Beautiful Beach Experience

The beach here is absolutely stunning! It's relatively small but has a amazing charm. I loved how the lush vegetation surrounds the area, making it feel like a hidden gem. You can rent a lounge chair for just $2, and the service from the staff was good, keeping me refreshed with my favorite Jamaican drinks. I can't wait to go back to such a paradisiacal spot!

Comfortable Accommodations

During my stay, I found the rooms spacious and quite comfortable despite some needing a bit of updating. The AC worked perfectly, and there was always hot water available for my showers. The serene atmosphere made it easy to unwind. There was also strong Wi-Fi signal, which was a plus for staying connected while on vacation!

Nature's Refreshing Touch

I thoroughly enjoyed the natural elements blended into my experience at the resort. The cove features a refreshing stream that provided an invigorating dip after spending time in the sea. It's a perfect place to relax, reconnect with nature, and let my worries drift away. This hidden oasis truly offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Delicious Local Cuisine

Although you cannot bring your own food, the on-site dining options were enjoyable. I sampled some tasty Jamaican dishes, and the quality of the food exceeded my expectations. The scenic views while dining made each meal feel like a special occasion. I appreciated having enjoyable meals available onsite and would recommend others to try the local delicacies offered.
