Frommer's Review
This 1950s-era retreat, 24km (15 miles) east of Ocho Rios, was once owned by Coward, who entertained the rich and famous of his day here. Coward dubbed the place -- his first Jamaica retreat -- "Coward's Folly." Today the compound is rented whole or in part to paying guests who appreciate its funky nostalgia. The compound can comfortably accommodate 10 to 12 guests, though up to 18 could squeeze in, if needed. The main house is the Villa Grande, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms with shower, plus a kitchen, dining room, and terrace. Villa Rose, a guesthouse, contains two large bedrooms, and the smaller Villa Chica is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage once favored by Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn. Meals -- Jamaican, vegetarian, and international -- are cooked by a friendly, helpful staff. All three of the villas share a single kitchen, and all meals are served at predesignated hours within a communal dining room. In some cases, the entire compound is rented out by a single party, shutting out other guests.
Facilities:
Dining room; pool; limited room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service
