Sea Cliff Resort & Spa

Ocho Rios, Port Antonio & the North Coast


Fewer hotels are more aptly named than the Sea Cliff. All rooms take advantage of the tremendous sea views and have balconies with hammocks. There's plenty of space to laze, and an excellent restaurant worth making a trip to in and of itself.

A pool was under construction when we visited; those who can't wait can opt for the self-catering two-bedroom cabin with a Jacuzzi in the living area. In summer, rates are slashed by at least a third.
