Jakes Hotel

Great place to stay if you want to get a true feel for the culture. Excellent beach that felt private. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They made sure we had what we needed for the villa to include cleaning, towels, etc. Staying out of season was challenging in that the available markets/grocery was limited so buying needed groceries to use with the unit kitchen was impossible for many items. The restaurants were limited with the property but the food was great and other restaurants are available nearby, although limited likely due to off season. Only complaint was that Jake’s restaurant unlike Jack Spratt restaurant, which I understand is also owned by the property, presented our meal tabs in US instead of Jamaican dollars which added in my estimation about $8 to $12 per sitting for 4 people. When asked they did show the Jamaican dollar cost on our tabs but when they tried to run the credit card charges in Jamaican dollars, many times the card readers at Jake’s would reject for currency mismatch. I did not experience this at any other venue in Jamaica and have not experienced this traveling anywhere else in the world. It was very frustrating, and we never got a clear explanation why certain card readers couldn’t process the charges in Jamaican dollars.

Love this place

We had a bungalow away from the main area so our wifi didn't work in the room. The door latch on the bathroom door didn't latch properly, so the door wouldn't stay shut. The latch on the window next to the door also didn't latch, so it could easily be opened from outside. The entire property seemed easily accessible to anyone but I did feel safe. The room was really lovely and private and the view was amazing. The bed was comfy but the mosquito net was pointless. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. Overall, I would stay here again as long as I have enough mobile data on my phone to keep a wifi connection.

Best choice in Treasure Beach. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Service is where they shine.

Jakes has a great rustic chic vibe, and very friendly staff! We felt safe and cared for, and appreciated the attention to details and consistent effort to make our stay pleasant. Special thanks to staff Stacy-ann, Janet and Cecil !

Amazing small hotel

One of the most relaxing places on earth for us.

This place is the one that’s existed in my dreams and only wish we could have stayed longer.

What an amazing find! Loved the chilled atmosphere and smiles …. the ever ready willingness to help … the quality of service. Shimming and his staff went out of the way for I make our stay special. A special shout out to Janet for the memorable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Very laid back bohemian style hotel with a great array of rooms. Close to the beach and local restaurants. The hotel offers several excursions to nearby attractions such as Black River and YS falls. Very much enjoyed my stay off the beaten track

Wonderful stay at Jakes (including the resident gecko or 2). Beautiful properties and facilities. Great food and lovely staff. Location is fabulous away from the busy tourist areas with plenty of good dining choices locally.

Jake's was colorful and beautifully landscaped. All the staff was friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed for a relaxing week in Treasure Beach.

It's a magical spot. Beautiful, colorful, cottages and villas all with easy access to the beach, pool, activites. The staff is friendly and the vibe is laid back. You can easily do a lot or do nothing. It's a very special place.

We loved the vibe and uniqueness of Jake’s. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. And Treasure Beach still feels like small town, authentic, old time Jamaica. I’d recommend Jake’s to anyone that wants an experience that’s different from the sterile ‘all inclusive’ resorts. Thank you for a very memorable week!

This is a beautiful resort made up of quaint cottages/rooms. Every room is it's own destination. Treasure Beach is quiet compared to MoBay and Negril, but there are plenty of walkable restaurants and nightclubs/bars.

I took my dad and my sister, and we had a wonderful time! Definitely we will be coming back!

The bed is a little too soft but the staff, service were awesome. The restaurant was very good too You don’t have many options nearby Beautiful sunset

This is a fabulous resort for those who walk the road less travelled. It's not about anything other than peace and good vibes.

We stayed at Treasure Cot at Jake’s with our 1.5 year old for 2 weeks in November and had an amazing time. The house is old and rustic but that’s part of the charm. Right on the beach and a short stroll down the local road from the main Jake’s property. Our house team (Tracy and Oshane) were so lovely and welcoming to our family in every way. Tracy prepared 3 wonderful local meals everyday for us - making modifications for our toddler where relevant. They were happy to chat and entertain visits from our toddler throughout the day. We also had a nanny arranged through Jake’s, Carlene, who was an absolute delight. We’ve been home for a few weeks and our little one is still talking about her “Carly”. At Jake’s itself, we enjoyed the spa on a few occasions and loved the cocktails at the bar. A terrific trip - we local forward to returning in years to come.

Safe, beautiful, hospitality that is unbeatble!

There is no more beauty in Jamaica than this charming resort! The design is incredible and hospitality is not to be beat.

Beautiful property!

Beautiful little Boutique hotel in Treasure Beach. I would recommend to anyone. Food is expensive but for the location it is to be expected. Go to a local restaurant if looking to save some money.

My husband and I came for a few days and very much enjoyed the casual and laid-back atmosphere of everything. We only wish we could have brought that feeling back home to the US! Lol The room was very clean and always attendees to by the staff. They were very friendly and accommodating. The bed was most comfortable, which is important to us. It is definitely a place we will add to our list of return visits.

Lovely place to stay in Treasure beach. Staff friendly. Just relax and enjoy.

I want to start by saying Adrian and Tracy were exceptional representatives for Jakes. Tracy’s breakfasts are second to none and Adrian would go above and beyond to accommodate requests. The massages were like heaven Unfortunately Jakes was hit hard by hurricane Beryl and is being rebuilt. The accommodation we initially booked was still too damaged to inhabit so they upgraded us to Treasure Cot. At this point we asked if the site would be under construction and were assured it would not, this was not the case. The pool and bar were being rebuilt, you could not access the beach by Jakes, it was an actual building site. Treasure Cot had beautiful views of the ocean, but in much need to updating despite its recent refurbishment. Given the inconvenience we felt we needed to be upgraded not just in terms of space but facilities to mitigate the lack of amenities we now couldn’t access. Adrian acted quickly! He was kind and worked to find us somewhere, he took us to Seaweed Cottage. Seaweed Cottage I am sure when it has had a full turndown is gorgeous. However, in the rush to accommodate us we had ants on the towels, mites in the bed, ants on the toilet sea, a space that needed a good clean and extremely poor internet service. Even the villas next door was having work done to it while we were sharing facilities. We left a day early because it was clear that Jakes was not ready to host guests. It was a such a disappointment and a waste of money despite Adrian’s effort.

The property was beautiful and the staff were amazing. They were very responsive and helpful despite being affected by the recent hurricane. Treasure beach and Jake’s is a warm and welcoming community

We’ve been coming to Jakes over the past 15 years, probably 6 stays total. There’s really exceptional staff, Shermaine, one of the managers is amazing and made our stay absolutely beautiful. He really took care of us. We’ve bounced around from their Calabash villa to standard rooms staying over ten days. Love the laid back vibe and the community of Treasure Beach- one of the best spots in Jamaica. The people are lovely and sweet. The food at Jake’s is very good and changes regularly- the smoked marlin dip with fried banana chips was incredible. All their rotating menu items hold their own. This last stay we noticed a slight downgrade on upkeep and bartending staff hospitality. It’s subtle and at first we thought there might be new owners. There’s biting ants around the pool and restaurant and you’d think that’s inconsequential but they’re hateful insects that leave a long maddening itch. All in all it’s an outstanding place and we’ll be back. They got smashed with Hurricane Beryl and with luck they’ll use the opportunity to regain their full luster.

Beautiful place

AMAZING place, perfect piece of paradise Staff so friendly and welcoming Food was excellent everything cooked fresh Our ocean front room was so cozy, well equipped, comfortable and quiet We are definitely coming back

Excellent was my second trip wish I had spent more time. I highly reccommend

Coleen delivered exceptional customer service. Friendly staff, clean room, very spacious and loved the little accent pieces.

Property is quiet and rustic which is good for people looking for quiet time. I would have loved an early morning coffee but the water in the fridge was icy and the coffee maker didn't work. No hot water in bathroom which is big negative. AC works.

Such a gem, absolutely stunning and the staff was amazing.

Jake’s is perhaps the most charming hotel on the island. I am a repeat visitor because the quality of service and sheer beauty of the property are unmatched - you will never experience anything quite like Jake’s anywhere in the world.

Love the quiet and tranquility at Jakes. A different experience that I love on the island…home away from home. A great place to write a book or map out projects.

Lovely and relaxing place.

The place was quaint, but great for relaxation and rejuvenation. The ocean views was amazing and the staff were A1 - extremely helpful, gracious and friendly. I would return and recommend the stay to those who love ampn eco friendly environment.

Wonderful stay for our family.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Location is really nice. However the stay wasn’t without issues. The room was nice however it had an ants problem which ended up all over our clothes and us getting bitten. We complained about this multiple times to get resolved and were informed the room had been sprayed however we don’t believe this was the case. Some of the sockets didn’t work however after informing reception this issue was resolved. The pictures are very deceiving as it said there was a private sandy beach however that is next door and open to the public. Spiders had been killed on the walls but not cleaned up. The lighting on the path to the room was bad and hard to see at night. Generally liked the stay but for the price it wasn’t worth it. We did manage to get an incident report created.

Great place. Great community. Easy and safe to walk around.

Jason and his team went above and beyond during our 2 day stay. The resort is just gorgeous. Great food. They arranged transport after our hire car was ran into and were very helpful and sympathetic. Recommend.

A charming place to stay for those who just want to relax and forget their worries. Love the quirky artistic touches everywhere.

It is the perfect place to retreat. If you like rustic and tranquility; then this is the place for you.

I have always loved Jakes.

Amazingly relaxing and beautiful. A perfect laid-back and friendly vibe, good simple and fresh food and drinks.

I have traveled extensively around Jamaica and the Caribbean. On a recent trip I made the trek to the south coast to stay at Jakes. I’ve heard mixed things for years so was aware it was a roll of the dice. In the interest of time, I’ll condense my experience. When I arrived I was not greeted, waited to check in. They have no help with luggage so I schleped my bags to the furthest reach of the property to an “ocean view villa”. The only view was of a weedy dirt patch, the patio is furnished with dirty rotten out wood furniture. The room sports only 2 lights with a 10 watt bulb making it necessary to use my phone flashlight to move around and unpack. The WiFi and AC did not work. The mosquitos were comparable to no one I’ve ever been and there are literally zero amenities in room. I stay in Rustic boutique hotels often- Jake’s is not rustic it is a dump. I went to the office to inquire about a coffee maker and possibly another light and was told no one was available to help me. I could check back in the morning. In the morning I had made arrangements to check out 3 days early. The manager was defensive and let me know Jake’s is “rustic”, I reached out to the main property manager for a week as did Hotels.com to persue a refund and after 17 attempts have not had acknowledgment or a call back from Colleen the manager. The room condition was poor but the overall service was unforgivable- especially on an island that has some of the warmest people in the world.

A bit disappointing. The rooms are really huts/challets. Pretty day. Showers outside. Not reaaly worth around USD 300 per night Treasure beach is a bit limited/quite. There many better beach areas (with more happening). Its also a nit out of the way. Transport is a bit expensive.

Always a pleasure to get-away-from-it-all and not better place to do this than Jakes. Not the first time we have stayed here and it won't be the last.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jakes! The property was wonderful -- the laid-back boho vibe was relaxing and felt very Jamaican. The staff were friendly, attentive and professional. The food was great -- we really got a taste of Jamaica! Very clean and easy to navigate. The location to surrounding beaches, restaurants and activities was central and walkable. We'll definitely be back!

Simply amazing!

We had a very wonderful time and look forward to coming back soon.

It's where Jamaican's go for a holiday, somewhat remote and away from the all-inclusives... Which is what we wanted. Check out Pelican Bar, very cool.

4th stay at Jakes. Multi generation family and friends group all had a fabulous time and with return.Villa Concierge Sasha was brilliant. She helped to arrange activities which reflected our interests and is so effervescent. I do however feel that Treasure Cot needs some internal updating in terms of furnishing and linen but the location is perfect

Jakes is like being in a dream. So relaxing. I loved everything and will definitely return in the future.

The property was an ideal getaway for total relaxation and rest. It would have helped to have a gym facility to add some alternative activity since the beach was closed.

Great experience 10/10 would recommend

We had the best time. Good, host, waitresses go breakfast, Excellent. I will be back.❤️❤️❤️.Relaxing.

Amazing ocean view, but restaurant take to long to make lubch and dinner. Other wise everything else great.

Very nice resort to relax and enjoy simple and natural living.

From the moment we arrived, the greeting, the venue, and the staff. This was an amazing and relaxing experience. Would definitely recommend.

Spectacular! Loved this resort. I can’t wait to return. So relaxing. Our room was beautiful. Staff is top notch & super friendly. The views are unmatched. My only critique is it’s a bit difficult for seniors & those with limited mobility & better lighting would have helped with this. Wonderful vacation at Jakes. Highly recommend!!!!

Very quaint and peaceful environment

Beautiful unassuming property. First time here and we will definetly be back! Good food, quiet chill vibe stayed in cockoles down and looking forwaed to trying another suite next visit!

This property is an awesome property to stay on . The property is very rustic , the cottage is just simple and has a lot of charm . Your in a peaceful environment . The staff is extremely pleasant . I would go back multiple times . I have no complaint . My stay was pleasant and worth every penny ….

We really needed a vacation and this is a great place to get away from a hectic work life. The Octopussy (honeymoon) suites are fantastic, located right on the ocean. So we fell asleep to crashing waves every night. The staff is so courteous and friendly! The housekeeping team is A !! The only down side is that the beach is a bit rocky and there's no really good place to snorkel. Definitely not a place to bring snorkel gear, which we did. Otherwise a nice place. Oh and bring lot's of Jamaican dollars, the ATM on site never seems to work. The WiFi signal also is bad.

Everything about Jakes was wonderful, but the staff made the stay wonderful and special. From the front desk to security and the dining staff ,was accommodating, sincere and caring. We lost our suitcase at MBJ airport, Chemarie went above and beyond and got our suitcase back. We will be coming back, this is a special place. Five stars for everything.

Will go back

Jakes was friendly and beautiful!

Wonderful place to unwind and relax. Staff is lovely. Rooms are peaceful. Sunsets are amazing.

AMAZING.. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE RESORTS EVER! The location and accommodation are amazing. This is such a great place to unwind and switch off. Service in the restaurant is a little hit and miss but the meals are great.

Amazing place, very old school Caribbean property. We will definately be back.

Lovely hotel and pleasant staff

Beautiful property in the quiet little town of Treasure Beach. People are warm and friendly. It was our second stay at Jake’s, and we will hopefully return soon.

Great place - clean with wonderful staff :)

Rustic- peaceful haven!! This spot is a getaways getaway! Perfect for bonding, reconciling or just being in love. My husband and I wanted no tv, no cell, no fuss and we got that and more. We utilized the outdoor shower facing the ocean, the roof top deck looking at the ocean and the bed…facing the ocean (lol)! You wake up and open up the doors and you are literally feet away from an amazing view of the ocean. We loved this rustic spot! Walked down the road and tried the local restaurants and some local gift shop had beautiful items….I believe it was called Callaloo…loved this place

Pros: Staff do the best they can and always have a upbeat attitude. Private beach area with ample snorkeling opportunities. Cons: Tree canopy above and dilapidated infrastructure has made it a breeding ground for mosquitoes and lizards. Rural roads and few transportation resources.

I have been going to Jake’s for years. Its the best of the best. I told the owner years ago its the coolest spot in Jamaica. That remains true to this day. The property has several upgrades since my last visit such as an adorable gift shop and a lifeguard for swimming on site. All the staff is wonderful and the rooms are unique and lovely. Beds are very comfortable. I will definitely continue to return to Jake’s.

Absolutely beautiful location and the staff/accommodations were amazing!

Staff are great and the facilities are excellent. Jake’s is a resort but it’s not cut off from the local community. It’s easy to come and go as you please. Everyone knows each other in town and will help visitors figure things out. There are plenty of excursion options, but no one will pressure or try to hard sell you on anything. The seafood is exceptional. Every single meal was very good…It’s just a great place.

Jakes is really a magical place. Unlike some of the properties you see on Expedia, the photos really do a good job of reflecting what this place is like: eclectic, bohemian, simple, colorful, beautiful. The food is good--you can actually get an authentic Jamaican breakfast here--and the staff is really nice. There are no TVs in the room, so bring a book and relax. Wonderful.

We stayed at the Sea Dragon, which is a lovely property , which comes with a chef and house cleaner if requested. There are wonderful views from the house and safe to walk around the Treasury Beach area. It is a nice community. The pool was cleaned daily. My only cons is that we were not told Jakes would be closed for renovation until we arrived and the Sea Dragon Villa has a few maintenance issues, which needs addressing:- Shower in one of the rooms was not working well. The oven did not work. Drains in the kitchen sink were blocked.

Absolutely loved staying at Jakes for the 4th time. Everything was spot on. Stayed at Calabash cottage. One small suggestion Perhaps either housekeeping or cottage staff could clean off the outdoor seating and chairs each morning.

Beautiful people, rooms and views. Excellent boutique hotel. Looking forward to my next visit to recharge and renew!

It’s my happy place! If I’m in Treasure Beach, it’s a must! I love love love the atom’s sphere and the authentic ambiance…. You must stay here ! Trust me…. I’ve been to all of the top hotels…. Nothing beats the charm and return to nature feel of Jakes! A forever supporter of this gem.

Liked the ocean, disliked the wasps

On of the most amazing places we have been! Loved everything and hope to come again when we can stay longer. Thank you for a wonderful few days❤️

We had a moderate trail of tiny ants in the restroom and around the restroom doorway leading into the bedroom area. I had a small bottle of tea tree oil spray and took care of the problem myself. Im sure if I’d called the front desk they would have been more than happy to take care of it for us. The stay was nice. The remote control for the AC unit was broken.

It was an absolutely beautiful place to stay! Whimsical and completely charming. Occasionally, when seated for dining we had to remind the waitstaff that we were still there, waiting. Aside from that, the food and drinks were delicious. Jack Sprat, their sister restaurant also had fantastic food. The only other issue was that there was not very much close by. Other than Jack Sprat, everthing else was a drive. It really didn't bother us, though. The main issue I had was with Expedia itself. They did not inform me that we would be staying off property. (Jake's also has a nearby cottage & villa which are quite secluded). It would have been nice to know this at the time, since when we arrived, we were expecting to stay right there. It all worked out in the end, and we had a wonderful time.

Wonderful views and service

Very serene and powerful. Loved sitting by the water and watching the waves

I love this property. Great place to stay to experience true Jamaica.

Very clean and very relaxing. Unique in many aspects. Practices are environmentally friendly. The grounds are well kept with a variety of flora grown in their natural environment. The beaches are kept in their natural state. The Ocean waves enhances relaxation. Simply heavenly!

Oceanfront, quiet, laidback

Amazing as always. Great people, place, room, food, good vibes.

Beautiful property in a lovely, quiet location which provided the opportunity to experience Jamaica and all its culture. Our room had the best views and Jakes had excellent and friendly service. We had a great time and hope to return!

This is our second trip in 7 months! We stayed Hope house for our daughters birthday and enjoyed that trip so much we decided to celebrate our anniversary there again. The beautiful Oceanview villa, the food but most of all the people will be the reason we will be back for many more celebrations. We dined at Jakes to celebrate our wedding anniversary and Adrian(who we met at hope house and who coordinated our stay then) sent over a bottle of wine. We frequented Jack Sprat(another place on the property to eat) and the is beyond exceptional. One of our servers Cassandra, along with many of the servers there, was sweet and attentive. I can't wait to head back!!!

The staff at Jake’s were professional and friendly, especially Trudy at the bar! The restaurant had a revolving menu with delicious choices. I treated myself to a fabulous massage at the spa. My ocean view room was very comfortable. This resort is pretty remote with only a few restaurants nearby but Jake’s provides for all your needs! Great place!

We had a wonderful 5 day getaway at Jake's Hotel last week. It is a sweet, pretty, low key resort with really nice staff. The room was comfortable and cleaned every day. There is a nice area to sit near the water and near the rooms. We didn't love the food at the main restaurant, but we totally loved it at the other on-site restaurant, Jack Sprat. We went on some nice walks and tried some other nearby restaurants, particularly liking Eggy's for dinner and Smurfs for breakfast. The drive to and from the airport is 2 1/2 hours, but Andre, one of their drivers, made it as pleasant as possible. We definitely recommend the resort.
