Family Vacation
Submitted: March 5, 2013

After spending a week at Great Escape with our 3 children (4 yr olds and a 18 month old), we can't wait to go back. The travel was not easy with our crew, some long flights then a long car ride (~2 hours from Montego Bay), but once there, it is pardise. The weather was perfect, warm and sunny every day. The location is remote, just beach/pool/walks down the road to see the horses and goats/quick stop into the Cove boutique hotel for a drink. If you like getting away from it all and don't need a lot of stimulus beyond a good book and a nap, you found it. The staff is great, very helpful and accomodating - Ann's meals were very good, hearty local foods and she was very flexible with us. Rambo was very helpful, even bringing sea shells for the kids to take back! The pool and gardens are well taken care of the house is clean. Mark was easy to work with and responsive to questions as I was a little nervous going off the beaten path with the family in tow. If you want a luxurious location with many activities, this is not the place for you, if you want a quiet beach house with a family atmosphere, no distraction - make your reservation! We also visited the town of treasure beach which is very chill - very nice people and not at all intimidating. The beach was nice and had good food at Jack Sprats. YS Falls were nice as well, go early as Ann and Rambo recommend and beat the tourists, kids had fun in the pools there and it was good to get out and see some more of Jamaica. I would definately recommend this location for families, couples, or a group. My wife can't wait to get back on a girls trip.
