Mynt Retreat Bed & Breakfast

Lush garden Ocean view convenience of restaurant next door very close to airport 5 min away

Busy traffic don't walk at night

Close to the airport.

Not easily located on Maps

Breakfast was great. There's a range of options between Jamaican style Breakfast, pancakes, French toast & any style eggs. You're served with fruit first and their peppermint tea is prepared straight from their garden. Their Breakfast is definitely a plus!

House keeping wasn't regular and sometimes it was hard to locate staff if we needed something. Also beware if you have late night/early morning plans to go out or come in because we were locked in & also locked out on our way back in. I had to call staff to let me back into the establishment.

Lage ist für die erste oder letzte Nacht in Ordnung, da sich die Unterkunft in der Nähe zum Flughafen befindet. Zimmer und Frühstück gut. Die umliegende Gegend nich ganz so schön.

Leider war (obwohl wir unsere Ankunftszeit um 18 Uhr mitgeteilt hatten) ca. 3 Stunden keiner da und wir mussten mit unserem Gepäck in einem nahgelegenen Restaurant warten. Besonders ärgerlich wenn es sich um den Anreisetag handelt und man nach Flug und Co nur noch auf sein Zimmer möchte.

Que no haya habido televisión y que haya respondido la dueña, muy suelta de cuerpo, que "el huracán había volado todo", cuando en la isla y en todos nuestros alojamientos previos pudimos ver televisión sin problemas. Lo que realmentre ocurre es que este alojamiento tiene un sistema obsoleto de televisión por cable y televisores viejos (no Smart TV). Es lógico que teniendo Smart TV y un internet potente no tendría que dar excusas baratas como la del huracan que se llevo el sistema de cable. Una caradurez. Nosotros necesitamos ver noticias y seguir nuestros programas. Ni siquiera pidio disculpas. Me tuvo cerca de dos horas tratando de arreglar el problema de tv y no dejó datos de contacto en la tarde noche para pedir ayuda o que resgtauren el servicio, pues se va y quedas a tu merced. Ni siquiera tuvo la deferencia de decirnos, cuando llegamos, que no tenia cable por ultimo para no hacerme perder casi dos hotras intentando arreglar algo que estaba malo. Ella espera que tengas el problema Y NO TE LO ADVIERTE. Muy mala experiencia. Tampoco me gustó que no hicieron la limpieza el primer día y solo se disculparon. diciendo "que se les pasó". Imaginen la bronca y el mal rato, en la noche sin tv y perdiendo dos horas y al otro día llegar a lo mismo pero sin limpieza. Finalmente, tampoco hay escritorio, cuando te lo prometen. Yo trabajo y tengo reuniones telematicas intensas en las mañanas temprano cerca de dos o tres horas. Y tuve que estar trabajando en un sillon de descanso con una mesa de luz, muy incómodo y terminas casi con dolor de espaldas. Y yo alquilé ahí pues prometian escritorio de trabajo, tv y limpieza. Una pésima experiencia con esta señora. En resúmen, prometen cosas que no tienen, luego no hay comunicación con nadie cuando llegas de las playas, y al día siguiente, en el desayuno, se limita a dar explicaciones insatisfactorias haciendose la simpática, pero cobra como si ofrreciera realmente lo que promete.

Das Frühstück und das nette Personal

Sehr laut und direkt neben der Hauptstraße gelegen, selbst mit Ohropax kaum auszuhalten. Unterkunft war vom einfachsten Standard und wenig gepflegt

So ein super süßes Hotel, mit sehr netten Gastgebern. Das Frühstück war der Hammer.

Die Lage war etwas schwer zu erreichen, aber dennoch ok. Man hatte eine traumhaften Ausblick.

Their Jamaican breakfast was amazing and the service was exceptional. Location is very central and easily accessible.

Staff were personable and truly cared for our needs.

Proximity to airport, Seaview, Outside terrace, Breakfast, Beds,

Bathroom was no perfectly prepared.

we love Valerie the woman with big heart and big smile! its worth everything

Incredible stay ! The lady at the front desk was very nice and the breakfast was very good.

It might be noisy at night due to restaurant front, can’t blame the hotel for that, that’s the only reason why I would’nt book it again but can’t blame the front desk for that.

It was very peaceful. The people were lovely.

The property needs a little more upgrade, but overall it’s a nice place to stay

Breakfast was good. I got what I requested. Delicious well prepared food . The manager was courteous friendly kind and wonderful.

My problem is the location . I don’t drive and couldn’t get local taxes . I had to bother people for a ride or for a chartered taxi

The owner - Veronica - is really warm and hospitable and did everything she could to make sure we were as comfortable and welcomed as possible.

Shower was not quite as hot as would have liked but this may be due to hurricane consequences

Good breakfast and property

Väga hubane, kodune. Hea hommikusöök rõdul.Ilus aed. Hea restoran kohe kõrval. Perenaine väga sõbralik ja abivalmis, aitas meid takso tellimisel. Linna jalutasime.

Ideal location near the airport. Very convenient for where we were going

All was good.

Los wafles y la señora q nos atendió 1 día

Demasiado costoso para q no le sirviera ni el internet en el televisor y la taza no bajara

Definitely enjoyed my stay. Would definitely come back again. Host was very lovely to us also.

Excellent breakfast; cooked to our liking. Location is quite central and easy access to centre. A very good local restaurant next door which serves very good food and value for money. Valerie and the staff were very helpful with all local enquiries. On the last day, Valerie kindly arranged a rental car from a reliable owner and delivered to us which was very helpful. Hopefully, we will come back again in future.

Valerie is a brilliant host, we would vote for her with 10 stars if possible😀 She is just brilliant in giving great recommendations Her breakfast was just delicious and she is running the B&B with passion. Next to her house you find a good restaurant. It is a ten minute walk only to get to Doctors beach.

The location is pretty noisy as directly next to a Main Street with crazy truck drivers who are addicted to make noises

Breakfast was delicious and different each day, loved the Jamaican specials!

All was good,

Room had aircon that was effective in keeping cool. The room came with a large enough fridge for storage of drinks/food. Amazing balcony view and area for outdoor eating/seating. Lobby area in the hotel was beautifully decorated and a great space to relax outside of the bedroom. The hotel was clean throughout. Breakfast served every morning was tasty and freshly prepared. Host and staff absolutely amazing and friendly, exceptionally helpful. Thank you both Whitney & Valarie. There was laundry service and early/late check out options. Location of hotel from airport is less than 10mins! Yet safely tucked off the main road with parking outside. Restaurant next door for dinner and another a short walk away.

No mosquito netting on windows to prevent flies/mosquito entering bedroom. Off road traffic can be noisy during the day but calms down at nights. TV in the bedroom unfortunately didn't work during stay, however is scheduled to be fixed. The overhead light blinked constantly, bedside lamp was used instead which lit the room enough to resolve issue. Shower tiles needs re-tiling on shower floor and toilet seat fastened.

T h e location to the restaurant

The location is great , very cozy, and nice breakfast. The best was Valery (the manager) super helpful in many aspects

Staff was pleasant and accommodating

Construction near by so noisy and had to change room after first night because shower and face basin didn’t drain well so stepped out of shower to a flooded room

Staff is very kind

Friendly staff Really nice Jamaican breakfast Really close to the airport Nice and relaxing

AC wasn’t cold enough

We liked the location of the property, our room was very spacious with a large patio and views over the Bay. There was a lovely restaurant and bar next door, it was very comfortable and clean.

There was nothing not to like we enjoyed everything.

I like the view , breakfast was good and the staff was friendly

The power cut but we do understand cause it's was because of the storm

This place is a dump. Dark and dreary. Air conditioner did not work. Horrible location. I left after 30 minutes and the owner refused to refund the charge for the second night stay. I will take that up with my credit card provider.

No air conditioning. One small light in the ceiling fan, so the room was dark, wet, and just overall nasty. Do not trust the photos, or the reviews, or the rating. This place is horrible.

Close to airport Staff were very welcoming Breakfast was amazing Cute dog

Loud traffic nearby but it’s okay after a while

The host and staff made us feel very welcomed. The breakfast was great. I have a lot of food allergies and they were very accommodating.

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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

I absolutely love the location, it overlooked the sea of Montego Bay and has close by restaurants that provides swift service

Light went on our first night and my wife couldn't get her devices charged

Relaxing , well appointed and charming

Staff were really friendly and helpful, lovely room with terrace and beautiful view, cute garden,delicious breakfast

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!

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

We were offered a continental or Jamaican breakfast. Made to order. The owner is a wonderful lady and very friendly.

A big room with large beds, air conditioning and beautiful terrace. Nice view from the terrace. Warm and cold water. Internet was ok. Fridge in the room. Nice breakfast. Pleasant and helpful staff. Restaurant next door. The downtown and beaches were within the walking distance (ca 2 km).

Loud noise from the street (big trucks started quite early)

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.

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

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

The only good thing about this place was its proximity to the airport

The room was not very clean, I noticed cobwebs on the ceiling and doors. The wifi was not working, and there was hardly anyone around when you needed.

The breakfast was OK, Could have done with having a bit more choice

There was not much choice and no bake beans The beach is only 10 minutes walk away but a steep downhill walk. So walking back to the hotel was very difficult. To use a taxi it cost us £20 return for a 5 min drive The airport is only 3 minutes away and it cost us £15

Breakfast was great! Made fresh to order each morning. Lovely breakfast balcony!

Great views & clean

it was quite beautiful and clean

we like everything

Great location, The host Was wonderful make me and my husband feel at home. Very knowledgeable of activities to do in the area. Breakfast was excellent. Enjoyed her garden outside very romantic. Will be back

Internet connection could not watch TV

I genuinely love this property is a time capsule. Beautiful art and amazing views from all over. A nice calming garden for lounging and eating.

Breakfast was made to order between American and local. The lady who made it was very sweet and friendly.

Room looked old. They charged me twice. Once when we reached and again through Booking.com. Closest restaurant was more than 30mins walk. Nothing available closeby.

Good location, near hip strip

Nothing

Quaint and picturesque

Sometimes lack of staff available

Good breakfast. Comfortable bed.

Very noisy, loud trucks, motorbikes on major road below. 20+minute walk in very hot weather to get to restaurants, shops, etc. Or USD20 taxi.

I like the breakfast and the scenery also good size bedrooms

the location and the staff lied and said there was security on site

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.

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).

Nothing to dislike :)

Breakfast, host, view

Next door live concert at the restaurant and lots of loud music during the night

Everything….. the place, the room, the breakfast is delicious. Valerie, the Host is such a Sweet person! Always a pleasure to come back !

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

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.

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.

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.

Everything! The room was lovely, clean and spacious. Breakfast every morning which was just delicious. Really well located - a pretty easy 20 minute walk down to the strip, mere minutes by taxi. Highlight without a doubt was Valerie, Whitney and the rest of the staff who made us feel so relaxed and welcome! Thank you so much for a brilliant Christmas stay - we'll definitely be back!!

We loved our stay at Mynt Retreat! Valerie was so helpful and kind. She went above and beyond to help us get acclimated to her country, plan our vacation, and getting around safely. Breakfast was phenomenal- highly recommend the Jamaican breakfast. Mynt is on the side a mountain with beautiful views of the ocean from the patio. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. Peppas restaurant next door had really good authentic Jamaican food for a fair price. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

It is a 20 minute walk from most major activities like Doctors Cave Beach and the hip strip. At night, I would definitely take the taxis though because of traffic and lack of street lights. There used to be a free shuttle service once a day to the beach, but had to be discontinued due to rising transportation costs. It is now $15 a trip, taxis will ask for $20, but you can usually negotiate a better fare. During the day we usually walked.

close to the airport, next to a restaurant. staff super super friendly and helpful in organising things for me. work worked well.

Ideal location, 5 minute drive from the airport and 5 minute drive to the hip strip. The property was clean, relaxing and felt like a little retreat. Our room was spacious, both air con and fan, comfortable beds. The manager went out of her way to help us. My favourite thing was the restaurant that was connected to the hotel by a short path called peppas, great vibe, food, music and rum punch at reasonable prices. Would definitely stay again.

The water pressure isn't great but I did manage to wash my hair which is long with no problem.

The level of customer service in the morning was lovely. The room and view was wonderful.

The man the greeted at the locked gate when we arrived was unfriendly ad unwelcoming. The water pressure and temperature was really poor.

We just Loved the experience there. The staff was amazing, food was delicious, the ocean view was perfect, it felt like home to us. We will most definitely return to this magical Jewel!!!

There’s nothing I didn’t like. I Loved everything about this place.

Absolutely gorgeous facility with such kind and helpful staff

the balcony view was amazing!! I loved the property

nothing

the breakfast and the balcony

the location, water issues and the “free” ride to the beach everyday. Only one fridge and microwave in the staff room however if we asked we were allowed to use it. The restaurant and bar is not part of the retreat it’s next door.
