To describe The Blue House Boutique B & B as simply 'excellent' would be doing my experience at this dream of a hotel, a disservice. If you're looking for creative space or an intimate getaway, somewhere you can feel 'at home' and be treated like 'one of the family', I can tell you now, that you're going to love The Blue House. Tucked away on top of a hill on a quiet private road, it really is as is described online. It's quaint, clean and has a flavour of what I'd call 'Bohemian Chic'. My beloved booked the Honeymoon Suite, so it was probably the largest of the six bedrooms, but the unoccupied rooms we caught glimpses of had their own 'personalities' and were equally lovely in their individuality. The Blue House is not near a beach, so you won't step out of your room and onto shimmering white sands, but Pleasure Beach is about 15 minutes walk down the road. It's small and it's clean and the water is wonderfully warm. There's also a small cafe where you get a bite to eat. Back to the hotel. Brother and sister, Darryl and Elise Yap are the owners of The Blue House and are very convivial hosts. Darryl is also the resident chef, or 'feeder', as he calls himself. He will ask you what you like and try his best to cater to your tastes. Our original plan was to have only breakfasts, (which were delicious, by the way) and eat out in the evenings. We did go to a couple of restaurants during our two-week stay, but found ourselves dining at the Blue House almost every night, because Darryl's food is first rate! 😋 The hotel staff are also very polite and helpful, which is always a good thing. Housekeeping is done daily and they will do their best to accommodate you. You can arrange for the lovely Patrick, the hotel's resident driver, to transfer you to and from the airport, and you can also hire him to take you shopping, as well as on private tours, if you so wish. There are also plenty of licenced taxis and buses nearby. We ended up hiring a car and, as we're from the UK and Jamaicans also drive on the left hand side of the road, it was a plus for us. However, the UK's Highway Code rulebook (mostly) goes out of the window there. It's not as crazy as some European countries, but you still have to be vigilant. We could have done with one more week, as it was such a great experience, but we will be back, have no doubt. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at The Blue House. You won't regret it!
