This is a fantastic hotel if you do not want to be catered for in a 5 star luxury hotel, of which there are quite a number in the northern vicinity of the seven mile beach. Ditto if you have kids and want them to be looked after all day, I would recommend going to one of the more upmarket places. That said, however, if you do have kids and love them like you should & want to be with them in the day then Country Country should suit.

We (myself and girlfriend both under 30) stayed in a standard room and bar the mosquitoes at night (buy plenty of mozzie repellent) found the accomodation very sweet, colourful and tidy with an enormous bed & satellite TV.

The breakfasts were good, the beach area belonging to the hotel is quite small but there's seven miles of beach to explore so this should not be an issue.

Staff are generally cool.

Enjoy Italian food with fresh, local seafood? Go to Gino's which is about 10 mins walk south. Norma's, round the corner is good, too. The absolutely must visit restaurant is the Rock House which should cost around $6-8 in a taxi to get back from with free pick up. Comparable prices but with food & service of a much higher standard to local eateries. Rock House has stunning scenery, is perched on top of a cliff with visible submerged caves, makes a great change to the beach restaurants.

I went down to Jamaica with two friends and we stayed at Country Country for 4 nights. We had a terrific stay and loved it there. The staff is very nice and was quite helpful and the rooms are really cute. The beach is small but we didn't have any trouble getting chairs (perhaps it was also the end of the season) and the restaurant right on the beach was great. We got the package that included breakfast and ate there every morning looking right out over the water. Breakfast was really good - pancakes, omelettes, and traditional Jamaican breakfast were all tasty. We only had a couple problems. When we got there they put us in the downstairs level of a 2 level cottage. Because we'd paid for the Premium suite (better of the two) we asked to be moved. The website and all the info we'd gotten said that if you ask for Premium, you'll either stay in a stand-alone cottage or on the 2nd floor. They moved us and it was no problem. However, I'd recommend when you make your reservations if you pay for premium tell them you want either a stand-alone cottage or a 2nd floor. The second problem was that we had no hot water for two days. It wasn't that big a deal, though, because it was so hot that we didn't mind cool showers. But if you were staying longer it could be an issue.
Overall, Country Country was excellent and I'd definitely stay there again.
