Encompassing more than twenty lush, green acres forty miles from the city of Montego Bay, Breezes Golf and Beach Resort feels worlds away from reality. The gentle fragrance of tropical flowers drifts in the sea breeze. The horizon is a brilliant collage of white sand and azure water. And you're free to be yourself, in a hammock beneath a swaying palm...or re-invent yourself, with video-assisted golf & tennis schools, the best SCUBA in Jamaica and a PGA-quality golf course so challenging it's been the home of the Heineken World Cup Western Hemisphere Qualifying Tournament for 2 years running, as well as the home of the Jamaica Open.

The Executive Chef at Breezes won Chef of the year for 2003! So you know you are in good hands!
