Positioned on the legendary 18th-century Rose Hall plantation in Montego Bay, Jamaica, the 495-room Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa offers an intriguing all-inclusive experience across more than 400 tropical acres.

When not meeting in the property’s 44,000 sf of meeting space, groups can hit the waves for water sports or the greens at the Cinnamon Hill Golf Course, situated on what used to be a large sugar plantation. A private beach and plantation ruins seem primed for quiet time or events. The Sugar Mill Falls Water Park can also be as thrilling as attendees’ desire, whether drifting on lazy river inner tubes or gliding warp speed down a 280-ft slide.

The on-site historic former house of Annie Palmer, who was called the “White Witch of Rose Hall,” offers thrills of another kind. Groups can take the 30-minute tour of the 18th century Rose Hall Great House to learn more about Annie, who, during her reign as mistress of the plantation, married various husbands who were later found dead.

A dramatic setting for events for up to 200 is the seaside ruins of the 1837 Aqueduct on Rose Hall. In all, the Hilton Rose Hall has 44,000 sf of indoor and outdoor event space.
