorated. Facilities include a spacious lounge, generous outdoor seating and a full self-service bar. The property includes several footpaths, including one to a waterfall. Highly recommended. The only challenge is getting there!

The property is down a steep nearly inaccessible road right off the road entering Red Light. You need 4 wheel drive. The two guys who were here were friendly enough but overly low key. I live in JA and know the slowness of things but nothing was ready for us—no towels, no soap, after booking I was told our two bedroom room only had one bed and they could provide an air mattress. Ok but give me a discount or change the room. We waited an hour past the time we wanted dinner and there was only a small assortment of snacks —no fruit nothing. The place seems surprised to have guests. The small spring fed pool with a lovely small waterfalll, the surrounding hills and lovely flora and birds are what make this place special. The restaurant and bar are rustic and charming. It just seems that having guests is a second thought.

We never arrived because it's off a horrible dirt road with latge pot holes and large rocks our car got stuck the tires kept spinning in the dirt and going no where You need a 4x4 vehicle to navigate that horrible unmantained dirt road Location is on a hill far away of St Andrew city area. Not close to anything that is mentioned on Expedia When we called Raf Jam to inform them that Expedia did not say anything about a dirt road or need for a 4x4 or tall vehicle get to Raf Jam and cancel reservations because out car got stuck. She was rude non shalant to call Expedia not her. When I tried calling Expedia customer Service listed I got recording in Jamaican saying call was a long distance. I would like a refund if possible. Very upsetting and poor experience Reason why I waited a few days before submitting this review. I am also requesting for Expedia Customer service to contact me.

The property is rustic and very clean! Our stay was very tranquil and peaceful. It was a pleasure falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the nearby river. The overall surrounding is very pleasing to the eyes with vegetation and nature all around. Breakfast was good and special mention must be made of perhaps the best lemonade we have had in along while!

The staff and owner Susan go above and beyond to help you out with whatever you need. Really nice people. Nice rooms too with everything you need. The food was very delicious, you can get breakfast, lunch and dinner there. The only negative things are the road that leads up to the hotel is very, very bad. Also the shower isn't great, it's a trickle. We stayed for 3 nights but 2 is probably enough because there's not that much to do around the area and the wifi is very flaky so not ideal if you want to have a quiet spot to work online from. Other than that, great place.

The property was beautifully located in the mountains right next to a running stream. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The only negative about the property which is no fault of the facility is the road that leads there is not in a good state. Thankfully, the woman who runs RafJam is the best driver on the mountain and drove out with us to guide us and make sure we got back on the main road safely.
