As I was born in Jamaica, going to Jamaica for vacation, I am always seeking a much more local-minded holiday experience than just staying at a hotel resort. Staying at Braata @ Little Bay, Port Maria met all of my expectations. The accommodation feels homely with a lot of personal touches that make you feel comfortable and not make you feel that you are in a strange place or confined in a hotel room. The bedrooms are vary spacious, with each having a balcony overlooking the sea. The veranda provides a nice place to relax and dine with great views of the sea. The extensive roof patio is a great place to do stretching exercises, to dine, relax, have a cocktail and take in great views of the surrounding landscape and extensive sea views. Although there were 4 of us staying in accommodation built for 8 people and we had a lot of space, having 4 more people would not have made any difference to our experience. Having a personal chef who made all of our meals was wonderful. He provided local food for us that was of very high quality, very tasty and well prepared. He was very flexible and took our individual requests for breakfast and dinner without hesitation and also was very accommodating to meet specific dietary needs. The fish dishes (escovitch, steamed, brown stew), curried and garlic butter lobster with bammy, festival and breadfruit were excellent. A personal butler providing round the clock service was outstanding. He met all of our requests, ensured our accommodation was alway clean and tidy and provided guidance when needed. The gardener was also very attentive and provided us fresh coconut water and jelly every day. The location of Braata was excellent for us with easy driving access to local places that we visited, i.e. Dunns River Falls, James Bond Beach, Chukka White River Valley (for zip lining, buggy tour, tubing), Kingston for Bob Marley museum and Devon House, the Blue Mountains to buy coffee at the farm, Port Antonio, Blue Lagoon and Boston Bay for jerk pork and jerk chicken and Winifred beach - a very nice non-resort style beach. There is a bamboo-lined trail close by for walking/hiking which extends through small villages and back to Braata. Braata provides great accommodation at a high quality for a local-styled vacation at a very good price.
Our trip at the villa was awesome the children enjoyed the pool more than anything. I am meticulous about every detail of my vacation and Neville was a wonderful host who offered seemless communication and quick responses.
