High Hope was built in the 1960's by a somewhat eccentric American heiress in the style of a grand Italian villa, and is surrounded by acres of lush botanical gardens with panoramic views of St Ann's Bay. Errol Flynn, Ian Fleming and Noel Coward were regular visitors, and the estate exudes the elegance, glamour and style of that period. The... more

A terrific experience! We were looking for a quiet place to decompress after spending a hectic week in Kingston. The web site looked very good, but as good as it was, it did not do justice to the place. We were astonished by the quality of accommodations, the beautiful buildings and grounds, and the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff.... more

We stayed at High Hope Estate for one night only, but in retrospect, we wish we stayed longer. We actually got upgraded to a nicer room. The property is absolutely gorgeous with wonderful views and the owners & staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful. Richie surprised us with a very secluded and romantic candle lit dinner for us. We're already... more

High Hope Estate has it all - wonderful views, great food, comfortable rooms, lovely gardens, a nice pool, superb service and friendly, gracious hosts. Ludo and Dennis make you feel like an old friend of the family come to stay at their fine country home. It's a welcome antithesis to the beachfront mega-resorts. I highly recommend dining at High Hope... more

Over the years we have visited the island from coast to coast and have stayed in many of the well and less well known hotels (in all price ranges) on and off the beaten... more

High Hope Estate was magical for my wife and I on our honeymoon. Perched atop a beautiful hill, the views of the ocean are gorgeous. Our room was private, with our own balcony and a beautiful view from our bed. The grounds are spacious and green, full of blooming hibiscus plants. The owners themselves are friendly and go out of... more

Where do I begin. My wife and I first went to High Hope a year into dating. It was our first real vacation get-away, and it cemented our relationship to say the least. From the breath taking views of the Carribean to the cool ocean breeze, High Hope is tranquility at its best. Donna and I returned once more, and... more
