Amazing, no notes!
Pattoo Castle hosted myself and 14 friends for my wedding weekend, and we also had the wedding on site. The house is even better then the pictures, each room is beautifully done and our guests were wowed. Gary was a pleasure to work with, he accommodated us during several site visits and responded to all of our communications promptly. The natural beautiful of Pattoo barely needed any decor to shine on the day our our wedding. The staff was amazing- we cannot recommend the housekeeping and chef enough. We feel so lucky to have found this location and grateful to the Pattoo team!

Best time we’ve ever had
I don’t know where to begin. We had a bachelor/bachelorette trip here turned surprise wedding. Pictures and words do this place no justice, it’s truly magical. Gary and his team were amazing and felt like family by the time we left. There is nothing Patrick won’t do to make your stay the best. Janice and Michaels cooking was better than any restaurant. Michael also is a gem to talk and be around. Carol kept our rooms spotless and helped with all of our laundry. Lewis and Darren were our security and had the best convos. This castle has a special place in our hearts and we will definitely be back!!

Wedding At Pattoo
Communication with Gary and on site staff was superb from point of booking & throughout. They work so hard to keep the place looking pristine, much kudos to them all. Amazing venue as a holiday home. Made even more special with the ability to host a picture perfect wedding. Will not disappoint! We will be back.

Magical experience
We stayed here for 4 nights as part of our wedding and it was the most incredible experience. Gary is a fantastic host, Janice was such a great housekeeper and chef that we wanted to take her home with us! Everyone had a really great time, all of our asks were accommodated and we just couldn't have asked for anything more from Pattoo and all the staff. Thank you for making sure that we created memories to last a lifetime ❤️

Just WOW!
I can’t say enough positives about Pattoo Castle and the overall experience our group of 15 had. Gary the owner is extremely responsive to any of your questions and responds immediately. The staff at Pattoo Castle is phenomenal- from Janice , Michael (chefs) Patrick (overall healer), OKeefe (security) to housekeepers and grounds keeper. By the end of the week the staff felt like family to us. They truly cared about us and our needs. They gave us advice on excursions, arranged transport and provided transportation themselves (Michael). I have never stayed anywhere before with such amazing staff. The castle itself is hard to put into words. It is a fabulous place. It provided everything we needed. Numerous nooks and private places to sit and relax- you never felt on top of each other.- definitely an open air feel. Gorgeous sunsets every night. You will not be disappointed. Numerous restaurants within walking distance or short drive. Some restaurants mom and pop places others bigger names- ie Rick’s cafe. If this is one of your choices- book it!

Beautiful Vistas, Unmatched Memories
Pattoo Castle is an amazing property with the caring staff to match. My partner and I brought our family together for a small getaway and intimate ceremony at the castle. We loved how no matter in a room or outside the vistas are unmatched. We hope to return in years to come to enjoy anniversaries at Pattoo. One love & family vibes formed by the beauty of the location and the kindness of Patrick, Carol, Michael, Janice, Okeefe & Gary the Pattoo staff.

Most amazing staff and location
Pattoo castle does not disappoint! It is actually better than the pictures, jaw dropping beautiful location. Everything was just as described and even better (we didn’t think the master had ac and it did) . Miss Janice and her son Michael cooked us dinner three nights in a row and one big breakfast the morning of the wedding and everyone loved the food. Patrick was so extremely helpful and kind, housekeepers worked quietly behind the screens to keep our rooms looking great and common spaces cleaned up as we had lots of foot traffic bringing in mud when it rained. I can’t express how grateful I am to have found this place and booked it. The memories of this place will last a lifetime

Above and beyond our expectations
Pattoo Castle left us speechless. As soon as we drove onto the property our mouths dropped. The pictures don’t do this place justice, it is stunning. Exceptionally clean and architecturally beautiful. On top of that, all of the Pattoo team, Janice & Mike (5 star chefs), Patrick, Carol, and Gary made us feel like family. We got married here, and it was everything we could’ve dreamed of and so much more. Thank you for making magic happen Pattoo team. We can’t wait to visit again next year.

Outstanding!!!
When I tell you, I am extremely grateful for, 1st the owner Gary. He communicated what ever information he had available, regarding covid testing, excursions and guidelines on what to expect, due to covid. The outstanding Staff of the Pattoo Castle!!! The Cook (Janice) as well as her son Michael. Every dish was outstanding!!! She cooked us three meals a day, ( breakfast, lunch and dinner). The pictures really doesn't do this Castle any justice!!! We were a party of 16 and we all really had a fabulous time!! I'm looking forward to our yearly experience already!!! 🥰🥰💪🏽💯❤

Christmas in a Castle
Exceeded my expectations, which were already super high. The castle is incredible. The staff are wonderful warm hearted loving and caring people. They became extended family by the end of our one week stay. Janice was a remarkable chef, assisted by her lovely sister Charlene. Patrick helped us with getting our crazy floating island inflated and anchored to be able to chill on the water while others were jumping off the cliffs from varying heights. Carol kept the rooms spotless and Richard was there each night to make us feel safe and secure. The bedrooms are HUGE and most have sitting areas and all have en-suite bathrooms. LOTS of stairs. Those on the upper most floor bedrooms are rewarded for their daily climb with incredible daily sunset views. Note that the house faces North to the sea, with the wall from adjacent Samsara Cliff Resort to your west. So tough to get sunset views from the lower floors. There is a second kitchen up top which I suggest you stock with refreshments for daily sunset cocktails. It never gets old. Directly across the street is a small bodega-type minimart where you can buy water, beer, snacks, etc. and a second one is 100 yards out and to the left. If you are brave you can take long walks along the narrow two lane cliff road in daytime only (so you don't get hit from drivers unable to see you at night) to walk to other cliff resorts including Ricks Cafe. Or the other direction to town. Pool was not heated. But was not freezing by any means. It was a welcome rinse off of salt water after cliff jumping. The grounds are beautiful. Views in every direction from anywhere you stand inside or outside are just stunning. A very relaxing place. They provide a large speaker that is Bluetooth compatible which made it super easy to play Spotify from my iPhone. Finally I will close on Gary, the owner. I booked almost one full year in advance for Christmas week. No holiday week premium - which was a rarity. Gary was patient in answering my many questions over the months before our arrival. He helped arrange a sunset catamaran and our minibus transfers to and from airport. He was responsive via WhatsApp while on island. It was easy to send him money via Zelle in advance to fund food and booze to be stocked for our arrival and to pay for chef fees and staff gratuities, meaning less cash to bring with me. Tough to be back at work in NYC. Missing Pattoo.

Loved it!
We had an amazing stay at the castle and in Jamaica in general! I highly recommend staying here if you are traveling with a group! It has amazing views and snorkeling (bring a mask!!) and is in walking distance of several great restaurants and shops! There’s even a market right across the street that has most of the items you’ll need for your stay. Patrick, the property caretaker will take care of everything without you even asking! He just knows exactly what you need- He is amazing!! When we left the staff had definitely become our friends and even checked to make sure we made it home safe!❤️ We actually had our wedding here and it was everything we dreamed it would be!

Amazing wedding weekend at Pattoo
We were fortunate to have our wedding at Pattoo and spend the weekend staying the castle with our families. We all really enjoyed our stay. The castle is beautifully kept and each and every room is nice. The staff is friendly and helpful. There’s a daily housekeeper as well as the security outside at night. Gary is a great host, very responsive and accommodating. Easy location in the West End road in Negril. There’s good local food and a convenience store across the street, otherwise there are taxis frequently driving by that can take you around the area. Thank you Pattoo Castle for the great memories.

Pattoo Perfection!
At the time that we made the reservation there were no reviews of the property and just a few photos. I was a bit worried that the place would not be large enough for our group of 5 families with a total of nine children and 11 adults. My concern was that we wouldn't have enough room to spread out and we would be on top each other for a week. When we arrived at the front gate and the wide stair case welcomed us, I knew we were about to be surprised. Once in the door we were blown away by the scale, the space and the design. We loved the contrast of the white, the wood and the stone with modern finishes. Everything was very minimal and tasteful, letting the architecture and the landscape shine through. 3 complete floors of total wow factor! We spent our sunsets on the roof top with rum and Tings. During the day we spread out on the balconies of the castle, the verandah by the pool and the perches on the cliffs over looking the blues of the sea. We jumped off the cliffs and snorkeled directly from the house. The Staff was wonderful and welcoming and took care of us as if we were family. Janice and Coral cooked and shopped for us. Janice's jerk chicken was some of the best ever! Patrick was a savior cleaning the kitchen for us and set our girls up with an in house hair braiding session. I just can't express how much we appreciated them and how fully taken care of we felt. The location of the house was perfect for venturing out. We walked to Rock House a couple times and the guys took taxi's all over. Gary was a great communicator and took care of setting everything up including transport to and from the airport. He has curated a wonderful experience for his guests. It was one of the best vacations ever! Truly Magical. We all want to go back--pronto! Thank you! Much love and respect to our friends at Pattoo Castle.
