The beach at French Man Cove us beautiful, and can visited by purchasing a pass for the day.
I'd highly recommend this rather than staying at the hotel.
The hotel is old, dilapidated in places and very dark at night.
The kettle in the room produced very dirty water on first use, so was not used again. The AC unit outside is noisy, and leaks water onto the balcony.
There is wooden block stick provided to secure the balcony door, as I assume locks don't work.
The beds within the rooms are very small, particularly length wise.
Returning from the beach after sunset is a very dark walk, with very few lights leading to the rooms.
Security staff and the lifeguards were helpful, however beach bar staff (which is the only place to access food on site as the kitchen is unavailable due to renovations) were slow to assist and rarely ventured onto the beach to take orders/assist.
Guests of the hotel are required to pay for beach chairs, the same as visitors to the beach.

We love the area! It is quiet and very peaceful. The beach and river are amazing! They do need to put some work into the villas as they are very out dated, the patio doors don’t lock properly and the louvered windows are missing glass in some areas. Overall, we had a lovely time!

This is a quaint property with a nice beach and family friendly environment. The villas are a little antiquated but very clean.
It was a good experience. This property had lots of potential and we are glad we went. However, we knew to expect a less updated version of what it used to be . The villa definitely needs some upgrading. The faucet in the kitchen barely had any water and the whole property needed a good power wash on the outside. The views were amazing but there was lots of overgrown greenery. The privacy was priceless and it was wonderful to have the beach to ourselves in the morning. I was on the understanding that they have been renovatong for a while, but the property doesnot reflect it. Once renovations are actually done we would gladly return. The place has a special magic that we truly appreciated.
Beach is beautiful, hotel territory a wonderful jungle.
Standard rooms below expectations (but it’s Jamaica 😂).
Maybe Villas are better but prices are high.
The dated decor which are in shambles made our trip precarious for good reason. The sliding doors which lead outdoors cannot be closed properly posing a security risk.

Frenchman’s is simply a beautiful property, and we will certainly be visiting again. The room needs a bit of TLC, but that pales in comparison to the atmosphere is offers.
The cottage was great and the overall property was green and eco friendly. However, the small 'garden' area at the back of the cottage facing the sea, needs attention and maintenance.
We likedthat the villa was old style and nice. and the beach was walking distance. The floors were a little dirty but the rest of the amenities were nice and old school with new creature comforts like hot water and internet
