Frommer's Review

Featured in Condé Nast Traveler, this place is ideal for a luxurious vacation, a honeymoon, or even an off-the-record weekend. Six kilometers (3 3/4 miles) west of Port Antonio (most of the luxe properties lie to the east), Rio Vista is only 3km (2 miles) from the little local airstrip, nestled between the Rio Grande River and the Caribbean Sea. On a 4-hectare (10-acre) estate planted with tropical fruits, it offers handsomely furnished one- and two-bedroom cottages, with vaulted ceilings, plus a honeymoon villa with a river view. The setting is a garden of flowers, spices, and sweet-smelling herbs. A housekeeper services each cottage and can assist with meals, and candlelit dinners can be arranged.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; outdoor pool; rafting; limited room service; massage; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
