We have 3 places we stay on a regular basis. On the beach Treehouse and Charela Inn are our faves. At Treehouse it's the staff and the breakfast buffet. Also the fact that Gail is a creative and accommodating hotelier and is incredibly active in the community. Charela was the first place I stayed in Jamaica and still my favorite spot on the beach. The staff there is unparalleled and they have the best stretch of beach.
But my true Jamaican home is up on the cliffs. The Blue Cave Castle is my happy place. On my second trip to Jamaica I went solo and picked the castle because I wanted to try the cliffs and it looked funky and unique. That it was and so much more. Susan and Petrona are like family and Chef Teddy is simply the best. I have stayed in almost every room and each is unique and comfortable. The vibe there is simply unmatched. We were married there in Dec. 2007. We reserved the entire property for a week and it was the best week of my life. Surrounded by family and friends I felt like the king of the caribbean. We are going back this Dec. for our 5th anniversary and I can't wait.
We have stayed other places and all were nice but these three are the top for us. Regardless of where we are staying we always visit the others and are welcomed like family.
