Since you all seemed to enjoy our photos of Goldeneye in Jamaica, we thought we'd do you one better and post this video, taken inside one of the Beach Cottages. That hammock is possibly the most inviting one we've ever seen, and the cottage's spitting-distance proximity to the beach doesn't hurt either!]]> ASchechter 2011-08-19T15:55:31-05:00 Oracabessa: Jamaica's Goldeneye Debuts New Beach Cottages http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/8/17/8521/30575

Here's a little eye candy for your mid-week slump: a gallery of photos from inside one of the brand new Beach Cottages at Jamaica's Goldeneye, former home of Ian Fleming and preferred getaway of Jay-Z & Beyonce, Bono, and anyone else with a one-word name.

We were lucky enough to spend a few nights here earlier in the summer and loved the mix of high and low. High, being the beauty and top-of-the-line materials used in the decor, and low simply being the laidback vibe that lilts through the place like a warm Jamaican breeze or slice of reggae --which is, of course, available in abundance on your in-room Squeezebox music player.

Everywhere you turn at Goldeneye, the former home of Bond creator Ian Fleming, there are stunning views. But if you're lucky enough to spend time at the luxe resort in Oracabessa, Jamaica, it's this sign that will lead you to some of Goldeneye's best eye candy.

Tucked under the bridge that leads from the resort's open-air 'reception', over the lagoon to Low Cay Beach is the Wata Sport Beach, and this is where you'll find Dane and Dave Fletcher. These young gents will set you up for any of the water-based diversions Goldeneye has on tap, from snorkeling and kayaking to jetskiing or a tour of the coral reef on the resort's house boat, Glasseye.
