Description from the manager
Fortlands Point is a fabulous villa strategically located at the lookout point where Discovery Bay meets the Caribbean Sea. Two old canons still remain on the shore of this property providing testimony to the role the land of this wonderful property once played in the defense of Jamaica. The views from its peninsula are stunning of both Discovery Bay on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other.
The villa boasts seven air-conditioned bedrooms with seven en suite bathrooms, three private beaches, 270-degree ocean views, a squash court, weight room, TV room and many other amenities. The villa can accommodate up to 14 guests with a maxim...um of 10 adults since two of the bedrooms are only suitable for young children (trundle beds).
Entrance to the villa is into a small courtyard with a pond leading to the front door. A reception/sitting area leads though to the pool deck or left to the formal dining room that seats twelve on its 100-year-old 12' mahogany heirloom table. A covered outdoor dining area adjoins the dining room as well providing charming seaside dining.
The interiors are Colonial style and feature cut stone, mahogany pieces and an abundance of teak and other tropical woods as well as Italian tile and Persian rugs which complement the dramatic architecture. With families in mind, seven bedrooms (including two specifically for children) have been thoughtfully designed on individual split-levels.
The comfortable verandah is complete with black granite bar, icemaker and television. Sunset cocktail hours here drift into leisurely long dinners under the stars on any of five open-air dining areas.
Inside is the formal dining room with 100-year-old 12' mahogany heirloom table. As a special treat, the staff will serve dinner on the very point itself, followed by a seaside bonfire if you wish ~ evenings to treasure and remember.

One word to describe Fortlands Point...AWESOME!!! Unanimous response from everyone involved. The staff was amazing. Made us feel so much at home and so friendly. It was truly hard to leave the villa, the staff, the food, the attention. The villa experience also made us unwilling to even try and fully enjoy the Ritz-Carlton experience, despite the hotel being a Ritz. Such a good time that we are already talking about how to do this again next year. One of my brothers is now considering holding his wedding there. It really was a blast.
