This is a special place indeed. Such a peaceful, beautiful and private place to unwind, reconnect with yourself, and nature. The property offers good snorkeling in a protected reef, endless wild parrots in the treetops, private pools, lush surroundings, and a small quiet beach. The staff is wonderful. Thank you Sheneil for making our upgrade possible. Elvis, you are truly amazing! The restaurant offers delicious authentic Jamaican food with great service. Thank you Barbara, Aneika, and Veneisha for making meals fun and welcoming. Hermosa cove is not just a resort, it is an experience.

We stayed at Hermosa Cove for our 10th wedding anniversary, and I honestly can't say enough good things about it. It's one of those rare places that completely delivers on the promise of tranquility, romance, and beauty.

The setting is serene—just 9 villas spaced throughout a lush 12-acre property, each with its own unique style. We were lucky to stay in the Tree House Villa, which felt like a luxurious jungle escape, complete with an outdoor bath surrounded by trees.

Most villas come with their own dipping pool, and with only a handful of guests on the property at any time, the shared pools were practically private. We loved having the option to be completely alone, whether in our villa, at one of the pools, or by the water.

The staff were wonderful—welcoming, kind, and always available without ever being intrusive. It felt like we were on our own private island, but with help when we needed it.

And then there’s Christopher’s Restaurant—amazing food and easily the best dining experience we had in Jamaica. One special night, the staff arranged for us to have dinner in the private gazebo overlooking the ocean, just as the sun was setting. That kind of thoughtful gesture made our trip unforgettable.

Whether you're looking to explore (snorkeling and kayaking are available) or just want to relax with your partner in a quiet, lush paradise—Hermosa Cove is perfection. We’ll absolutely be back and recommend it to anybody with taste!

My first solo vacation was amazing, I must say the ambience of the villa was so peaceful and safe. In the morning for breakfast the ocean view sets the tone♥️. Valentine’s Day dinner was 🔥🔥🔥, private pool was a time as well. 100/10 I would recommend to everyone I know.

A beautiful complex of villas in a natural setting

My wife and I had a truly wonderful stay in the Calaloo villa for our joint 60th birthdays.

Hermosa is a small complex of private villas set within lush tropical gardens. It has its own, small private beaches, cascading swimming pools and two restaurants and a bar.

All the villas are individually designed and quite quirky, especially the tree house. Calaloo is spacious, comfortable and well equipped with lounge and kitchen on ground floor and bedroom and bathroom upstairs via outside staircase and large, wrap-around balcony. It also has outdoor eating area next to a small private plunge pool.

The staff were all fantastic - very welcoming and friendly and overall service was top notch. We are both vegetarian and the food was excellent throughout our stay.

There are plenty of places to relax around the main beach and pools and the restaurants and bar have great views across the water. The peaceful beach is sandy but has a small stony area to cross to get to swimming depth. Once beyond the stones there is plenty of sand and good snorkeling around the kelp and rocky outcrops.

Ocho Rios town is a 20 minute walk and a hectic but an interesting diversion from the serenity of the Cove.

Dunn's River Falls are highly recommended and just a short taxi ride away.

One of our best ever holidays, highly recommended and so much better than the expensive all inclusive we stayed at in Montego Bay earlier in the holiday.

Property and villa (Cottonwood Treehouse) was adorable. Nature trail on property was nice but some garbage thrown on it that took away from the ambiance. Staff was super polite, attentive & professional. Food was average, was hoping for a bit better. Pools were nice.

We stayed at Hermosa Cove for 5 nights. We came across this resort while searching for luxury villas in Ocho Rios. We have stayed at many luxury all-inclusive resorts before but wanted to try something different. This is an absolutely unique and beautiful property that is surrounded by a wide variety of trees, tropical plants, flowers, various birds and wooden sculptures. You will feel completely surrounded by nature. The staff from the front desk, restaurant, grounds staff were fantastic. We can’t forget about Elvis. He has a wealth of knowledge about this property because he has he helped to cultivate it from day one. Elvis brought us fresh coconut and mango. This made us feel very special. The three cascading pools overlooking the Caribbean ocean is so serene and beautiful. The beach area is pristine. The coral reefs is home to beautiful sea life. Great for swimming and snorkelling but you might also need water shoes. The food and drinks were excellent. Be sure the try the Caribbean breakfast, and tropical sundae. The villa was extremely clean, comfortable king size bed, air condition and kitchen should you need it. Spacious bathroom with walk-in shower. Lots of storage and closet space. Dipping pool was also nice. Lots of unique chill spots to relax on the property. This is a very quiet and relaxing resort. It’s not a party resort if that’s what you are looking for. Highly recommend this resort for peace, calm and complete relaxation. Looking forward to returning soon.

Great staff, very friendly and responsive.
Beautifull and very well-maintained grounds.
Small sand beach but good snorkeling on the property.
Small watersports staff but office is very well stocked with masks and fins.
complimentary guided kayaking trips to snorkel a nearby reef.
Decent birding on site.
very limited complimentary continental breakfast (coffee or tea, 1 piece of toast with cream cheese and jam, juice and a fruit plate) However, plenty of tasty and reasonably priced options on the a la carte breakfast menu.
limited dining options nearby. on site restaurant has a very creative chef with great Caribbean flavors. avoid the pork barbeque itis very dry and nothing like American barbeque.
some of the villas are not as exciting as they appear in the website photos. go with an ocean view villa for a true Jamaican experience.

Unique cottages. Awesome staff. Special kudos to Rob, Elvis, Klint, Jermaine, the genius. They are always smiling and willing to help and do anything to make your stay awesome. Food was awesome. They catered to all our dietary needs . Can book with your eyes closed.
Conveniently located with mins away from all activities in Ocho Rios.
Pls book resorts in Ocho Rios. All other places are far from activities. This is by far the best resort in Ocho Rios.
2 hours away from airport, but close to all activities in Jamaica . Reach out to the resort and they will assist in all transportation needs.
We are planning to go back and book their tree house cottage..

Pros:

The villas are adorable and fairly private in a picturesque setting.
The private dip pool was the best…..it’s a must for future travel!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner were very good.
I loved how the property had hammocks, chair swings and gazebos throughout.
The cascading pool area is lovely.
Paulette the housekeeper is the sweetest lady ever!
Elvis is awesome!

Cons:

The property is located off super busy Main Street. You can hear traffic and beeping all day & night unless you are directly on the property’s beach where the sound of the crashing waves overtakes the sound.

There is also random music and chanting from a nearby hotel / church that tends to begin around 10:30 am.

Though the beach area is lovely, it is too rocky to walk into the ocean for swimming.

Danielle appeared sleepy and unmotivated the few times we went to the lobby. Once she was eating lunch standing between her office and the front desk which made us feel like a bother.

I would suggest power washing the mold from the beautiful cement/stucco walls throughout the property for a cleaner/better appearance. It wouldn’t be costly.

It's hard to imagine a more beautiful and relaxing place to stay. We stayed in the Breadfruit villa, which like everything else was curated with amazing artwork. The gardener gave us an educational tour of the grounds our first morning day, taking care to show us all the plants they're able to use in the restaurant. Speaking of, Christopher's has excellent food and outstanding staff. The resort folks helped us arrange transportation around town and are also willing to help you with pretty much anything you could want. We essentially had the entire place to ourselves, including the gorgeous beach where we got to do some snorkeling. The only downside is it's a little challenging to get anywhere on foot, and to us it seemed pretty crazy to get a driver just to take us to eat a quick lunch. We had an amazing time though and I would recommend Hermosa Cove to anyone.

A Jamaican Gem!

Hermosa Cove is hidden oasis in the sea of huge all inclusive resorts Jamaica has become better known for. While the private beach, beautiful views, cascading pools, and unique, private villas are fantastic in their own right, it's the amazing staff that really made our trip. Whether it's Klent helping to book the day trip of your choice (or any other needs you need attended to), or Ryan taking you on a perfect day of kayaking and snorkeling, or Randy making the perfect beachside drink, or being recommended the perfect meal for the occasion, the staff at the Hermosa made our stay pretty much perfect. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Heaven in Ocho Rios!

Hermosa Cove was a little piece of heaven in Ocho Rios! My boyfriend and I had our own little Villa with a bedroom, kitchen, sitting room and a whole outdoor oasis that included a sitting area and outdoor shower. The grounds are kept pristine and the location is fantastic next to a bird sanctuary. It's a short drive to Dunns River Falls which is a must-do if you go to that area of Jamaica! The staff was impeccable and we even met the chef at breakfast one morning where he asked what kind of fresh fish we would like for dinner that night. I highly recommend this for both couples and families!

This is a gorgeous, secluded property close to all of the major Ocho Rios attractions. There are only nine villas, so we often felt we had the whole place to ourselves.

We spent half the trip here and the other half at an all-inclusive place and really wished we'd stayed at Hermosa Cove the whole time. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was great. We had our own plunge pool in our backyard in addition to the three pools on property and easy access to snorkeling beaches. This is a nice, quiet place to go for couples and also a cool place for families.

If you are looking for a busy, cruise-like feel with night clubs and arcade rooms, this is not it. And if you have trouble with stairs, this is not a fit. There is also only one restaurant, so there are not a ton of options; however, we had many restaurants at the all-inclusive place and almost all of the food was gross, so I would take limited but tasty options over that any day.

The villas have full kitchens, Smart TVs, upstairs patios and fenced backyards. It is very private and beautiful, and the entire property is landscaped in a way that makes you feel you are somewhere magical.

A special place in Jamaica

Hermosa Cove is a unique resort in Jamaica.
Less than ten years new, a quiet restfull place with individual artfully decorated villas, amazing landscaping, CIA trained Chef Arnold in the kitchen creating great meals, amazing staff, as well as free guided or unguided water excursions. Almost all villas except the amazing TreeHouse have full kitchens.Laundering is available a la carte.
If you have a special occasion to celebrate thia.s is the place, or if you just want the most unique Jamaican vacation, this is the place for you.

Hermosa Cove is a peaceful gem, artfully handcrafted into this seaside tropical setting. Each villa was personally designed by the owner and his wife. No detail was overlooked. Upon arrival you'll be surprised the beauty far exceeds the images from the website. The staff, without exception is friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make you feel at home and to make your vacation memorable.

Our stay at Hermosa Cove was excellent! It is a beautiful 'boutique' resort and the staff is wonderful. By the second day, we were all on a first name basis and we felt very comfortable there.

This is an amazing property with breathtaking views.

The villas were clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The concierge set up everything from transportation, to exploring the falls, snorkeling, zip lining, etc! They even set up a birthday dinner for my daughter on the beach. Everyone on staff was focused on creating the best experience for my family.

Serene and quaint with great service.

We were so pleased with Hermosa Cove. It is quiet, the accommodations were high end and unique. The landscaping, pools, facilities were beautiful and very well maintained. The staff was personable.

One important detail: the generic transfer bus from the airport (arranged by Expedia) could not find our hotel and this led to a not so great experience at midnight the night we arrived. I highly recommend arranging transportation to and from the airport directly with Hermosa Cove. We cancelled (and lost the money) for the way back, that's how bad the experience was with the transfer.

Jamaica's Hidden Gem

Hermosa Cove Villas and Resorts is a one-of-a-kind destination in Jamaica. The owners' and staffs' aesthetic sensibilities and dedication to an eco-friendly, artistically designed luxury boutique resort seems unparalled. With not even a dozen Villas, all of which are immaculate, you get to leave the tourists and chaos of other parts of the island behind in favor of an uber-tranquil vacation where there's little reason to leave this 12 acres of beautiful jungle, private beaches, amazing snorkeling, beautiful pools, and essentially 4 star cuisine - all on the premises. The resort staff, including but not limited to Chef Conroy, Elvis, Kamika, Wendy, Santini, Vanesha, Jason, Marvin, Dwanye, Kevin, Janet, and Holston, are not surprisingly as solid and top-notch as the resort itself. We're heading back next April again for our 3rd time there and 18th wedding anniversary. It's a special place, and I don't say that lightly.

An experience, unlike any other.

My husband and I traveled with our 4 children, 12,13, 18 and 20! There was something to do for everyone. The staff was incredible and food was delicious. The location was perfect to all of the tourist attractions we visited. You must visit Blue Hole Falls and ask for Ricardo! The only thing I would recommend would be to discuss the cost of taxi service through Hermosa Cove, we were a little surprised at the high cost. Overall, this was an incredible experience and we will definitely make it back.
