Perfect Jamaican Getaway with Stunning Clifftop Location

It's hard to be home...

My family and I have just returned from a fantastic week at the Cliffhouse in Cousins Cove and it was fantastic. The grounds were amazing, the snorkeling and diving out our front door were an every morning must. We choose the Cliffhouse because of the location with easy access to Negril and MoBay. However, we seldom wanted to leave as we just were all so happy there with the huge pool, private tennis courts and just lounging around with some great R and R. The house was very well equipped and now has Wifi which is convenient as we have teens. The bedrooms and all bathrooms were great and we simply needed nothing.

One of the biggest highlights of the trip was certainly Yogi (our personal chef) He is an amazing cook, fun, funny and is a local legend with his gourmet skills. We woke to breakfast every morning and had most dinners also at the villa. The outside dinning area was all of our favorites coupled with Yogi's great meals it was perfect.

One of the other highlights is that 2 of our children wanted to get PADI certified. Not only was it considerably less than in the states but the biggest thing is that our Dive Master came to the house and kids started diving in the Caribbean on day one. Diving or snorkeling, the Cliffhouse will not disappoint you. There is some great lobsters just beyond the reef to catch, spear fishing or just site seeing, all is great for beginners or skilled.

We have been traveling to Jamaica for many years and our kids feel welcome love the people and the culture as do we. If you are not into the all inclusive hotel thing and want to truly experience Jamaica and all it has to offer, this is a great choice. It took us around 20 minutes to get to Negril for dinner one night and of course cliff diving at Ricks and seven mile beach. We also went to MoBay to Margaritaville and the hipstrip for the day plus Mayfield falls but found we were just as happy making our own drinks and having the beautiful grounds to enjoy at the Cliffhouse. We all look forward to our return and being a foodie, I miss Yogi's cooking the most!

We had a wonderful time at the Cliff house. Everything about it was perfect, Dan had kept the whole thing a secret and told us we were going to Spain right up to the time of check in. The location was great too, so peaceful, I was always first up not wanting to waste one moment of our beautiful surroundings sitting in the hammock with my cup of tea looking out over the reef. The evenings also were amazing the beautiful fireflies and the sounds of the tree frogs.

O`neil, Angelita, Yogi were all wonderful, Vessel really looked after the boys and drove them where ever they wanted to go. We always enjoyed our walks down to the little store and of course the stop off at Bryron's bar on the way back. We had the best goodbye ever, Harvey our son, played his guitar (lots of Bob Marley stuff) and everyone in Bryrons joined in. We made some great friends and I`m sure we`ll be back. Thankyou so much .

We had an amazing spring break from law school at this wonderful and secluded property. The owners were very accommodating to our request, allowing us to bring a group of 13 people, which is more than usual for this property. Even with a group this size the house felt spacious. The rooms are great, the service from the local staff is great. O'Neil, Anjelita, Vessel and Yogi really made us feel welcome. Anjelita and her assistant's cleaning was really helpful, especially when we were so many people. Yogi made great food, especially the fish dinner he made for us. His jerk goat stew had a real kick to it, which everyone liked except one of our friends who's more sensitive tounge almost fell off from the spicyness!
We brought our own van, so we did our expedtions of our own. The trip from Kingston to Negril was a great experience, although the road conditions, especially between Kingston and the north coast is a test for both driver and particularly nervous passengers. Exploring the mountains around Negril is really recommended, we went on our own, but I assume going with O'Neil would be easier with a smaller group as some of the sights are not clearly marked on maps and on by signs.
This house is a find, well kept and at an amazing price! We really hope to return one day.
