Response from the owner Dear Damon, We are very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us and you were not happy with our check in process. All guests are required to complete our guest registration form along with a Valid identification preferably passports for ALL guests staying with you. First let me say that we DO NOT HAVE 4 ROOMS. Our 1 room and 2 apartments listed online have pictures and list of amenities for you to make your selection when you make your booking online which are quite clear. Each apartment and the deluxe room have separate listings online. Only our double deluxe room is listed online. The room with the king bed is not listed online. This means that you had booked our double deluxe room. Our guest registration form DOES NOT ask for our guests social security number, never will nor will we ever ask for it. Also, no guests are privy to other guests information. These are private and are never shared. We require all our guest to complete our form for security purposes and also to validate the information that you gave to us at the time of making your reservation This is to ensure that the guest arriving is the person booked for the assigned room and/or apartment. Thanks for the compliment for the pictures. We appreciate it very much. The Deluxe Double room pictures were taken by my teenage son, Dillon Lue Yen. Photo credits for the apartments go to Tiffy Lue Yen and Alexander Chin xref Jamaica Observer and Google - Lisa

“"Reservation" meaningless here”

Response from the owner It is with great regret we find that you were disappointed in your reservations being cancelled. We always accommodate all our guests to the maximum ensuring that they have an unforgettable stay. As a result of guests that no-show, we normally contact our guests one week prior to their arrival time to re-confirm. However, we tried to contact both you and Flipkey from as early as October 31 but got no response. Unfortunately, your contact phone number as well as your email address that was given were not working. In the event that we are fully booked, we make alternative arrangements with another guest house/B&B to ensure that our guests have accommodations. Again, we sincerely apologize for the miss communications and hope that you enjoyed your stay in Jamaica.
