Jake’s is perhaps the most charming hotel on the island. I am a repeat visitor because the quality of service and sheer beauty of the property are unmatched - you will never experience anything quite like Jake’s anywhere in the world.

Love the quiet and tranquility at Jakes. A different experience that I love on the island…home away from home. A great place to write a book or map out projects.

DO NOT GO TO JAKES
I have traveled extensively around Jamaica and the Caribbean. On a recent trip I made the trek to the south coast to stay at Jakes. I’ve heard mixed things for years so was aware it was a roll of the dice. In the interest of time, I’ll condense my experience. When I arrived I was not greeted, waited to check in. They have no help with luggage so I schleped my bags to the furthest reach of the property to an “ocean view villa”. The only view was of a weedy dirt patch, the patio is furnished with dirty rotten out wood furniture. The room sports only 2 lights with a 10 watt bulb making it necessary to use my phone flashlight to move around and unpack. The WiFi and AC did not work. The mosquitos were comparable to no one I’ve ever been and there are literally zero amenities in room. I stay in Rustic boutique hotels often- Jake’s is not rustic it is a dump. I went to the office to inquire about a coffee maker and possibly another light and was told no one was available to help me. I could check back in the morning. In the morning I had made arrangements to check out 3 days early. The manager was defensive and let me know Jake’s is “rustic”, I reached out to the main property manager for a week as did Hotels.com to persue a refund and after 17 attempts have not had acknowledgment or a call back from Colleen the manager. The room condition was poor but the overall service was unforgivable- especially on an island that has some of the warmest people in the world.

A bit disappointing. The rooms are really huts/challets. Pretty day. Showers outside. Not reaaly worth around USD 300 per night Treasure beach is a bit limited/quite. There many better beach areas (with more happening). Its also a nit out of the way. Transport is a bit expensive.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jakes! The property was wonderful -- the laid-back boho vibe was relaxing and felt very Jamaican. The staff were friendly, attentive and professional. The food was great -- we really got a taste of Jamaica! Very clean and easy to navigate. The location to surrounding beaches, restaurants and activities was central and walkable. We'll definitely be back!

It's where Jamaican's go for a holiday, somewhat remote and away from the all-inclusives... Which is what we wanted. Check out Pelican Bar, very cool.

4th stay at Jakes. Multi generation family and friends group all had a fabulous time and with return.Villa Concierge Sasha was brilliant. She helped to arrange activities which reflected our interests and is so effervescent. I do however feel that Treasure Cot needs some internal updating in terms of furnishing and linen but the location is perfect

Spectacular! Loved this resort. I can’t wait to return. So relaxing. Our room was beautiful. Staff is top notch & super friendly. The views are unmatched. My only critique is it’s a bit difficult for seniors & those with limited mobility & better lighting would have helped with this. Wonderful vacation at Jakes. Highly recommend!!!!

We really needed a vacation and this is a great place to get away from a hectic work life. The Octopussy (honeymoon) suites are fantastic, located right on the ocean. So we fell asleep to crashing waves every night. The staff is so courteous and friendly! The housekeeping team is A !! The only down side is that the beach is a bit rocky and there's no really good place to snorkel. Definitely not a place to bring snorkel gear, which we did. Otherwise a nice place. Oh and bring lot's of Jamaican dollars, the ATM on site never seems to work. The WiFi signal also is bad.

Everything about Jakes was wonderful, but the staff made the stay wonderful and special. From the front desk to security and the dining staff ,was accommodating, sincere and caring. We lost our suitcase at MBJ airport, Chemarie went above and beyond and got our suitcase back. We will be coming back, this is a special place. Five stars for everything.

Rustic- peaceful haven!! This spot is a getaways getaway! Perfect for bonding, reconciling or just being in love. My husband and I wanted no tv, no cell, no fuss and we got that and more. We utilized the outdoor shower facing the ocean, the roof top deck looking at the ocean and the bed…facing the ocean (lol)! You wake up and open up the doors and you are literally feet away from an amazing view of the ocean. We loved this rustic spot! Walked down the road and tried the local restaurants and some local gift shop had beautiful items….I believe it was called Callaloo…loved this place

Pros: Staff do the best they can and always have a upbeat attitude. Private beach area with ample snorkeling opportunities. Cons: Tree canopy above and dilapidated infrastructure has made it a breeding ground for mosquitoes and lizards. Rural roads and few transportation resources.

I have been going to Jake’s for years. Its the best of the best. I told the owner years ago its the coolest spot in Jamaica. That remains true to this day. The property has several upgrades since my last visit such as an adorable gift shop and a lifeguard for swimming on site. All the staff is wonderful and the rooms are unique and lovely. Beds are very comfortable. I will definitely continue to return to Jake’s.
