“My 2nd stay and I plan my 3rd trip again soon!!!” This was my second visit to Guanaja Caribbean Cottages and I can't wait to go back again. The cottage is adorable and having top quality towels & linens are a real plus. I also appreciate the pillow top queen size bed, most places in the islands only have a mattress on a bare board! Having a full kitchen is nice, but I didn't need it, I ate all my meals ate the resort. This time I was more adventurous. Kay, the owner, took me on a hike to an amazing waterfall close to the resort. We had it all to ourselves, well a pup followed us up & that added to the island charm. We sat by the pool of the waterfall for most of the afternoon, then stopped at Bo's place for a cool drink before heading back to the cottage. I snorkeled the reef the last time I was there, but this time Kay took me on a snorkel tour to the drop off. I saw an amazing variety of sea life, including nurse sharks. Kay said 95% of all Caribbean sea life can be found at Guanaja. I also enjoyed the snorkel tour to Red Hill, it was a coral garden, also beautiful and like swimming in an aquarium. The coral & fish at the coral garden are different than the sea life on the reef, except I did see a nurse shark both places. The octopus was also amazing & the giant green moray eel. I also had a tour of the local fishing village, Mangrove Bight. The people are very friendly and the village is like visiting the old Caribbean. I loved the variety of meals- crab, lobster, lamb, and local cuisine that I had never had before. The dinners are four course and I was stuffed after dinner. The deserts that really stood out for me was the creme brulee, pineapple flambe and flan. Even the soups & salads were special. Kay makes a green papaya salad that is so good, it had fresh mango and pineapple in it and a local cheese with a homemade pineapple vinegerette. The food was one of the highlights of the trip.

“Above our expectations.” Alcatraz was above our expectations. Perfect for our family. Swimming off the dock was awesome and there is little boat traffic so it is quite peaceful. Yara is an amazing and gracious host and made sure all our questions were answered, and we were well set up. With the bbq, ample sleeping space, hammock, canoes and kayaks it was a delight. The only downside for us, as people who sleep on memory foam, is we found the mattresses a little hard, otherwise a joy!

“A Real Gem!!!” This cottage is the perfect place for two people. It is truly as beautiful as the pictures! The pool and grounds are exceptional and the view is breathtaking. The place is extremely well maintained and the owner is very kind and helpful. We had a fabulous weekend here and would gladly return!

“Want to go back” We just got home from our vacation in this apartment. We loved it. Jay took great care of us and was quick to help with any problems or needs. We rented the boat with the apartment and loved being able to walk downstairs and get onto our boat and out fishing for the day. We enjoyed using the grill on the porch and being able to eat our dinner outside enjoying the weather and views. We will definately return again. Thanks for a great vacation Jay.

“Awesome Week” My son and I spent a week at Sea Palms. Can't say enough about it; the condo is clean and well maintained. The views of the ocean and sun set are spectacular, and having Miss Rose (the house keeper) cooking meals that made it hard to put down your fork. In the evenings we would sit on the balcony and watch the ocean drinking fresh coconut water and eating fruit we picked up at roadside stands. My son would have bobbed around in the protected cove all week long. All the tropical fish you see snorkeling around in the cove are amazing. There's almost no reason to leave the grounds, but if you do there's plenty to do right near by: Dunn's River, Dolphin Cove, Beaches, shopping down town Ocho Rios. If you're looking for a place where you can slow down to the island pace of life, this is a great spot. You can head out and find something new to do every day or just sit on the private beach and forget about life for a while. Looking forward to going back!!

“Beauty, peace and serenity!” We had an unforgettable time at Two Dunes! Its a comfortable, very clean house, and Rachel and Will have thought of everything. To say its well appointed is an understatement-its as if you have your own piece of the beautiful island to yourself! We enjoyed snorkelling in front, swimming, and of course long walks on the beach (accompanied by a very sweet beach dog!) It couldn't have been a more relaxing visit, our days filled by enjoying the natural surroundings and all they had to offer. Easy to get to town for groceries, and some nice restaurants too! People are very friendly. We loved fresh fruit and veggies from Island Farms, and had fun at the Fish Fry! Already dreaming of when we can return. Thank you Rachel and Will for this very special place!

“A "Must" Place to Visit!” This new cottage is absolutely wonderful. It is very open and at the same time so cozy in a beautiful country atmosphere. The inside decor was unique and beautiful with a big flat screen TV over the mantel and wonderful kitchen. My husband, grandson (17), and son-in-law caught beautiful, huge bass in the lake behind the house, but released them all. If you ever get the opportunity and want a beautiful relaxing experience, this is a "must" place to visit! Jim and Paula archer were wonderful hosts and very helpful in every way.

“A wonderful house in a wonderful setting” My wife and I so enjoyed our time in the Stones' house on a lake. It is beautiful with all the needs any visitor could want. I enjoyed boating on the lake, seeing eagles and other creatures. The folk we encountered in the area were all friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the local church. We would return to that house in a heartbeat. Joey and Brenda Jeter

“Would recommend to anyone with no hesitation - excellent vacation in PEI” Every day spent in Bonshaw was excellent. Hiking trails are wonderful. River closeby for canoeing and kayaking. Such a beautiful place to enjoy nature. The owners were warm and welcoming and the cottage was beautiful and very very clean. Cozy cottage with view of nature. Close to everything, especially beautiful beaches. If we have the opportunity, we would love to go again!

“Wow!!!” My stay at Serendos de Paz in Villa Cocobolo was perfect. The staff was amazing and very helpful and catered to our every need. The location in Manzanillo was awesome as well, peaceful and quite and close enough to town for a little night life, but not too close. Villa Cocobolo was awesome, perfect for our needs and everything we needed to be self sufficient. The view and the jungle and wildlife was incredible. The Howler monkeys came buy the villa everyday at the same time and the green parrots joined us every morning for coffee. It was perfect, the whole experience.

“Great Family Vacation” Excellent facilities, wonderful staff with extraordinary cook, food exceeded expectations as well as accommodating children's requests. Pool, kayaks and snorkeling gear provided, we took kids fins and goggles. Would not hesitate to return.

“Wonderful place to relax!” The property was supurb, room very well decorated and comfortable. Our hosts were great! Breakfast was wonderful. I would definitely come back again...

“great location” the Office staff was courteous and welcomed me upon arrival, and showed me around. The room was clean and had a coffee maker and small refrigerator in addition to tv. Within a few steps of my door I was at the fresh water pool, a few more steps and I was on the most beautiful beach in the area! The hotel staff were attentive and friendly. The onsite restaurant was a great plus, allowing me to spend as much time on the beach or diving as I wanted, and not driving around finding restaurants. The food was fantastic! All in all, this was a great place to spend a week on the ocean, relaxing.
