Dramatically perched on a lush green hillside above the sea, Cliffside Cottage commands stunning views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea by day and romantic lights that glisten across Montego Bay after sunset. Sunrise and sunset vistas from this vantage point are mesmerizing.

The central part of the villa is the large living room with high rafter-and-beam ceiling. This space opens wide to a wrap-around verandah that captures the breathtaking view and refreshing tradewinds.

Wonderful home-cooked meals are served on the breezy covered east verandah with a view of Montego Bay across the water ... or in the cozy and colorful indoor dining room. The staff will also create romantic poolside dinner parties under the stars at guests’ request.

Just steps from the house are the large pool and sunny terrace trimmed in exotic purple and fuchsia bougainvillea attracting Jamaica’s delicate Doctor Bird. A special treat is after-dinner coffee or Tia Maria served on the pool terrace. The pool terrace is also a wonderful spot for dancing in the moonlight under the great Jamaican sky.

A four-minute drive brings guests to Round Hill resort where Cliffside guests have membership for beach and fitness center privileges and, for various fees, a range of other activities including the Kids Club to keep youngsters entertained.
