    The WiFi was out but they got it back quickly. The sink in the bathroom had terrible drainage and that was a real annoyance with brushing your teeth and washing the kids faces at night. But they will probably get that done asap.

    The property was really nice with lots of pretty landscaping, plants and cool decorative things. We really liked the owner and staff. They made a delicious and full breakfast every morning and it was just so nice. They were helpful with anything you needed.

    This facility does not have a generator if electricity goes out, which happens often in Jamaica.

    The staff were awesome and accommodating. Breakfast every day was the highlight of our stay. The views were beautiful. There was plenty of running water. There is a great restaurant next door.

    The night manager was often no where to be found. But that does not take away from the safe and secureness it’s just if you had a question or wanted to check anything he was not there.

    Valerie, she 100% made our stay. The breakfast every day was delicious and different, you could have Jamaican or American or fruit. It is a charming b&b with loads of personality.

    The noisy road that was NOT the fault of Mynt Retreat.

    I liked the very relaxing atmosphere of Mynt Retreat. It's not a beachfront resort so if that's what you're looking for you should keep searching. The only downside is that Mynt Retreat is located right off a VERY busy road!! You will hear vehicles large and small whizzing by, honking their horns, at all times of day and night! If you're a sound sleeper, good for you. If you're a light sleeper like myself, you may want to bring some earplugs if you want a restful night's sleep. I'm became ill while in Montego Bay and Valerie, the owner of Mynt Retreat, and her very loyal employees, Whitney and Suzette, took excellent care of me. Many thanks to all three of these wonderful hard-working women!

    I really enjoyed my stay at Mynt B&B. I got to the hotel a little early and was still able to check straight into my room. Valerie is very personable and cares deeply about the well-being of her guests. The room was clean and like the pictures. The breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared. It was specially adapted to my gluteen intolerance. There are many beautiful beaches in the area. I can recommend Doctors Cave. A beautiful and quiet beach not far from the hotel where you can really unwind. In the end, Valerie organized a transfer to the airport for me. When the driver was more than 5 minutes late, she dropped me there herself free of charge. It's remarkable how she had a direct solution and answer for all of my little holiday problems. I can definitely recommend the hotel and will vacation there again.

    Some noise from the busy road down below. Not sunbeds were on the terrace.

    The room was just fabulous. The breakfast was reasonable depending on what was chosen. A fruit platter beautifully prepared and presented each morning. Staff very friendly - more so the owner she was lovely. The views were stunning and the bed was e our ours and very comfy. There was also a nice bar and restaurant next door. There was also a very pretty garden to sit in as well as terrace. There were nice tables and chairs on shared terrace

    I loved the Zen like atmosphere oozing from the entire property. My favourite is the communal area on the first floor with the picture perfect window view. Marrakesh room room is the best. It is worth paying the extra for the rooms with a balcony.

    Nothing to dislike :)

    Valerie was definitely a highlight. She is such a warm and caring person who goes out of her way to help you out and share information about the area. Suzette who cooked the breakfast and looked after the rooms was also a delight every morning. It was a pleasure relaxing in the garden (we spent a whole day away from the crowds just relaxing and reading) and we even got to see Steve the hummingbird. Valerie suggested a brilliant driver, Isobel, who really took care of us. Although it is away from the main area there is a restaurant next door which serves delicious escovitch fish (red snapper).

    the floors in the room looked very dirty. but I think it just needed a good waxing. I didn’t get the code to the door and got locked out one night. thankfully someone answered the phone because it was very late.(I wasn’t given the door code)other than that I really liked the property.

    I liked the garden a lot and that it was right next to a restaurant. I also appreciated the breakfast.

    The Retreat is an oasis and super close to the airport. However you are a bit away from Restaurants, Shops etc. But it's still possible to walk there in like 20 min or get a driver.

    The B&B is surrounded by a beautiful green garden. The breakfast is served on a little terrace, just amazing and delicious. The owner Valerie is an angel. She is so helpful, honest and real and absolutely understands the guests needs. I felt sick and she cooked a tee with herbs from the garden for me. We loved Mynth Retreat and can reccomend it 100% and would come back at any time.
