Tropical Spice Villas - Runaway Bay, Jamaica

Welcome to Tropical Spice Villas in Runaway Bay, Jamaica. This is where we stayed last week on our vacation to Jamaica. This is one of the best values on the beach! 


The property has 2 villas, each with three bedrooms. Each villa has 2 master suites upstairs and one smaller bedroom downstairs.


We arrived to find the villas clean and comfortable.


If the villa itself was lacking in any regard, it was lost on us because once we set foot down the garden path, we knew we'd found paradise. The little yellow building to the right, is the main kitchen where the chef holds court and prepares all of the meals.


The beach is beautiful....  (to the left of the villas, just past a small private beach, is Breezes Resort. This shot is from the beach, looking left.)


even at night... amazing...


You might be visited by an ice cream vendor from time to time... never a complaint from our group:


To the right of the villas, is another villa, Sweet Spot, home to a very lovely lawn:


If you continue to walk down the beach, past Sweet Spot, you will pass a few local vendor beach shacks other lovely little beach villas:

 

And the sea will entice you all the way...


Here are the good people who took care of us:

Mr. Obrian, the bartender.

Our trusty security guard showed up every night at sunset.

Miss Althea runs a tight ship.

Miss Juliet kept our bedrooms clean and free of sandy footprints.

 And last, but certainly not least, the CHEF. We devoured his culinary talent with gusto! To see the CHEF in action, and see a sample of what we dined on - click here!

If the beach proved too tiring, there was plenty of room to relax in the garden filled with the most amazing tropical flora and well kept by Mr. Jack.


Then there was the pool. It is HUGE - plenty of room for all.



And a popular spot for the little ones due to the adjacent baby pool.


We miss the beach, the staff, the delicious meals and cool drinks at sunset. For more photos of the gorgeous beach - click here.
