    A magical place to stay
    We have just enjoyed a wonderful week at GoldenEye. The resort has a very special atmosphere, it is laid back without being slack, it is natural but not without luxury, a wonderful balance. Accommodation is in huts or villas on the edge of the lagoon, the beach or a cove. However, I loved our beach hut. The upstairs octagonal bedroom was nestled in the trees and the wind blew through the wooden louvred windows. There was also a veranda where we could sit & watch the sea and downstairs an open air shower & bath. We spent time relaxing on Button beach where the bay was gently sloping but also good for swimming. Unfortunately during our stay the weather was stormy and so the glass bottomed boat did not venture out & water sports were also affected by the choppy sea. At the Bamboo Grill on the beach, the jerk chicken & pork, the coconut shrimp, curried snapper, pumpkin rice & wraps were all fantastic. Breakfasts & meals at the Bizot bar were also very good but we found the Gazebo restaurant a disappointment. The location is great overlooking the lagoon, the bridge and sea but at night that is lost. The food was mediocre, the service in the restaurant was poor, prices were high & for dessert they had even run out of bananas ! Overall the service was amazing. Everyone that we met, regardless of their job was charming, helpful and very proud of GoldenEye. A special mention for Nashawn & Conroy who were great making drinks and generally spoiling us at the Bamboo Grill. The two hour transit from the airport is not very interesting and visiting the Blue mountains, waterfalls or plantations involves about 3 hours driving. We were fortunate to meet Chris Blackwell and he kindly showed us the Fleming villa. This and a wonderful trip to Firefly, Noel Coward’s home were definitely highlights for my husband, an Ian Fleming fan. GoldenEye is a very special place, where you can relax in a cocoon away from the rest of the world. A truly magical visit.
    Dear annoflondon: Thank you so much for your lovely review of GoldenEye. We are very happy to hear you loved the Beach Hut experience, "hut life" which we call the ultimate of barefoot luxuries! The Bamboo Beach Grill has become a popular spot for all our guests who get to experience a little "rustic" Jamaica style menu and atmosphere. We will pass on your lovely kudos on the team, thank you! We will also definitely look into the lighting of the lagoon area more for dinner experiences - right now we have beautiful lighting on the Bridge which helps to create the romantic ambience at night. Please come back and visit again soon! One Love, Jeanine Tribley Public Relations Manager

    A Secret Oasis
    Hidden down an unmarked driveway, Goldeneye is a secret oasis. This hotel is owned by Chris Blackwell and is perfectly curated - from the vintage-inspired neon green smeg refrigerator to the outdoor clawfoot tub. The restaurant walls are adorned by record covers and magazine cutouts of reggae and jazz musicians. The staff is equally as charming, and not to mention talented - each of them singing to the reggae music in the background as they check to see how you are doing. If I could spend every day here, I would.
    Dear susannahcrowley: We thank you so much for your wonderful review! Love that you chose "a secret oasis" for this review as that is how we want each and every one of our guests to feel. Thank you so much for your compliments re the property and our team. They do seem to all be singers! :-) We hope to welcome you back soon....soon again. One Love, Jeanine Tribley PR Manager

    Very Pretty, not what we expected.
    This review has taken a few days to write. I will preface by saying we booked this vacation pre covid, and much like everyone had to cancel the vacation during 2020. The Golden Eye was unable to offer refunds, but did allow us to have an extension/credit. We decided to go for a major 10 year anniversary of a significant trauma in our lives. When we arrived in Jamaica our suitcase was taken by another passenger (Nothing to do with Golden Eye), so we did not receive our clothing or medication for 24 hours. The property is beautiful but upon walking down the stairs the beach was littered with plastic water bottles. I immediately began picking them up and was told they finished doing some construction on the beach so they washed up and not to worry, they would all be cleaned up. We were told they had recycling bins on the property but we never saw any. We picked up plastic bottles from the lagoon where we stayed and along the beaches daily. The hotel does stock plastic in your fridge, which I know most guests want bottled water, but this is adding to the already plagued ocean and sea life. The lagoon was beautiful but the oil/gas slick atop it at low tide was very sad. We also did not expect to hear very loud trucks and horns from our cabin. The out door showers are beautiful, but you must be mindful of windows above your shower from other huts. All in all, the grounds felt like a very pretty campground. The staff at the restaurant was our favorite part of the trip. They were all extremely courteous and very kind. We also were taken back by the amount of smoking on the property especially by the "non Jamaican staff/advisor". We did bring an entire suitcase of books for the "Pack for a Purpose" project and it was very non happily received. Someone just said "Ill take those" and that was the extent of it. Will we receive any tax letter from the non profit? We did have large cockroaches in our bathroom each night when we turned the light on, but I also realize our hut was over a lagoon. We needed to leave early as I developed an infection in my leg, and thankfully they did not charge us for departing early. We wish the best to the locals as they were incredibly friendly and kind and stated the place had changed management several times. The local staff was hopeful and put their best foot forward. We would not return to this location as we enjoy a bit more privacy and quiet for that amount of money.
    Dear irisholive: Thank you very much for your very honest review of your recent stay with us. We are so sorry to hear that you saw the plastic bottles that you did, as we have a very strict SOP about the distribution and collection of any plastic at GoldenEye. We feel it could have been that due to the recent torrential rain and rough seas we had on this side the island just before you arrived, could have caused some bottles to float up to the beach while the beach was undergoing some upgrades. Our Watersports team are all very meticulous in their constant watch of any plastic/garbage that may wash up on our shores, and they use kayaks to clean up anything they spot like that very quickly - so we are truly sorry you saw this....it is not the norm. We do have a sustainability program that involves every single member of our team, and everyone is very sensitive to the use of plastic, and the proper collection of any bottles we use for the mini bars. This is all being changed very soon as we 'up the ante' on all sustainability efforts. As you know, we are located on a Fish Sanctuary, that our Founder helped to form many years ago. To this effect, we have our Sanctuary Wardens who constantly monitor the sea around us to ensure there is no garbage in it, and as it is a no fishing zone, to also ensure this does not happen, in order to preserve and maintain our ocean and our precious reefs. We do hope you are able to look at our GoldenEye Foundation's website to glean our mission statement and all our current initiatives - including coral rehabilitation. As for the "oil slick" in the lagoon that you saw, our Watersports Manager did report that unfortunately that was due to very heavy rain we had recently which caused some water from a nearby roadway to the lagoon, this does not happen often, but it is out of our control. As for the insects you gleaned in the bathroom, we are also very sorry about this as we have never encountered this in our accommodation bathrooms as they are screened and cleaned meticulously, it could be that something flew in when the doors were open which again, is not a regular happening at all, but in tropical locations is a possibility. Thank you so much for your kudos on our team. Please be assured that we are most grateful for your donation to Pack for a Purpose...we are sure the agent receiving it did not mean to seem ungrateful - but we have spoken to our Front Office Manager to please remind everyone that we at GoldenEye and the GoldenEye Foundation are extremely happy and thrilled to receive anything from our guests to be donated to our school children. We will always follow up with a proper thank you letter which you will receive very soon. We do hope that you will consider giving us another chance in the future - and we do thank you for all your feedback. One Love, Jeanine Tribley PR Manager

Stayed at this fabulous resort for 7 nights in cottage 20 (beachfront) between the 6th -13th September 2023.This resort is amazing, set in the most gorgeous seafront and gardens location. It was very quiet, in a good way, which we absolutely loved, with a feeling that we were on a desert island alone. The staff were amazing, very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend Goldeneye to couples, but not necessarily for young children. This is a barefoot holiday, relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet, enjoying kayaking around the beautiful coastline lagoon, with Donald. A nice surprise to have Brushy One String performing at the restaurant. A big shout out to all the staff who looked after us during our stay, especially Anieka, Marlon and Nakita.

The answer is YES. I was looking for a fun & relaxing place to go on a solo trip, and I had the most magical time at Goldeneye. It's the perfect mix of luxury and actually feeling like you are in a distinct other culture. There are activities (guided snorkeling, kayaking, paddle-boarding, tennis, Jamaican herbal tea ceremony, yoga, etc.) but it's also easy to lose yourself in the amazing ocean and cool areas of the property. The music and the food are incredible. The spa is amazing--I highly recommend Lyndale for deep pressure & energy work. Also, you MUST request Pops to pick you up from the airport. He is so nice, knowledgable and just cool...he will definitely add to your trip and he can take you on special outings should you decide to leave the paradise of Goldeneye.

If you are looking for a low-key experience in Jamaica where you can truly enjoy a secluded paradise, this is the place. The GoldenEye is not for those looking for an all inclusive party atmosphere. It is a quiet hideaway with just enough of a nod to its history, without being too precious. The snorkeling off the property was fabulous and should not be missed. Hard to find fault with anything! One note: They do allow children, so call or email ahead if you prefer a quieter villa.

My wife and I stayed in January 2023. I wrote a scathing review that I never submitted, mostly because I felt like I had to calm down and give a fair review… When you arrive at GoldenEye, you check in overlooking the beachfront of the resort from the open air front office. The view is spectacular! We were escorted to our one-bedroom beachfront villa (number 19) and were offered a welcome cocktail as we settled in. The beachfront villas are top-notch. We loved the outdoor shower. It is essentially a one-bedroom house on the beach. The villa comes with two private beach loungers that the staff freshens up with clean towels every morning. The fridge is stocked with beverages, but they charge bar prices for them. Do yourself a favor and stop at a supermarket in Ocho Rios to pick up any beverages you might want during your stay. Spa services are excellent. Service staff are excellent as well. The lagoon in lovely. Paddle boards and kayaks are included in your stay. Breakfast was always good, especially the juice blends, but the rest of the food was surprisingly mediocre for a $2000/night stay (breakfast included, but not all inclusive). We were looking forward to one of the higher end meals served at the Gazebo only to be served under-cooked (likely frozen in the bag) gnocchi. We had better food at Olive Garden. The menu at Bizot bar is ok, but there is better, more authentic Jamaican food at the Bamboo Bar. Unfortunately, Bamboo closed a 5pm every day. The authentic Jamaican buffets is where it’s at for food. Skip the standard menus for dinner. Right next to us, in a two-bedroom villa (number 18) was a young couple with an infant and a toddler. The villas are open air with shutters. For our first two nights, the infant was screaming the entire night. On our 3rd night we cranked up the fan on the AC unit for some white noise to drown out the screaming baby. We later learned that the family staying in 18 was there to get married. During our 6-night stay, more families arrived for the wedding bringing more small children. Soon the entire resort was teeming with no less than two dozen screaming kids. One afternoon, as I laid on my beach lounger, a toddler walked up to me and threatened to throw mud in my face. Her older sister ran up and stopped her just in time. Kids were screaming and running everywhere while we tried to dine, or do literally anything outside of the villa. They kept us from enjoying the pool and beach. We decided to adjust our dining schedule to avoid the families, but there were just too many. At one point, as we were enjoying cocktails at the Bizot Bar a baby crawling on the bar floor tried to stand up using my wife’s bar stool. I understand that children are allow here, but I guess I didn’t think parents would spend $2000+/night to take their infants and toddlers to what is supposed to be a luxury resort. Bottom line: We won’t be back. $2000/night + dinks and meals is too much to spend to risk having your vacation devolve into a series of nights at Chuck E Cheese. Avoid the kids and stay at The Caves instead.

Thank you so much for your review of your recent stay at GoldenEye. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the ambiance and unique location of the property which is what makes GoldenEye one of a kind! We are also thrilled that you loved the Spa services and breakfast, which is always a hit with the Spa being the ultimate place to relax and unwind. So sorry that your vacation was not as peaceful as you had liked due to kiddies being in house. We are a family friendly hotel and most especially in the winter months, we do have families with younger kids around - and we ensure we have many lovely activities to keep them occupied. The food usually is very good and we are always working to add more to our daily menus, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and produce. The Caves of course is lovely, all inclusive - adults only - and also part of our beloved Island Outpost Group. We do hope you will join us again in the future! One Love, Jeanine Tribley & Team.

I don’t usually write hotel reviews but I had to give special acknowledgement and praise to Laurel, our guide and driver. Even though we only met her the day before our departure, she made our whole trip worth it. Laurel took us around, with love and kindness, and showed us the Jamaica I had been looking to see; the best local food and markets, the most beautiful places to see, etc. She is very knowledgeable (with over 20 years at Goldeneye) and we learned a lot from her on the history of the area and more. We were leaving the next morning and one of her colleagues had been scheduled to take us to the airport, she remembered that I was looking for a sea shell to take back and made sure to call us to give us the instructions of where to go to get it and wish us farewell. That’s how special she is. She really is the best! I wish we had met her right when we got there, and I will be following her recommendations for our next trip to Jamaica. So I will just end with make sure to get her as early in your trip as possible!

Firstly, I have to commend the outstanding staff at Goldeneye Jamaica. Avid, Lacy Anne, Marika, Nicholas, and all of the other staff members went above and beyond to make our stay truly wonderful. Their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and exceptional service truly made our stay memorable. The location of Goldeneye Jamaica is simply stunning. The natural beauty of the property, with its lush vegetation, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking views, is simply unparalleled. It's the perfect place to unwind, relax and soak up the sun. The accommodations at Goldeneye Jamaica are equally impressive. The rooms and villas are tastefully decorated, spacious, and provide all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the design, from the luxurious bedding to the stunning views from your private balcony. The food at Goldeneye Jamaica is also worth mentioning. The culinary team prepares delicious meals using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Whether you're looking for a traditional Jamaican dish or something more international, you won't be disappointed. Overall, I highly recommend Goldeneye Jamaica to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious, and unforgettable vacation. With its breathtaking location, exceptional service, and attention to detail, it truly is a paradise on earth. Once again, a huge shoutout to Avid, Lacy Anne, Marika, Nicholas, and all staff there for making our stay so special.

Our stay at Golden Eye was fantastic! I’ve been in the hospitality business for 45 years and I can only say great things about our experience there. The food was fresh, well prepared and delicious. The service couldn’t have been better as well. We stayed at one of their beach huts, which was really comfortable and very nicely appointed. The resort self is on really beautiful grounds and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Interested in enjoying time in Jamaica.

We had a wonderful stay at Golden Eye. They do alot right and could improve on a few very small things. First off, our beach hut was adorable. The bed/sheets were very comfortable and everything was working and clean. The beaches/pools are serene and well kept and the service is good. The food is expensive but well done. They should/could open up a little commissary with snacks for kids in the afternoon and/or recommend to guests to stop at a market on the way as there is a full refrigerator in the rooms! They don't really have snack options other that minibar stuffs or ordering from the restaurant. The people are what make this place so special. Romaine was a gem. Always smiling and kind and willing to help out. Joseph our driver was a fountain of knowledge and Marlon and Omar in water services were great. I highly recommend.
