Hermosa Cove Villa Resort & Suites

My husband and I honeymooned in Jamaica in 2000 and decided to return this year to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We researched several of the larger resorts but chose Hermosa Cove over all of them and I’m so happy that we did! Everything about Hermosa Cove was amazing…the people, the place and the entire experience! Shaneil made the reservation process seamless and was always quick to respond to any question. Then, as soon as we stepped off the plane we experienced their unparalleled VIP service which continued throughout our entire stay. The facility is beautiful and truly one of a kind and all the staff were friendly and attentive. Even one of the owners visited with us and took time to congratulate us on our special occasion. (If you go, say hi to Auggie for us!) Again, I just can’t say enough about how wonderful this place and the people running it were! I didn’t want to leave and hope to visit again soon!

Amazing people. Clean friendly environment. They treat you like royalty here. Everyone is so kind. I would recommend this to couples looking for a private getaway. Food is great. Massages are wonderful. drinks are amazing! The staff make this amazing.

A Hidden Gem in Bustling Ocho Rios Hermosa Cove is a serene sanctuary in the middle of Ocho Rios’ lively and often chaotic surroundings. The property is quiet, beautifully maintained, and offers a level of peace and care that is hard to find elsewhere on the island. From the lush gardens to the private beach and the charming villas, every detail is thoughtfully curated. The staff is kind and discreet, making the atmosphere feel genuinely personal without being intrusive. If we ever return to Jamaica for a beach holiday, we won’t think twice — it will definitely be Hermosa Cove again. A true retreat for anyone seeking beauty, calm, and authentic Caribbean hospitality.

My husband and I spent seven nights in the Calabash House at Hermosa Cove. I can't say enough about the wonderful staff who were super helpful and happy to assist in any way. Shaneil, in Guest Services, was fantastic. Our driver, Rashan, was so nice (and hilarious!) and very accommodating. The Calabash House villa has a nice view from its second story wrap-around porch. We spent most evenings with a cocktail, gazing out at the beautiful Caribbean Sea. The villa was very clean and comfortable and daily maid service is included. The resorts grounds are gorgeous and well-maintained. There are multiple paths in and around the resort, all lush with tropical plantings and many spots to sit by the beach and take in the views. The three-tiered pool with running waterfall is amazing, also with great views of the ocean. We were thrilled to see hummingbirds and parrots every day. A few suggestions for your stay at Hermosa Cove: - Take advantage of the hotel's offer to pre-stock your villa! There are no grocery stores within walking distance of the resort and to hire a driver runs $40 per trip. They'll stock beer, wine, alcohol, juices, lunch meats, bread, snacks, etc., pretty much anything you'd get in a U.S. grocery store. - Bring cash in small denominations for tips! While tipping is not required at the hotel, the service often warrants it. We were able to find an ATM while out with a driver (whom we tipped each trip) but it wasn't easy. Tipping is more expected if you use a guide at Dunns River Falls (definitely go!) or other attractions. You can tip or buy anything with U.S. dollars in Jamaica. (Note that you do not need cash to tip at the resort's restaurants.) - Bring plenty of sunscreen! The HC resort doesn't have a sundries shop and the local grocery store (while quite nice) had only one bottle of zinc-based sunscreen.

We escaped to Hermosa Cove for a week to relax and de-stress after a rough year and we found our new favorite spot! It is an absolutely gorgeous & unique boutique resort. The villas and grounds are beautiful, with so much love and detail put into them. There are so many places to relax and unwind - no issues ever getting a spot with a spectacular view of the ocean. We enjoyed delicious food and beautiful sunsets at the on-site restaurant, played tennis & pickle ball, utilized the walking trails and signed up for morning yoga, which I loved! We walked into town one day, kayaked to Mahogany Beach and snorkeled. It was very hard to leave & we will definitely be returning!

We were fortunate to discover this property and to obtain a day pass while on a cruise that stopped in Ocho Rios. The facility and grounds are beautiful and lushly landscaped. The cascading pools offer privacy and awesome water views. I believe the customer service offered by the staff was the best we’ve ever received and we are cruise and day pass veterans with many reference points to compare. I highly recommend this property if you are planning a Jamaican vacation. It does not disappoint.
