Jumby bay is fantastic for families. i went over easter with 3 young children. there are no cars on island. My kids roamed everywhere. we had no safety concerns.

i think the quality of the resort can be judged by the celebrities that stay there. we rented a house at the resort. it was heaven. while we were there both Robert Deniro and Jason Sehorn and his wife Angie Harmon were at the resort. Our housekeeper told us that Howard Stern had stayed in the same house we were staying at over Christmas.

the point of the caribbean is to relax and enjoy yourself. service will never be like you find in New york, but that is not the point. as far as the caribbean goes Jumby is the best. it has its own power supply, and its own water supply, so you never have to worry about the litle quirks you may find in other places. It is completely private. Jumby is my families vacation spot for the forseable future.

We chose Jumby Bay on the recommendation of some friends who had been recently. We had booked into Carlisle Bay but the many reports of big bug problems from friends and this site put us off, so we cancelled and booked Jumby. Thank goodness we did. We are well travelled and have been to many great resorts and this is up there with the best. Beautiful setting, great food and wine, great service, great staff, great tennis coach, great rooms (we stayed in an oceanview suite with an outside bath & shower!), uncrowded with nice people. This is not Barbados, this is a private place to ‘chill out’ and it feels very Caribbean but with exceptional service. We will be back!

Let me just start with this comment . . . some people just can't be pleased. Don't let the other reviews turn you away. We didn't have any problems with mosquitos, we loved the food, and our suite was wonderful!

We were looking for a relaxing vacation to celebrate our 15th anniversary, and I am so happy we chose Jumby. The beach is beautiful--clear water, lots of sun, not crowded at all, and starfish in the water at your feet--beautiful. I spent hours reading in a hammock, under the palm trees, with a cool breeze--so relaxing-- or sunning on the white sand beach. The delicious tropical drinks are available right there on the beach and a waiter comes by often with bottled water.

Our room was wonderful. I loved all of it. The bathtub outside was one of my favorites, and the bath soaps, bath salts, and lotion smelled wonderful.

The food was great. We ordered our breakfast to be delivered to our room several mornings. This added to the relaxation of the trip. Sitting outside in the morning, gorgeous view, and wonderful coffee--kicked back reading the newspaper. Late morning or afternoon, we spent time snorkeling, sun-bathing, riding bikes all over the island, or just sleeping under the cabana.

The evening was not fast-paced or action packed, but we were not looking for that. The evening dining was elegant, and the food was delicious. It was a wonderful evening stroll to the restaurant--romantic, cool breeze, torch-lit path. We only got a ride on the golf cart once because we loved the romantic walk. You felt like you were the only ones on the island since you rarely ran into other guests.

Bottom line--if you want to spend time with your spouse or significant other, Jumby Bay is the place to go. My husband and I had a great time and love the atmosphere of elegance, serenity, and romance that Jumby Bay offers.

My husband and I have just returned from a week at Jumby Bay. We have not been there for 2 years. There have been many improvements and the hotel is just wonderful. We were delighted that the staff remembered out names. It has a friendly atmosphere. The profusion of tropical flowers is astonishing. The swimming pool is surrounded by plants and bushes. Our room was very nice-pretty 4-poster bed, large bathroom, good beach view. We found the breakfast and lunch to be the best meals. The buffets are bountiful. Dinner at the Estate House or the Verandah is quite good. Jumby Bay is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Enjoy!
