Lovely well maintained villa with the most amazing support team. Suzi, Nicki, Jamie and Bama looked after us like family. The villas lovely with fantastic sea views but it was the people here that made our stay... One love to the extraordinary Buccaneer Crew.
The Bad: The Rooms are sparse. The place is reasonably priced, yet you get what you pay for. I would put it at a Red Roof Inn or Motel 6 here in the US. The beach is public and you will have allot of people trying to sell you items. Jamaicans can be pretty agressive with their sales pitch. You will be asked to buy t-shirts, carvings, and yes... even drugs (Gasp). You need to learn one term "Me No Want Nuttin". I found that every car became a Taxi and I was asked quite often if I needed one. Trips to Negril have gotte expensive. I have heard of all day affairs costing $200. Basically not for families or romantic getaway (I guess depends on your definition of romantic).
I remember walking down the steps to the beach with my son. We looked down the shoreline for miles. There was no one in site. Sometimes the problem with paradise is you have to share it. Not here. This was my favorite vacation ever.
If your goal is to travel the all too common touristy / resort path, then this place is probably not for you.
However
* If your desire is to relax in the most beautiful of surroundings and to make friends with the welcoming people of Treasure Beach;
* if you want to eat delicious home cooked traditional Jamaican cuisine;
* if you have an appreciation for unique artistic architectural design;
* if you can't get enough of spectacular sunsets;
* if experiencing the local culture is part of what you enjoy about travelling;
* if the idea of having lunch at a bar which sits on stilts on a sand bar (Pelican Bar) sounds like a great way to spend the afternoon;
* if you love to listen to the constant sound of the waves on the beach and feel the sweet sea breeze on your face;
Then by all means contact Mary and discover for yourself why I absolutely love this place ... you won't regret it
Absolutely fabulous! Best place I've every been and I've been to a lot of places. I really enjoyed the atmosphere very relaxing and Suzy and the staff were superb. I will definitely come back. I highly recommend the Buccaneer!
What an awesome place, having that private beach is priceless and a swimming pool! The staff is amazing, I felt so cared for by their careful attention. I love the chance to get out on the small crafts into the ocean to take in local activities and the reefs/sandbars in the area.
The villa itself is a work of art, so much lovely detail in the design. But most of all I was able to completely renew my spirit during my stay. I can't wait to go back, it's been too long :)
Wow, what a fabulous experience! The staff is so sweet, I just want to take them home with me. The food is the best I have had there in Treasure Beach; I did not want to go out to eat!
The drivers were very good, they came whenever I needed them.
All of the places I went were great fun and I felt that the food, the service and the BEAUTIFUL villa was the best experience so far since I have been going to Treasure Beach!
I WILL return.
