This famous house, right on the sea at Runaway Bay, Jamaica, with its own beach, has been in the same English family ownership for more than 50 years. Built in the 18th century, it has all the spacious comfort of the Colonial Georgian era - cool, airy rooms, lovely old Jamaican furniture, old pictures, china, books.
The House
Unity is a charming, rather old-fashioned family home, not a state-of-the-art hotel. Think traditional Scottish shooting lodge, or English country house, transplanted to a lush, tropical seaside setting.
All seven bedrooms have high ceilings, generous ventilation and, without exception, stunning sea views. Principal rooms, including bedrooms, have big electric ceiling fans. There are four bathrooms, but not all en-suite, and strictly no air conditioning, bidets, gold taps or trouser presses.
The décor is homely rather than opulent, with period furniture and fittings. The electricity supply is 110 Volts AC, and reasonably reliable. You can drink the tap water with safety. Mobile phones are on GSM and the coverage is good. An ATM is on hand within a mile - it is even air-conditioned!

Our five staff, most of whom have been with us for many years, are well trained and charming. Meals can be served either in the elegant formal dining room, or outside, where there is a portable barbecue and plenty of shade. Our housekeeper and cook, Dorothy, specializes in delicious, healthy Jamaican dishes with evocative names – jerk chicken, mackerel run-down, curry goat, stamp-and-go fritters, codfish and ackee, rice and peas. She shops for excellent local beef, fish and lobster, exotic vegetables and lots of fresh tropical fruit, an irresistible feature of Caribbean outdoor breakfasts.
Foster, our much loved butler, keeps the bar stocked with ice cold Red Stripe, soft drinks, tropical fruit juices, ice, fresh limes and the ingredients of our trademark Unity Special: Appleton Estate rum, ginger ale, half a lime and a dash of bitters. |
