“Exquisite 5* beach front hotel. Villas, cottages and stilted beach huts have mahogany beds, shutters and direct beach access. On site restaurants serve up traditional Jamaican styles with a twist, from their organic garden. Historic and luxurious with the emphasis on privacy. Honeymoon heaven!”

Rustic beauty in Jamaica's GoldenEye
The travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor described the house as one that “might serve as a model for new houses in the tropics. Great windows capture every breeze, to cool, even on the hottest day, the large white rooms. The windows that look toward the sea are glassless but equipped with outside shutters against the rain.”
