“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.

“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

“A relaxing holiday set on a gorgeous bay in Jamaica.” My wife and I throughly enjoyed our stay at Le Mer. The owners, Karin and Coleman were attentive and accommodating throughout our stay. For a reasonable price Karin picked us up at the airport and took us to the Mega Mart in Montego Bay to get supplies for our week long stay. Karin, for a reasonable price also took us into Lucea for a needed stop at the aTM, to beautiful and exciting Mayfield Falls (quite an adventure); Half-moon Bay and our transfer to Negril. Le Mer is ideal for a quiet getaway in a tropical setting. It's location on the ocean is great for snorkelling in the sheltered bay in front of the property. Ocean access is easy with a ladder or you can jump or dive right in! The coral is in good shape and recovering. We saw some smaller fish, octopi and cuttlefish but no bigger fish. There are also two nice beaches at Bull's Bay, a 10 minute walk up the road. You can pick up a cold red strip after your swim at a small shop nearby! This beach is safe and used by friendly locals. The bedrooms are huge and have a private balcony. The ensuite bathrooms have generous amounts of hot water provided form solar energy. Spacious living areas are available and a great place to meet other travellers. The mosaic tiled bar separating the kitchen from the other common areas proved to be a favourite place to sit and chat with new friends. The tables in the dining room are quite unique, look handcrafted and are a comfortable place to dine with a wonderful view of the sunset over the Bay. The large, well kept pool was a favourite spot to catch the morning breeze and a refreshing dip at any time of the day! This place is ideal if you are travelling as a larger group as you could occupy one or both of the two villas. The dogs which provide security are friendly and we enjoyed their company. They are well behaved and can be tethered if you are uncomfortable around them. In summary; great value for the money, a safe, secure environment; at a Beautiful location

“The best vacation ever at the best villa with the best staff” Alan & Reg, We had a fabulous time at Nutmeg! All six of us loved this villa/property. The ocean view was heavenly. All of the bedroom were great, and the master was simply beautiful. The staff was outstanding! We fell in love with all of them; Ms. P, Carlington, Nataleen, Shereen, Andre and Wilton. They were very professional and all were great at their jobs. Ms. P is an excellent chef. We loved each meal! We plan to retun to Nutmeg next year! We wish we could buy this property. I was told that it would be going on the market soon, however, we are sure that it will be too pricey for us. So, for now, we will just have to visit yearly. Thanks so much for all of you assistance, you all were fabulous, too! Sincerely, Rodney & Neshanta Banks Reginald & Belinda Burney Ruben & Pam Tillman
