#7 Golden Eye, Orcacabessa

#22 Jamaican Inn, Ocho Rios
#25 Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall, MoGo
#31 Round Hill Hotel, MoGo
#44 The Caves, Negril
#51 Couples Swept Away, Negril

The shocker? #6 Jake's Hotel in Treasure Beach. A few years back we took a tour of the place and although it was rather quirky, it didn't even hit on the radar for places we would like to stay (and could afford). Anyone else have an opinion?
BTW, Conde Nast is a magazine for high end travelers, not that even come close to their normal clientele. A subscription is pretty cheap as the mag must be subsidized by the copious amount of high end advertising.

Bob, my wife and I stayed at Jake's a few years back for our 30th anniversary; she had seen it featured on Travel Channel and wanted to go. It was nice but pricey, I found their restaurants to be very high priced considering the options just a short walk away. We were looking for a few quiet days and we got just that. Stayed for 3 days then back to Negril for a couple weeks. I have no regrets but would most likely pass on a return visit. Since one of our first dates was "The Harder They Come" we had some interest in Jake's history.
