“Affordable, spacious and near luxurious.” Visited Whistling Villa May 16th - 23rd with 4 friends. I chose this villa primarily because of proximity to attractions in Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay. Osburn always responded to my emails within minutes of sending them, which was comforting. I stayed at another property owned by him, and therefore trusted him. General: The villa was almost too large for 5 friends, but we each had our own space. The layout of the villa maximized the space so that the living area was extremely large. It was clean and well decorated but not so much so that you are aware that you're on an island villa; it had a really cozy feeling. Housekeeper: We had a cook!! We begged her to come home with us. Dorothy made everything we asked for and on the days we asked her to surprise us, we had heavenly meals! Breakfast was always prompt and we had breakfast in the outdoor dining area near to the pool. Pool: At the deepest end, the pool was 8ft deep. It was large and with 5 of us in the pool at the same time, we were not crowded. Bedrooms: The bedrooms were large with en suite bathrooms, a small television with cable TV, closet, air condition and dresser. It was clean and cozy. The bed sheets were outdated, but who goes to Jamaica to stay in bed right? Groundskeeper: Chris, who's the grounds man, kept the property clean and most mornings when he woke up to rake the grass, I interrupted him for some chit chat. He's soft spoken and extremely helpful, always asking if we needed anything. Amenities: We celebrated one birthday while there, and needed some music, but the reception on the radio was a bit poor and had static, so walk with many CDs. Wifi was strong in most areas, but weakest in the bedrooms. Appliances were as expected for an island villa.

“Great Family Vacation” Excellent facilities, wonderful staff with extraordinary cook, food exceeded expectations as well as accommodating children's requests. Pool, kayaks and snorkeling gear provided, we took kids fins and goggles. Would not hesitate to return.

“My stay here was heaven on earth.” My stay on this villa was great. Everything I could imagine and more Food was delicious and authentic; not process or frozen. The master suit where I stayed was immaculate. The power shower to the huge jacuzzi bath. The king size bed made my night rest wonderful. It's felt like I was sleeping on clouds. This villa was hard for me to leave, from pool, xbox, board games and a fantastic pool why must I go outside.(lol). When I decided to go outside it was also a great and wonderful experience. I visited duns river falls, when to the hot spot night club margarita ville, oceans 11, and amnesia. We sang karaoke had great Jamaica drinks and watch the beautiful scenery. All these great attraction only 12mins tops from the villa. However my highlight of the stay is the private beach, only 2min walk from the villa. Great vacation I'm booking another stay for January andirons can't wait...

“Great Condo, Great Location” First time we have rented a condo from an owner through FlipKey. Everything from reservation confirmation, payment etc was very smooth. When we arrived on site the outside of the Towers was disappointing, but very common in tropical climates. But all was overlooked when we walked into the suite. So very nice, clean, clean, clean. Lots of room for my husband and I, as well as a daughter. Close to the beach, restaurants, shopping and taxis. The suite had everything you need. Reliable internet, fully equipped kitchen, tv in living room and master bedroom. Millicent met us on arrival and showed us around the suite as well as explained beach access etc. We had a great vacation and would definitely recommend this location. I was also impressed when the owner , Kenita came to say goodbye when we left. It was a pleasure to meet her. We hope to be back one day.

“Awesome Week” My son and I spent a week at Sea Palms. Can't say enough about it; the condo is clean and well maintained. The views of the ocean and sun set are spectacular, and having Miss Rose (the house keeper) cooking meals that made it hard to put down your fork. In the evenings we would sit on the balcony and watch the ocean drinking fresh coconut water and eating fruit we picked up at roadside stands. My son would have bobbed around in the protected cove all week long. All the tropical fish you see snorkeling around in the cove are amazing. There's almost no reason to leave the grounds, but if you do there's plenty to do right near by: Dunn's River, Dolphin Cove, Beaches, shopping down town Ocho Rios. If you're looking for a place where you can slow down to the island pace of life, this is a great spot. You can head out and find something new to do every day or just sit on the private beach and forget about life for a while. Looking forward to going back!!

“Location yes! housekeeping staff no...” Hello, we just came back from a week in Ocho Rios and had a fantastic time. The condo we rented was not in the tower shown in the picture but in the adjacent hotel, which was good too. And yes, location in great. Right next to a nice beach with a pool in the complex. So, as I mentioned, location was great. However, housekeeping left to be desired. We were told that the condo would be cleaned every 2 days, but after 3 days, no one had come to bring fresh towels or toilet paper! We had to call and call to get some service. Also, when we asked for some dishwashing soap, we were told to use either hand soap or soap for clothes. So aside from the little hickups with the housekeeping staff, I would recommend this rental.

“Great Place” My husband and I stayed here a few days to visit family. It was excellent. The view from the balcony was awesome! We could see all of Ocho Rios Bay. The apartment was comfortable and clean. The surrounding property was well kept. We had a view of the one of properties pool and jacuzzi. It was easy walking access to the town for shopping and nightlife. I would definitely stay again and recommend it for couples or families.

“You Promised...You Delivered!” Our group of 18 (13 adults and 5 children) stayed at L’Horizon for a week in January 2015. The entire experience, from booking to the time of the stay, was amazing. The owner, Barrington, was more than helpful and very responsive during the planning phase. And then we arrived! We were greeted by the Manager and staff with smiles, “welcomes”, and rum punch. The house was immaculate and the rooms were very spacious and more than sufficient for our large group. The staff kept the house spotless the entire stay even with 5 young kids doing what they do best (making a mess). The first day, we were provided a cell phone to reach the Manager (Kelly) if there were any issues that needed to be addressed. The cell phone also gave us the opportunity to make local calls which came in handy. We had pre-arranged a formal family dinner (details worked out with Barrington) for the day after our arrival which turned out to be a huge success! The food was amazing and included everything we requested. Each night thereafter we had delicious dinners prepared by the cook (thank you Miss Rose!). We did not purchase the all-inclusive package so we had to purchase our own food which was a bit inconvenient. This was a lesson learned (not the owners fault) and we all agreed that next time, all-inclusive would be the way to go. Regardless, breakfast and dinners were tastily prepared to order. We mostly went out for lunch or brought lunch back to the house. This gave us a chance to go out and see what the area had to offer and try some local foods. We even tried the local KFC which we were told was much different from those in the US. We proved that was true . While we didn’t get an all-inclusive package, inclusive in our package was a personal driver who took us wherever we wanted to go locally. We had the opportunity to go shopping, eat at local seafood and jerk spots (yummy), visit the Dunn’s River Falls (a must-do), and our “party group” even got driven to local dance clubs and picked up at 2:30 and 3:30 in the morning! On the nights we stayed in, we hung out at the Jam Eng Bar on the property by the pool, danced, and sang! The bartender was amazing and tons of fun! As for the younger kids, they lived in the pool and had an amazing time. When they were not in the pool, the private beach was only a quick 5-minute walk away. But let’s not forget the older crowd. My mom, aunt, and mother-in-law spent their days relaxing poolside and around the house (so many places to relax) chatting it up with the staff that were all so very friendly. The entire family agreed that this was one of their best vacations ever! We’ve even talked about the next time we’ll vacation at L’Horizon. A special thank you to Barrington and his wonderful staff at L’Horizon for making this vacation one of the best my family has ever had! For us, you more than delivered on your promises!!

“Wow!!” Dave, the Villa bus driver, picked us up at a local hotel where we had spent the previous night. The trip from Montego Bay to Mais Oui took a little over an hour but we did have one stop at a grocery for snacks and drinks. Dave was available the entire week and his advice on day trips and what to see was really appreciated. Upon arrival at the Villa we were greeted by Miss Ruby and the entire staff that presented us with cool towels and rum punch. We got a quick tour of the property while our luggage was unloaded and placed in the appropriate rooms. We were a group of 11 adults--all family and close friends. The Villa was spotless and all the items that we had requested in advance were on site for our arrival. This included the first two days' food and drinks. Arrangements for the food and drinks had been made with a local grocery where the Villa can charge and get delivery. The items were a bit pricy but for the convenience of having everything on site at arrival it is worth a little extra. On Tuesday Chef Arthur and I shopped at a large grocery store in Ocho Rios and purchased food for the remainder of our stay. Prices at this store were excellent as was the selection of food available. Our week at Mais Oui was exceptional. The staff was superb. Miss Ruby, the manager, was always available if we had questions or needs. Audrey and Janice kept the Villa in immaculate condition with fresh linens and towels daily in each room as well as fresh towels for the pool and beach as needed. Max kept the pool and grounds spotless and made sure the hot tub was ready as requested. Paul was always on hand also to serve our meals and get anything our group needed. A security guard was on site from dusk to dawn. Everyone in the group enjoyed "spa" day on Wednesday when massages were provided for our entire group. These were done by therapists whom the Villa arranged to have on site that day at an additional charge. The pool area is wonderful as it provides areas of shade, partial sun and full sun depending on how you locate your loungers. The pool is not heated but very refreshing when cooling off from the warm sun. We were a little saddened that the tennis court was in need of some repair but we were still able to use the court just not play competitively. The food at the Villa has to be considered a high point. Chef Arthur is a wonderful cook and prepared some of the finest meals we have enjoyed. He took the menu we had arranged and prepared almost everything we had requested. He asked permission to vary some dishes to give us a little more flavor of Jamaica and everyone agreed his selections were first rate. He is preparing a cook book with all his recipes and we look forward to getting a copy!! Overall, we felt like we were treated like members of the Mais Oui family. There were plenty of tears when on our last morning we were serenaded by the entire staff. Totally unexpected was a call from the Villa owner to see how our vacation was progressing and if all our needs were being met.
