This was my fourth time at Goldeneye and my second this year. There is nowhere I would rather swim. The lagoon is fed by salt water, and certainly the best swimming pool I have ever been in. It also fun to kayak on it, and each lagoon suite has its own kayak. The food is spectacular. I recommend the plantain... More

Mr. Blackwell has done it again.We spend a lot of time in JA. so I have covered plenty of ground over the years, and Goldeneye has quickly become one our favorite places on the island. All of the villas are beautiful. We stayed in a 2 bedroom Beach Villa, and it was incredible. Elegantly decorated, plenty of space, the outdoor... More

From the moment we went through the discreet entrance this place looked and felt different. Chris Blackwell and his team have hit the spot and the new developments enhance the ambiance and don't detract from the original Goldeneye which we could not get a reservation for when we tried a few years ago. The view from Reception down across the... More

My wife and I stayed at Goldeneye for 6 days in May to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We researched many places, but decided on Goldeneye because the whole history of the property and Chris Blackwell's philosophy towards a resort. We couldn't have picked a better place. We stayed at Lagoon Suite 9 and the setting is perfect. The lagoon suites... More

Goldeneye was a truly incredible vacation for us! We were greeted at the front desk with two delicious frozen Goldeneye drinks upon our arrival...which was a great start after traveling all day. Now my husband is not much of a "resort guy", but he can not wait to return to Goldeneye. It's a very relaxed, private resort with very comfortable... More

My husband & I stayed in villa #9 for 5 days/4 nights for a friend's wedding...and we could've happily stayed an entire month. We were very sad to leave. The property is amazing. The staff is beyond friendly & helpful. The food at Bizot & Gazebo is great. There is literally no need to leave the property. Beach, pool, lagoon,... More

We stayed in a lagoon cottage and loved it. Waking up in the morning and jumping in for a swim was a big highlight. I was a really big fan of the fact that there are only a certain number of people here at a given time. The garbage places lile sandals where there are close to 1,000 people all... More

GoldenEye is truly incredible in every way. We are well traveled and these were our favorite accommodations hands down. We stayed in both the a lagoon cottage and beach front and discussed over and over which we preferred because they were different but each so perfect. The lagoon cottages are super tranquil... swimming and kayaking right off your porch is... More

lagoon cottages are perfect for privacy. Beach cottages perfect for families. Picturesque views througout the property. Service is very good. Not typical Jamaican resort. Will likely see a celebrity chilling beside you by the infinity pool.

Island Outpost never lets us down. We just spent 4 nights in Lagoon Suite 10 and had an amazing experience. While this place was a stretch for our budget, it has been on my bucket list for many years. Traveling in the off season on a great special offer made it possible for us. As previously mentioned, the beauty of... More
