I love Frenchman's Cove, the gardens and landscape is beautiful and tranquil. The private beach is beautiful. The staff was lovely and the history of the place was very interesting. I like the idea of separate houses for privacy and relaxation, even without TV's! But the houses needed much renovations! With some much needed upgrades I'm sure that it would... More

I have been coming to Frenchman´s Cove for many years now and it always feels like I am coming home. If you want luxury, forget it. This is just heaven. Granted there are some things lacking, villas need upgrading but then I think it would lose all it´s charm. Staff are very helpful. The breakfasts are delicious, fresh fruit, bread,... More

I vacationed at Frenchman's Cove Resort in June 2011 and we loved every single minute of our experience. We stayed at the Resort in Villa #3, it was very intimate, romantic and secluded. We were able to explore the entire property during our 5 night stay and still didn't see it all. The River flows through the property, which is... More

Let me start off by saying that Frenchmans Cove Resort is not for everyone...if you want to be catered to, pampered, people waiting on you hand and foot, and want spotless accomodations, this place is NOT for you. However, if you enjoy the real Jamaica, away from the hustle and bustle of the north coast, and if you are content... More

Stayed there on the 26th September for one night in a one bedroom villa suite. I could just imagine this place in its heydays. Needs lots of TLC but great grounds, great views and fabulous staff. Breakfast was avergae but the staff made up for any shortfall. Would love to go back and spend at least a week reading and... More

We had the pleasure of staying at Frenchman's over the spring break. Heaven - wht more can I say. The thing about it, there are 18 villas spread over a 45 acre property. Our unit was situated near a 100 foot cliff and each night, we went to sleep with the waves crashing into the cliff wall. The scenery and... More

The location of this resort is very quiet and not commercialized like the western side of the island. The drive from Kingston is about 2 hours through very green, beautiful lush mountains. The Frenchman Cove beach and river is picturesque, like a piece of heaven. The river is clean and crystal clear and the beach is really nice as well.... More

My Friend and I visited unexpectedly for one week in February. I found this place is like no other I have seen. Frenchman’s Cove is a quintessential piece of heaven on earth. It’s not a typical resort. It’s not overly busy. It’s quiet. Very quiet! From the ego-environment of the tropical forest to the private villa homes to the natural... More

I visited there for one week with my friend and we completely enjoyed every second of it. Our cottage was spacious and provided privacy and separate sleeping areas for us and a common living area and outside deck/sitting area. The beds were comforable and the rooms were clean and well equipped and had beautiful views through the many sliding glass... More

This was my tenth visit to Frenchman's. As always, it was a peaceful and relaxing time. Expect quiet and solitute if you like. The villas do not have television, however, TV is available in the Great House; however, who wants to watch TV when there is such beauty to enjoy. This is not a modern luxcury hotel. It was a...
