Great House Tour & Margaritaville
|
You will be met by our friendly driver/guide at your Cruise Ship Pier and taken on a 15 minute ride along Jamaica's Scenic North Coast To the Rose Hall Great House.
This is where you will be met by Tour Guides and taken on a tour of the Great house and property.
The legend surrounding Rose Hall and its infamous owner, Annee Palmer, also known as "The White Witch of Rose Hall," is one that has fascinated generations of island natives and visitors alike. It is a story with all the elements of an engaging novel: a beautiful heroine, unrequited love, black magic and revenge - all set in a gracious old plantation tucked amid the green hills of Jamaica.
One of the most impressive buildings on the property, the Great House, was built in 1770 by John Palmer and his wife, Rosa. After the couple passed away in 1790, the property went through many hands until finally ending up the residence of John Palmer's grand nephew, John Rose Palmer. In 1820, John Rose Palmer married, Annee, a beautiful but feisty English girl. Little did he know that his young wife possessed "black magic" powers that would eventually lead to his demise. During her reign as mistress of the plantation, Annee did away with two more husbands and countless lovers.
Of course, the meting out of such undeserved cruelty had its price: in 1831, Annee was found dead in her bedroom at The Great House. To this day there are those who claim the House is haunted. After you have finish the tour you will be taken to Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville Bar & restaurant, here you can go down the water slide into the ocean, relax and listen to music or play games and do some last minute shopping for crafts before returning to your Cruise Ship.
