Jamaica

Harper's Bazaar "luxe for less" pick in the Caribbean for the "best food." This is a rare Jamaica experience. Marblue is one of those places that local people like to keep to thmeselves: it's the favourite destination of Kingstonians wanting to chill out with good company and excellent food in the sleepy Treaasure Beach." The hotel emcompasses eight stylish suites (one with a private plunge pool), two small pools, a spa with "excellent" massages.  "Each night is a little house party" under the direction of designer, co-owner, award-winning chef Axel. [Harper's Bazaar, The top 10 Caribbean Luxe-for-less Boltholes, March 2009]   Good value, suites rates from $179.
