“Being in Paradise” The Villa was more than I could have Dreamed!! My friends and I decided to take a trip and then experience was breathe taking. The staff made us feel like Kings and Queens and it was AMAZING. I highly recommend if travel with a large group!

“A vacation like no other” We were greeted at the airport by Norman, the most professional driver ever, he made our transition smooth and for a group of 12 adults, that is tough! He had thought of everything - including bringing a second van for our luggage! The staff at the villa greeted us at the door with warm smiles and cool towels, they made sure all our luggage was safely delivered to our rooms and then the fun began! We all stopped and stared at the huge view of the Caribbean Sea spread out in front of us, the breeze, the way the rooms are laid out and the villa itself takes total advantage of that view. We quickly changed, and began the most perfect seven days of nothing but relaxing, laughing and eating punctuated by an occasional sightseeing trip. Derek, the butler completely made the trip, he was attentive, but quiet, helpful but never intrusive - he made us feel so special. Ruby, the cook gave us gormet meals three times a day. We discussed our likes and dislikes the first day and she made it all happen. We did not need to go out to dinner and the one night we went to a lovely restaurant in town, we all agreed that we could have stayed home and eaten at Restaurant Ruby for an even better meal. It is tough to please 12 distinct people, but the staff and managment at Serendipity did just that, from organizing the most incredible massage at the villa, to driving us to out of the way Mayfield Falls, they never stopped working. All the rooms were large and private, we never felt on top of one another, we ate meals in different places, by the pool, in the dining room, on the deck, where ever we felt inspired to eat that day, Derek made it happen. I do not have one bad thing to say - I loved every minute, and would recommend Serendipity to a group like us, a large family, or just a few people that want to get away - It was truly a vacation to remember.

“Beautiful apartment - Can Not Wait to Come Back” Lovely stay! Really clean apartment great for 2. Store downstairs was so easy to get groceries to make lunch. Alyssa made it into a kingsize bed for us last minute, and she was great arranging a driver to drop us at the airport for our 9am flight. Very cool location, we woke up every morning and walked right across the street to the beach. (Theres a free local beach if you keep walking to the left, but Docs Cave was worth the 5 bucks) Best part is everything you need you can walk to. The building is old but the apartment made up for it- we saw a couple others with their doors open and we felt lucky to get an updated one. And we got beach towels provided. Cant wait to go back. Thanks alyssa

“Just wow!” Very pleasantly surprised with the modern conveniences and comfort of this home in paradise. The location was central and easy to find. This will definitely be the way to spend vacations as opposed to a resort. Very relaxing. Well taken care of grounds and pool. Highly recommend.

“A great place to stay!” We spent three wonderful days at alyssa's Condo in the heart of Montego Bay. It is in a quiet, gated community, with a 1 minute walk to Doctor's Cave beach. What more could you ask for? The condo is clean, and everything stated in her description is accurate. Alyssa is easily contacted and has a very pleasant demeanor. When we left her condo to continue the rest of our vacation in another parish, an iphone was left behind. Alyssa immediately contacted her cleaning lady and the iphone was left with the reception. We picked up the iphone 4 days later. Thank you alyssa for being so accommodating and we would definitely like to stay with you again on our next visit. Highly recommended!!

“Great place to stay!” I stayed here with my boyfriend this past week and we really enjoyed Point Village and the studio Domingos rented to us! The studio itself has a working stove, fridge, tv, air conditioner, and fan (plus wifi if you ask). Point Village is great because it is at the start of the 7 mile beach and is on private property so you will not be bothered on the beach, or anywhere else. It is quieter than what I saw of the rest of 7 mile beach and certainly more secluded. You can easily walk down the beach to a number of restaurants or bars or hop in a taxi to take to the west end. Personally, I loved it because it felt more like a community and home than any of the hotels we could have stayed at. Domingos was also a very gracious host who was always available and very willing to provide help and advice, or a drink! Nevertheless, it is a used-to-be resort that went bankrupt a couple of years ago so some parts of it are not that well maintained. If you are the type of person who loves or needs to stay at an all-inclusive resort this may not be the best fit for you. Another thing to keep in mind is it is next door to hedonism (a resort for mostly middle-aged nudes) and so on some parts of the property you can hear their music playing late at night (but for the most part it is very quiet). Regardless, I would certainly stay here, or in any of the other apartments in Point Village, the next time I visit.

“awesome” arrived at seacastle with a few friends for a girls weekend. The condo was nice,clean and very spacious. Everything was ready when we got there and the owner very courteous and even helped us with an extra night when we missed our flight.the hotel next door had a great bar and we enjoyed our stay very much. I would definitely recommend seacastle for a great relaxation trip

“Fantastic get-away outside of Negril proper” The Retreat Plantation House is a picturesque villa in "Retreat", Westmoreland Parish, situated on a hillside overlooking acres of sugar cane fields on what is a still operational plantation. Although at times the tranquil surroundings may transport you to another century, the villa is newly refurbished and replete with the necessities of modern living. The three bedrooms easily accommodate 7, and our large group of 9 was quite comfortable throughout our stay. If you are looking for a respite from the gauche touristy atmosphere of the all-inclusive resorts on 7 mile, then Retreat is ready to oblige with a more relaxed, authentic, local Jamaican feel. If your vacation contemplates forays into town and the beach, then Retreat is also well suited (it's a 15-20 min. cab ride to the action, at about $2 USD per person, day rate. Renting a car is also feasible).

“Heaven on EARTH!!!!” After reading numerous reviews I went into this rental with a very open mind especially after such positive interactions with the owners Kevin & Lisa. They communicated effectively regarding any and all transactions, support while staying there, as well as overall feedback needed at any timeframe. Upon arrival Dale was awesome as well as security which was above and beyond and helpful. The property itself left me speechless. There are updates throughout and I never felt that I lacked anything that any resort had to offer ; in fact there were more amenities; i.e. washer/dryer, surplus of dishes, numerous satellite channels, SONY IPOD, overall comfortable home setting. The residential area was quiet, peaceful and the beach amazing. The condo was stocked with more than enough linens & towels and I have never felt so much at "home" away from "home". Cabs are plentiful and it is about a 5-10 minute to town etc. but if you truly want to relax, avoid the busy day/nightlife escape to this rental and then venture out for the above. You have my word you will NOT be disappointed. I am definitely looking into renting again and I will also post pictures as well as video on my YouTube page: C Dioume
