Seacastles Vacation Penthouse

While not a five star place by any means Seacastles met all the things we needed for a Jamaican getaway. This location is outside the city of Montego Bay located in Rose Hall. It used to be one of the grand resorts on the island but was let go in 2004. Since then the unit have been sold off as condos. This one that we had was very clean and very comfortable. The facility as a whole is run down but the combined effort of the condo owners is bringing life back into the facility. Grounds are well kept but the tennis court is grown over with vegetation and not useable.The pool was very clean and the beach was a great place to get away. The onsite care taker Paulette was fantastic in keeping the place clean during our stay. She will even do laundry if needed. Wednesday and Friday nights they cook local dishes like jerk chicken and Ackee and saltfish by the pool and it is very cheap. There is a bar at the pool that is open nightly and it provides a great local experience. Carol the owner put us in touch with a local man named Johnross that showed us this in and outs of the island he was very informative and we were glad to have him along. You are a little isolated here so if you want to go anywhere either rent a car (let side of the road driving remember) or take taxi or bus.It was a fantastic time for my family and I, and we would absolutely stay here again!
