“Small but very welcoming”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

We stayed at Piper's Cove in July 2011 using it as a base to travel inland to visit relatives. We flew into Montego Bay and hired a car from Island Rentals. A pleasant drive along the coast to Runaway Bay took just over an hour. Look out for the sign off the main road, easily missed at night!
On arrival we met the famous Mrs Chin, everything you read about her in these reviews is true. A more helpful host you would be hard pushed to find on the island.
We were shown to our apartment overlooking the pool and with a sea view. The main bedroom had air conditioning and a ceiling fan which kept the room very cool, essential as it was hot at night.
The friendly staff had put a rollaway bed in the living room and my two daughters, 11 & 9, were very comfortable there.
The bathroom was roomy with a bath & wall mounted shower with fresh towels as required.
The kitchen had a fridge and electric cooker and a few basic utensils. We ate out most of the time, but it came in handy for preparing snacks in the evening.
The apartment was cleaned to a high standard every day and all bathroom essentials restocked.
The complex has a small pool overlooking a private beach. This was cleaned every morning.
The beach is ideal for youngsters a gently sloping sandy area that is protected from the waves by a natural rock wall. Ant debris washed up during the night is raked clean every morning.
We only ate at the complex once when all of our relatives came to visit. The food was reasonably priced and delicious, throughly recommend.
We stayed for two weeks and although there were other guests it felt as though it was our private holiday home.

“always our place of choice.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

had our wedding here in 2001 where miss chin catered, provided a room for the bride and my bridal party to get ready. she recommended a florist THE DAY BEFORE the wedding who was timely and prepped the pool area for ceremony and reception....the wedding party table was romantically set under the almond tree lol.and a baker (sheila movery in ochie) who made a 4 teir basket weave black cake to die for.miss chin helped to make our day perfect. we returned for our 10th anniversary a few weeks ago. miss chin and her staff never disappoints. had to make an unexpected trip for funeral in april and with short notice and earlier than usual check in time we were easily accomodated-as always. rooms are cleaned daily, the staff is honest and soooo friendly. each room comes with a wall safe to secure travel docs and cash. its just a good place to be truss mi. i will always choose pipers any time i am in jamaica. its close to all-dunns river, chukka, dover, treasure beach, coyaba, dolphin cove, ochie etc. if you rent a car its secure or if you want to charter a taxi, they will hook you up.

Room Tip: every room has its own special view, ocean, garden or mountain

The care taker is the sweetest...Ms Chin you are the best. The environment is very cozy and relaxing. The food was excellent made to order. Rate was great...I was there in Feb and went back in Aug and she remembered us, that was great. The room was clean and spotless. The landscape was well kept and the pool was divine.

“Great place - would definitely go back”

Stayed at Piper's Cove for a week and had a fantastic time. It's very different from the large, all-inclusive resort hotels in Runaway Bay, and has a much more laid-back, welcoming and homely feel. The apartment was a good size and had everything we needed - not lavishly furnished, but a decent standard of decor, and very clean and tidy.

The staff were great and really went out of their way to make sure we had a good stay, especially Beres the gardener, who really looked after us.

Piper's Cove is only a short walk from Flavours beach bar as well, which was great for fried fish and a cold beer!
