I stayed at the Spa Retreat my first trip to JA. It is a nice spot but felt "sterile" to me, not sure how else to put it. I felt disconnected from everything while there, buy maybe that is a good thing for some? We rented one of the cottages closest to the water- If I were to stay there again, I would opt for one further from the water towards the road more (cost is more affordable too) for privacy. They have a great staff (bartenders, waiters etc) but overly aggressive masseuse's that were always chasing me down to sell a massage. Great food at the restaurant.
