Welcome to Casa Maria Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you tired of the artificial atmosphere and tourist traps that are the larger hotels in Ocho Rios, Negril and Montego Bay? Get to know and experience the real<\/em>\u00a0Jamaica. At Casa Maria Hotel, we offer breathtaking natural vistas, simple comforts,\u00a0and the friendliest people on the entire island of Jamaica! As a\u00a0historic boutique inn,\u00a0we pride ourselves on preserving the simple charms of a Jamaica from\u00a0long ago. We are located only 16 miles from Ocho Rios and just a five-minute drive from the quaint villages of Oracabessa or Port Maria.<\/p>\n

\n

What We Offer<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Escape urban noise and\u00a0bustling cities to\u00a0find peace of mind in an oasis where the loudest sound you’ll hear is the surf crashing on the nearby reef. Spend the day\u00a0enjoying our luxury pool, or take to the calm ocean currents for excellent snorkeling near\u00a0the quaint town of Port Maria. At Casa Maria, there’s no need to “beat the rush” of beach crowds. Guests are encouraged to take a leisurely stroll through\u00a0our 25 acres of fertile ground where coconuts, bananas, plantains, ackee fruit, grapefruit, pineapples, and avocados grow in abundance as do many lovely varieties of flowers, trees, and lush tropical foliage.<\/p>\n

Each of our uniquely-appointed rooms offers a\u00a0private bath or shower and a variety of sleeping arrangements with twin, double, or king bed types. Twelve rooms offer\u00a0walk-out balconies with incredible ocean views and\u00a0refreshing Caribbean breezes. You may be surprised to know that Casa Maria is the only hotel in Jamaica facing East, taking\u00a0unique\u00a0advantage of\u00a0the island’s cool Trade Winds. With a nearly constant breeze directly off the water, temperatures are\u00a0several degrees cooler than nearby Ocho Rios.\u00a0Maximum guestroom occupancy is four\u00a0persons per room; however, there are\u00a0a limited number of rooms that can accommodate more than three guests upon request.<\/p>\n

We are also excited to share that our property is currently in the process of extensive renovation and upgrading work to better improve your stay.<\/p>\n

\n

Our History<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Casa Maria is proud to be part of the local history, culture, and scenery of Jamaica.\u00a0Nearby shores served as a popular hang-out for pirates while neighboring Firefly was home to\u00a0English playwright, composer, director, actor and singer, Sir Noel Coward. Here, Coward was often visited by famous dignitaries including Queen Elizabeth and his neighbors included 007 novelist\u00a0Ian Fleming and his wife Ann.\u00a0Many movie stars hailing from the golden age of Hollywood enjoyed the comfort of dining and drinking at Casa Maria\u2014even 007 himself. Sean Connery was often a guest in our lounge, as was Katherine Hepburn, Errol Flynn, Jane Russell, Gregory Peck, Vivian Leigh and many others.<\/p>\n

\n

Things to Do<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For shopping and entertainment, the tourist center of Ocho Rios is only 30 minutes away.\u00a0Attractions within easy reach of our hotel include the Dunn River Falls, Sun Valley Plantation, Boston Bay, and Rafting on the Rio Grande. Also nearby are Bamboo Beach and Fort Haldane.<\/p>\n
