Hermosa Cove Villa Resort & Suites

Amazing people. Clean friendly environment. They treat you like royalty here. Everyone is so kind. I would recommend this to couples looking for a private getaway. Food is great. Massages are wonderful. drinks are amazing! The staff make this amazing.

This was our second visit and having been before this was intentionally a short family vacation focusing primarily on the resort. As always the staff were attentive, knowledgeable and kind to our children. We didn’t see many other guests on the resort except at the wonderful restaurant (Christopher’s) in the evening so we had the pool area almost to ourselves. We swam in the sea and saw plenty and wildlife to keep the children excited and the water was clear and warm and soothing. The picture doesn’t do it justice as to how peaceful and calm and beautiful it actually is.

He viajado a lugares preciosos en mi vida pero este lugar es mágico. Es encantador, cada rinconcito es un cuadro. El paisajismo, la vegetación, las piscinas en cascada y el mar Caribe con turquesas y verde esmeralda en un contraste alucinante. Lo mejor de todo es la privacidad que tiene el lugar. Si eres de los que le huyes a los hoteles all inclusive y buscas algo súper boutique, aquí es! La playa es súper privada y en la noche la han iluminado que parece de cuento. Maravilloso, si me estás leyendo no lo dudes y quédate en Hermosa Cove.

My husband and I spent seven nights in the Calabash House at Hermosa Cove. I can't say enough about the wonderful staff who were super helpful and happy to assist in any way. Shaneil, in Guest Services, was fantastic. Our driver, Rashan, was so nice (and hilarious!) and very accommodating. The Calabash House villa has a nice view from its second story wrap-around porch. We spent most evenings with a cocktail, gazing out at the beautiful Caribbean Sea. The villa was very clean and comfortable and daily maid service is included. The resorts grounds are gorgeous and well-maintained. There are multiple paths in and around the resort, all lush with tropical plantings and many spots to sit by the beach and take in the views. The three-tiered pool with running waterfall is amazing, also with great views of the ocean. We were thrilled to see hummingbirds and parrots every day. A few suggestions for your stay at Hermosa Cove: - Take advantage of the hotel's offer to pre-stock your villa! There are no grocery stores within walking distance of the resort and to hire a driver runs $40 per trip. They'll stock beer, wine, alcohol, juices, lunch meats, bread, snacks, etc., pretty much anything you'd get in a U.S. grocery store. - Bring cash in small denominations for tips! While tipping is not required at the hotel, the service often warrants it. We were able to find an ATM while out with a driver (whom we tipped each trip) but it wasn't easy. Tipping is more expected if you use a guide at Dunns River Falls (definitely go!) or other attractions. You can tip or buy anything with U.S. dollars in Jamaica. (Note that you do not need cash to tip at the resort's restaurants.) - Bring plenty of sunscreen! The HC resort doesn't have a sundries shop and the local grocery store (while quite nice) had only one bottle of zinc-based sunscreen.

The property is the most beautiful, most natural, authentically Jamaican space that I've ever seen. The staff is all so kind, helpful and great at their jobs. There is privacy to enjoy quiet in many different spaces in either the sun or shade. Having your own villa with a pool and kitchen is amazing - it allowed us to enjoy time as a family without being surrounded by tourists. We loved everything about this place and the people. I would recommend it to anyone traveling and say it is worth every penny spent. Definitely luxury and special for my family.

Hermosa Cove first captured our hearts 12 years ago. This stay was the longest we have stayed. We spent a few nights in the magnificent treehouse and then moved to Nutmeg Villa to accommodate a group of friends who joined us. The property itself is incredibly beautiful. From the well thought-out layout to the artistic details that are not just mass produced, bland decorations, but unique and interesting artworks, it is a charming and uplifting visual experience. The care taken to protect and maintain mature trees that were already growing on the site has enabled them to have a space that is filled with birds of many species. There are parrots, parakeets and even yellow-crowned night herons nesting onsite. Waking to the sound of mocking birds and the raucous calls of parrots over the gentle lapping of waves on the beach is a real treat. Each evening, flocks of greater antillean return to the coast for the night and they fill the evening air with a wonderful song as they choose their roosts. Abundant flowers and shrubs create a feeling of privacy and seclusion even when the property is fully booked. The staff are attentive, charming, personable, and take delight in anticipating their guests needs and wishes. They create an atmosphere that makes you forget cares and worries, and just focus on enjoyment. This is a property that receives local guests as well as foreign tourists which is one of the most important features for us. Locals come to celebrate birthdays and special events at the restaurant, or enjoy the facilities as days guests, or stay like all the rest of us weary travellers from elsewhere. I could write much more in praise of this place, but I will leave it with maybe the most important endorsement: We will be back.
