Quiet, rustic, gorgeous, lush and luxurious. If these are the qualities you seek in your honeymoon this is the place to go. My husband and I were exhausted from planning a destination wedding in negril (we highly recommend Moon Dance Villas) and we needed a place to escape. Goldeneye was perfect! We spent our days exploring the beautiful beach, grounds and the trees various guests have planted. (johny depp, naomi campbell, harrison ford...too many to name) We recommend visitng Noel Cowards Home and Harmony Hall. Evenings were spent watching Bond flicks by candle light drinking scotch and recreating scenes...

My husband and I spent a week at Goldeneye for our honeymoon after getting married in Negril. We loved the west side of the island, but Goldeneye is gorgeous! It is such a hideaway that our cab driver couldn't find it!
The staff is amazing (thanks especially to Dale, Nicholas and Clayton!!)- it's as if they know what you are thinking and are always a step ahead of you!
The food is awesome- I am a vegetarian, and a slightly picky eater- but the chef always had a meal prepared perfectly for me. My husband said the lobster is to die for.
Although we had an amazing time, it is not the kind of place for action lovers. We had been very busy planning and prepping for our destination wedding and we needed the respite, but there is not much to do on the grounds, and Oracabessa is not a happening town.
All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone who can afford it (it's on the very pricey side) for a vacation of a lifetime!

My wife and I spent 5 magical nights at Goldeneye to celebrate our 20th anniversary and in a word - WOW!! There is nowhere like this place and given the imminent expansion plans, I would encourage all to visit soon because this place is special just as it is.

You feel like you are in paradise the moment you step onto the grounds. The private beach is absolutely the best in the Caribbean- and you have it all to yourself. This place is totally secure (there are no local vendors allowed in). You can walk the entire grounds anytime without a concern. The entire staff is excellent and they all provide service that goes well above and beyond in all respects.

The food, authentic Jamaican cuisine, was amazing at every meal and while the menu is set daily, the chef was happy to accomodate all our special requests. Hats off especially to Nataleene.

Goldeneye is exactly what it claims to be - it is not glitzy, and night life is low key. If you are a couple looking for a special, quiet, romantic beach holiday with excellent food and service this is the place for you- we hope to return soon.

Simply put this was by far the best property i have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Service, food, location, villas, security, perfect. You can not put a price on perfection so just forget about the cost and go.

Excellent resort beautiful setting on Jamaica's North Coast. Beautiful beach with friendly staff too. Just a couple of flaws to the perfect weekend - cats in the dining area. OK if you are a cat lover but if not best avoided. Seondly little choice at mealtimes and pretty average food. Aside from that a great stay, but not great value for money, needs to try harder not to live on reputation alone.
