10/10 Exceptional

Be kind and open minded that they are recovering from hurricane Melissa. First glance is a bit rough, but go inside past the construction to learn how nice this place is. I booked this stay for my parents and they were truly pleased. Saw videos and was happy to see how the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Conveniently has parking. Love that they enjoyed their stay.

10/10 Exceptional

I was very impressed with the humility, friendliness and the unique quality of the staff going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. My initial encounter with the shuttle driver, Robert, from the airport which is only 17 mins in heavy traffic; to my first encounter with Peter, the guest house' owner, as well as Tianna, guest house keeper and Wayne, the maintenance worker, gave me the full assurance that I had made the right choice. This guest house is a hidden gem as it is not visible from the street. I savored very moment of my stay from July 25th - 28th! The cleanliness of the rooms and entire property; delicious breakfast; with additional treats of coconut water and sugar cane, which filled me up for the entire day as well as the breath-taking view of the ocean and the cool breeze; and the joy of watching the spectacular sunrise, were enough to make me tell others about this hidden gem and my desire to visit again. Thank you so much for this awesome experience. Multiplied blessings!! Keep up the great service you offer to your guests!! Thank you!!

I enjoyed the quiet area, a car is a must. The owner Peter looked after us personally and has a driver Robert. Our room was beautiful with full view of ocean. It was very reasonable compared to hotels.

Treated like we are family!

We had the best time at Waters Edge! Jay and Win are the best hosts and we couldn't help but make permanent friends with them - they treated us like family. Jay had fresh fruit and breakfasts ready for us every morning. We hope to come back to Jamaica and see our friends at Water's Edge. Joe and Laura

6/10 Good

The staff were very friendly and the view was nice. Don't think because it is water front there is a beech or easy access. Bright lights shine in your room all night and booming music plays untill 2:00 there was a problem with roaches and ants. There is nowhere clean and safe nearby to eat and getting a ride into town is very expensive for 1 option and very inconvenient for another. The wiring was a fire hazard everywhere i looked. And the barbed wire covered walls are an eyesore. you must try to find someone to let you through the gate if you want to go somewhere. There is never anyone at the desk. The expedia app won't let me add photos.

This hotel is the perfect place to have a small destination wedding.It is very affordable and right on the ocean. You can walk out on the long deck and watch a school of fish swim by. I stayed in the large room on the second floor, which had a grand view of the ocean. The owner, Mr. Robinson, was extremely helpful, friendly, and informative. He went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable. I mentioned that I wanted to eat some fruits that are not available in the US. Mr. Robinson served some of those fruits in my complementary breakfast every morning. The property is clean and it is relaxing. You can sit outside the room on the tiled veranda, listen to the ocean waves, take in the breathtaking views, and watch the cruise ships come in from afar. I didn’t have a car, but that wasn’t a problem. Mr. Robinson called one of his licensed tour guide friends (Robert) and asked him to escort me around the island. Robert’s fees were reasonable and I felt safe with him as a single woman. Robert was extremely informative about the area, and a patient driver. He took me to get a limestone massage, Rick’s Café, & Margaritaville. I had such a wonderful time in Jamaica. I would definitely recommend this beautiful hotel to anyone.
