Amanoka on the Beach

From the spacious verandah and pool, a barefoot stroll leads down a soft lawn to the 70' white sand beach, clear turquoise water, and waterfront gazebo with suspended canvas swings. Quiet interiors are complementary textures of teak, bamboo, and stone from Jamaica, China, and Indonesia. Meandering lily ponds, fountains and gardens, and more orchids grace the exterior. The Amanoka compound consists of the Main Villa and The Annex...linked by a landscaped walkway through an interior courtyard. Each day begins with fresh-squeezed orange juice and fresh-ground Blue Mountain coffee, fruit, bagels, and muffins on the verandah buffet...followed by a full breakfast when all guests are ready. Extraordinary lunches and memorable candlelight dinners are served on the al fresco verandah or waterfront deck. Cocktail hour canapes and hors d'oeuvres are offered each evening around the verandah bar. Adjacent to the spa is the air-conditioned gym with Precor Elliptical, treadmill, free weights, fitness DVDs, balls, mats, and music. The state-of-the-art kitchen has a 6-burner gas stove, Jenn-Air double oven, microwave, dishwasher, bottled water server, and gas grill. Because the cuisine at Amanoka is extraordinary, the typical grocery budget here is $60-$70 per adult per day and $25 per child per day. Driving time from the Montego Bay airport to Amanoka is approximately 60 minutes...well worth the drive along a gorgeous seascape. The eastern shore of Discovery Bay with its lovely villas and cottages is colloquially known as "The Riviera"...one of Jamaica's treasures.
