We just came back from Jumby Bay and it was a truly unique experience for us. My husband and I went with our 8 year old son and stayed in room 31 a ocean view bedroom suite. The room itself was great and the bathroom was the best part. We hardly used the AC, the cross breezes were fantastic.
We had to get used to the laid back atmosphere, no TV, no in-room wireless, no locks on the doors, golf cars/bikes for transportation etc This is not a complaint, simply stating the facts. We were OK with it, but certainly different than what we are used to at other resorts.
The two major drawbacks were the lack of a spa and the lap pool. Although they are planning on closing this summer and undertaking a major renovation which will add a spa and infinity pools. One other issue for us were the mosquitos. We did not have the netting set up in advance and my son looked like he had chicken pox the next day. The good thing was that these bites don't itch. I HIGHLY recommend the netting.
The beach was wonderful. Starfish everywhere. A great sandbar to walk out on and great cabanas to relax at all day. Make sure you get up to reserve one with books and personal items. Also make sure to use the FREE water toys. The catamans are a lot of fun for an 8 year old.
The food was good and plenty to choose from. We like the Estate House the best and the wine selection was good, although the prices, like the resort, were high.
The island itself was great and to name drop, Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey were staying there at the same time we were.... The private villas looked great to stay in if you can afford them.
Would recommend if you are fine with the price and looking for a relaxing, laid back place to stay.
