Fodor's "Four miles (6 km) east of the airport, this elegant resort consists of Jamaican-style buildings arranged in a semicircle around attractive gardens." Full review
Star Service "This upscale hotel challenges the pre-eminence of the paramount pair here, Round Hill and Tryall, with service that is just as prompt and polite, and dining gets better every year." Full review

Star Service "This hotel is more sophisticated and reserved than its lower-priced siblings, Sandals Inn and Sandals Montego Bay, and the only one that comes with its own private island." Full review

If updated accommodations are important, request those in the Clarence building or the posh St. James River Suites.

"The private island's brand new over-water villas are what set the Sandals Royal Caribbean property apart from the six other Sandals resorts in Jamaica." Full review
Frommer's "The Sandals private island just offshore is done as an ersatz slice of the Orient...Asia-meets-South Pacific, with Balinese-style thatched beach cabanas, a lagoon pool, and a Royal Thai restaurant." Full review
Lonely Planet "The lobby of couples-only Sandals, done up in Georgian accents, really lays on the nostalgia for the British Empire." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Delivers a sleek jetsetter vibe...this Sandals is known for its roaming on-site peacocks, sunset catamaran tours, swim-up suites, personal butlers, and importantly, a truly all-inclusive rate"

"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 "This resort has a dramatic and eclectic atmosphere incorporating earth tones, terra-cotta fountains, arabesque archways and thatch-roof verandas." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This romance-drenched boutique hotel is the nexus of pretty much everything in the area – cooking courses, yoga classes and mosaic workshops all happen here."
Jetsetter "Rainbow-hued bohemian escape on southern Jamaica’s secluded Treasure Beach, with rustic cottages, a saltwater pool, and off-the-beaten-track charm." Full review
