Executive Shaw Park Guest House – Ocho Rios
Reader Submission by Erin Cooper I am the first to admit, I like All Inclusive resorts. I like the ease of everything and having everything I could possibly want or need right at my fingertips. Free flowing alcohol, buffets, beach side grills, entertainment, pools, etc. But there is one thing that the All Inclusive CAN’T…

Fun Holiday Hotel – Negril
So a few of us pulled an island-wide road trip in two days and our overnight stop was planned for Negril. A couple weeks ahead of time a friend of mine got on the internet to book me a cheap hotel and between her and I we found that more than one place in Negril…

Sandhurst / Prestige Hotel – Kingston
I know I put up many accommodation reviews and all of them so far have been pretty great. I’ve never stayed in a place that I wouldn’t recommend…until this one. I hate to be the bearer of negative reviews out of Jamaica and this one rates pretty high on TripAdvisor but I guess I just…

Mahoe Villa – Ocho Rios
I discovered Mahoe Villa by accident when my usual place in Ocho Rios was booked full and I needed an emergency place to stay. Coincidentally it is right around the corner and about 3 minutes from my usual place and since I always need new places to write about I’m fortunate to have discovered it.…

Rafjam Bed & Breakfast – Blue Mountains

Club Ambiance – Runaway Bay
First of all I would like the sincerely thank Club Ambiance for their generous offer of staying with them to write this review, because if they had known up front that I don’t really support the all-inclusive resort lifestyle maybe they would have thought twice. I’m more of a “go local†person and I’ve never…

Treasure’s Guest House – Claremont
Okay I’m back again and I figured the most fitting first post would be the guest house I stayed at. It’s called Treasures, and it’s located in the town of Claremont in St Ann, Jamaica, which is way up in the hills.  Not near a beach of any kind but the weather and scenery are to die for…

Ocho Rios Villa
This is gonna be a love/hate post….you’re gonna love what you hear about this place but hate me for not telling where it is in Ocho Rios. My reasons for not telling are simple….its a hidden little gem that caters mostly to locals. Its super cheap and I’d like it to stay that way for…
