Why we like it for families

  • The atmosphere. You can feel the intentional sophistication at Round Hill in everything from reception’s black-and-white checkered floors to the white-and-blue striped pillows on the outdoor Adirondack chairs. It appeals to luxury tastes, but there’s nothing stuffy about it.
  • The size. Round Hill exudes the intimacy of a small hotel. With only 36 suites and 27 villas (most with private pools), the main areas of the resort will never feel crowded, and the staff will have the chance to learn your and your little ones’ names (and maybe even your favorite drink).
  • The grounds. Round Hill Resort sits on a private Caribbean peninsula with 110 acres. Green is the overwhelming color you’ll see in every direction, from well-maintained lawns where kids can run around, to the lush trees and gardens offering shade from the afternoon heat. If you like your beach resorts with a side of tropical jungle, you’re in the right place.
  • The rooms. It is common knowledge that Ralph designed the 36 suites in the oceanfront Pineapple House, which are minimalist, white, and sophisticated. But Round Hill is known for its 27-private villas spread around the resort, where families can get maximum luxury and privacy during their stay.
  • The kids’ club. You won’t feel guilty leaving your kids at the small cottage near reception that hosts the Round Hill kids’ club. The daily-changing schedule includes nature walks, shell hunting, beach volleyball, and more. Kids are divided into two age groups, 3-6 (Pineapple Kids Club) and 7-12 (7-Up Club).
  • The babysitting opportunities. Beyond the kids’ club, certified nannies can be booked around the clock to supervise kids of all ages. Many families come to Round Hill year after year, and their kids get to know and request certain nannies.

Round Hill Resort & Villas offers Mango Tree guests VIP amenities including: Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability; $100 resort credit; Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability; Complimentary Wi-Fi. Let’s get you VIP’d!

  • You will feel your blood pressure lower the minute you drive through Round Hill’s gates and take in the dark green hues of the Caribbean gardens and ocean views. Relaxation starts now.
  • Families have two accommodation options. The two-story Pineapple House contains 36 oceanfront rooms designed by Ralph Lauren. Each room is set up like a junior suite, with one king or two queen beds, a sitting area, and balcony or terrace. These are best for families of 3 but can be booked as adjoining rooms for families of 4-5. Larger families – or simply those wanting more privacy – can stay in Round Hill’s luxurious private villas which range from two to six bedrooms.
  • The resort has two restaurants: The open-aired Grill has a more formal atmosphere with table clothes and white-glove service – and yet, kids won’t feel out of place at all. Just next door is the more casual Seaside Terrace for lunch. Guests can opt for various all- or half-inclusive packages, or pay for meals a la carte. A huge perk for villa guests: Designated villa staff bring breakfast to your villa. Much of the produce served at the restaurant is grown on-site.
  • Round Hill’s beach is not large, but it’s calm and private, and there are a wide variety of water sports for older kids: a water trampoline, a glass bottom boat, kayaks, hobie-cats, pedal boats, banana boats, snorkeling equipment, and more.
  • Top it all off with an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, which has a great shallow area for young kids to splash around.
  • Complimentary afternoon team and snacks served at 4pm
  • As for adult activities, Round Hill has tennis, yoga, a spa, and fitness on site. The spa has an adults’ only pool. Complimentary shuttle service also is provided to the 18-hole course at Tyrall Golf Club, only 10 minutes away.

Traveler Reviews

This was our second time. We love it so much. There is not one bad thing to say. The entire staff is fabulous. The grounds are incredible. The food is awesome. The kids camp is the best we’ve ever had, our kids begged to go and cried when they had to leave. The staff is incredibly loving and helpful. The spa, beach, pool, entertainment, restaurant- all five stars. Book ASAP!

Great villa with private pool, mind-blowing views of the ocean, and privacy. So, that was very relaxing. Service was A+. Enjoyed breakfast in the villa, cooked to order, but also liked eating breakfast at the restaurant on site — it was really good. The beach is small but perfect for Spring Break 2021 — really calm (no big waves), great sand, and bar service. Good gym to keep up your workout routine, and Trish M., the on-site trainer, is friendly, helpful, and inspirational. My kids had fun at the tennis courts and also riding “Big Mable” at the water sports station. BBQ night was also a big hit — the lobster and other seafood was delicious and the music was on point too. All in all, a great place for a relaxing, fun, family vacation.
