Jamaica Inn
Two miles east of Ocho Rios
This classical Caribbean inn lives up to its name. Forty-five suites have drawn visitors that sound like a gossip columnist's who's who: model Kate Moss, Phil Donahue and Marlo Thomas, actor Albert Finney, the list goes on and on. Each suite has a beach view, private verandah, and antique furnishings. The inn is also home to a noted restaurant.

Goldeneye
Oracabessa, St. Mary
Located eight minutes from Oracabessa (fifteen minutes from Ochi), Goldeneye is a one of a kind getaway. James Bond buffs, here's your chance to feel like Ian Fleming himself: this was the author's home. The house itself is now available for rental. The Ian Fleming Villa, a three-bedroom accommodation, has a garden dining area, private beach, and full time staff to whip up any meal you might choose. A private TV room includes a big screen TV, satellite programming, VCR, bar and more.

Another option is Goldeneye Village, a flexible configuration of cottages (eight total bedrooms) that can be rented as individual units or as a group. Each has indoor and outdoor dining facilities, kitchen, private beach access, and entertainment/TV room. These units are newly built and decorated with local artwork and fabrics.

Star gazers will be interested in this property; through the years it has hosted many celebrities. During Fleming's lifetime, the writer hosted Noel Coward, Errol Flynn, and Elizabeth Taylor. Now, as part of Chris Blackwell's empire, the property's stellar guest list has included Martha Stewart, Jim Carrey, Christy Turlington, Quincy Jones, Harry Belafonte, and Naomi Campbell. Each of these guests has planted a tree on the grounds and you'll find them marked with small plaques.

Royal Plantation Spa & Golf Resort
Formerly the Royal Plantation at Beaches, this small, adults-only resort is an ultra-luxurious hotel (no longer an all-inclusive). Built high atop a bluff, the hotel has a feel of exclusivity; all rooms, which are suites, have ocean views. Steps lead to the beach, where the luxury continues with the services of a beach butler. You can play golf at the Sandals Golf & Country Club or simply luxuriate in the spa.
