“Fantastic Place to Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Excellent, highly recommended! We stayed at the blue house for 8 days/7 nights on our honeymoon, and can gladly say it was nothing short of amazing. Birdwatching each morning during breakfast from the balcony while taking in the stunning views, and pleasant conversation with both guests and hosts during all meals. The food is hands-down, knock-your-socks-off amazing! You'll have dishes that are traditionally jamaican, sometimes with a chinese flair, or something a little more straightforward. (You definitely need to try Darryl's scotch bonnet jerk sauce!) The service by Elise's staff is wonderful, and they will be more than willing to get you whatever you may need during your stay. Elise is also a wonderful concierge, if you want to venture out to see a side of Jamaica that is a little less touristy, as we did some during our stay (definitely ask about the off-the-beaten-path waterfall tour...it's breathtaking). We also had a great each time we traveled around town, mostly due to our driver Patrick that Elise had arranged for us. He was very entertaining and was full of information on where to go, what to see, Jamaican history, and anything else we asked about. Make sure to spend some time relaxing in one of the hammocks on the grounds as well, it's very soothing to relax listening to the hummingbirds close by. We highly recommend a stay at the Blue House and look forward to spending at least an evening or two there again in the future!

Room Tip: The Cozy Cottage is separate from the main house if you want a little more privacy from other guests...

“Luxury bed and breakfast in ocho rios”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Stayed at the blue house on the last night of a two week tour of jamaica as a treat before heading on to montego bay for a flight. The building itself is a beautifully maintained traditional jamaican house. The service from the various staff at dinner and breakfast was second to none and everyone goes out of their way to ensure everything is just so. The food prepared by the bare foot chef daryl is wonderful and we could hardly finish. The gardens the house is set in are beautifully maintained and elise (out hostess) and strive to make a little peice of paradise. We literally spent all of our time on the balcony watching and hearing the various hummingbirds feed from the sugar water she provides. I can highly recommend the blue house as a base to explore jamaica or even as a one night stop over.

“Tranquility”

Loved the setting: beautiful lush gardens and view, away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to go enjoy the nightlife if you want. The pure and clear white river just seconds away to enjoy! Let me recommend the hammock!!! We spent HOURS just rocking and taking in the scenery and watching the pretty hummingbirds and drinking rum punch! Owner Elise and her wonderful staff are warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and accommodating. It's like being pampered at home! AND THE FOOD!!! I LOVE Chef Darryl's amazing food!! ALWAYS mouth-watering!! Smells great! Looks scrumptious! TASTES AMAZING!!! Can't wait to visit again!!! THANX BLUE HOUSE!!!
