"Horrible customer service. The staff, management, and owner were all arrogant and unprofessional. The overall experience was very disappointing, and I would not recommend this business based on how customers are treated."
"The property is located in a beautiful area along the ocean. However, it is currently under renovation. I stayed there two days and had two issues that affected my stay negatively. Day one the water was off. Day two the electricity was off. The AC unit in my room needs servicing or replacing. The compressor unit on the porch was very noisy and it was not cooling the room."
"The home was authentic Jamaican, gated and secure. I arrived late in the day with an emerging dental emergency. The next morning this required immediate attention. The Hostess Tamara walked with me to a nearby Dental Centre to be successfully treated. As I returned and departed for the International Airport, the host Shane taxied me to the airport for a flat $25 rate as advertised, (airport taxis were asking for $35-$45 for the same transport.)
The hosts were welcoming, attentive and gracious....
"The property was clean The house keeper was curious and helpful. The property is more like a bed and breakfast place in my opinion. It gives a homey vibe. I felt safe there. The breakfast was ok. Most mornings items on the menu were not available the
