Welcome to one of the most unique vacation opportunities in the world. Only at Reef Watch do you get a car, driver and guide for the duration of your stay.

Hubert, our caretaker, will treat you like a king and a friend at the same time. He will enable you to experience Jamaica like a native and learn first hand what beautiful, kind people there are in Jamaica. The cuisine, sights, sounds, and people of our sleepy fishing village, Scarlet Hall, are part of the Reef Watch experience. Sit back and listen to the locals speaking their native tongue, Patois, while music from the village drifts through the air. The barrier reef is just offshore and will provide you with fish, conch and lobster to complete your authentic Jamaican meals.

Our secluded grounds include fruit bearing trees and plenty of shade, patio space, and a spacious observation deck for star gazing and sunbathing. The property is for your enjoyment and the peace and serenity are included for less than $1200 per week. You will return home a changed person with thoughts of a return trip.

    • We visited Reef Watch and Jamaica for the first time in April of 2009. I had heard about the poverty in Jamaica but seeing and observing the people I saw nothing but friendliness, warmth and humor. They are wonderful people. Hubert took us just about anywhere we needed to go (stores, restaurants, sight seeing, etc.). With Hubert knowing so many of the local people we were able to enjoy poolside lunches at places the ordinary traveler would not see. If we didn’t want to eat out in the evening Hubert cooked his wonderful Jerk Chicken. Our day trip to the Good Hope Plantation was one of the most memorable places I have visited. To see and experience this beautiful plantation and home that has been restored by the Jamaican people was an amazing experience. We also did the raft ride on the Martha Brae River, the Luminous Lagoon one evening and even had a fresh caught lunch of fish and lobster (caught by Hubert) cooked right on the beach. We have nothing but praise and admiration for Hubert and all his friends. Go to Reef Watch, meet the people and let Hubert show you the real Jamaica.

      Well, where do I start? I was a little hesitant to go outside of a resort into Reef Watch. But with a lot of questions answered and much determination of visiting the real Jamaica, we planned our first trip to Jamaica into Reef Watch. Wow, are we glad we did! Thank you so much for giving us the courage to step outside of the normal! Thank you Reef Watch, Scarlet hall and most of all Hubert for the best vacation we could have ever had! We are here in Florida missing Jamaica... Soon be back! Kisses to Jamaica; JennyLea, Brandy & Debra

    • Reef Watch Villa was perfect. A very comfortable home that by the end felt like our own. So nice to have the privacy to relax and enjoy when the day was done. It really hit home when we were at the airport waiting to board and the various vacationers were comparing resorts and stories about the lineups and food etc. They had to endure the touist busses and destinations. When they asked us what resort we were at and we told them about Reef Watch and our experience they were awed. Hubert was the best! Having someone to show you the real Jamaica with as much or as little touristy type activities as you choose was excellent. I know we were a bit hesitant about having someone else involved in our vacation before we left but Hubert is truly a wonderful part of this type of vacation. He is so warm and accomodating and truly a genuine person, he just flows right in with whatever you want to do He makes it happen..We are already planning our return to Reef Watch Villa.

    • We stayed here for a week in October and it was a great, unforgettable experience unlike anything you would get from staying at a resort. Hubert is a great guide, cook, fisherman and new friend, and helped make our vacation even better. If you want to experience Jamaica like a native then this is the way to do it! We met a lot of wonderful people and experienced way more than a normal tourist would get to. We would love to go back in the future and would definitely stay here again.

    • This comment is long overdue, I went to Reef Watch while on military leave back in April of 2008. And I could not have picked a better place to relax, enjoy and learn about Jamaica first hand. I was amazed by the people, landscape, music and of course Hubert. As mentioned in every comment, he is very much the expert and best part of it. Thank you Reef Watch, from beginning to end always a friendly, warm and educational experience that I plan on doing again. Sorry for the late comments. I've passed on your information to friends and family and pictures etc. Thanks again!

    • The most wonderful people, the freshest and tastiest food, and comfortable accommodations combined to make my stay at Reef Watch an unforgettable experience. No matter how much fun I had the night before, I always woke up feeling refreshed, rested and eager for more – whether it be snorkeling, exploring the country, walking around and talking to the people of Scarlet Hall or just lounging at the house. I truly look forward to returning to Reef Watch -- to see people whom I consider to now be friends, to recharge my batteries and to just be able to relish and enjoy the best, most pure aspects of life.

      On the way home our plane got stuck waiting for customs in Charlotte North Carolina. The airlines put us all up at a hotel because everyone missed their connecting flights. We talked to many of the people who had been in Jamaica. Every one of them had done an all inclusive deal where they were bused into a compound like place that had it's own beach and they never left. Poor people missed Jamaica.

    • My first time in Jamaica turned out to be one of the most incredible experiences in my life. Sure, I was prepared to get away from the daily grind and go to a warm, friendly, unique, non-touristy place, as everyone describes on the website. But what I actually experienced was so much more than that. There were so many things to do, to explore, to take in. But some of the best times we had were at the guesthouse just hanging out. The house is pleasant, comfortable and had everything we needed. The roof deck is a little haven up there, anytime of day....Jamaican coffee in the morning, sunbathing in the afternoon, watching the sunset over the water, star gazing at night. Hubert was a terrific host. He cooked for us on the beach, and twice we had dinner at the house (grilled on the patio and off a fire in the yard.) It's invaluable to find that place where you know you can go (and keep going back!) to clear your head. Can't wait to go back to ReefWatch!

    • This was our first trip to Jamaica. Our Reef Watch vacation allowed us to experience the real Jamaica for less than an all-inclusive and proved to be far more interesting. The website states you get a "driver and guide". Hubert is that and much, much more. Hubert is a warm, caring individual with a great sense of humor and is a wonderful cook. While staying in Scarlet Hall, he introduced us to his family and friends. Every person we met was friendly, gracious and interesting...which allowed us to experience their lifestyles and customs. Loved the dominos and dancing! We spent tourist time at the Green Grotto Cave, Luminous Lagoon, Dunn's River Falls and horseback riding in the sea. But what we enjoyed the most were picnics on the beach with Scotchies jerk chicken or fresh caught seafood prepared by Hubert. We miss Hubert's hearty laugh, easy way and joyful smile and are planning a return trip to Reef Watch next year. You could visit Jamaica and never leave your hotel. But to visit the true Jamaica, travel to the mountains and visit Hubert's friend Rex, eat jerk pork or try a patty or festival, pass children in their school uniforms on the road, sit on the porch and watch hummingbirds or spend the day on an isolated beach. Then you can say you've visited Jamaica. Soon be back!

    • We have just returned from 3 wonderful weeks at Reefwatch. Hubert tells us that we hold the record for the longest stay and it was certainly a relaxing and yet action packed experience. This is a totally flexible holiday with all the time in the world to do nothing and just chill or to do it all. Hubert is a delightful character and we have nothing but praise for the way he looked after us and showed us the real Jamaica. We met lots of Jamaican people and all were warm, friendly and full of humour. Notable was Cheeco who was a lovely man. We left a freezing England - enjoyed 3 weeks of warmth and sunshine - and returned to wind, rain and snow. We wish we were still in Jamaica and hopefully will return one day to try and beat our record 3 weeks at Reefwatch. We recommend the experience to everyone of every age. It was brilliant and simply the best. Pat, Chris and Kieran (age 12) Brown, Bolton, UK.
