<span style="font-family: 'Fixedsys'">
Harmony Cove has been envisioned as Jamaica’s flagship destination resort community. Now, with the master plan and development program complete, that goal is clearly within sight. The intention was to produce a complete lifestyle opportunity, offering guests services and amenities that will exceed international five-star standards in a branded, signature property.

Harmony Cove is being carefully integrated into a unique landscape that features a collage of mountainous terrain and powder white beaches as well as several reminders of Jamaica’s past, including the proud ruins of an historic sugar mill. Here, the unique landscape provides magnificent views as well as natural opportunities for exclusivity for each of the resort components. Some hotels, for example, are positioned atop mountains ridges and hillsides for both awe-inspiring vista and privacy. Aston Vale Resort is set on Harmony Cove’s northwest beach with easy access to what will be Jamaica’s finest golf course, Barrett Green. The family resort, Buccaneer Bay, is nestled on the east beach, a sort stroll from the Bougainvillea Beach Club. The Convention Hotel, with 1,750 rooms and 250 timeshare units, was designed to support Water Square, Harmony Coce’s Marina Village, and is positioned high on a hilltop with a dramatic view of this energetic enclave of shopping, dining, entertainment and gaming.

With approximately 300 slips, the marina is integral to Harmony Cove and the avid boaters and yachtsmen who are sure to congregate here. The site for the marina was simply ideal - a flat portion of land with a naturally occurring lagoon. With the surrounding village, this will be the heart and soul of Harmony Cove. In fact, the excitement of this area is matched only by the thrill of getting there. Harmony Cove’s signature design element is a spectacular cascade of water splashing down more than 150 feet. And set amidst this dramatic cascade is a pair of glass elevators in which guests will descend to the square below.

Harmony Cove s hidden gem is the Akaaba Spa. Located along a mountain ridge, it will catch the cool easterly breezes and provide magnificent views, while retaining its seclusion and privacy. The residential component of Harmony Cove is spread throughout the property to provide owners the privacy and exclusivity they desire and deserve. The eleven Manor Houses are set along a western hillside looking out over both the golf course and the beach. The Grand Villas are also positioned along a ridge, offering unobstructed golf course views. The Estate Villas run along a third ridge, benefiting from the ocean and garden views. And the Marina Town homes will be located directly on the marina.

The design concept of Harmony Cove capitalizes on the incredible features of this magnificent land and the rich history and culture of Jamaica itself. The result is a development that will surely be the world’s next great destination resort.</span>

Re: I have a question

harmony COve huh??? That was sort of the idea of Palmayrra (sp?) wasn't it. It's about to go belly up. So this is a little community in which you can enjoy Jamaica's beauty but never come out from behind you safe walls I assume?

They are using the theme park (aka Disney model) or special exhibition at museums model. The entertainment always ends in the gift shop
