A treat of a place
We were going to laughing waters for a wedding and had the luck to book chillin 8, a 5 minute drive away. We knew there was a house keeper/ cook but wow it’s far more than that. Teresa is such a great addition to the apartment and looked after us wonderfully and her Jamaican food was delicious. The apartment was very comfortable with a fab pool and a great beach with excellent snorkelling when the waves are calm. If this is the area you want to stay in I’d highly recommend chillin 8 Within touching distance of many of the local tourist sites if you have a car. Thanks chillin 8.

Great, relaxed stay
We had a great time at Old Fort Bay - this is a great value to stay walking distance to the beach. We will try to stay longer next time to make the most of the beach.

Rae grew up in Jamaica and we regularly return to visit family and friends on the island. Last year we decided we wanted to have a "home" from home as a base to make our visits comfortable. It is great to be so near such a wonderful beach and the children are delighted that we are near so many attractions in this area.

Staying at no.8 includes the services of a housekeeper who will cook amazing local recipes as well as keep everything tidy; freeing you up to enjoy the comforts of a 4 star experience whilst staying within a Caribbean cottage environment.
