Bluefields Bay Villas rings with authenticity. It’s a rare all-inclusive experience where guests are immersed in the Jamaica that existed before tourism - staying in cottages isolated from each other and the rest of the world. This is the leeward side of the island, so the waters – and life – are calm around here.

Bluefields is amazing! It is a small, family owned resort and you can tell! The employees and owners are phenomenal, and it is an extremely relaxing and restful experience. Would definitely recommend!

I cannot say enough amazing things about our stay at Bluefields Bay and Villas. If you are looking to unwind and have an amazing stay this is the place for you. The staff was amazing across the board. The food was phenomenal. We stayed at Cottonwood Cottage and loved the location and the pool. We have been to Jamaica three times but never to the Southern Coast. If you want an authentic experience with amazing service, then you need to go visit. The owner and her family still run the operation and personally make sure everything is going smooth. Definitely do some excursions. We did YS Falls, the snorkeling tour, the sunset cruise, and the guided walk up the mountain. Everything and everyone were amazing. I cannot say enough positive things about the staff and there are too many to call out by name. I give my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a special trip to Jamaica.

Our family of four stayed at Cottonwood Cottage for a week. Everything was excellent from start to finish. Our kids (4 and 7) loved our nanny, who gave us some much-needed relaxation. The food was exceptional, particularly the lobster pasta and catch-of-the-day seafood options. We also got to experience the local area and culture with hikes through the surrounding village, visiting a farm, and taking a trip to Black River and YS Falls (the crocodile feeding on our river tour was particularly memorable). The entire staff made us feel welcome and we all had a great time on our vacation to Bluefields.

Our experience at Bluefields Bay villas was amazing. From the time we were picked up and taken to the resort and greeted with drinks and taken on a tour of the villa until the time we left, everything was amazing. We stayed at the Providence house and had the upstairs bedroom with sets of French doors that open to the Caribbean Sea. The colonial three poster bed was quaintly covered with mosquito netting to prevent bites during the night. The service was amazing. Our Chef Viane greeted us and confirmed our all of the meals on a daily basis we would be having and made small tweaks along the way. They provided three meals per day, tasty hors d’oeuvres, and our butler. Jovani served exquisite drinks. They catered to all of our needs. The tables were elegantly decorated with fine china, silverware, candles and flowers. We were very private and did not actually see other guests besides our party of 6. The beach was private as well as the pool and family room. The villa was kept very clean by housekeeper Tamara, including laundry and turndown service daily. It was such a quaint setting!! I highly recommend and will return!!

Our trip to the Hermitage FAR exceeded our (already very high) expectations. It was my first time in Jamaica - what an unbelievable setting in which to experience it! Jamaica was stunning and Bluefields Bay is serene and untouched. The location allowed for excursions to nearby areas so we had the option of being secluded and relaxed at the villa or being active and seeing the sights. The pictures of the accommodations speak for themselves - the Hermitage was beautifully furnished and constantly outfitted with luxurious touches like fresh flowers, crystal stemware, and a variety of fine china at every meal. We had a blast doing whatever we wanted all day and having our every desire fulfilled by the kind and attentive staff. I can't wait to return!

There are so many adjectives that come to mind to describe our stay, I'll keep it simple with INCREDIBLE. I seldom find things actually live up to the "hype" but Bluefields does that, and more! The staff was so attentive and the accommodations so luxurious, we felt like royalty. We would definitely come again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to everyone we know.

We were drawn to Bluefields Bay Villa's San Michele property's very own private beach, pool and personal staff. The unobtrusive yet attentive personal staff consists of a chef, who prepares meals three times daily using fresh local ingredients, a butler, a driver, a housekeeper, who also tends to your laundry, a groundskeeper, a nightwatchman and a manager, who will plan day trips, spa services or other needs. The owners of the Bluefields Bay Villas have created a safe community by employing local residents, some for over 20 years. Two percent of the proceeds from renting the villas go to a community fund which supports local schools, necessary infrastructure, agricultural and educational needs, all while preserving the natural beauty of the land and sea. It is truly an all inclusive, restorative and peaceful getaway.
