Is there anything better than stretching out like a cat in a warm patch of Jamaican sun? Only if you sprinkle your island vacation with a dash of adventure. Known fondly as “the land of wood and water,” Jamaica’s forests feature prime hiking and bird watching. History buffs can the heritage sites of Trelawny, while reggae and dancehall fans will love the authentic music clubs of Kingston. Montego Bay is perfect for snorkeling and shopping, while the spas of Ocho Rios can make any stresses melt away.

Atop a lushly forested escarpment 100 feet above the turquoise and blue waters of Boston Bay and the Caribbean Sea you’ll find 17 bamboo huts and the newly appointed Royal House of Great Huts Resort, Port Antonio, a unique village resort that celebrates the Jamaican people’s West African ancestry and exalts the art, wisdom and power of Rastafari. This intimate eco-resort has a private beach and two cliff-side pools with dramatic ocean views. Over 90% of furnishings, art and decor are handmade by Jamaican artisans.
My husband, 13-year-old and I stayed at the Fig Tree for 3 days on a family vacation. We absolutely enjoyed the space, cuisine, views and staff. Breakfast was incredible, our most memorable meal was callaloo with pumpkin and homemade biscuits. The curried coconut pumpkin soup was delicious and so many more meals were as well. Between us, the onsite chef was better than the chef at Golden Eye. The staff on premises was incredibly pleasant and worked hard to accommodate anything we asked for. Deanna was lovely, as were so much of the staff. The views from Fig Tree were amazing. We enjoyed the breezes, privacy and so much of the sense of place. We felt completely connected to the staff & will likely keep in touch as they were such great people. My husband and son took private lessons from Javii on Boston Beach. He charged $50 per person which was a bit of a deal. He was fantastic. We would highly recommend. We enjoyed the pool which was a very short walk from our Hut. The ocean was perfect for swimming, surfing and was not populated with a barrage of people .We also enjoyed the views throughout the property. The beds were comfortable. If at fig tree specifically you need to remember: basic footwear for the hut and a flashlight. The bottom floor is a unlevel and this will make your stay much more enjoyable. You need to be careful when utilizing steps, they are uneven and you need to pay attention to walking. There was plenty of towels, linens and we had a small mini refrigerator in our Hut which came in handy. Don't forget shampoo, water bottles from home and bug repellent of your choice. We visited the Blue lagoon around 10:30 in the morning, which is less than 15 minutes from the facility. We were the first people to arrive. It was incredibly fantastic to have the place to ourselves. I would recommend going early. Deanna was able to give us good instructions on navigating the area. Roads were rough getting there & we have stomachs of steel. It took us about four hours or more to arrive from Kingston airport.We used the driver that was recommended however getting a driver from the airport might be more economical and just as easy. I would do research. I would also research local drivers and the Port Antonio area for alternatives as well. Overall the entire visit was incredible. We would absolutely recommend you go!! Enjoy & Take in all that this amazing place has to offer.

This place is a great base to explore the beautiful North East coast of Jamaica - which is much more unspoilt than other parts of the coast (so we’re told!) Located 30 mins from Port Antonio by taxi or route taxi (we took route taxis everywhere and they were great), it’s walking distance to beautiful Frenchman’s Cove, and just a short route taxi ride to Blue Lagoon and Winnifred Beach (150JMD pp). The guesthouse is on a hill so there are lovely views of the sea and there’s a small cove at the bottom of the hill where you can join the locals in a swim - bliss! You can have breakfast and dinner on the terrace and the waiting and reception staff are very friendly. The pool is refreshing and the rooms comfy (big beds, good aircon and hot water). It would have been nice to have more of a communal vibe but it may just be a quiet time. Not loads of eating places around unless you are happy to eat in or at nearby hotels which are a little pricier. Otherwise Boston Beach and Port Antonio are the best bets - not too far in taxis and again easy with a route taxi.

The hotel is really simple. The TV's remote control wasn't working and there is not elevator. The employees didn't help w/ the luggage and in the announcement the website were offering breakfast and when I arrived there I was informed that because of the COVID they couldn't do it.

Luna Sea Inn is a small property with ten unique rooms, nine with full ocean views and either a deck or verandah furnished with Adirondack chairs. It is located off the beaten path in Belmont, Bluefields Jamaica, about midway between Negril and Treasure Beach. Positioned on a tiny peninsula the hotel is surrounded on three sides by the Carribean Sea. There is a small man made beach next to a public beach used by one local fisherman. Scattered throughout the property are chaise lounges, sunning beds and Adirondack chairs. The picturesque gazebo sits surrounded by water. Here you can catch a breeze, sip a dozen cocktail, meet new friends and watch the most incredible sunsets in Jamaica. Our chefs takes the freshest local ingredients to gourmet heights. His use of callaloo (a local green) is nothing short of amazing. Try his appetizer sticks or have a packet of them! The guava jerk sauce he created has international guest chefs shaking their heads as they try to decipher the exact ingredients. From local cuisine to international to the fusion of the two, the best food in Jamaica is at Luna Sea inn. The entire hotel was gutted and renovated in 2015-16. Furniture is handmade from local cedar. The mattresses are pillow top with your choice of pillow. Expect to see towel swans or perhaps a turtle on your bed along with fresh flowers. An eco-friendly hotel with solar hot water but still extra towels to reuse at your discretion. Make up mirrors and full length mirrors are in every room. Smart TV is wall mounted in room and bar plus a giant outdoor TV in the courtyard, visible from the pool.
Such a relaxing and pleasant place... Service outstanding.. Rooms well appointed and vibe was wonderful. Hard to beat especially the natural beauty of the area. The food was fantastic and the entire experience was so relaxing. Advice - wake early and watch the sunrise..

The Casa Maria Hotel gives you an authentic Jamaican experience with beautiful views of the bay, gorgeous sunrises, cool ocean breeze, friendly Jamaican staff, sparkling pool, and excellent Jamaican and International cuisine. Away from the tourist hustle but just 30 minutes from the bustling tourist center of Ocho Rios if you wish to go to town. Enjoy the peace, quiet, and intimacy of rural Jamaica at this wonderful hotel!
Casa Maria Hotel my home away from home. My absolute favorite place to dine is on the oceanfront balony just off the dining room. Rooms are very comfortable. I like how the trade winds blow right in off the Ocean. I always get up extra early just to see the sunrise. Food amazing, pizza...best you'll ever have. Its overall a nice and relaxing hotel. You get to experience the real Jamaica. Lots of new upgrades as well. Looking forward to go back.

The bed & breakfast offers a restaurant. A bar/lounge is on site where guests can unwind with a drink. Guests can enjoy a complimentary breakfast each morning. Public areas are equipped with complimentary wireless Internet access. This Newcastle bed & breakfast also offers an outdoor pool, spa services, and a terrace. Complimentary self parking is available on site. RafJam Bed & Breakfast.
Rafjam is such an awesome hidden gem! In addition to the property being absolutely beautiful the owner, Susan, is the sweetest. I made a last minute reservation and she was so accommodating. I only stayed for one night and she made sure I was completely at home and comfortable. My time here was so relaxing I didn’t want to leave. My room was clean and comfortable and had a balcony with a hammock overlooking the river that runs through the property. The property has decent wifi which is great if you don’t want to completely unplug. The food was good and everything about the property just screamed peace and relaxation. There is a section of the road on the way to Rafjam that might be a little challenging to maneuver, but it’s not enough to deter me from going back. Overall it was a great experience and I can’t wait to visit again!
