Come with me to Round Hill


This is Round Hill Hotel & Villas. in Jamaica.
Thirty acres of  pure bliss, 
the property of Round Hill awaits you.
I can describe Jamaica with only one word.
Paradise.
I have been to many islands.
The Bahama's, Curacao, St Martin, Barbados, Bimini, The Hawaiian Isles.
The Cayman Isles, Coastal Mexico, Jamaica and Bermuda to name a few.
I adore Bermuda, and I think I could live there. 
But Jamaica is the most lush, green and blue place on earth.
It has mountains, with waterfalls.
And it has the turquoise coast that is dappled with cliffs and white sand beaches.
One of the pools at Round Hill

The illustrious watering hole.
If only these walls could talk. 
The villas have been a place for the famous 
and not so famous to 
check in and check out!
(from the world we know everyday)


How about a rub down here?
Or a drink here?
Imagine hanging out here after a day at the beach.
You are golden brown, squeaky clean from your hot tub, steam and massage.
You are wrapped up in all white terry .....
hmmmm....what shall I do for dinner?
These are just a few of the faces you would have seen at Round Hill over the years.

Noel Coward, Errol Flynn, and yes, Clark Gable
 to name a very, very few.

In 2004 Ralph Lauren had his hand in the compound's make-over. 
This place is so perfect that at any given moment you might find 
an employee holding a palm branch at just the right angle, 
 to make your view just as it should be. 
hahahaha
I swear I can see the tips of this guys shoes. He's holding the palm 
in front of the camera lens to frame the shot just 'Paradise' beautiful!
Right?
A villa pool.
Not bad eh?

Could you, 
would you like to check in, 
and 'check out' at Round Hill?

  3. Well I can tell you two things after reading this post.

    1) I haven't traveled nearly as much as I should have been.

    2) I'll be putting Round Hill on my list of places to stay! ;)

  4. Perhaps this should be next on my list of places to visit, when I need a quick escape from the troubles of Bangkok; bit further to go however! It certainly looks heavenly, so I hope it lives up to the photoshoot images; mostly these resorts are a bit creative with their photography, and I always check the review sites to see "real" travellers photos and to read their bugbears. Quite often it puts me off going to places, which is both good and bad. Good because I save myself a lot of money, but bad because I don't get away enough.

  7. Renee...I've attended a cocktail party and dinner there (but never stayed). We camp out next door at Tryall.(check it out online). We've stayed in a lovely villa, "Fairwinds" yearly since 1992. Jamaica is our most favorite place in the world, where we have made lifelong friends. It's my dream to retire there!

  14. Absolute Paradise, Renee.... and if the celeb's like it and go there then, it must be good.
    Our daughter is in Bali at the moment and she and her boyfriend have been upgraded to the honeymoon suite !!!! I think that she would say that Bali could give Jamaica a run for it's money !! I've never been upgraded to the honeymoon suite ! I must be going wrong somewhere !!
    It looks beautiful, Renee and I would book into Round Hill in a heartbeat. XXXX

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues

With my unique style.

If I can't find it, I create it.

My rooms would make excellent movie sets.

I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.

Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
