Golden Eye hotel and resort
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
The 21-room Golden Eye is hands down Jamaica's hippest and most luxurious resorts. It's also one of the island's most historic, as the former home of Ian Fleming, and the hideaway at which the author scribed all 14 of his James Bond novels. Today, the property, which reopened in 2010 after an extensive $50 million renovation, includes stunning cottages and villas overlooking a private beach and lagoon, as well as two happening restaurants, two pools, a tree house spa, and an extensive roster of on-site activities. The rates might cause some to flinch, but those who can afford it will find little cause for complaint.

Geejam hotel
Port Antonio, Jamaica
These five modern villas on a remote mountaintop are cut off from prying eyes by thick stone walls or dense flora. Designed for utmost privacy, there's no communal pool, lobby, or front desk. Service is by request only, and each room comes with a cell phone so guests can call anyone from room service to the free staff driver to the hotel's owner. The rooms are self-contained sanctuaries with the 24-hour room service, in-room massages, free Wi-Fi, and the pre-programmed Apple TVs set with cult movies or eclectic reggae. Frenchman's Cove, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, is 10 minutes away.
The Caves
Negril, Jamaica
The Caves is as honeymoon-perfect as it gets: just 11 spacious, private cottages; no guests under 17; all-inclusive food made to order; a drop-dead gorgeous cliffside setting; and a friendly, ultra-attentive staff, all set to a seductive reggae soundtrack. Perks include a private Jacuzzi for sunset viewing, and romantic candlelight dinners for two inside a cave.
Sandals Royal Plantation
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
You quickly get used to hearing "Sure, whatever you want" from staff members at Royal Plantation, and by the third day, the thought of getting your own drink, lifting your own bag, or adhering to any of the resort's loosely enforced rules feels absurd. Offering such things as specialized dinner entrees, 24-hour room service, beachside drink service, and welcome "mangosas" (mango and champagne), the staff at the Royal Plantation is polite, professional, and friendly (without being flirty).
Negril Tree House Resort
Negril, Jamaica
Negril Tree House Cottages has a choice spot on Negril's Seven Mile Beach, widely held as the best beach in Jamaica. The water is sparkling turquoise from afar, crystal clear up close, warm, and never crowded. There are always plenty of chairs, and the jerk pit and beach bar are never more than a few steps away.
Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort And Spa
Montego Bay, Jamaica
The resort's 86,000 infinity pool is striking -- and enormous. It looks out onto the ocean, and it's never closed, so at night you can swim under the stars. Two Jacuzzis set into the pool are surrounded by white columns.
Round Hill Hotel & Villas
Montego Bay, Jamaica
A classic picture of Jamaican luxury, the historic Round Hill boasts sincere, intimate hospitality, private child care, beautifully designed suites and villas by Ralph Lauren, and breathtaking grounds (to which no photo can really do justice).

Jamaica Inn
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
A small, romantic resort that once drew
Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, the Jamaica Inn is about quiet luxury -- a single thatch-roofed bar, a small pool, and beautiful rooms with oversize terraces and soft, colonial decor. The intimate, estate-like setting sports a crescent-shaped beach with chairs spaced comfortably away from one another.
