Having booked online at around  £60 per night for a deluxe ensuite room compared with double that price elsewhere we were apprehensive when we arrived as well as off colour from 24 hours travelling. Jay checked us in and the hotel was attractive with a tropical garden in front and stunning sea views at the rear. Our room was huge with good quality furniture and fittings, an effective AC unit, large flat screen TV, Comfortable super king sized bed, a curved multi window aspect looking straight out to sea and a large bathroom with spa tub bath and overhead shower. After unpacking we wandered across the road to the Island Spice restaurant which is a predominantly a take out place offering Jamaican food.  Their menu was in Jamaican dollars and we only had US dollars so we headed back to Waters Edge to decide what to do. Peter intercepted us to welcome us to his hotel and asked if we needed help with anything. When we explained our need for local currency he told us where the nearest bank was and offered to either flag down a route taxi or take us himself without charge. This welcome and kindness changed our generally positive but slightly mixed first opinion to us being completely satisfied with our choice. Peter and Jay and their staff continued to be both friendly and kind throughout our ten day stay balancing the commercial needs of running a business with some complimentary items such as our first coffee and later kayak hire.
We had a fantastic holiday exploring the entire North West corner of the Island returning to the peace and tranquillity of Waters Edge in between trips out. We took full advantage of the large decking extending out over the bay relaxing on Sun Loungers and most days snorkled directly off the patio. In the evening we watched the sunset looking out across the Caribbean. Would we stay again? Absolutely!
Peter is constantly upgrading and maintaining the hotel with a deck extension underway while we were there. He is careful to avoid disturbing guests and we found it fascinating watching the progress. 
There are a few points to be aware of. Electric sockets (here and elsewhere in Jamaica) are limited compared with what we expect at home and there  were only two doubles in our huge room although this was enough. Water pressure was OK for our shower but would have taken ages to fill the deep bath. The room rate is very good value so all meals, drinks, safe and fridge hire are extra. Ice is provided free along with a bucket. There is no beach with shallow water reaching right up to the hotel walls and steps down. You step out onto a very small area of clear sand which leads onto sea grass covered areas and rocks before you reach a deeper channel at the end of the decking. The closest sandy beaches of any size are at Montego Bay and Negril. Transport is essential really. We hired a scooter from Fantasy Crafts in Montego Bay. Most people hire a car. Locals are courteous and considerate drivers (except in rush hour) but drive like lunatics overtaking on blind corners. Taxis are expensive although cheaper if booked through Peter. Route (shared) taxis are incredibly cheap and pass the hotel in both directions every few minutes. If you are staying in a resort hotel and eating in tourist restaurants US dollars are all you need. If you want to use local restaurants and bars get some local currency to avoid random exchange rates being used. Supermarkets and petrol stations use local currency but will take US dollars.
One final thing is to understand Jamaica have lots of rules although many of them are ignored....... We found it quite disturbingly when we checked in to have to read and sign an eight page hotel rules document. When we got to the supermarket and had to leave our bags with security and couldn't take the trolley out to the car park we understood the whole rule thing a bit better. It's just an example of cultural 
differences and we got over it!

Peter and Jay and wee Morgan shared their home with us. Meals are available at a very reasonable cost and are a simple tasty Jamaican experience. A perfect setting to relax and enjoy the view, swim and mingle with great new friends also enjoying the tranquility. We met some really interesting people from different backgrounds and  we heard great  stories. Peter picked coconuts  for all of us one morning and gave us a real island welcome.
Yes, transportation is a very big issue. If you don’t rent a car expect at least 40$ to an average restaurant and a 60$ meal so dining is expensive . We had two transportation problems with missed pickups which were troubling and added cost.

Beautiful quiet guest house

These folks are amazing. Do not hesitate to stay at Waters Edge Guest House. They took care of us Very well. They treated us like family. Peter and Jay made sure everything was perfect. Peter picked us up at the airport and drove us anywhere we wanted to go. He showed us tourist stuff or local stuff whatever we wanted. He seemed to know someone everywhere we went. Don't miss the bird sanctuary.

After landing stuff started to fall apart, no phone service, excursion booked wrong  and husband spilled his shower gel all over my clothes. So after being on the phone with T-Mobile for over a hour I freakin need a drink and to look at the water...... get to the dock and before I can sip.... my drink spills! I’m frustrated but out of no where comes Pete and just a small conversation makes my night just a lil bit better. Thanks Pete you are alright with me. Hopefully i can get it right, btw I am a big mouth. Lol

1st day

What can I say? Peter has made a wonderful getaway for his visitors. You walk in and you are immediately taken aback by the beauty of the lobby. And, as you're standing in the lobby, you are able to look directly through the doors to the Caribbean Sea. As a matter of fact, it's possible to keep walking straight out onto the pier (I think it's a pier).

I stayed for four days and three nights. My room was just as lovely. Lots of room and the bed was amazingly comfortable! You could seriously stay between the bedroom and the ocean for your whole vacay. It is that relaxing. I may have seen the other couple staying here twice. Otherwise, we were all alone. Peter and the girls that work there were always around if you had a question - but you didn't feel as if they were hovering at all. You get the feeling it's your own space.

Kayaking equipment is provided for a small charge - and it's awesome! (my first time doing it). We did not have to share the waters with any other visitors or tourists AND, it was unlimited kayaking!!! I just can't explain the release that is felt when you are at a place that is NOT crowded and touristy. 

Breakfast was fine. Depending on how you book, there is a complimentary breakfast. In addition, there is a menu with plenty of other breakfast choices on it for a small charge. We ate out, so I cannot remember if there is dinner. However, there is a restaurant across the street. I did not go there.

Buses and taxis are available right outside the gates. I say travel locally and experience the area. Nothing is too far away.

Peter, the owner. (smiling). Always leaves you with the feeling that he is indeed working for you the customer to have THE most pleasant experience. As other reviewers have indicated, he is always working to improve something, somewhere on the grounds. Water's Edge is truly his creation and you can tell that he's poured a lot of love and sweat into it. 

I especially appreciated ALL the times he had to take a few moments to explain or re-explain something to me (you know what I mean Peter, Lol!) But, it was never a bother to him - he always made sure every explanation was crystal clear. Our chat over coffee on my last morning - it was about EVERYTHING! So, you also get a great conversationalist.

All in all, I'd definitely say Waters Edge Villa is a perfectly quiet, getaway spot. You really will enjoy your time there. We definitely did.

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!

This is a fantastic place for a romantic gateway, a wedding, a reception, and, yes, a honeymoon trip. Christine and I had the best experience here. Peter, the owner-manager-driver-do-all guy went out of his way to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. This is a small (8 rooms), beautiful, clean, safe, real place ran by a Jamaican owner. This is not one of these corporate all-inclusive hotels that imprison you. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT for couples, groups of friends, etc. Peter is also upgrading the place to add a swimming pool, etc to make it on-site pleasant for small children. Also, if you need a ride, Peter would drive you for an affordable fee. Highly recommended, the best place in Jamaica. 

Me and my wife stayed there for our honeymoon trip between December 11-20, 2018

This was our final destination in me and my brothers adventure around the island. I can’t say enough about the absolutely amazing hospitality everyone displayed. Sharon,Melody and the owner Peter were there to help and please us to no end. Luxurious building with hardwood and marble everywhere. Loved sitting out back watching the cruise ships come and go. Thanks to all of you and can’t wait to see you again in 5 months. Big Up !!

Around Jamaica in 10 days. #9-10 

Beautiful property. Had my wedding there and stayed two nights. Had some ants in the room, other than that no major issues. The owner was very accommodating.  I would definitely recommend this location for persons who want a private seaside wedding

Great experience, I would stay there again

My husband and I stayed there for a week, there were people talking in the hall way in the night waking us up, a baby crying that belongs to the owner or whoever she is. Each time we took a shower the bathroom flooded. No one was really there to assist you when you need something from the kitchen. There was also a housekeeper who would always stare even when she came to the room she would break her neck to look inside our room. The room was spacious I’ll give them that! Construction still being done on the deck while you’re there. Also don’t expect any food whatsoever. 

WON’T BE STAYING HERE AGAIN 

THIS place is a hole full of bugs and the owner is only concern with money that’s how bad this place is bugs everywhere water bugs as no roaches yes big one the first night there no wash rags in the bathroom and would you believe they cut a towel in half to give us as rags to bath with and when you get there he wants a deposit which you will only get back one hundred dollars because he wants a one hundred and fifty dollar deposit and hes keeping fifty this guy is a nasty person plz avoid this place by all means don’t let those pics fool you this place isn’t up to par don’t waste your money

The owner is a con artist he fell bcuz you come from America your stupid this place is a hole full with bugs
