On the outskirts of the buzzing city of Ocho Rios along a quiet strip in, rests a getaway that has welcomed numerous elite guests:

Moxons Beach Club resort. Comfortable room accommodations,   choice of pool lounging terrace and beach jetties, restaurant and bar areas are main attractions on-site.  The Restaurant property was built by Englishman Timothy Moxon, it evolved into a hub for international stars in the 1970s. The dining space overlooking the azure Caribbean Sea lured the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger, Boy George, and Bob Marley, just to mention just a few. ​

Current owner, Johanne MacDonald, is a former figure of the Canadian/ American entertainment industry. She was involved in the late 80’s & 90’s in restoring the Art Deco buildings of South Beach.  The soaring of its popularity and populace prompted her to seek a more peaceful home, which she found in Stewart Town at Moxons of Boscobel. Following the destructive hurricane Ivan in 2004, she purchased the dilapidated property along with the neighboring house for renovations, but ended up building a Hidden gem Boutique Hotel.   Johanne made a name for herself within the community, hiring most neighborhood residents to restore her newfound home to its former glory. She was the architect the contractor and teacher to the town laborers who after two years left as tradesmen. She ran her 100-man crew for 2 years around the clock working 3 shifts, often getting covered in cement & paint herself.   She’s also a resident who can often be seen around the property chatting with guests, some who’ve grown to become longtime friends of Moxons Beach Club as she now calls it.. The four-tier property sits on the face of a cliff, granting sweeping views of the seemingly-endless sea.
