Bahía Príncipe Escape Runaway Bay Pear Tree Bottom

The Resort & Setting

Bahía Príncipe Escape Runaway Bay sits on Salt Coopers, Runaway Bay, on Jamaica's north shore in St Ann parish. It's part of the Bahía Príncipe collection and operates as an adults-only, all-inclusive property — guests have five restaurants, four bars, three pools and a spa at their disposal, all within a single sprawling beachfront estate. With a 4.8/5 Google rating from over 31,900 reviews, it's one of the more consistently well-reviewed all-inclusive resorts on this stretch of coast.

The Area & Things to Do

Runaway Bay is a relaxed coastal town long popular with Jamaica regulars who prefer it to the busier Montego Bay or Negril strips. Runaway Bay Beach is right on the resort's doorstep, and the Runaway Bay Golf Course (a championship 18-hole course) is a couple of kilometres away. For day trips, the Green Grotto Caves — limestone caverns with an underground lake — are about 15km away, while Ocho Rios, with its shopping, cruise port and restaurant scene, is roughly 28km along the coast. Dunn's River Falls, Jamaica's best-known waterfall, is near Ocho Rios and a popular half-day excursion from Runaway Bay.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Bahía Príncipe Escape Runaway Bay and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward, owner-to-owner route: you list privately, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on a completed sale — sellers pay only a small, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because this is a branded resort, resale isn't quite like selling an independent property: Bahía Príncipe (or its owners' association) will have its own transfer process, and may apply a transfer or resale administration fee, and possibly a right of first refusal on resale transactions. We haven't been able to verify the exact figures for this resort, so before you agree a price with a buyer, confirm directly with Bahía Príncipe (or the resort's owners' association) what the current transfer fee is, whether a right of first refusal applies, how long a transfer typically takes to process, and what the current annual maintenance fee is. A resale buyer should also ask exactly what transfers with the week — the usage rights themselves, certainly, but not necessarily any loyalty-style perks or club benefits tied to the original purchase — so it's worth getting this in writing before completing a sale.

What Renters Look For

Renters booking a week here are typically drawn by the all-inclusive, adults-only format and the beachfront setting — they'll want to know the unit size and view, the specific week or dates on offer, and whether the week includes full resort access (restaurants, bars, pools, spa). Being clear about these details in your listing, along with your asking price, helps match you with the right renter faster.

Practical Notes

The nearest major airport is Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport, around an hour's drive from Runaway Bay — worth factoring into transfer plans for renters or buyers travelling in. Jamaica's dry season, December through March, tends to be the most popular stretch for bookings, while hurricane season runs June to November and may affect travel plans. US dollars are widely accepted alongside the Jamaican dollar, which is useful to flag for renters unfamiliar with the island.
