This property took our breath away! We were a group of 7 - 2 adults and 5 teen kids - vacationing in Jamaica for the first time. This villa was absolutely perfect for allowing the adults and children the ability to spread out and not be in each other's way but also be able to join together in the magnificent pool, lovely beach and for each meal. I am afraid that this review will not even do it justice but I will point out some of the highlights that make this such a special place...
1. Location in Jamaica is very tranquil and quiet - not touristy at all. The area is known for that laid back Jamaican vibe.
2. Perfect place to literally unwind and do NOTHING. If that is your idea of the best kind of vacay... then this is your spot. You can certainly sign up for excursions, but please note that everything is at least 1 1/2 hours van ride away at minimum.
3. This villa has multiple places to lounge both inside and out to allow you to find that "perfect spot" to read, sunbathe, nap and enjoy your drinks.
4. STAFF, STAFF, STAFF.... Bev, Donna, Randy, Phillip, and Carlton exceeded all of our expectations daily. They are friendly and attentive but never in your way. They made delicious meals (even for some very picky teens), wonderful rum drinks, washed our clothes and made our beds every single day. They pampered us and allowed us to truly relax and take away the stresses of "where does everyone want to go eat tonight?".
5. This villa is ON the beach. In fact, it is pretty much your own private beach as we only saw maybe 3-5 people a day in our area. The water is beautiful with fun waves to boogie board and play in. It is not a great snorkelling spot so for those that that is super important, I would just be aware.
6. There are numerous non-water things to do at the villa as well... many books on the bookshelf, movies, board games, large jenga blocks, life-size connect four game, and ping pong.
7. Wi-fi is great in the living area but who wants to be on their phones when they can enjoy the sunshine?
8. Bring cash.... in fact, I would bring twice as much as you think as there is literally no one that takes credit cards other than in Montego Bay. You will need to pay the staff in cash for your groceries and alcohol. You will need cash to tip the staff. You will need cash for your van ride to and from the villa. And you will need cash for most every excursion except for the big places like YS Falls. Cash is king in Jamaica.
