In line wit the peace and quiet Caribbean Jewel Beach Resort has a small bar and restaurant, which has terrific views of the harbour. The food is not bad by some Caribbean standards, especially at dinner, but there are several good nearby restaurants which are well worth a visit.
You are going to need to work quite hard to book the Caribbean Jewel Beach Resort because it isn't very well advertised. This may be because it lacks the glitz and glamour of the all inclusives, or the sports facilities of other hotels. What it does have apart from affordability, is the fact that is just a lovely place to be. The staff are very attentive, the views are amazing, it is so peaceful, and relaxed. Yes the restaurant may disappoint slightly, and the fact that it is on a hill overlooking the bay means a long climb back, but these are just small niggles, which don't come close to spoiling an affordable family vacation at the very nice, almost boutique resort of Caribbean Jewel Beach.
