Scotch on the Rocks is a charming turquoise... villa that sits on a small rise overlooking Sandy Bay in Ocho Rios. This oceanfront, 4+ bedroom, 5 bathroom villa is nestled in a lush tropical, orchid filled, gardens overlooking the sea. It is ideally located in a privately-nestled cove between two of Jamaica’s most prestigious hotels: Sandals Royal Plantation and Jamaica Inn. While completely private, Scotch on the Rocks is just minutes from lively Ocho Rios.

Scotchie, as it is affectionately called, was originally built by the late Scottish Lord, The Earl of Mansfield. Today it is owned by members of the Red Stripe Beer family. Present owners have extensively renovated the home with concentration on accommodating families. Victorian fretwork and warm mahogany floors are original, while Italian travertine reflects the recent renovation. Interior design is a tasteful eclectic mix of high-tech amenities combined with Jamaican and English antiques.

Everyone’s favorite gathering place is the large furnished verandah overlooking the vast expanse of deep blue Caribbean Sea. Stone steps lead from the main house down a slope to a private cove and fabulous crystal clear bay, wonderful for swimming, floating, snorkeling and kayaking. The sea entrance is by steps into water that is about one foot deep and sandy bottom, perfect for children. The swimming area is all sand bottom and about 5-6 ft. deep.

Beside the waterfront deck is an outdoor shower. The gardener will place chaises on the seaside deck and the butler will serve lunch there if you wish to stay on the waterfront all day. Scotchie is a perfect holiday destination!

  Our Stay at Scotch on the Rocks

  Left on 10/14/2011 for a stay in July 2011
  
  

  On the evening of our first day at Scotch on the Rocks, my family commented how pleased we were with the villa, the food, and the service provided by the staff. Bryan, the waiter, smiled and said, \"It gets better.\" And he was so right. We had a wonderful time at Scotchie and wished we could have stayed longer. When we arrived, we were greeted with the warm smiles of Pauline, Elvis, Bryan, Cherry, and Henry. They took great care of us and treated us like family. The villa had everything that made our stay enjoyable. The meals were the most delicious we ever tasted. Every dish was a treat! We spend our days swimming in the pool, snorkling in the ocean below, and kayaking. When my husband mentioned that he?d like to do some fishing, the staff arranged a fishing trip and he caught a huge tuna, which Cherry grilled for us the next evening. Our stay had many other memorable moments, all made possible by the kind and considerate staff. We loved Scotchie cannot wait to visit again next year

  Serene Relaxation

  Left on 08/24/2011 for a stay in July 2011
  
  

  Spent a week here at the end of July 2011 with six adults and one pre-teen. It's very difficult to come up with enough verbs to describe our stay so I'll sum it up with "as close to perfect as you wiil get." The staff is beyond compare, unable to do enough for you and then going out of their way to do something special. The villa itself is well maintained and comfortable. Meals were excellent, we had requested a mostly authentic Jamaician menu and were not disappointed, ever. Would go back in a heartbeat.
