Celebrity Getaway Hotels in Jamaica

Numerous Jamaican resorts have played host to famous guests from Gwen Stefani -- who loves the island so much she named her child Kingston -- to 50 Cent to Sharon Stone.

Half Moon

Half Moon

Half Moon is Montego Bay's home to the stars, especially when Reggae Sumfest rolls around. Lil Wayne stayed when he performed at Reggae Sumfest in 2007, and apparently 50 Cent and LL Cool J liked the resort so much they brought back their mom and kids, respectively. Eddie Murphy used to stay in one of the resort's private villas, and famous guests of the past include both Queen Elizabeth I and JFK.

Geejam

Geejam

Made up of only five private cabins, isolated on a remote hilltop, the Geejam has drawn such celebrities as Gwen Stefani, Bjork and Grace Jones, though the hip circle has slightly subsided since the resort went public in March 2008. (Before then, it was a private hideaway for recording artists.) Sharon Stone stayed at the resort shortly after it opened, and The New York Post noted that the exclusive resort was perfect for seminaked sunbathing.

Round Hill Hotel & Villas

Round Hill Hotel & Villas

Designed by Ralph Lauren, this remote, unplugged property was the location for the film How Stella Got her Groove Back, and actor Taye Diggs returned to the resort for his wedding to famous Broadway starlet Idina Menzel. Stevie Wonder is also a reported fan of the resort.
