We stayed there in 2007, I think. Babashak was the best place we've stayed in Jamaica (trip #12 coming up). Carla and Dave moved back to London shortly thereafter, apparently because their rent was raised to a level where they couldn't sustain the business. I hope they will come back someday, and keep the name Babashak so their fans can... More

I stayed here for three weeks during the 2007 cricket world cup with a friend. We were very relaxed and was treated as a member of the family. We were looked after very well and I can confirmed that Carla is the best cook in Jamaica. She provided us with some fantastic meal. We had a wonderfull time and would... More

This was the bast place I have ever stayed! Relaxed atmosphere, truly a home from home. No regimented times for meals - just as and when. Spotlessly clean and enormous rooms - bigger than I have at home! We didn't even bother to lock our rooms! Carla, Dave and her family were wonderful and catered for us and our family... More

Perfect setting in the friendliest of company and the most amazing food. Carla and her staff make you feel like one of the family and her children are an advertisement for parenthood! I hadn't realised the beach was that close or as long. After walking 30 minutes I gave up and turned around. It's handy for getting to St Ann's... More

If you're looking for a great personalized atmosphere, this is the place for you. You feel like one of the family here. The views are spectacular because the backyard is the beach. The food is also excellent and inexpensive. I mean really, where in the U.S can you get a home cooked meal at $5. The cuisine is authentic and... More
