Further details
Marvin the house manager
The house manager Marvin and his partner Tessa reside at the rear of the property in a self contained apartment. Marvin is justifiably very proud of his lovely gardens and apart from security, which is his other role at the villa, he is always happy to offer his services as chef to ensure your holiday is enjoyed to the full.
Bed and Breakfast Option
Many of our guests prefer to book with breakfast included and at only £5 per head per day and £2 for small children it makes great sense. Marvin is renowned for his cooking and what better way to start the day than with a good hearty Jamaican breakfast served outside on the Pool Terrace. Your party can pre-order a varied weekly breakfast menu by speaking to Marvin when you arrive at the villa.
The Jamaican breakfast menu includes a choice of:-
•Ackee and Salt Fish
•Callaloo and Salt Fish
•Bacon and Callaloo
•Corn Beef
•Brown Stew Chicken
•Liver
•Kidney
•Mackerel Run Down
All served with any of the following:
•Fried Dumpling
•Fried Bammy
•Boiled Green Banana
•Boiled Dumpling and Yam
•Coffee
•Tea
•Orange Juice
•Toast and Butter
An English breakfast menu is also available with, eggs (fried, scrambled, boiled or omelette), baked beans, sausage, tomatoes and toast on offer.
If you would like Marvin to cook the occasional evening meal for you please make a private arrangement directly with him. Marvin will also be happy to organize a jerk party out on the Pool Terrace for you and your guests with a selection of jerk chicken, pork and fish on the menu.
Using the villa for outside parties and Wedding Receptions
The gardens are ideal for outdoor parties and we have previously held a number of small wedding receptions that have been a great success. Whether you would like to have a little get together with old friends you have in Jamaica or use the gardens for a reception we will be happy to help out.
There will be a small but very reasonable charge to use the villa and gardens as a venue when guests wish to invite other friends and family into the grounds for such an event. Part of this fee is paid to Marvin and Tessa for their help with the catering, serving and general tidying up during and after the event.
Maid Service with Tessa
There is a maid service, which is included in the price of your holiday with Tessa coming in once a week (every Monday) to clean throughout the villa and change bedding.
For those guests who want to get away from it all Tessa is also available to do your washing and ironing. For the very reasonable price of only $1000 Jamaican dollars Tessa will wash and iron your clothes to a high standard.
If guests would prefer to do their own washing they can do so when Tessa is on hand to show them how to use the facilities. There is also a wash tub at the rear and an iron and ironing board are provided.
Conditions
£100 deposit per week is required to secure your booking with the balance due 1 month before arrival date.
We also ask for a security deposit of £100 that will be returned to you providing everything is in order when you leave.
This is a self catering holiday but breakfast is also available at an additional cost of only £5 per head per day and £2 for small children.
Payments can be made by paying directly into our UK bank account, the details of which will be supplied to you. We also accept payments via paypal.com where you can make a payment using your debit or credit card but you will be required to pay a commission of 4% to cover paypal fees.

stayed 11 nights in February. it was an amazing experience! the villa was large, spacious clean and tidy. The pool area was lovely! the villa is located in a quiet street and is a short and cheap taxi ride to the town center. The villa manger was very accommodating, always happy to prepare fantastic food for us and drive us to places to ensure we took in the best of what Jamaica had to offer! would definitely stay again, but for much longer! i didn't want to come home! |
