Concierge "This 10-room inn, on a quiet hillside 600 feet above the shoreline, is like a family-run New England B&B that's been plopped among palms and bamboo."
Fodor's "With only 10 rooms, some overlooking the sea and all with views of lush hillsides, Mocking Bird Hill is much more like a cozy bed-and-breakfast than a hotel." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The restaurant at Hotel Mocking Bird Hill has become a destination unto itself, thanks to chef Melvin Laidlaw, who gets most of his produce from an on-site garden." Full review
Frommer's "This charming, homey, and well-maintained inn competes effectively with hotels and resorts that are larger, grander, and sometimes, much more pretentious." Full review

Fodor's "The Jewel, an adults-only all-inclusive resort on a small stretch of beach, is a place where you can make friends, and there is enough entertainment to make it fun but not overwhelming." Full review
Travel + Leisure "In the fall of 2010, the former Sandals property outside Ocho Rios was reborn as a couples-only, 250-room Jewel resort with a posh, gentry-in-the-tropics vibe." Full review

Book a late-afternoon spa treatment and take advantage of the evening spa party, where cocktails are flavored by locally harvested ingredients.
Star Service "Once the Jewel Beach Resort and Spa, this all-inclusive, adults-only gem continues to shine after its 2011 debut back on the scene." Full review
Frommer's "Every guest room has a Caribbean Colonial–style decor, complete with four-poster beds, marble-topped tables, and balconies. The best rooms with the best views are in the Diamond Building" Full review

Ask for a room facing the center of the property—they all have angled balconies for sea views—as those on the back, facing the neighboring Riu property, catch the noise of its disco late into the night.
