Well off the beaten path, Lost Beach Resort is a small, private resort on 3 acres of Jamaica's beautiful south coast. We offer a Jamaican beach hotel, just outside of Negril. Come Get Lost! See the REAL Jamaica. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/Jamaica/lostbeachjamaica/hotel/696/17/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:17:06 EST For ten years we have been designing and building the kind of family and group friendly resort that we dreamed of visiting for years. We love Jamaica, and want to share our piece of paradise with a limited number of the travel-wise, who love the climate and culture but can do without the throng of tourists crowding beaches and bars. On the undeveloped southwest coast, Lost Beach Resort is the only game in town. Like the Negril of yore, we are located in a small, peaceful fishing village, on a beach where turtles nest and the doctor bird flourishes. Only minutes from the shows and shopping of Negril, we are light-years from its hustle and bustle. We have a beautiful tropical restaurant and bar, a large pool and jacuzzi, and fourteen brand new one, two, and three bedroom beachfront apartments along with three new beach cabins to offer those who have figured out that all-inclusive might as well be a Holidome in Hoboken. You want comfort and class and good food. Your kids want entertainment too. Nightlife is great, but after a night on the town you want to stargaze, read a book, or just enjoy some peace and quiet. Lost Beach Resort is 15 minutes from Negril in reality, but light years from its frenetic pace. We're located on the beach of a fishing villiage where Jamaicans come every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to buy fish and lobster from the boats of our local fisherman. That about sums up life at Lost Beach. We run shuttles to Negril for the energetic, and maintain a peaceful calm for their return. We will baby sit your kids so that you can enjoy a worry-free evening out or a romantic night in. Share a drink on our roof-top patio while watching the moonrise over the mountains and sea. Swim in our pool while gazing out over a natural beach where turtles nest and land crabs rule. You can fish with the Jamaicans or charter a deep sea fishing boat, snorkel or scuba dive, read or sleep in a hammock, go horseback riding on the beach, kayak on the class 3 Cabarita River, or catch a shuttle to Negril's new golf course. You can buy your lunch from the fishermen and cook it in your own apartment kitchen, or enjoy our beachfront restaurant menu of Jamaican, American and Continental dishes. All of the apartments have porches perfect for watching the sun rise over the mountains and airconditioning for more private lounging. Your kids might be dragged from our pool long enough to enjoy the games and videos at the Kid's Klubhouse while you enjoy the jacuzzi or shoot some pool. Bring a book, but if you forget or finish, we have a large selection of books to share in our library. Walk around the Community and see the Real Jamaica that most tourists miss. AMENITIES: Romantic Rustic Beach Cabins: The beach cabin is a wooden cabin with a small bath area (toilet and boat-style shower), a cubbyhole kitchen with sink, small fridge, 2 burner stove top, toaster and coffee maker, a small sitting area (loveseat and table with 2 chairs) and a porch on the ground floor 50 feet from the ocean. A ladder takes you to the loft which has a queen size bed, a fan and a small balcony sitting area. It is rustic, but quite charming too, with a thatched roof and lots of privacy - it is about 150 ft. down the beach from our main facilities. Luxury 2 and 3 Bedroom Suites: Each building has four or five apartments, 2 two bedroom units on the ground floor and two 3 bedroom units on the upper floor, with all five one bedroom apartments in a separate building.
