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

"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
