Hi to everyone at Marblue - and thank you all so much for another fantastic visit.

We stayed at Marblue in November 2005 and wrote a review after that visit. We returned to stay for a week in April 2007. Since staying here in 2005 I have travelled alot but have not found anywhere as welcoming, relaxing and stylish without being at all pretentious. I was very surprised to find that staying at Marblue a second time was even better - I would not have thought this was possible!

Our welcome was lovely - like old friends and made us feel very special. As I wrote in my last review, the hotel is small, personal, stylish and excellent food. A private plunge pool (which is larger than I envisaged) was a fantastic addition to our room. There is private space to sunbathe around the plunge pool and a fab seat built into a corner which was perfect for reading whilst sitting waist deep in the pool.

Andrea and Axel have also built a bar and restaurant by the beach. It is a very relaxed environment and we felt quite overwhelmed by the stunning views over the beach and the sea whilst we ate. For some reason this was particularly remarkable at breakfast - and makes for a very peaceful start to your day. The food, as ever, was first class. Axel loves to create and often talked about ideas for the menu for the following day. He likes to take account of personal likes and dislikes along with what fresh produce is available. The menu really is created on that basis - handwritten each day.

Thank you all so much for making this another fantastic visit. We have never returned to the same hotel on holiday before and cannot wait to come back again. You have created something very special.

My wife and I went down to Jamaica for our honeymoon in January of 2006. The idea of having a mass produced vacation wasn't what we wanted, we wanted to stay in a nice place but long lines and buffets were not our cup of tea. We chose to stay in a couple of places including Marblue and Tensing Pen.

Marblue is really really nice. We stayed in one of the Verandah suites and it was great. When we showed up there was a botttle of complimentary champagne, the food was always exceptional and the hotel was spotless. When we were there we were the only guests (which was odd since I am not used such a high level of service) but I am sure that Marblue will soon be one of those places where it will be impossible to find an open room. We always went with the suggested meals and the food was really really good. Make sure you try a traditional breakfast.

While we were in Treasure beach we wandered the streets visiting local bras and restaurants and never felt unsafe and we were also never solicited for stuff. This was really nice, it made us feel like were were almost local and that our Jamaica experience was "more real" then the all-inclusive mega-resorts.

The beach was rocky and the waves crashed in front of the hotel so there was no swimming close to the hotel in the sea but the hotel did have 2 small clean pools and were amused by an angry little crab in the rocks.

Captain Dennis took us to see the aligators and to the peican bar, we also went to Ys Falls, had the roadside shrimp, and had jerk chicken at Ruby's place. I highly recommend it all.

If you are into the idea of staying in a huge resort Marblue may not be for you. It is really intimate. If the idea appeals to you of staying close to the locals in a really nice romantic place with only a handfull of other suites, I can't recommend Marblue more highly. I plan to return.

I stayed for four nights in February and I had a wonderful time. I was greeted by the owner on my arrival who gave me a free upgrade upon check in along with a complimentary glass of wine. My room had a verandah with a view of the beach; it was heaven waking up to the sound of the waves every morning. I traveled alone but at no point did I feel lonely. The staff made me feel like a part of the family. My nightly ritual was to go to the bar and chat with the bartender Tommy he is absolutely hysterical. During the days I would go for walks along the beach or go swimming. You must do the Pelican Bar tour with Dennis he will pick you up on his boat. Just ask a member of the staff and they will arrange it. Overall I had a wonderful time and will definitely be going back.

Imagine a secluded beach. Imagine a quiet, pristine property solely there to offer you a luxurious retreat from your stressful life. Imagine a place where you can relax in silence but also become part of a special group of family and friends.

Marblue's hosts and owners, Andrea and Axel, provide an upscale property catering to your every whim. I was overwhelmed by the top notch service and gourmet food. Previous reviews, although wonderful, certainly couldn't have prepared me for how special this vacation would be.

The rooms are posh. We stayed in a top floor Verandah suite..and how sweet it was. The bedroom has A/C and opens to an incredibly large open-air verandah. My husband and I spent hours on the ceiling fan cooled verandah, being lulled by the ocean's song as we relaxed and read books or just stared endlessly into the beautiful clear blue sea. We even fell asleep a few times on the comfy day bed which is covered in an exotic zebra print, sexy! The king size bed is very comfortable and we also were treated to extra large, plush and sumtuous cotton towels made right in Kingston. (Gotta find out how I can buy a couple of those.)

My husband and I felt like we were on a second honeymoon here, dare I say it was even nicer than our honeymoon in Sandals Jamaica and St. Lucia.

If you're a beach person, the ocean directly in front of the hotel is very rocky, make sure you have ocean shoes with you. We walked about 5 minutes towards the right of the property and had a beach almost to ourselves. This section of the beach is shared with fishing and day excursion boats. It's also just a 10 minute walk to Jake's and Jack Sprats from there.

The area is very safe. We had previously stayed in Negril and I couldn't sleep at night for fear of someone breaking into the room. I had not one worry about that at Marblue. Treasure Beach, St. Elizabeth is a very quiet, laid back town.

The staff was wonderful. Ask Jonathan to make you a homemade Pina Colada, you’ll never drink a mix again! Like a 5 star restaurant, my water glass was constantly filled. We were seved exotic dishes like oxtail (never in my life would I have imagined salivating over oxtail!). We were lavished with delicious and exquisitly prepared meals including Ahi Tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes, garlic basted lobster tail and ginger glazed lamb...Oh soooo good!

During the day, we walked to Jack Sprats for lunch and drinks. They’re a little pricey for lunch, but the food was great. There’s a little restaurant just less than a 5 minute walk from the property in a little shopping center (not much shopping there) that’s great and very affordable. We were escorted a few times by Taboo, the owners' dog. Taboo is a great tour guide and added a great deal of joy to our trip. He's a wonderful dog, very sweet and fun to play with. He even went swimming with us one day!

I hope to get the chance to stay at Marblue again. Andrea was very accommodating; she made sure we were taken care of and that she did. The pools, rooms and grounds are immaculate. Besides being spoiled at Marblue and enjoying the scenery, I’ll mostly miss the friends we made, I really felt like a part of the family by the time left. Axel’s food is amazing and he’s working on a cookbook, which I can’t wait to buy when it comes out. I really left a little piece of my heart at Marblue, my "Disneyland".
