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.
