To get a true sense of the place, check out the videos and pictures that accompany this review. Here are my best written descriptions of everything.

A breathtaking treat for your eyes
I really don’t need to use many words here. Just look at these spectacular views and images from the attached pictures!

The melody of nature is a delight to your ears
As if the views weren’t enough, the sounds of nature surround and immerse you. From inside the cabin, at night, you’re lulled to sleep to the rhythmic ocean waves that make you feel like you’re sleeping safely inside a cocoon in middle of the Caribbean Sea. Listen to the wonderful sounds on the videos and then read the next paragraph to get a better understanding of what I mean.

The sound of the water from inside is a beach lovers dream!. You got to hear that sound all day and night. It was heaven! Listening to that sound and looking at the water while you actually take a bath in the outdoor soaking tub was nothing short of sensory delight!

Open air, sea water and other scents of nature tickle your nose
Smell is hard to describe so I’ll keep this part short. The best way to describe it is pure. The air and everything in it, smelled pure, fresh, fragrant and calming.
All of this and I haven’t even told you about the cabin.

The Love Nest
Strawberry Fields Together is set up like a campground. There are detached cabins as well as a two-level house you can rent some or all of. We rented the upstairs unit with its own private entrance. It’s called The Love Nest.

When you see the mosquito netting on the video. don't be worried. When I booked the place and saw that, I immediately assumed there was an issue with mosquitos and came prepared. It’s really there for the look. We didn’t use or any of my mosquito preparations at all.

The windows open up partially or completely to expose the magnificent views you see in the pictures.

The kitchen
Since the place had a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator, we stopped at the grocery store and stocked the fridge with a plan for me to cook some of our meals.

The unit did have a kitchen. Yes, you can cook there. Unfortunately, the first morning there, we discovered the refrigerator was not working and our food was going bad.

When property management arrived, they immediately replaced the refrigerator. I was able to save some of the food and cook a few meals. Since there wasn’t a dishwasher, I limited my cooking. I will say, the hot water in the kitchen didn’t work very well so I found myself boiling water to wash and clean the dishes which pretty much ended the whole cooking plan.

Thankfully, Strawberry Fields has a wonderful restaurant onsite, called The Strawberry Patch. We’ve hit the senses of sight, sound and smell. Now let me tell you about the wonderful things I tasted at The Strawberry Patch restaurant.

The restaurant
We got to know Ms. Jennifer Wright who is the fantastic, long time homestyle cook for The Strawberry Patch. Ms. Jennifer has accolades for days adorning the walls of the restaurant. After eating her cooking, I completely understand why. Again, you'll want to look at the pictures to get a full sense of what I'm saying.

The restaurant was spacious, airy and had a scenic view of the water as you eat. They clearly took Covid concerns seriously. I found this to be the case all across Jamaica. These types of signs coupled with hand sanitizer were everywhere!

Ms. Jennifer wasn’t only a good cook, she was a great bartender! In one of the pictures is one of the special drinks she made for me. I don’t remember what it was but it had some strawberry goodness in it!

In addition to what was on the menu, Ms. Jennifer made my special request of ackee and saltfish. for my last morning on the island. I love this dish and ate it every chance I got while I was there.

The beach
Finally, I’ll get to the part of Strawberry Fields that indulges all of your senses at once, the magnificent beach! Again, words can't do justice but I'll try.

Strawberry Fields is also a private park you can pay an entrance fee and enjoy for the day. We arrived on Saturday, 12/26 which is also Boxing Day in Jamaica. That made it a holiday weekend. One of the things families do on holidays, is spend time together at the beach. People after my own heart! We saw families out enjoying the beach on Saturday and Sunday. But on Monday, I had the ENTIRE beach to myself! I suspect that’s what it’s like when it’s not a holiday weekend.

My favorite things
There were so many awe-inspiring parts of our stay, I could be here all day telling you about them. Instead, I’ll provide a few pics of my favorite things. Check out that large crystal. I'm still working on trying to convince Kim Chase, the owner, to sell it to me. 😉

Speaking of the owner, she was wonderful to work with and engaged with me immediately after the booking.

So, if you’re looking for a secret hideaway in Jamaica to indulge all of your senses, make sure to book Strawberry Fields Together. More
