Reviews and Ratings
The resort is situated behind the pool, making access convenient. The rooms are standard yet offer a nice view of the water. The service was exceptional with friendly and accommodating staff. The location is visually awe-inspiring, although bug spray is a must in Jamaica. The dining experience is delightful with unique local flavors. The facilities are well-kept and offer a pleasant stay.
The hotel had a very simple and hippy/bohemian vibe with old furniture, all wood, stone floors, and walls. Our room, number 11, was a garden room, not one of the luxurious villas, but we absolutely loved it. The highlight was the outdoor shower which added a unique touch to our stay.
The hotel offers a private platform on the cliffs and stunning views of turquoise waters, creating a tranquil and exotic atmosphere. While the room decor might feel dark with drab brown drapes, the service is overtly courteous and cheerful. The dining options are described as out of this world, but bug spray is a must to combat the mosquitoes in the area.
