The Great House

Where history and elegance combine

The 19th century Great House is at the heart of the Tryall Club as well as an important part of the Club’s and Jamaica’s heritage. Built in 1834, it commands a strategic position atop a hill with a beautiful oceanic panorama that extends from west to east.

Here you will find our reception and front desk, the guest services office and games room for children and teenagers.

Each afternoon at four o’clock, complimentary afternoon tea is served on the veranda and terrace. This has been an established ritual at the Tryall Club since the 1930’s when Ida DeLisser presided over the silver tea service refreshing the palates of visitors and holidaymakers. A fine, hand selected range of teas is available sourced from tea plantations across the world together with assorted sandwiches, pastries and scones with cream and preserves.

The great house is also one of the finest Montego Bay Wedding Venues, and a perfect place to exchange your vows. The great house is also one of the finest Montego Bay Wedding Venues. Alternatively, with fantastic ocean views, explore our finest Montego Bay golf courses
