Great Villa, Great Staff
The villa feels very authentic to Jamaica, and pictures are very close to reality. The staff was incredible, bending over backwards to fulfill our needs. Every one was very polite, accomodating and helpful. The included driver and van made our stay so much more enjoyable as we did not have to worry about transportation. The house itself was very well maintained, cleaned daily and grounds maintained. The only negatives: house desciption and pricing did not list the need to tip, until after the booking was completed were we notified of a rather hefty uptick for staff tips. While they deserve every peny as they work really hard, the salalry and or tips should be listed in the advertisment / booking. Also, most of the rooms do not have glass in the windows, just screens and shutters, thus we've experienced some noisy nights when a bar down the street had a big party, in addition, since the house is older, its not well noise insulated, thus noise from the kitchen and creaking staircase traveled thougout. Lastly, the house is rather far from the beach, with the closest free beach about 20 min away. Negative, they charge $7 per bed and same per umbrella, so it can add up quickly. That siad, asaide from the additional tip costs, i would only subtract .5 point from a score of a 10 for all the other minoute issues.
