Our stay at the Calabash Bay villa was truly exceptional, making it perfect for our group of three couples. The picturesque views of the beach right outside our room and the outdoor shower were highlights. The hiking trip to Lover's Leap proved challenging but rewarding with breathtaking scenery. The meal on the private beach was fantastic, along with the warm hospitality from Captain Dennis and his crew. One downside was the physical intensity of the hike, which was tougher than expected.

Jakes is a true gem tucked away on the stunning south coast of Jamaica. The natural surroundings are absolutely breathtaking, and I loved falling asleep to the soothing sound of the waves. The diversity of the cottages adds to its charm, and the staff here really make the experience special with their attentiveness. However, for those who may prefer a more bustling atmosphere, the location might feel a bit too secluded.

The only drawback was that the main resort was closed for renovations, which we wish we had known about earlier. Regardless, I can't wait to return for another remarkable vacation.
