my husband picked this place up based on the reviews found on this site. After spending five nights at a high-end resort, we spent six days in The Blue House. Four days at the cozy cottage and two days at the Hummingbird family room. First of all, The Blue House surpassed the experience of the high-end resort in every aspect: meals, facilities, service, and overall the unique experience of sharing with the owner and her family, staff, and the rest of the guests. Unlike other reviews, I'd like to point out details not mentioned by others. The Cozy Cottage is a private paradise itself with the typical vegetation of the island, bird of paradise flowers, colorful birds, hummingbirds and friendly lizards. The music of the crickets and other little creatures bring to the evening the outstanding experience that makes the Cozy Cottage a very special place within this little gem: The Blue House. The meals are abundant in portions and carefully tailored by Chef Daryl and his assistants to please every palate and specific needs. The White river, which is in a walking distance to the B & B, is nice and cool specially for the very hot summer when a cool jump in the water refreshes the strong heat and high humidity. The close beach, Reggae Beach, is clean, quiet and its partially shallow water of bluish and emerald green hues fits specially for children and adults, alike.

The terrace brings a gorgeous view of Ocho Rios and afar, the ocean. The property behind the swimming pool is of very lush tropical vegetation that, while in the swimming pool sipping a run-punch, can transport anyone to the dreamed vacation. Beyond all expectations, the attentiveness of the hostess and her staff made our vacations a wonderful experience to remember and share with friends and family. All in all, this is a five star place.
BTW, the rest of the guests we shared our vacation with, complemented our stay in a wonderful way. This is why coming to places like The Blue House make our vacations unique.More
