10/10 Excellent
"Loved the vegetable gardens, the friendly staff and our spacious clean room with our very private balcony. Good food and lovely grounds as well as seeing the resident peacock at meals made our stay very special. So happy not to be at one of those 5star all inclusives."
"The resort is a wonderful and reasonably priced place to stay. It shines in its family friendly atmosphere, bar none service, nanny care, and staff who are genuinely kind and attentive to your needs. Part of the physical plant was destroyed by the hurricane late October, which further added to its slightly tired state, the rooms were immaculate and was serviceable for our needs. The kids loved the water slides, the ever available ice cream and drinks, the pool, the beach and the entertainment and local excursions offered by the resort. Also its size made it easy to let the kids run free without worrying about their safety or them getting lost. We will miss the staff’s kindness!"
"Everything was great the staff extra great. The amenities was great for the price of the place and it is so beautiful peaceful and quiet. Very cozy and comfortable. It is a place where you can have wedding reception party with friends or just a quiet spot for you and your partner. I will be going back there soon I love this place and it's not too far for the beach within walking distance and if you don't feel like walking the taxi stand is right around the corner and you can get to the beach less than five mins. Food places all around and if you drink bars and night clubs are all around as well. This is a great spot don't wait Book Your Trip Now!"
"The address listed for this property is not correct. The room had the electrical panel off, exposing the wires. The room was not cleaned at all. The amenities list was not available, the entire property is rundown and not safe, considering this is a property dedicated to families. I spoke with the owner of the property and he was extremely unprofessional."
"Staff was fantastic; truly a joy to have them around.
Property was good for the price, although slightly damaged due to a recent hurricane. (Hot water didn't work until the last day I was there, but it's fixed now.)
Area around the villa is pretty much "other villas" - you'll need either to rent a car, take a taxi, or walk down to the gas station to catch the bus if you want to get so the local tourist attractions.
The complimentary breakfast was also excellent - traditional Jamaican cuisine (boiled plantains, potatoes, saltfish, sausage, dumplings, etc.) cooked really well. Dinner was extra ($10/person), but also consistently good. While I ate as much jerk chicken as I could throughout the day, I didn't feel any real need to try OTHER places, as the villa food was more than sufficient.
This is very much a villa to stay at if you want go get away from crowds and stereotypical touristy locations."

"The property has great potential. Staff was very polite and helpful. Property changed owners very recently so I can understand the transition. It was a pleasant experience overall."
