This was a nightmare i booked in the evening and recieved confirmation. I arrived within checkin period. The place was pitch black completely dark as if shut down. front gate was chained locked. I attempted to knock and use intercom no response from place itself , no response at all. I attempted to call multiple times kept going to voice mail. Devastated and stranded because treasure beach is in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night i was left to scramble find somewhere to go after in the night as i was already tired and just wanted to finally rest in my accommadation. I was previously at another hotel the day before and had a wonderful time i regret my decision to leave that first property to explore others. After much debate with the inital customer care rep..hotel also didnt answer tjeir calls .i was able to get my full refund from the manager from travel website who understood my distress and the precarious position i was left in. Later that night i recieved a call after checkin period ended just saying hotel was not available for me. Another poor move on behalf of the hotel no reason was given just simply that. Although the outside looked well kept and pictures online im not sure what is in there .but i will never try to go there again and i hope they never leave another person stranded at least answer the phone!

Hello from Marbluevillasuites, thank you for your review.we read with full distress that you might have this experience, since we never had your name come up in a reservation.Last check in time is 8 pm and one of us is always at that time on property. Our house has no chain lock and no intercom.Are you sure it was our property? Unfortunately you did not leave a time in your review and your full name, when you might have been at the gate, so we are not able to follow up what happened to your reservation which we never received.Please adviceus when you booked the room , date and time and with which booking platform.so we can follow up.Although it can happen that your reservation was lost in cyberspace.Again we are sorry that you had this experience in Treasurebeach which we call home.

My daughters and I stayed at Marblue Villa Suites for eight days, including New Year's day. It was one of the best vacations we have ever had. Andrea and Axel were good hosts, assisting with needed information or tours. They made great recommendations for tours and restaurants. Breakfast every morning was delicious, thanks to Axel. I had one of the best massages of my life, with Joshua who comes to Marblue. We did not rent a car and we easily walked to local restaurants and beachside bars. Jake's for sunset was a favorite. The town is full of friendly locals and some tourists. It is very low key and we felt safe walking as three women. Mostly what we appreciated about Marblue was the beauty, peace and tranquility of the place. The whole place is elegantly simple and set in a perfect, quiet, natural location. The beach is stunning and can be seen and heard from any room, hammock and the pool. You can sit or wade in the sea directly in front of Marblue. There is good swimming by walking five minutes east or west. Some days we saw 8 people at most on the entire span of beach. It is incredible. We hope to return to this special place.

Beautiful view of the ocean. Pool overlooked the ocean. Cons were lack of security and low water pressure when taking a shower.

Thank you very much for your review. You come to Treasure Beach because of no need for security, the water pressure is sometime low and sometimes not, we do have no influence on that. Thank you for mentioning our pros.Have a great time exploring the other areas of this beautiful island, which we call home for over 18 years.

The property was great and well maintained. The pool was clean and nice. The room was fantastic- spacious with nice furnishings and an open porch that overlooked the pool and ocean. The property was right on the ocean and a convenient walk down the beach to local restaurants. As a woman traveling alone, I felt safe and comfortable in the area and at the villa.

The pictures are pretty but the design of these villas is totally wrong for the tropics. The "living area" of the room between the bedroom and pool is totally useless because it is a HOT concrete cave with low roof. No ventilation. This property lies on a very breezy coastal area. The design of the rooms were not made to accommodate this so the rooms are hot saunas. Treasure Beach is a sunny area. Yet instead of using solar water heaters, the owners chose large electrical water heaters - which are in the room making for an eyesore as well as stealing away valuable floor space in the bedroom - as well as wasting ue amounts of energy. The shower was designed poorly so the water and runs out the bathroom, across the corridor and under the wardrobe. Very bad design. The slope in the shower is totally wrong. When I told the housekeeper about it she clearly knew it was an existing problem and simply brought more towels to soak up the water running out the bathroom. There is only one tiny garbage bin in the bathroom. There IS NOT ONE BIN on property. The instruction in the shared kitchen is to find your own plastic bag and leave the garbage in an open area under the sink. This seems very unhygenic to me. I am certain that not having covered bins in a kitchen is some violation of local health and sanitation laws. We were told to buy and bring our own ice because Treasure Beach runs out of ice. This was a lie. Treasure Beach does NOT run out of ice. This property has poor guest s

It is very interesting that 1000 of guests in 16 years liked the open air design .when leaving the room the room temperature was still super cold , around noon. We always provided bags for food waste and do not store any garbage in the container s. Your neighbor complaint about you, in regards of loud voices and maybe a dispute. Maybe our property was not the right find for you, but this could have been discussed while on property since you saw us every day. Now you write anonymous and there is nothing we can do for you to address your complaints. We are sorry that you have chosen this way but we hope that you will be happy next time in Treasure Beach somewhere else. Take care.

Amazing Hotel with Beach view.
We were warmly greeted by the Owner Andrea and felt at home right away. Our room was very comfortable and clean with an amazing ocean view. The walk into town for shopping and restaurants was a short 10 minutes. Very relaxing hotel.

Quaint peaceful escape
I hate to write this review as my husband and I loved our stay here. We want to keep this peaceful escape as a secret so we can return without much being changed. We ventured to Treasure Beach (2-2.5hr taxi ride) after getting married in Negril and needed a quiet escape to recuperate from the festivities. We opted to get the suite with it's own private plunge pool. The kitchen with a fridge was convenient for drinks and snacks but we didn't cook while there. We were fortunate as there was only one other room taken while we were there (it was in the off season). We felt like we had entire place to ourselves. We ate dinner here on our 1st night-this was cooked and prepared by one of the owners. It was made to order, a fresh and delicious fish dish. Breakfasts were also made to order and delicious as well. The beach is rocky but there are areas for swimming & cooling off. The rooms and pools at Marblue are clean and well tended to. The staff and their dog are very kind and friendly. We cannot rave enough about this hidden gem and its staff. We definitely plan on returning here.

MarBlue, a piece of Heaven
I cannot speak highly enough about my stay at MarBlue, or heap enough praise on the good people who own the resort and work there. Right off the bat, Axel and Andrea were extremely accommodating when I arrived hours before check-in. The room was made up immediately, and Axel and Andrea even upgraded me to a room with air conditioning after I mentioned my confusion about which amenities were included according to Hotels.com. At one point I feared I had an issue with a tooth, and Andrea immediately pulled up contact information for three different dentists in three different towns. They were accommodating, generous, kind and helpful, the views were beautiful, and everyone who worked there, especially Roxanne, who took care of my room and checked in on me to make sure everything was all right. I would highly recommend MarBlue for the wonderful people, the comfortable and spotless accommodation, and the gorgeous views!

Tranquility and Luxury come together
The Villas at MarBlue provide a unique beachfront experience that is centred around the traveller and not a resort. You are free to come and go as you please and create opportunities to restore your health and well-being. The living is easy. We enjoyed tranquil walks on the beach but were also invited to participate in biking, crafts and shopping at a nearby resort. Axel and Andrea were welcoming hosts, without being too intrusive.

Ups and Downs
A tough review to write. MarBlue is beautiful, the people are super nice, but we had some issues. The restaurant closed in January. We had no plans to rent a car. Andrea told us the staff would be happy to "BBQ a chicken for you." My husband is pescatarian, so every time we wanted food, we walked or took a cab, usually to Jake's. This was EXTREMELY inconvenient. On our last day, the couple downstairs told us that meals had been delivered to their room (they mentioned that they were served fish). Had we been told this, we would definitely have taken advantage of it, and it would have saved us a lot of trouble (and cab fares). We ran out of cash, and there is no international ATM nearby, so we had to take a cab all the way to Black River. We were harassed by the locals when we got there. I cried the whole way back to MarBlue. We got a room upgrade when I was told of the restaurant closure, which was very nice. Our room was huge and comfortable. It was pouring rain on arrival, and rain came in the room in 3 spots in the ceiling. They cleaned it up, and gave us a free breakfast at Hold da Vibz café, which was nice. The toilet began to leak, and they fixed it immediately. Fabulous beach close by, with no rocks in the water to stub your toes on. But watch out for the undertow. It's very dangerous. Overall, we had a nice stay, but I really wish they had told us that we could have had meals in our room.

Beach front hotel, away from the hustle bustle
Great place to unplug and unwind. Go stroll by the beach, go swim in there - if the weather cooperates. Go swim in the pool, read a book. Go on your own expedition/hike. Treasure beach itself is a quiet place, and is like a blank canvas; like treasure- you must go search for its beauty. We certainly did, with the help of Marblue and their staff.

Marblue is pure paradise!
Marblue is a perfect hotel for couples or families with older children. All of the rooms face the ocean, close enough to hear the the waves crashing on the shore. The property is lovely, with two very clean swimming pools, hammocks in the trees, lounge chairs and lovely flowering trees. The beach is wonderful for walking, but a little too rocky for swimming directly outside of the hotel. The staff are very attentive when you need them; otherwise, you would not know they were there. So quiet and peaceful. Pearce arranged for a massage for me one day - Joshua was fantastic, and a great deal for $80. Nothing like a massage while listening to the ocean in the background.

Little slice of Heaven on the south side
We chose Marblue because it looked clean, modern and reasonably priced. Overall, we were very satisfied with our choice. Firstly, we had the entire place to ourselves. The team greeted us and let us know that they were there for any of our needs. The room was immaculate and overlooked the pool, garden and ocean. We usually kept the verandah door open to let in the breeze and ocean sound effects. SO relaxing. No TV, but we didn't miss it. The aircon worked wonders when needed. The entire grounds are truly beautiful. They even have a new puppy named Mausi that we got to play with the whole time! I highly suggest the American Breakfast ($19.95) which is enough for two. The restaurant is no longer open for business (shame!) Axel offered to make us a Jamaican jerk dinner one night and if you like jerk, it's really great. In terms of location, unlike what you hear about Jamaica, Treasure Beach is extremely walkable at all times of day/night. We didn't use a taxi once. My only complaints with Marblue are the following: no shampoo/conditioner given, no working ATMs anywhere on-site or nearby, and though the staff is AMAZING, you need to do most of your own research. All that said, I recommend this place 100% for private parties and anyone craving that modern, clean, boutiquey feel. Andrea, Axel, Carol, Chad, Nati... they're all amazing hosts. Jake's is SO much more expensive and I don't know why. You can stay at Marblue and visit Jake's day or night :)

Ideal for families exploring off the beaten path
Treasure Beach is a relief after the busy, touristy experience in Negril. Marblue offered our family of five a very spacious apartment with all we needed inclusive of terrace that gave out at the pool. The Host and hostess were very welcoming. The host is a top chef, so definitely recommend dining on premise. The hostess is more than happy to advise you on activities nearby (Pelican Bar, YS)

Ein zu Hause in der Karibik
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Eine Oase zum Wohlfühlen und entspannen. Unser Appartment (Pineapple)war sehr gut eingerichtet, mit Allem was man zum täglichen Gebrauch benötigt. Die Abende sind sehr gemütlich auf der Terrasse mit schönen Meeres Rauschen im Hintergrund. In der Nähe befindet sich ein Supermarkt und mehrere Restaurants. Immer ansprechbar waren die Besitzer Andrea und Axel und standen stets mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Ebenso aufmerksam und freundlich waren immer alle Angestellten.

Il Marblue è un posto incantevole, direttamente sul mare con servizi degni di un albergo a 5 stelle. Appena arrivati siamo stati accolti dalla simpatia di Andrea che ci ha portato nella nostra Pineapple suite! Una villa bellissima, pulita e confortevole, con doppia vista piscina e poi il mar dei caraibi! le mie bambine non si tenevano più per l'eccitazione! La mattina dopo una colazione squisita servita direttamente nel patio. E' un posto incantevole, un ottima base per tutte le gite da effettuare a Treasure Beach.
