On the hills of the former Rose Hall Sugar Estates just outside Montego Bay and overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea is the very imposing Rose Hall Great House. As one of Jamaica's most popular attractions you will learn the many stories about its former owner, Annie Palmer and the cruelty she meted out to her slaves. Legend has it that the Great House is haunted by her spirit and that you might see or feel the presence of Annie's ghost roaming about the house.
Restored to its former glory, you may have a guided tour of this historic house and its furnishings designed after Georgian architecture that was built of cut stone on the first two levels and stucco on the third and uppermost level. You will visit the tomb of Annie Palmer and on the grounds of the Great House are several gift shops and snack areas for your pleasure.
