"A 30-year mainstay on the island and owned by the local Henzell family, Jakes is a collection of colorful one-of-a-kind villas and bungalows all connected by mosaic trails. The breezy bohemian property sits along the rocky coastline of Calabash Bay in Treasure Beach—a sleepy, fishing village on Jamaica’s south coast. If you haven’t heard of the hotel, you’ve probably heard of the restaurant: The beloved open-air Jakes Restaurant is a regular on all of the island's where-to-eat lists. The menu changes daily, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced produce and seafood (including conch and lobster when in season), as well as sustainable and eco-friendly standards. The funkier, beach-side Jack Sprats, has a great local vibe on its long outdoor deck, serving up unique pizza toppings such as jerk chicken and pineapple." - Ruth C. White
