We just returned from a far too short 6 day visit of Treasure Beach. We stayed at the wonderfully quaint Folichon villa administer by Treasure Tours. We were 9 people, including 6 and 18 month and 5 year old children...plus grandma. It's right on the beach and we had our own piece of land full of fruit trees, flowers and... More

Staying at the guest house and taking excursions with Gully and Neil (our local guides) just added to the enjoyment of our trip... More

Jamaica is a fishing nation. Sadly, tourist developments barely tolerate fishermen. Treasure Beach is unique: A series of villages in which fishing is the main occupation, but where visitors to the few tourist facilities (mostly villas, a few hotels) are welcomed. Most go 50 miles offshore to the Pedro Banks, which everyone calls "far sea" -- hence the title of... More

We arrived late in the night to Ashati village, but even in the dark we knew we were in paradise. The next morning we were greeted by the rising sun over the majestic mountains, beautiful beach and the sweet smell of hibiscus growing near by made it breath taking. We sat on the verandah sipping mint tea; the Dr. Bird... More

We went to Treasure Beach September 18-25th 2010. We stayed at the Doubloon Villa and it was paradise. Robert, Laverne and HiO were amazing and took excellent care of us. There were seven of us that went and everyone had a great time. We relaxed by the pool in the sea and went on to Jack Sprats and Jakes for... More

Treasure beach is a true treasure. There are many incredible things to in this region, beautiful snorkeling, boat rides up the Black River, bike rides through the gorgeous rural Jamaica, eating the best and freshest lobster on earth at the Pelican Bar in the middle of the sea, amazing people, and you must go to the tiny little entertainment centre...

The road to Treasure Beach from Montego Bay was very windy, and quite narrow, but worth the journey. In Treasure Beach I stayed at a backpackers Inn called Sandy Hill Cottages. Nice, relaxed atmosphere, very inexpensive. I recommend the delightful breakfast, thatched roof, food outlet at the bottom of the driveway to Sandy Hill Cottages for breakfast! French toast -...

Our group of friends have been to Negril many times, to Ochi, Port Maria and last year, (and again in 2 weeks), to Treasure Beach on the south coast. We like it because it is not as crazy and not nearly as populated with tourists as Negril. We rent a great villa with a pool, on the beach, have a... More
