Site Information:
Bougain-Villa
The villa is about 1,600 square feet in size, has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, living/dining area, enclosed patio area and a good sized kitchen. It has hot and cold water, fridge, gas stove and oven and electric washing machine.
|
More Info:
Bougain-Villa is situated in a secluded area right near the centre of the historic town of Falmouth. Falmouth is on the famous North Coast of Jamaica about 32 Kilometers (20 miles) east of Montego Bay Airport and about 72 Kilometers (45 miles) west of Ocho Rios. The villa is about half an hour's drive from Montego Bay Airport.
The landscaping can best be described as primitive and rustic with several trees, bushes and plants typical of the subtropical environment of Jamaica. The beach is well suited for swimming, with a long gentle slope suitable also for children. If you venture too far out, you will encounter sea grass/weed - just ease up and float or swim.
There is a "12 foot" aluminum boat with a 9 HP outboard motor. This boat and motor is available for use only by experienced boaters or you may contact Willy the Fisherman, who can take you around in the boat for a price that Willy will quote you. There is also windsurfing nearby at Bounty Bay, where Brian and his staff will be happy to rent you the newest in windsurfing equipment.
We also have a cottage for rent. It is 400 sq. feet and has one small bedroom, a small sitting area and a kitchenette with a new gas stove and fridge. Perfect for 1 person or a couple. It is located on the same property as the villa so it shares all the outside amenities of the villa.
Nearby Attractions:
Starfish Hotel
This hotel is 5 to 8 minutes drive further east on the main highway. Please be aware that it is an all inclusive hotel, and the security guard at the gate will only let you in if you arrange entry with the front desk office for the purpose of shopping or otherwise use the hotel facilities.
Montego Bay
If you drive to Montego Bay you will find hotels such as Rose Hall, Ritz Carlton and Half Moon before you get to Montego Bay. Once you are in Montego Bay, just explore the city and you will find something. You may wish to go swimming at Doctor's Cave Beach, a beach of long time fame.
Ocho Rios
You can take a drive to Ocho Rios where you will find a large Arts & Craft Market with an abundance of local crafts. Bargain with the vendors to get some good deals. While in Ocho Rios, have lunch or dinner at the Ruin's Restaurant which has one of the most impressive settings anywhere.
Ocho Rios and Dunn's River Falls
Take a drive one day to Ocho Rios. A few miles before Ocho Rios you will see the famous Dunn's River Falls. Stop there and climb the falls. There are large Arts & Craft markets in Dunn's River and in Ocho Rios with lots of local crafts to be found. Bargain with the vendors to get some good deals. Visit The Ruin's Restaurant in Ocho Rios with one of the most impressive settings anywhere. Try to avoid Ocho Rios and Dunn's River Falls on days when one or more cruise ships are in town. It can get rather crowded.
Fern Gully
Just outside Ocho Rios is Fern Gully, which is an old river bed converted to a main road between Ocho Rios and Kingston. Another must see.
Silver Sands Beach
Silver Sands Beach is one of the nicest beaches on the North Coast just 15 minutes drive east of Falmouth before Duncans. At the hill just before entering Duncans, turn left at the sign saying "Silver Sands" and follow the road downhill for a couple of miles. At the end where the road splits left and right, follow the road to the right. At the guard house a security officer will stop you. Tell him/her that you are going to the beach. Then follow the road to the office/beach house and restaurant and park your car under the large almond tree right near the beach. There are change rooms there, and you can buy lunch at the restaurant and buy drinks at the bar. The sea water at Silver Sands is beautifully crystal clear. They may charge you an entry fee to use the beach facilities.
Crocodile Farm
Visit the crocodile farm a few minutes west of Falmouth. They have a large number of crocodiles, some alligators and reptiles in natural setting. One of the James Bond movies had segments filmed at that location.
River Rafting
Try river rafting on the Martha Brae River. The attraction is located only a few miles inland from Falmouth. Follow Market street through Falmouth and continue on towards the small village of Martha Brae a few miles further. There you should see signs directing you to the starting point of the rafting trip, which will usually Last an hour.
Tours
Phone and enquire at the tour desk at Starfish Hotel about the many half and all day tours to the many attractions in Jamaica.

Caribbean Travel Tip
Suitcase Tip
Pack a dryer sheet in your suitcase for long flights - this helps to eliminate that musty "airplane odor" and you'll have a "just washed" air to your clothes when you unpack.
