"Funky, hip, and set on the relatively remote south coast, Jake's serves up the quintessential vacation in Jamaica."

Upper-middle-range
"With just 30 hippy-chic cottages in secluded Treasure Beach, Jake's is a member of Bespoke Hotels, a trendy, luxury hotel group." Full review
Lonely Planet
"A fantastical mix of rooms, suites, cottages and huts decked out like a fairy-tale illustration book with references to Greece and North Africa...the place has grown in dribs and drabs."
Travel + Leisure
"An utterly funky hotel overlooking Treasure Beach on the secluded south coast, Jake’s lives and breathes eccentric, from the free-form swimming pool to the multiculti, hippie-chic décor." Full review
Rough Guide
"Run by the dynamic Jason Henzell, perhaps the main player in the local tourism scene, Jake’s is a unique spot, bursting with imagination and personality."
DK Eyewitness
"Perhaps the coolest place to stay in all of Jamaica, this is the island's ultimate boutique hotel, and hub of the local tourist scene."
Star Service

Frommer's
"FDR is an all-inclusive that's the number-one choice if you're traveling with children." Full review
Fodor's
"A favorite for families with very young children, this relaxed resort goes a step beyond the usual supervised kids' programs."
Travel + Leisure
"This decidedly un-fancy resort enjoys great popularity with families because its daily rate includes a "vacation nanny" who tidies the room and entertains the kids all day long." Full review
Oyster
Mid-Range
"The mid-range Franklyn D is geared towards families on vacation." Full review
Lonely Planet
"At this Spanish hacienda-style, all-inclusive family resort, there are kid-friendly facilities and a personal nanny assigned to each child." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"A resort where your own personal nanny is included from 8:30 a.m. until 4:40 p.m. daily...children staying at the Franklyn D. Resort & Spa are unlikely to get bored: There's a 100-foot-long waterslide"
