We stayed in Villa 11 as another couple did. It was very clean, and very nice. Short walk to breakfast (great!) and the stunning beach. We were only there three days splitting our vacation in half. Lovely, lush, tropical vegetation combined with the beatiful "river meets ocean" beach and the absolute serenity of the locale made this my favorite part... More

We first visited Frenchman's Cove Resort in Port Antonio, we fell in love! So, when my sister graduated in May, she chose a return visit to Frenchman's as her dream trip! It was like going home and yet the experience was a totally different experience and completely comfortable and relaxing! The hiking on the property, the famous beach, tranquil river... More

The hotel has villas which are dotted around the property and then the great house which had a few sooms. We decided to stay in the great house which has less expensive rooms. The hotel isn't fancy and definitely needs some maintenance. The staff were friendly and helpful. The best feature of the hotel is the beach, which is the... More

We spent nine days at Frenchman's Cove and enjoyed our time there. Our villa, a one bedroom #11, was almost the size of a small ranch house and was clean, quiet, and an easy walk to both breakfast and the beach. The grounds are fabulous and definitely take you back to the time that this resort was frequented b the... More

Amazing views, amazing values for the Villas, gorgeous property, and an amazing beach. The grounds are beautiful and spread out - you could have a football game in the open area that the east villa drive passes. There is a path along the bluff with beautiful views of the waves breaking against the dark rocks, just about 20 feet from... More

I want to give this hotel more than a 4 star so badly! The atmosphere is idyllic. The grounds an absolute FEAST for the eyes. There are fireflies at night!!! The beach is picture perfect and just beautiful. And, we had dinner one night at the beachside restaurant and the jerk chicken was some of the most flavorful and juicy,... More

In common with many reviewers, the enormous beautiful landscaped grounds, the peace and quiet, the spaciousness of each secluded villa, the virtually private beautiful beach were all just about perfect. Equally, however, the villas do need renovation - not to make them over glam, just to have new windows, upgraded bathrooms, and softened a little with a rug or two,... More

I love Frenchman's Cove, the gardens and landscape is beautiful and tranquil. The private beach is beautiful. The staff was lovely and the history of the place was very interesting. I like the idea of separate houses for privacy and relaxation, even without TV's! But the houses needed much renovations! With some much needed upgrades I'm sure that it would... More

I have been coming to Frenchman´s Cove for many years now and it always feels like I am coming home. If you want luxury, forget it. This is just heaven. Granted there are some things lacking, villas need upgrading but then I think it would lose all it´s charm. Staff are very helpful. The breakfasts are delicious, fresh fruit, bread,... More

I vacationed at Frenchman's Cove Resort in June 2011 and we loved every single minute of our experience. We stayed at the Resort in Villa #3, it was very intimate, romantic and secluded. We were able to explore the entire property during our 5 night stay and still didn't see it all. The River flows through the property, which is... More
