We absolutely loved our stay here. Communication with the host was excellent. The complex is gated so we felt very safe, and it was peaceful and quiet. So much nicer than a resort. There is a small cove which for swimming in the ocean. Not much beach, but plenty of area to sun bathe in on the vast lawns or around the poole This is an older complex, so if you're looking for new and fancy this isn't your place. But the unit is very comfortable with newer furniture and a great layout. Some of the kitchen utensils and pots and pans need replacing, but they are still usable. There were many small appliances which were really nice to have. The housekeeper, Carleen, is a true gem. We didn't have a car and the security guard connected us with a wonderful driver who went above and beyond just safely driving us around. He taught us about navigating the local culture, and watched out for us in every way. So if you need a driver, contact Patrick via Whatsapp, 876-346-9849. The local area is limited with services, but there are some restaurants to try. Just west of the complex is the Rocks. It was closed for the holidays so we didn't get to try it, but some other guests highly recommended it. We ended up walking 1 mile to Delly's Pizza, and loved it. They have Jamaican food and NY style pizza. There isn't a decent grocery store nearby, so you'll want to get groceries in Ochi. This unit is a great value, and we would absolutely stay here again.

If we could take the housekeeper with us we would. I felt i was visiting my family the way she made us feel welcome. Was lucky to have her cook for us 2 of the days we were there and it was quite a Jamaican meal. Apartment impeccably clean. No worries about safety as no one gets past security. I will definitely stay here again..just for the housekeeper warmth.

We had a great time at the place. Oriente and Paul were very responsive on their replies. We had Carleen come in for a day and she was so helpful. She made chicken curry and rice and peas which was delicious. The apartment and complex was older but overall clean. The cove was lovely lot of places dont have beach access. The first day we did have an issue with the ac unit in the main area but Carleen was present when it happened and helped set up to get it fixed the same day!!!!

A home away from home experience plus all the class it has to offer in the way of beautiful surroundings picturesque views and all the amenities within the property that are a must when home from home. This is all complimented with the interaction of absolutely fantastic staff to hand whether it’s for help with cooking & cleaning if required, maintenance or assistance from the main office & security. The description is accurate as experienced! 🙂If you’re able to get around yourself you can get to the shops and the local areas with ease enabling you to enjoying all the restaurants, local shops or supermarkets at Ocho Rios and if you're not able to get around main office/security will be at hand to help direct you, transportation is available by taxi or custom charter at your own cost. The owner is amazing to deal with and is super responsive, makes you feel comfortable and well taken care of, we have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Many thanks for everything.

Property in a nice quiet location with security. Small private beach and a pool which we enjoyed.

Easy/straightforward. Oriente was very accommodating and got right back to us with all our questions.

My husband and I wanted to celebrate our 10 yr anniversary somewhere we had never been. From the time that I found this listing until the last day we were there, everything has been amazing. Oriente’s communication was over the top and we just can’t brag on Carleen enough. Thank you for a much needed week away from reality.

We had an excellent and enjoyable stay. Oriente and her husband were very responsive and helpful when we needed to contact them. Carleen was /is a gem. We wished we could have benefitted from her cooking but our activities had us out of the home more than we planned for. We enjoyed preparing a few of our meals in the kitchen and sitting on the balcony. The private beach area is small but just what is needed if you want to stay on the property and enjoy the sea. The fellows at the security gate are friendly and helpful as well(we waved/greeted when entering & exiting for the day). Just a minor "wish we knew ahead of time" thing: due to the excellent water pressure in the shower (a good thing) and the design of the shower floor, be prepared for the water to seep onto the rest of the bathroom floor-try to stay behind the glass as much as possible when showering. Some of the decor is starting to show a bit of age & use but nothing that a little refresh couldn't handle. The condo is just as light and airy as the pictures show, if not more so. All in all, we completely enjoyed our stay at Sea Palms and we would do it again.
