  Maravilloso, viviría allí!

  Casitas maravillosas (estuvimos en la Octopus 2) escuchabas el mar desde la cama, tumbonas, ducha y bañera al exterior viendo el mar, una terrazita solarium arriba donde pude ver la puesta de sol y cielo estrellado más bonito que jamás he visto. Deberia ser lugar de peregrinación, al menos una vez en la vida y bien acompañados! :)

  Para viajeros y turistas, la mejor experiencia en Jamaica

  Es un hotel donde tendrás la opción de conocer Jamaica sin guiones ni maquillaje, es la Jamaica de los locales, la amabilidad, alegría y buen servicio son el menú de cada día, podrás tomar unas aletas y un snorkel y ver las maravillas del mar sin alejarte un metro del hotel, opciones como el yoga y el ciclismo abundan y si quieres vivir como los locales podrás ir a ver los pescadores y ayudarles a sacar la red, cuidar las tortugas que vienen a poner sus huevos y los proyectos locales de la comunidad en donde se hacen artesanías y comida local que no puedes dejar de probar.

  Excelente restaurante con muy buen servicio

  Una de las mejores langostas del caribe. Trato agradable y sitio muy bonito con acceso a playa 100% recomendable. el mejor sitio para tomarse unos tragos y comer/cenar bien. Precio correcto y servicio rápido para la media jamaicana (y agradable)

  Maravillosa

  Maravillosa ubicación, gusto exquisito, rapidez de servicio récord en Jamaica. Preciosas cabañas al borde del mar. Hotel tranquilo. Lugar único para hacer yoga mirando al mar, paseos en bici, leer mientras escuchas las olas romper en el acantilado. Comida de cultivo local, zumos naturales. Sin duda un lugar que de momento ha conseguido escapar al turismo de masas del norte. Espero que no lea mucha gente esta crítica, para seguir manteniendo la calma. ¿Alguna pega? El coste. Nada es perfecto, pero si tienes el dinero, ¡¡no te arrepentirás!! Aún siendo caro, 250 usd cabaña con vistas al mar, es más barato que el lujo del norte. También hay opciones más baratas. ¿Algo sorprendente? Además de la inmejorable ubicación, el servicio, ¡¡¡por primera vez nos sirvieron la comida en menos de una hora en Jamaica!!!! Si te gustan los lugares escondidos de las rutas habituales, este es uno de ellos. La carretera llena de agujeros, merece la pena ¡El Pelican bar está cerca! ¡¡¡¡¡Increíble, parada turística obligatoria para ver el atardecer!!!!

  Jakes at Calabash Bay, Treasure Beach -- It's Not a dream, It's REAL!!!

  Jakes at Calabash Bay, Treasure Beach was exactly that -- a treasure, no more, it was a treasure chest of pleasure for all the senses. First off, it is beautiful. The scenery is magnificently gorgeous, so yes, great location for people wanting to see dazzling sunsets and sunrise with the sea and horizon, birds, trees, such as the sea grapes, even small manageable cliffs outside of your room, well my room, which was Jellyfish. By the mini cliff, outside of my room, were two lounge chairs, I could view the scenery on, a hammock too, but I could just sit on the day bed by my window and take in the view. or I could view Calabash Bay's beauty from the patio -- so many options to take in the view. So, that's the large scale beauty of my immediate environs at Jakes the smaller, more intricate beauty of my cottage, was the DETAILS. My bathroom mirror was framed by driftwood, shells, just small beautiful things, that made me happy. And that's the other true beauty of Jakes the DETAILS; the aesthetically pleasing details. My room door for example, had blue glass jeweled details! I understand we have Sally Henzell to thank for that. She's that friendly beautiful soul you see on the grounds, not being boss, but being the Bohemian on the grounds she obviously loves. If you follow the media, Jason Henzell, her son, may be the proprietor, but, it's this very cool, ageless lady, who seems to be behind the whole Jake's experience. There to do a recoding of a much scaled down Calabash Literary Festival, with 8 authors, each on stage separately, observing COVID protocols, I visited another author's cottage and wow. It was in the night, so my view of the approaching waves from her upstairs balcony was nighttime breathtaking and you know what? She boasted, "Oh, It's so much better in the day!" Can you believe that. It felt so magical being on the balcony, of I think It was Octopussy II, or something like that. It was also magical being with like one of my top two favourite poets! And the food! Sinfully delicious -- just like the cottages -- aesthetically detailed. Everything I had was great. I had escoveitch fish, curried shrimp in coconut milk and also the good old Jamaican A class breakfast -- Ackee and Saltfish, with fried dumplings -- delightful through and through. I'm sure Sally Henzell's home-made coconut ice cream, , was divine, but I just couldn't have ice cream, without my 13-year-old daughter. So yes, I've kicked myself since, but it was a sacrifice you know -- enjoying all this Jakes awesomeness without her, something had to give. Speaking of Jake's awesomeness, you'd certainly appreciate the bits and pieces of Jamaican cultural history you pick up at the Jack Sprat restaurant or in the lobby. from Bob Marley, to iconic Jamaican movies, like the Harder they Come to what seems to be family portraits. I never dipped in the saltwater pool, nor did I actually go in the beach, but I would have , if I stayed longer. It felt like I did though. Jakes was a real treat for my senses and a beautifully rejuvenating break for my soul. I almost forgot how warm the people were, from the reception to the dining areas. I guess that should not be surprising, since sally herself is pretty warm and obviously that naturally friendly charisma rubbed off on her daughter, Justine Henzell, who, along with Kwame Dawes organizes Calabash and hosted us writers to an awesome night and day at beautifully bewitching Jakes. Plus, the mini Calabash was awesome. When its back, it will be no less than Jakes grand!!!!
