Snag a spot on Rocksteady’s covered deck to watch the sun set between the palms.
Dress Code
Chic kaftans and sea salt-tousled hair are the must-have accessories at Marketplace, but swap the cozzie and flip-flops for crisp linens and floaty frocks to dine at Rocksteady.
Hotel restaurant
Come hungry, folks. With two main restaurants, a café and an alfresco grill, there’s much feeding to be fitted between the pool-hopping and tan-honing. Rocksteady, the hotel’s culinary headline act, is a celebration of some of Jamaica’s finest homegrown goodies. The menu spotlights the country’s fresh-caught seafood and regional specialities, and prints by legendary local artist Michael ‘Freestylee’ Thompson deck out the light-flooded dining room.
Pull up a white-rattan pew in Marketplace for a more casual bite. With a hearty morning buffet of local favourites on offer, breakfast here is hard to beat, but between the irie atmosphere and ocean views, we wouldn’t blame you for lingering for a long alfresco lunch…and dinner. Poolside, there’s a menu of salads, made-to-order sandwiches and fresh-off-the-grill specialties to tuck into; or head up to the Sky Deck for a selection of tapas come sundown. And, in case you’re still hungry, S Café – your stop for pastries, fresh-pressed juices and pulls of Blue Mountain espresso – is open 24 hours to keep you in round-the-clock rations.
Hotel bar
After a hard morning’s sunning and splashing, a classic cocktail or ice-cold Red Stripe goes down swimmingly. Grab one at the pool bar and grill, alongside a lunch menu of sandwiches, salads and freshly squeezed juices. At the rooftop bar, craft cocktails are poured within paddling distance of your cabana. Chase your tropical tipple of choice with a selection of tapas and swoon-inducing sunset views. Come nightfall, toast the Caribbean’s golden-child export over a piña colada or gutsy rum punch at the Lobby bar. Here, the bartenders mix up a curated list of local-favourite cocktails, so you’ll be seeing in the small hours like you’re MoBay born-and-bred.
