Andrea, the hostess, was very welcoming, and the property had a homely feeling to it. There was a welcome sign with my name on it, and I was offered a welcome beverage. The various rooms were tastefully decorated with a variety of artwork. My room was very spacious, and I also had a balcony with chairs and a table. It was relaxing to sit there in the early mornings. The bed was very comfortable, and there were several hangers in the closet. There were both a.c. and a ceiling fan. I mainly used the ceiling fan as the weather wasn't that warm for me. There was a TV in my room, but I never watched it. The flow of the water in the bathroom was very good, and the toiletries were in good sized bottles which were refilled if needed. They also smelt nice. I liked that there were hooks behind the bathroom door and a towel rack. I also noticed that there was an additional restroom outside my room which I thought to be helpful in the event that you are sharing your room and the bedroom restroom is occupied. The grounds were well kept and had a variety of fruit trees. The pool was kid-friendly, and there were both a restroom and a changing room along with an outdoor shower. Two of my favourite spots were the hammock under the breadfruit tree (perfect after sightseeing), and the sitting area by the upstairs balcony to enjoy my evening tea. There was also a tea station which I found to be very handy. I only had breakfast at the property, and it was a great way to start the day. It included fruits, porridge, freshly made juice, and a typical Jamaican breakfast with ground provisions. As stated on the website, a pretty decent beach is seven minutes walk away, and the town is 5 minutes walk away using a shortcut. The neighbourhood is safe, and there are usually persons around. Finally, the location was ideally located especially if you are travelling via Knutsford Express. Andrea was even kind enough to take me to Knutsford Express when I was departing.

That I couldn't have stayed a little longer.

I fully enjoy myself at blue polamo the staff was very helpful and supportive the breakfast was excellent the chef prepare the best breakfast every and the staff clean my room daily, l never travel alone to Jamaica 🇯🇲 before on my own and the staff look after me very well l will be coming back to blue polamo and l would recommend blue polamo to my friends and family, best place ever I give it 5 ⭐️ l be back very soon 👍 xx

The place so clean The staff friendly and helpful the location to get to the beach ⛱️ and you can get round the places no stress

Staff were friendly and professional. They were always helpful with everything. It felt like a home away from home. Very comfortable and safe. The 3 course breakfast was was A plus every morning. Walking distance from the town and beach was great also. Hot water showers and no bugs were also great. I would definitely recommend and rebook with Blue Paloma again.

I do wish the bed was bigger. Queen size, However, this did not spoil my vacation

Conroy the chef is an excellent cook the breakfast was delicious.We enjoy every meal he prepared. Tina was awesome very pleasant and informative with any questions and response . Andrea was incredible she was an awesome host. She made us feel welcome and comfortable at Paloma . I’ll definitely return for another visit

The location the staff the property was in excellent condition. The pool the grounds just awesome. I felt comfortable being in this wonderful environment

A beautiful building and peaceful location surrounded by fruit trees. The bedroom was very comfortable and everything is decorated and furnished to a high quality. Breakfasts in the morning were super tasty and different everyday. I loved that I got to try local cuisine cooked so well! The location is a quick walk town the hill to the local town Lucea and Watson Taylor Park beach. It was a clean and well looked after beach and you often have the beach to yourself! Staff a the Blue Paloma were always very helpful with advice and booking taxis. We went to a few local restaurants in the evening and you need a taxi or car to get there. Peppe Monte or Reggae Paradise (walkable distance but probably not good journey to walk in the dark). The supermarkets in town have everything you need and the best patty we had was at Juicy Patties! I definitely think we would have benefitted from having a car as it’s a very quiet place (which was lovely and much needed!) but it’s expensive to get chartered taxis and do excursions. We used local taxis from the depot in town to move around locally like to Negril but the driving was pretty precarious and they do stop a lot but very cheap in comparison. We paid 800 Jamaican dollars to get to Negril and a chartered taxi would be about 60 USD or more. We loved seeing the authentic Jamaica and getting to know the locals in town. Thanks for a lovely, relaxing stay.

Towels in the bathrooms are small and it would be good to have a couple, one for hair and one for body but I’m sure if I had asked I would have been given them. A hairdryer in the room would have been good too but again I didn’t ask! There was a kettle and cups outside the room in the living room area but no coffee or milk was shown to us. Would be a nice extra to have this stocked up for guests for a morning coffee in your room first thing before breakfast. It might be helpful to have an info sheet in the room regarding booking excursions, local sites etc. but saying this everyone was really helpful and informative when asked and there was also someone to talk to.

I would stay here again, especially if I had a car. I think Andrea, the host, was extraordinary, and all her staff were wonderful. I was a bit shy about sharing a space at the breakfast table with other guests whom I didn't know, but we all ended up talking with each other, for the most part. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're seeking an experience *off* the touristy path. I'm a Jamaican, so I know the island well, and this parish of Jamaica is truly lovely.

Everything was pretty good, I think. The breakfasts were delicious, although I would have preferred *Jamaican* breakfast every day, not an American breakfast one day and a Jamaican breakfast another day. I also didn't particularly like having to download an app in order to operate the security gate - that was a little boring - but I did it, and once I did it, it was over.

My husband surprised me with a stay at this wonderful place as one of my anniversary gifts, and let me tell you, it was PERFECT 🥰! After we checked in, the first thing I thought of was Stephanie Mills' song, HOME. Some of the words immediately came to my mind. "When I think of home, I think of a resting place.... A place where there's peace, quiet, and serenity.....a place with love overflowing..." It was all of that and then some! The decor was amazing, just as pictured in the ad, and the staff were just as amazing as the stay. We were greeted by Tanya (unsure of how she spells it), who was very gracious with a bright smile even though we arrived late. We arrived late, but it felt like we just made it home late in the comforts of home, so we slept like a baby. The morning was quiet, but there was a scent of breakfast being prepared, just like home. The breakfast and dinner meal was prepared by a wonderful chef, Chef Conroy. Seating was at a long table, with other guests, like family, just like home. We ventured off to the beach after breakfast. The sea was rough yet relaxing to listen to as it slapped the sand at shore and crashed upon the rocks. Afterward, we walked to town and back through the neighborhood and circled back to HOME.😊 We will definitely add this to a place to return to in the future. Thank you, Andrea and staff, for a wonderful stay!!!

There is nothing we did not like. I challenge all to book a stay so they too can experience the feeling of taking a vacation to HOME AWAY FROM HOME.

Though our stay at Blue Paloma was a short phase 😊, it has definitely left a lasting and fantastic impression. The bluish-gray roof and walls of the Paloma greeted us as we approached the corner. It was exactly as pictured and advertised. Upon driving in, it felt like we were coming home. And then, once we met Andrea, Tania, and Chef Conroy, it definitely felt like home. We felt so welcomed, comfortable, taken care of and safe. The property is nicely decorated, has all the comforts of home, is very clean and well-maintained. Two of our favorite spots were the spacious and relaxing upstairs living room/sitting area and the large upstairs balcony overlooking the neighborhood. I also loved that our room had a balcony that allowed us to enjoy the outdoors from the privacy of our room. Hopefully next time it will be sunny so we can enjoy the pool. And, let me tell you, the food was divine! I wish we had more days there to indulge in chef Conroy’s breakfasts and dinners. Everything …including the juices and salad dressings are from scratch. We will most definitely be staying here again soon and will highly recommend it to our family and friends!

This B&B is fantastic. The home feels very comfortable. We had a great trip getting to know the staff and other visitors. The chef makes wonderful breakfasts (and optional dinners for extra$). Andrea, the owner, was not present that week, but you can tell that she has worked really hard to develop this amazing business. The staff was very responsive to any of our needs.

If you are staying at the Blue Paloma, you should realize that the town of Lucea is not touristy at all. Even though this is what we were looking for, it was a bit difficult to navigate. We decided to head back to Montego Bay and rent a car, which made things much better. The B&B is a bit of an island (think food, attractions, etc). If you want to hunker down and stay at a high end B&B and just sit by a great pool, it is fantastic. If you are a bit more adventurous, you need to plan on transportation.

It is with sad regret that I have to write this review, only because I am leaving today. No that I’ve had a moment of silence, it was so nice to see a place that is EXACTLY what you see in the pics. Although I did not get the opportunity to meet Andrea, she texted me throughout my stay to ensure my stay was going well, which warmed my heart. She has THE BEST staff in Jamaica!! Tanya, Tamara, Conroy, Monessa, and everyone were all so personable and welcoming!! The room was perfect and had all I the accommodations that I needed. I slept like I was in my own bed! Daily room cleaning while I was out was a nice touch after a long day. The food was delicious! Daily 3 course chef’s choice breakfast and 3 course dinner is by request.The pool was sparkling clean!! I got a poolside massage that was the best I have ever experienced!! I could tell that Jodie is a master of her craft. This was my best vacation ever!! I began planning a girls trip my first day! I will ABSOLUTELY be back here very soon!!

NOTHING!!
