This exclusive Jamaican hideaway, Strawberry Fields is the perfect baecation destination.
It’s No Secret
It’s no secret, we LOVE Jamaica. We consider ourselves veterans, having taken at least 5 trips or so over the years. So we were thrilled to find this exclusive Jamaican hideaway as a change of pace.
We typically stay at one of the many All-Inclusive Resorts in Jamaica. There are so many to choose from it’s hard to know the best all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica but we have our favorites.
It really depends who’s traveling. In 2018, we took our younger kids, Nik and Tyson to The Grand Bahia Principe Jamaica. It was a great family friendly resort. If you’re looking for the best all-inclusive family resorts in Jamaica click the link.
When it’s just Michael and me, we love the Secrets Resorts. Secrets Wild Orchid, Breathless and Dreams and most recently Zoetry.
Exploring A Different Side Of Jamaica
On this trip, we wanted to experience a different side of Jamaica. We wanted to venture out and explore Jamaica a little.
Fortunately, with the help of our wonderful driver, Anthony Wilson, we did see more of Jamaica while we drove to Negril when I visited Jackie’s On the Reef. You can read about my transcedental experience there in this blog post.
We wanted a little solace and isolation away from all of the hustle and bustle to wrap up our trip.
We found the perfect little secluded retreat, called Strawberry Fields Together. This exclusive Jamaican hideaway was just what we needed!
It’s one that truly indulged ALL of our senses. Let me start with the sense of sight.
A Visual Treat For Your Eyes
This exclusive Jamaican hideaway provides such a visual treat, I really don’t need to use many words here. Just look at these spectacular views!
The Melody Of This Exclusive Jamaican Hideaway
As if the views at this exclusive Jamaican hideaway weren’t enough, the sounds are magnificent, too! You’re surround and immerse in the sounds of nature.
From inside the cabin, at night, you’re lulled to sleep to the rhythmic ocean waves that make you feel like you’re sleeping safely inside a cocoon in middle of the Caribbean Sea.
And speaking of the cabin.
The Love Nest
Strawberry Fields is set up like a campground. There are detached cabins as well as a two-level house you can rent some or all of. We rented the upstairs unit with its own private entrance. It’s called The Love Nest.
Let’s Walk Through This Exclusive Jamaican Hideaway
Here’s a video of when you first walk into the kitchen. Check out the balcony off the kitchen!
Let’s Take A Look Inside
Take a look inside this extraordinary place and make sure to listen, too.
Don’t be worried by the mosquito netting. When I booked the place and saw that, I immediately assumed there was an issue with mosquitos and came prepared. It’s really there for the look. We didn’t use or any of my mosquito preparations at all.
How About This Outdoor Shower and Tub?
No words necessary. Just look and listen.
The sound of the water is what I was describing earlier. We got to hear that sound all day and night. It was heaven!
Listening to that sound and looking at the water while you actually take a bath in the outdoor soaking tub was nothing short of sensory delight!
Not to mention, you absolutely feel the seclusion. It’s like you’re the only people in the world at this exclusive Jamaican hideaway.
Let’s Check Out The Kitchen
Another wonderful aspect of Strawberry Fields, the exclusive Jamaican hideaway, is there’s a kitchen.
Since it had a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator, we stopped at the grocery store and stocked the fridge with a plan for me to cook some of our meals.
Saving Money By Cooking
Another benefit of Strawberry Field is there was a kitchen with working appliances.
The only drawback is there wasn’t a dishwashere. With that in mind and the fact I hate washing dishes, I became creative with some of my cooking. Check out my one pot oxtails and rice, lol!
A Wonderful Onsite Restaurant
Like I said, I hate washing dishes so thankfully, Strawberry Fields has a wonderful restaurant onsite, called The Strawberry Patch.
The Strawberry Patch Cafe
We got to know Ms. Jennifer Wright who is the fantastic, long time homestyle chef for The Strawberry Patch Cafe.
Ms. Jennifer has accolades for days adorning the walls of the restaurant. After eating her cooking, I completely understand why.
The restaurant was spacious, airy and had a scenic view of the water as you eat.
Cheers!
Ms. Jennifer wasn’t only a good cook, she was a great bartender! This is one of the special drinks she made for me. I don’t remember what it was but it had some strawberry goodness in it!
A Special Food Request At This Exclusive Jamaican Hideaway!
In addition to what was on the menu, Ms. Jennifer made my special request of ackee and saltfish for my last morning on the island. I love this dish and ate it every chance I got while I was there.
The Beach At This Exclusive Jamaican Hideaway
Finally, I’ll get to the part of Strawberry Fields that indulges all of your senses at once, the magnificent beach!
Strawberry Fields is also a private park you can pay an entrance fee and enjoy for the day. We arrived on Saturday, 12/26 which is also Boxing Day in Jamaica.
That made it a holiday weekend. One of the things families do on holidays, is spend time together at the beach. People after my own heart! We saw families out enjoying the beach on Saturday and Sunday.
But on Monday, I had the ENTIRE beach to myself! I suspect that’s what it’s like when it’s not a holiday weekend.
You Won’t Believe The Sunrise
It’s hard to pick one so I have to say one of my favorite things at this exclusive Jamaican hideaway is the magnificent sunrise.
Pictures can’t even do it justice!
Visiting Strawberry Fields
I booked our trip through VRBO.
The owner, Kim Chase was wonderful to work with and engaged with me immediately after the booking.
So, if you’re looking for an exclusive Jamaican hideaway sure to indulge all of your senses, make sure to book Strawberry Fields Together. It was one of our favorite stays in Jamaica!
Until next time,
Namaste,
