To be clear, this is not a 5 star resort, but does provide a 5 star experience, and great value for your spend. To summarize:Connections - flawless. You call the driver by cell (or text) when you clear customs, and he's there almost immediately to pick you up. Think twice if you plan to rent a vehicle; the roads in many locations are terrible. It's about a 2 1/2 drive from the airport to Villa.Accommodations - the Villa itself is a little tired. Reminded us of a well used rental cottage. But overall everything one needs. The deep pool was great , and we were in every day. The wonderful large covered deck is where we spent the vast majority of our time. Beware though that there is quite a steep path and steep steps to access the villa, and not great for the mobility challenged.Staff - pool cleaning and housekeeping were OK. The chef/manager was outstanding. We had many long conversations about the Jamaican culture, and he was great in preparing the meals. The owner was really easy to converse with, and answered all our questions upfront.Safety - the Villa has sliding latches to secure the doors overnight, as well as key code locks to secure the premises. We found the Jamaican people to be extremely friendly, and we felt totally safe at all times, both in the Villa and our trips outside.Value - excellent. This may not work for everyone, but it worked for us!

This is a great vacation spot if you want to relax!! It’s a perfect setting to get away. Special thank you to Shane for making it a memorable experience. He prepared world class dinners with local flavors. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in planning day trips to black river by boat with a few stops to include pelican bar and a local crab shack on the river. He recommended YS falls for a day trip, beautiful! We did leave the villa to grab lunch at Jack sparrows and spend some time with the locals at treasure beach. The home is dated but has all the amenities. Mark the owner was also very responsive before the trip to finalize any questions. The housekeeper and gardener were there every morning working efficiently and gave great conversation . Thank you for a wonderful Jamaican experience

An absolute escape from reality. Property was great it was a hidden gem views where amazing Shane the property manager is excellent use him he is very knowledgeable of the area. And is awesome chef cooked breakfast everyday it was excellent “tip him well” only issue was beach and road leading too property Gve it strong 8/10 SHANE is why it’s so high

The property is absolutely stunning. Beautiful landscaping, beautiful private beach. It would have been nice to know ahead of time we would be nickel and dimed for everything. I was not happy we spent so much to stay at the villa and had to provide all of our basic living needs. We had to purchase our own toilet paper, ($4 a roll by the way), dish soap and sponges for the cook, household cleaning goods for the cleaning lady, paper towels, even our drinking water. We had to go grocery shopping every 3 days which cost the two of us $170 a trip including $20 to the driver. We tried to talk the cook into not getting so much food so we could save our money for excursions, but this seemed to be an inconvenience for him so our hands were tied. The beds in the bedrooms were so uncomfortable it stated effecting our trip. We would wake up in so much pain because of it. Our trip was supposed to be 10 days but because of American Airlines messing my wife's flights up our trip was cut short by 5 days. It would have been great to receive a partial refund for the villa, but as it was the airlines fault and not the property's fault I do not see this happening. Minus the negative feedback I provided, it was a great experience overall. Playing on the beach, swimming in the ocean, etc.
