Bath Fountain Hotel & Spa

Kingston, Blue Mountains & the Southeast Coast


Bath's only hotel is this pink colonial building, which contains the spa baths on the ground floor. The clinically white bedrooms are modestly furnished; those with bathrooms have endless hot water from the spring, plus balconies. There's a small restaurant serving generous portions of Jamaican dishes as well as breakfast from 8:30am to 5:30pm.

Although the plaque on the entrance says the spa was established in 1747, there's precious little left of the original building.
