Lower your expectations!!

I always stay at the RItz Carlton when I visit Jamaica; however if you want to go to Mandaville, I would recommend this hotel. It is family owned and the rooms are kept very clean but has a slight mildew smell when the windows are closed; so remember to keep the open. The hotel sits on top of a hill and the Jamaican breakfast is included in the price and is served on the terrace overlooking the beautiful hills of Mandaville. I look at it more like a two star guest house, clean, comfortable, good breakfast. Just remember to wear a slippers when taking a bath or entering the bathroom and don't be afraid if you see a roach or two. Just remember that this is 'country' as Jamaicans would say and if not the Mandeview Flats then where else. The other hotels around Mandaville are in far worst state then Mandeview Flats.
