Jewel Paradise Cove

Runaway Bay, Jamaica

Virgin rating

The hotel

If its peace and serenity you want, you’ve come to the right place! Tucked away in a secluded location in Runaway Bay, the Jewel Paradise Cove is nothing short of idyllic. Strictly for adults only, it’s all-inclusive too, not just of meals, snacks and local drinks, but water sports galore as well — it really doesn't get much better than this. When you’re not playing, relax at Radiant Spa, a sanctuary in every sense of the word. The fitness centre is also world-class, making this an ideal choice for those interested in health and beauty. Accommodation is another treat — all rooms are contemporary with state-of-the-art technology. If you’re on honeymoon, upgrade to a Junior Suite — you’ll enjoy butler service if you do, helping to make your stay even more special. When it comes to dining, there are seven dining experiences to choose from, ranging from the laid-back, beach-side Aquamarina to the highly romantic Platinum, where you can feast on Caribbean delights. Enjoy a moonlit stroll after dinner perhaps or head to Bling! — a lively disco bar with tunes to keep you dancing until the early hours.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! We chose the room with a butler. Our butlers, Twayne and Christa, were beyond exceptional. They exceeded all expectations! I can’t forget about, Dimario and Rashade, who kept us entertained the entire trip. 10 out of 10 would recommend this resort. I honestly did not want to leave. I can’t wait to visit again!

The entertainment options were top-notch, offering nightly delights that captivated and delighted. Daily events provided a perfect balance of relaxation and excitement. Overall, my experience was nothing short of fabulous, creating memories that will linger for a lifetime. The beach area was small, but always clean . The grounds were well taken care of, and always clean and and beautiful.. there was always someone available to bring you refreshments at the beach or when dining at the buffet meals. Transportation was inexpensive for round trip airport shuttle trip. I would recommend it for an enjoyable vacation stay in Jamaica. Read less
