PRIVACY IN PARADISE
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
YOU MAY rent other properties for up to six times or more the cost, but
its not likely you will surpass the unique lush beauty, fabulous
amenities, quality service and sunset memories which Castles on the Sea
can truly provide. As private resort owners, we have been extremely
successful, due in part due to (1) knowing what most of our guests like
and what their desires are, in terms of an actual "tropical
paradise" experience, and allowing those wishes to become a reality.
(2) Truly offering far more unique amenities, in our world class
accommodations at far less cost, this gift we have been blessed with for
35 years+ while assisting MANY hundreds of others in obtaining their dream
vacations. In the past, our resorts have gained much fame and
recognition, such as:

HISTORY: This estate was originally owned by Mr. Abe Issa, who knows a
good thing when he sees it. Mr. Issa is also known locally as (Mr.
Jamaica) for the numerous projects he and his family have contributed to
Jamaica for many years, especially in the field of tourism, and they are
also the owners of all the world famous Super Club hotels, which
originally gave birth to both Caribbean and Jamaica tourism, all in our
beautiful parish of St. Mary, with the Tower Isle hotel being Jamaica's
first luxury hotel, followed by the famous Playboy club and hotel, and a
short time later Mr. Issa's San Souci hotel *movie location for James
Bond's "Live and let die" opened.
Ian Flemming brought James Bond to life here in his modest villa Golden
Eye, Sir Noel Cowards villa Firefly is now a museum, Chris Blackwell is a
major developer in St. Mary, and is currently spending U.S $100 million
dollars on wonderful new tourist related developments for St. Mary, slated
for completion in 2008.
A short list of famous guests to St. Mary include, the Queen mother,
Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, Errol Flynn, Sean Connery, and last month
*April 2006, former President and Mrs. Bill Clinton who while on vacation
in St, Mary stated that he "is positive on Jamaica".
Obvious reasons why tourist development in the Caribbean FIRST took place
in Saint Mary is what visitors still discover today, its very peaceful and
the immense tranquil beauty is undeniable, with wonderful beaches,
mountains, rivers & waterfalls, and it is a centrally located
tropical Eden.

REFUNDABLE SECURITY DEPOSIT:
A damage deposit in the amount of $500.00 may be required, same is fully

CRIME; The very large parishes of both Saint Mary where Castles on the sea
is located, and the parish of Portland, home to the Chateau en Exotica.
are known as extremely friendly & peaceful havens, and in fact are
actually two of the very safest areas in all of Jamaica, with far less
serious crime than most areas of the Caribbean. Crime as a rule in
Jamaica has been primarily NOT AGAINST TOURISTS, and is mostly drug
related to locals, occurring mostly in the inner cities of Kingston, and
St. Catherine, which are many miles away (THANK GOD) from our corners of
paradise. We do suggest that all guests no matter where in the world
you are, take the same common sense steps, as you most likely would back
in your respective homes, don't invite strangers into premises, lock car,
don't pick up hitch hikers, or leave valuables in plain site in your car.
Lock Castle doors prior to retiring at night.
Take these precautions, and travel safely where ever you go in life.
---------------------------------------------
LIABILITY: There are no life guards at Castles on the Sea. All
swimming, water sports and activities are solely at your own risk, we are

estate, with a live on premises Butler/houseman, for which we have never
had a security problem, guests do have an option for a night time security
guard if so desired.
Travel insurance is highly suggested
