CASTLES ON THE SEA PRIVACY IN PARADISE Ocho Rios, Jamaica
YOU MAY rent other properties for up to six times or more the cost, but its not likely you will surpass the unique lush beauty, fabulous amenities, quality service and sunset memories which Castles on the Sea can truly provide. As private resort owners, we have been extremely successful, due in part due to (1) knowing what most of our guests like and what their desires are, in terms of an actual "tropical paradise" experience, and allowing those wishes to become a reality. (2) Truly offering far more unique amenities, in our world class accommodations at far less cost, this gift we have been blessed with for 35 years+ while assisting MANY hundreds of others in obtaining their dream vacations. In the past, our resorts have gained much fame and recognition, such as: FROMMER'S JAMAICA

AMENITIES INCLUDE: swimming and wonderful snorkeling, fishing, boating, all in crystal clear and calm Caribbean multi colored seas, just steps away on Castles breathtaking 30 foot cliff side setting. With two seafront balconies, and a very romantic and secluded outdoor seafront terrace, with a sparkling seafront shower, which can only be seen by oneself or each other as the case may be. In a lush garden setting which overlooks both the Caribbean and many splashing fishponds and fountains, is a state of art hydro-jet 7 person heated Jacuzzi like spa, with double waterfalls, CD stereo with pop up speaker system, and a satellite stereo. HISTORY: This estate was originally owned by Mr. Abe Issa, who knows a good thing when he sees it. Mr. Issa is also known locally as (Mr. Jamaica) for the numerous projects he and his family have contributed to Jamaica for many years, especially in the field of tourism, and they are also the owners of all the world famous Super Club hotels, which originally gave birth to both Caribbean and Jamaica tourism, all in our beautiful parish of St. Mary, with the Tower Isle hotel being Jamaica's first luxury hotel, followed by the famous Playboy club and hotel, and a short time later Mr. Issa's San Souci hotel *movie location for James Bond's "Live and let die" opened.
Ian Flemming brought James Bond to life here in his modest villa Golden Eye, Sir Noel Cowards villa Firefly is now a museum, Chris Blackwell is a major developer in St. Mary, and is currently spending U.S $100 million dollars on wonderful new tourist related developments for St. Mary, slated for completion in 2008.
A short list of famous guests to St. Mary include, the Queen mother, Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, Errol Flynn, Sean Connery, and last month *April 2006, former President and Mrs. Bill Clinton who while on vacation in St, Mary stated that he "is positive on Jamaica".
Obvious reasons why tourist development in the Caribbean FIRST took place in Saint Mary is what visitors still discover today, its very peaceful and the immense tranquil beauty is undeniable, with wonderful beaches, mountains, rivers & waterfalls, and it is a centrally located tropical Eden.
