What a beautiful, blessed, and magical place! We, along with five of our friends, just returned from celebrating my partner's 50th and I'm sure my party would agree that the pictures online don't do The Cliffhouse justice! The only bummer is that we had to leave and did not book a longer stay.
Sidjae, the owner of the property reached out weeks before the trip to make sure that i had everything i needed for our celebration. She had pre-ordered some Prosecco and even face timed me from a local wine shop to purchase some locally made cheese, meats, and chocolate in anticipation that we'd want to toast and celebrate upon arrival! I've never had a property owner go out of their way like that! From way before our actual time at the property to the very end of our trip, Sidjae was kind, extremely communicative, and very helpful.
Oneil, from what I read in the booklet woud've been our driver, however, since there were 7 of us, he had contracted out a driver named Wayne who truly was a key part of our trip. He took us everywhere we needed to go including the best local jerk spot in Green Island called Bigger Beach Road Restaurant. Wherever, we went he was greeted by locals so much that he was like the mayor! He made sure we had fun, learned about the locals and local culture, and stayed safe.
Anjelita warmly welcomed us to the beautiful house with warm towels to freshen up, which I must add was such a thoughtful gesture. She also made sure that the birthday cakes i preordered and had delivered were sorted and safely tucked away in the fridge. Throughout the duration of our stay Anjelita kept the house spotless. We arrived at the property well after 4pm check in and I have to stress that it was SO KIND of both her and Yogi the chef to wait up for us.
What I can say about Yogi is that HE IS A VIBE!!! He cooks from the heart and his food is delicious! We all enjoyed his presence and loved having him around! I highly recommend the Ackee + Saltfish, Callaloo, and fried chicken wings!!!
Yes, the snorkeling in the cove is incredible, the house is gorgeous, and the grounds and the sunsets are breathtaking, but what makes the Cliffhouse majestic are most definitely the people and their good energy. Thank you for your help in making this 50th an epic celebration so much that we all plan to return to the Cliffhouse annually!!!
