GoldenEye

My husband and I have done quite a bit of traveling all over the States, the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe. Hands down, this is the most spectacular property we’ve ever stayed at. Oh! I’m also Jamaican and what Mr. Blackwell and his partner built is even more meaningful to me and the fam. The staff are incredible! So attentive, caring, knowledgeable and down right sweet. This is my second time visiting and we all agree, Goldeneye needs to be an annual thing. The restaurants serve authentic Jamaican food, but globalization being what it is, there’s an international flare to the cuisine on property. Special shoutout to Chef Ben Osher (Guerrilla pies) who’s here now assisting Mr. Blackwell with further up-leveling an already elevated experience. Come for the incredible views, service, food, music. Stay for the creative inspirations. So many books, movies, music have been created here. It’s embedded in the land. A trip here is a once in a lifetime time opportunity. Do something bold!

My wife and I were celebrating her 60 th birthday. We had a fantastic, relaxing, and restorative week. The resort is beautifully maintained in a gorgeous setting. The restaurants were great, the pools were wonderful and the beaches meticulously maintained. The only thing better than the resort was the staff. Every person we meet during our stay were pleasant, helpful, and genuinely happy that we were visiting and they were working at Goldeneye. We look forward to our next visit.

We absolutely adored this resort. The beach cottages we well appointed and super comfortable we loved the private lagoons and the secret hideaway feel of the property. I don’t think you will get anything like this anywhere else in Jamaica. This is a property that is truly loved. We loved the jerk shack and beach bar best for food. The staff are so friendly, helpful and an attentive without being overwhelming- which we loved. If there was anything I would suggest to focus on would be the food. Some stuff was amazing- jerk anything and the breakfast was awesome- but the food could be better. Spa was awesome, property - beautiful and well maintained. Rooms, very well appointed, service to none. Definitely recommend this place - and the lineage makes it super cool!

Jamaica was our honeymoon destination. Originally we had booked a Sandals resort and then changed when a friend suggested Goldeneye. It was perfect. First off, the staff is unmatched when it comes to service. Friendly faces greeted us everywhere we went and tended to our every need (or ridiculous want). Pops, Stephen and Kevin were absolute stand outs in that area. We stayed in Spanish Elm and it was a peaceful oasis. The first morning we had room service delivered to our outdoor dining area and it was spectacular. My husband and I cooked in the outdoor kitchen, enjoyed the outdoor shower and lounged in the lagoon. We asked for two single kayaks, instead of a tandem, and it was delivered quickly. A lot of time was spent paddling around the lagoon. The shower down on the lagoon landing is lovely as well. The air conditioning didn’t work well in the main bedroom so we stayed in the 2nd bedroom with no problem. Even though we were right on the lagoon, we spent most of our time at button beach (our favorite food too!) or at the pool. The drinks from the bar are fantastic (we loved the Goldeneye and the Lime in the Coconut) and the staff was quick to move our umbrellas to keep us in the shade when needed. The only time we left the resort was to go to Blue Hole, turtle release and then we asked Pops to take us into town for lunch. If you can request him for outings or a shuttle, do it. Pops made our trip complete. Loved him. I only wished we could have stayed longer!

Unspoilt paradise - with the most stunning views ! Snorkelling in waters that are protected and totally under developed it really feels like you have stepped back in time ! We have loved @goldeneye with a special thanks to the wonderful staff including Romain, Marlon and Glen
