I have no idea what the above reviewers see in Frenchman's cove - it is not "retro" but rather, has not been cleaned or updated since 1955! The villa was dirty, the staff unfriendly. $20 was stolen out of my wallet -- they encourage you to put valuables in the managers safe since there is no safe in villas. This... more

Frenchman's Cove was great! We stumbled upon it on a road trip around the eastern half of Jamaica and feel lucky to have been there. We thought it would be out of our price range, but it was actually a bargain for what was provided and the ambiance. The 3 bedroom villa had fabulous views, a comfortable retro feel, and... more
