A GENERAL NOTE

Accommodations on the south coast of Jamaica are simpler than those  in the tourist belt along the north coast. There are no large hotels on the south coast. Most accommodations here are "mom and pop". Two words to keep in mind: "natural" and "basic".

We took the time to visit every property on this list.
However, inclusion on this list does not amount to either a recommendation or an endorsement for any property by the Calabash International Literary Festival Trust or Jake's.

Listing based on proximity to Jake's, nearest first.
