An Absolute Gem!

I can't say enough about what an amazing find this place was! My girlfriend and I stayed here with another couple and we all loved it. The house itself is pristine and the grounds are extremely well kept. It has everything you could need and the staff members are all professional, friendly, and capable. I have to give a special shout-out to Miss Donna who prepared all the delicious Jamaican dishes we requested in advance as well as a few that we thought of last minute (her mackerel rundown is some of the best I've ever had). The view is difficult to overstate and the pictures really do not do it justice! The seaside is down just a short flight of stairs and is lovely for swimming and wading. I am already dreaming about my next visit to Bougan Blu!

Life made simple

Everything was easy and wonderful! Winnie was the house manager and she was very quick to respond and helpful. Donna was our incredible chef and a definite highlight of our whole experience. She prepared Jamaican and some American food to perfection. We left dinner to her and it was always outstanding even to some picky eaters. My adult kids and baby grandson scored her as well! She was able to answer or get the answer to all our questions including medical attention for a sick baby. Can’t say enough wonderful things about Donna. The security-Nicole and Jason were also outstanding, kind and attentive. The whole stay was tremendous we even asked them to join us for Christmas dinner! We plan to return thanks to them!

It was a wonderful vacation on the cliff

We had a wonderful time at BouganBlu. It is a chamring home with vibrant colours inside and out and with modern amenities. The pictures do not lie. What you see is what you get... namely, breathtaking views and comfortable surroundings, that made our stay so relaxing. The pool was super clean and was cleaned several times during our stay. The bedrooms were large and and the beds and bedding comfy. The showers in the two master bedrooms were huge and great. The walk down to the sea was short and easy. Donna was fantastic. She took great care of us and her cooking was on point. We brought our own groceries and menus and she cooked up everything we asked well. She was super attentive to any special requests we had or special needs required. We always felt safe as there was 24hr security who would say hello but would avoid making their presence impact our vacation. All and all, we had a great time at this villa and we would stay again.

We would return!

My family really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is airy and well-appointed. We lacked for nothing, and on the off chance that we needed anything, the staff members were more than accommodating. The ambience here was very nice, and we loved the views and scenery. We would absolutely consider returning.
