Picolo recommends · Hotel in Falmouth, Jamaica
Excellence Oyster Bay
An adults-only resort on a peninsula near Falmouth, with sand on more than one side and the reef within reach by boat.
Excellence Oyster Bay fills a peninsula on the north coast close to Falmouth, so the sea wraps around much of the resort. There are beaches on several sides, pools throughout, a range of restaurants and a big spa.
Only adults stay, and everything is included. It runs like a well-oiled machine, which is exactly what you want if the plan is to lie by the water and let someone else think about dinner.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Excellence Oyster Bay
We chose Excellence Oyster Bay for couples and friends who want all inclusive done well, with no children and plenty of choice. Few hotels on the island have more guest reviews, and the scores stay high.
It is a large resort, so it can feel busy at peak times and lacks the intimacy of smaller places. You will also see little of local life unless you leave the peninsula on a trip.
