El Cielo

Wonderful host. They above and beyond to accommodate me. I will definitely refer friends and family members. I would definitely visit again. The meals were fabulous. I appreciate the attention to detail.

Distance from town but I enjoyed the serenity.

The room was spacious and they had plenty of towels. The pool was clean and area very secluded. The shower was refreshing with good pressure. Hostess was very nice. AC in room was excellent. The balcony was small but adequate and gave us some great views.

Wish there had been a menu for breakfast or some fruit offered. Everything was fried or had fish in it. I can't eat fried foods and my husband doesn't care for fish. We felt awful that the hostess made us food that we didn't eat.

It’s very beautiful

Peter and Joy were amazing hosts, introducing us to all things Jamaican from their tranquil hilltop haven. Peter took us to the local mall and Fort Clarence beach (10 minutes away and had a small entry fee but felt very safe and lifeguarded) while Joy served up incredible breakfasts of ackee and saltfish, callaloo, fish fritters, omelettes and bagels. We never had the same thing twice for breakfast in our 10-night stay. We had the largest bedroom and bathroom we have ever stayed in with views to both the sea and the mountains. The pool was fab with a proper deep end! The nearest eating places at night are 15 minutes drive away in Portmore. I would recommend hiring a car, which we did, if you are going to venture further afield. We did day trips to Port Royal (1hr drive); the blue mountains (with Jamaica Cultural Tours of Kingston who were great); the Bob Marley museum in Kingston (on his birthday and 40 mins drive) and Dunns River falls at Ocho Rios (1hr drive). Really enjoyed our chats with Peter and Joy about their life adventures which they readily shared. If you want to get off the beaten tourist track and have a more authentic Jamaican experience then El Cielo is perfect.
