Jakes Hotel

The place

Jakes hides on the coast of Treasure Beach, Jamaica — a jewel box of colourful structures, bohemian furnishings, and small, particular details. Rooms, bungalows, cottages, and villas make up the offering; the bungalows suit a honeymoon, the villas a family.

Driftwood Spa turns fresh, home-grown ingredients into nurturing treatments. Otherwise, the day belongs to the outdoor pool or the sandy beach. The open-air Jakes Restaurant writes its menu around whatever local produce is finest, and Jack Sprat draws a lively crowd for comfort food and drinks.
