We once spent 3 weeks at Button Bay. We really enjoyed it, but didn't realize how good it was until we finished the month in Negril. There is a slow paced, low key nature to the TB area and to Button Bay itself that we missed a lot when we moved to the cliffs in Negril. We used to stay in Oracabessa back before James Bond Beach was invented and we loved the vibe that is similar to the TB area...lots of fishermen and farmers, not so many tourist amenities and amusements. The beach a mile from Button Bay that Kim spoke of is really hard to believe; it must be 4-5 miles long, pristine fine white sand and completely deserted...all day long, day after day, no people on the beach. Button Bay Beach Resort is one of the most interesting places we've stayed in Jamaica. It's a combo B&B and goat ranch; they breed and sell these giant Boer goats, meat goats that were imported from South Africa. The pool area is something special, and there is a little doorbell wired to one of the trees that you can used to summon kitchen staff that will bring you wonderful blended fruit rum punches... very easy to let a day slip by drinking at the pool. The inkeepers, Gladys and William, are very interesting people whose families were among the first European people in Jamaica. The inn isn't really in TB itself and rides into and back from town are provided by Button Bay. Very cool place but not for everyone, you gotta be comfortable with entertaining yourself to like it there, it ain't like Negril or Ochee but I'd go back in a minute.
