Outside guests can join us at the beach bar by small boat and or jet skis from neighboring homes and hotels 8am to 8pm. Swimming and snorkeling can keep one in the warm water for hours at a time. At night the lighted cruise ships cross the horizon like glistening pieces of jewelry as they seem to be drawn to the moon beams illuminating the sea.

Our History A bit of history
Moxons was built by Timothy Moxon a transplanted Englishman, he was friends with the likes of Noel Coward (a British playwright), as well as author Ian Fleming the creator of the master spy, James Bond.
Most of the movies were written and filmed here. Timothy was a flight pilot in the war and did crop dusting here in Jamaica; he played some small parts in the James Bond movies with his small plane until he managed to crash it at the nearby Boscobel air strip.
A couple of the propeller blades of that incident are still part of the existing gate to our parking area as well as Timothy's many colorful stories of those wonderful days gone by...
Timothy then turned the place over to his brother Oliver who was married to the lovely and talented chef Baroness Bonita, together they made it a gourmet Mecca in the 70s 80s and early 90s that lured VIP visitors from near and far. Notably, Dean Martin, Elizabeth Taylor, Henry Kissinger, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Boy George... to mention just a few.
When they passed on, it was sold to Italians who maintained it mostly for family and corporate meetings. In the later years it became run down and left to the staff to eek out a meager living by renting rooms to the highway men.
Johanne MacDonald, a Canadian woman, born in Montreal is the new proprietor, she is a self-made single mother who has dabbled in many careers, her diverse talents ranging from modeling, acting, film and television production, stock broker, realtor, a world wide traveler who has been living in Miami Beach for the past 18 years restoring Art Deco properties.
As the beach got crowded she opted out for greener pastures and found this dilapidated treasure in 2004, bought it post hurricane Ivan in 2005 and has been rebuilding the property to its present charm and beauty. It will only get better with time as Johanne is often seen around the property with hammer and paint brush in hand charming the masons, carpenters and painters.
