Clarity

I really do hope you can stay at Catcha, you will LOVE it. I am partial of course and I do really love Xtabi but I fell in love with Catcha a while back and the love is still strong! LOL
The Gatehouse cottage isnt really all that bad of a place as it may sound even though it is typically the cheapest room on the property. I would actually pick it over the Little Capricorn which is the small room inside the newer buildings.

Gatehouse is located on the cliffs, the entire Catcha property is on the cliffs it does not stretch across the street like Xtabi does.
You will enter the property through the gates and to the left will be the office/lobby/check in whatever you want to call it. Across from the office will be the path down to the ocean, Ivans, pool, etc And all of the cottages will be alined along that path too. If you went straight past the office and the path you would see the main building in front of you which houses all the newer rooms like Virgo and Aquarius and Little Capricorn and Sun, etc.
On your way to that building and just a little past the office (almost actually across from it) would be the Gatehouse Cottage, so that is what they mean by the front of the property. The cottage basically faces the street and/or the office/lobby, while all other rooms (etc Little Capricorn) face the ocean.
There is a wall around the whole property so you are not really on the street but you are closer to it then you would be if in one of the other rooms, so sometimes I hear people say they can hear the noise from the road....but that is kind of common on the cliffs unless you are in a cottage right over the ocean.

I think the Gatehouse Cottage is actually very cute and beleive me when I say (or you hear others say) that I am pretty sure I would be happy anywhere on that property.


But let me also suggest this, if you can hold out, they almost ALWAYS post specials on rooms closer to the date when they still have vacancies. So if you were up for it you could wait until it gets closer and see if they post specials on any of the other rooms

OR.....you could book Gatehouse and then while there if there is another room open maybe upgrade one night, being on site you would probably get a great deal

Check out this video for a tour of the property, its been a while since I watched it but I think they have the Gatehouse on there


...... Also, when we go we are staying at Catcha (of course) so if you have any questions, load them up and I will answer, document and photo or do whatever you need!

So excited for you!

I think we all are....this means you really caught it now.....the first year I discovered Jamaica, I went 3 times in that one year (January, May and November)!!!
