Award-winning American Actress Alfre Woodard spent this Christmas at Round Hill Villas and Hotel in Jamaica, easily one of her favourite vacation spots in the world.

Woodard, who has been visiting the property at Christmas time for over 20 years with family and friends, is reportedly planning to return soon with friends and relatives for a milestone celebration.

“Alfre has been a dear friend of Round Hill for many, many years. She loves Jamaica, and returns for the authentic Jamaican hospitality that is guaranteed at Round Hill,” said General Manager Omar Robinson.

“Always pleasant, and accessorised with her winning Hollywood smile, she usually takes it easy by the beach or poolside of her private villa. We are always elated to welcome her back home. Alfre is not just a guest — she is truly family,” added Robinson, who is seen here with the film star.

Robinson also described her as an exceptional cook and lover of fresh fish who is “always eager to try the new and exciting culinary options featuring our local flavours and freshly picked ingredients”.
