Good atmosphere, food was not tasty at all. Highly overrated. I was actually shocked this was Hermosa Cove. The food was dry, basic and devoid of flavour

Amazing place and stunning vibe. The infrastructure looks like it is from a fairy tale. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is excellent and they have some nice cocktails.

The scenery reminded me of a city from a story book. The first thing I saw was a tree house. The landscaping was artistically natural (not industrial with perfectly aligned hedges. You'll appreciate it when you get there). Now for the food: the meat slid...off the rib bone and the pizza (I got the chicken pesto) was healthy yet taste bud friendly. Try the pecan pie. It felt like the hug a soldier gets from his family when he comes back from war. Warm and sweet enough to satisfy without killing you off. Seasoned like 5 Caribbean islands came to an agreement lol. The beach was clean as well. They allow you to walk there and I saw a couple enter the water. The staff members were professional and polite. Our waitress made sure to check up on us. I would go back, maybe even book a stay at the villa with a group. In sum: just go lolMore

First time back here since lockdown. Great venue as always but sadly let down by poor service. The only waiter/drinks maker really worked hard and tried his very best. But service was slow and generally poor. It was not fair on the server and not...fair on customers. They should not have opened being so short staffed. A great shame.More

We made reservations and dined recently on a Friday night. The restaurant was doing a barbecue so dining was only available at the The Broken Rudder. The menu was very limited to chicken and pork, so that was very disappointing. The restaurant also didn't post...or indicate the pricing for this special menu. We were given the option to dine outside under the stars and near the pools. It seemed like a perfect idea except the lighting was extremely poor. The staff did bring out a very large outdoor light but it was way too bright. We asked for a candle lit experience to add to the ambience (which they mention on the website) but were told the resort ran out of candles. So our group of five actually ate most of our meal under the lights of our cell phone flashlights. The meal itself was okay and they also got some of our orders incorrect. The staff however were very nice and tried to make things right, but unfortunately the overall experience was a bit disappointing.More

We were looking for a nice and quiet restaurant that served good food to have dinner at and found Christopher’s on Google. It ticked all the boxes and we were very surprised why the restaurant didn’t have many customers. It could be a lack of...marketing or the location because the food is good and reasonably priced. This restaurant has a lot of potentials that aren’t being maximized. And although the food was good, I do have some suggestions on the food I ordered. For the seafood soup, I hope they scrub the shells of the mussels and don’t serve the fish bones. I know fish bones make a good broth but they only need to serve the broth and not the bones. For the pesto pasta, I suggest they use fresh basil leaves. They used dried, which gives a completely different taste. A lime wedge on the side would also be nice to give more depth to the flavor.More

My friends and I stayed at Hermosa Cove and dined at Christopher's almost every night. Chef Conroy, Anikea, Rochelle and the rest of their amazing team made us feel like we were family. The atmosphere is simply breath taking. The food is fresh and amazing....They even provided a birthday cake from a local bakery for our friends birthday. Everything was above satisfactory. Some of my favorite appetizers and entrees were the smoked marlin, veggie spring rolls and the fresh catch of the day. Christopher’s is a stop you must make if you are in the Ocho Ríos area. I am looking forward to going back and visiting again. The attached photo is the yellowtail snapper which was the catch of the day. I didn’t take many pictures because we all immediately dove straight in.More

We ate at Christopher’s almost every day during our stay at Hermosa Cove. Chef Conroy and the staff were absolutely incredible. They made us feel at home and they were incredibly attentive. The continental breakfast and to order breakfast are delicious (we’re trying to see...how we can order that banana bread if mama kidd’s!). Drinks and dinner was also wonderful - highly recommend any of the seafood dishes, and get all of the apps. This is your chance to eat real Jamaican food if your are visiting from out of the country. We even were able to arrange some time in the kitchen (safely) to make some egg rolls for that night’s dinner.More
