My, my, Irina, you've really outdone yourself this time - this documentary is nothing short of PBS or BBC quality. I've never heard of places like this before, but while watching, I had the distinct impression that this family, this little hotel, this town, the people , this is all the true, true, REAL Jamaica! Nothing flashy, but just REAL and authentic Jamaican culture, REAL and authentic Jamaican people. When I saw that old-time kerosene lamp when you entered Miss Sally's house, I knew we were going to be treated to some AUTHENTIC Jamaican culture and history. Congratulations on another well-done video - it took a foreigner to show the JTB how to REALLY promote and showcase Jamaica, its history, its people and its culture!

I had the best time in treasure beach! Only went to the restaurant at Jakes but food and ambiance was excellent. South coast is magical and it's a level of peace that's hard to find. Treasure beach has the best seafood. My favorite was going to eggys bar on a friday, around 10 am the fisherman come in with the catch and we bought four giant lobsters for $20 USD, eggy grilled them up and we had a feast. Catch a boat right there then off to pelican bar for sunset. We also did black river and ys falls while there. Our favorite was just laying by the pool and relaxing. There is no pressure to do anything there but rest. Cant wait to go back. We live here on the island 4 months out the year and love your videos.

Thanks for this video about Treasure Beach and The Henzell Family that has helped considerably to put the place as well as Jake's on the map. Jamaica despite its modest size has diversity. My paternal family is from Treasure Beach ( known to old timers as Pedro Plains) where we visited in my early childhood. In the 1930s a small hotel was established there, but had marginal success. During the second world war American officers sometimes stayed there, as well as a few Jamaicans . Several years later a relative and her husband started a hotel that was shuttered not long after opening. I recall touring the closed property as a youngster. Glad The Henzells have been a success.

Thank you for creating this post! I looooooooove Jakes and have been visiting since 2006, back in the “no AC or hot water” days;). I booked my second trip whilst in the midst of my very first visit to Jake’s, lol. In 2021, I turned 50 and we had a large group coming down to celebrate. Unfortunately, just weeks before my birthday, the Covid-19 Delta wave came about, took over Florida and landed Jamaica on the “Do Not Travel” list. Even though we were all vaccinated, knowing how critical that particular strain was (and at the time Jamaica still had rather low vaccination rates) in tandem with the limited number of hospitals available to the residents of Treasure Beach; and also the chance of any of us having a breakthrough case (something that before then, we’d not really known to happen) and having to possibly quarantine in an airport hotel for up to 2 weeks, therefore missing work Stateside, we had to cancel:( That said, we’re hoping to recreate the celebration this year!! Fingers crossed:). Soon come. X

Irina this was excellent! More of a doc than a vlog as your videos are beginning to enter short film territory in the evident research behind them, editing, interview questions, format and delivery and overall production. The best feature I have seen about the storied Henzell family, iconic The Harder They Come film, notable Calabash Literary Festival and reputable community development which adds great dimension to the journey of the founding and development of Jakes and the area. Treasure Beach is my favourite place to vacation exactly because of the quiet ambiance, local community feel and laidback beaches that feel like you are the only one on them for hours and miles, which often you are. Nothing like spending an afternoon walking along stretches of beach and discovering interesting off the grid spots, residents reflecting the character of the community and watching fishing boats come in. Also walking up into the hills to the Sports-centre is a great excursion during the day to wander/wonder through the grove of trees featuring the various motivational quotes and take in a day or Six-A-Side night football match. The only thing I would add is the wide range of private villas sprinkled along the south coast area that is our usual choice of accommodations along with a few other small boutique hotels. If "laidback and chill" was a place. I know there are some tensions around the low tourism density efforts which hopefully engages other local residents to determine as they may be interested in opportunities for the coming generations of their families. Hopefully it will still maintain its own character as many remember when Negril used to be like Treasure Beach is now. Brilliant work!

That movie is a collector's item and definitely one of the many treasures of our rich and vibrant history. The segment with Ms. Sally, the kids and art was a top notch moment! Gwaan dweet! Massive appreciation to you and your team and the work you're putting in.

Thank you Irena, came across your videos a few weeks ago and it made me proud to be Jamaican. Stayed at Jakes couple times and loved it. You are definitely a great asset for Jamaica and a source of invaluable, unbiased, down to earth info on all things Jamaican.

See I'm not the only one that appreciates what you've created Irina, fantastic😊. Born in Treasure Beach or what's really Frenchman Bay. I know the Jakes property from I was a child, my fathers Grandparents lived there for some years before it was bought. I've wanted to learn more about Sally and that was really great. Thank you both for sharing, very appreciated. Your videos are superb and watching you grow in your journey is a pleasure. For those that don't know or wants to know, the moniker Treasure Beach comes from the Treasure Beach Hotel built in the late 60's early 70's, forget time line, lol. I recommend a vacation to anyone at any of the many places to stay in Treasure Beach, you will love it. Irie, Irina ✌😊 Hope you do another on the area.

A brilliant and well researched documentary. I applaud the uplifting and positive contribution the Henzell and Jakes family has provided the community of Treasure Beach. Your effort in presenting to us these positive highlights reminds us that a rising tide lifts all boats. Another great 👍🏾 one for us with history to share

Watched this today and was blown away by this documentary. What a lovely place. I wanted to run down and stay. Loved the family’s story. As usual well balanced reporting. Later spoke to my friend who is currently visiting Jamaica, only to learn that a large group of her family have booked to stay here in a few weeks’ time. Oh my gosh they are going to be living my dream. I think I would love to visit when the book festival is on. She also said that when you fly in it might be a good idea not to travel straight from the airport if you are travelling from the UK, as flights are usually late but maybe stay overnight local to where to fly into, and then travel down the following day and enjoy the journey
