Charming Villa Overlooking the Ocean 4 Great Golf Courses

Magnificent villa, very large well furnished and with every comfort. Staff very discreet but always present. We were not used to having service staff so at the beginning we were a bit embarrassed but after a while we felt comfortable. The air conditioning only in one room, but honestly not needed, it was very windy and cool at night.

The only problem, that it's 15 km far from the city or anything like super market and we could not move as if we were in the city, but it was also a plus because it was very quiet and safe. If you have to move, take a fixed driver like us.

Definitely recommended!

Our family took our first trip to Jamaica as a Christmas present this year and stayed at this villa. The staff made us feel at home immediately and were excellent. Our cook prepared fantastic meals for us each day and never disappointed. Cassie kept the villa immaculate and was always cheerful. Newman, our driver was excellent also, he knew exactly where to take us and advised us on what to see. Highly recommend this location for family or friends getaway.

Our family had been looking forward to our trip to Skibbereen for over five months. What was it going to be like? Pictures tell part of the story but people and experiences tell the real tale.

Upon arrival in Montego Bay we were met by Newman, our driver for the vacation. He greeted us warmly and took us on the brief trip to Skibbereen. Newman proved to be an invaluable individual for our Jamaican experience.

Arriving at Skibbereen we were greeted by the staff and after a quick look at the property we were directed to our accommodations. Rooms were spacious and took full advantage of the tropical surroundings. It immediately became apparent that the staff was going to make our stay one we would never forget. Talk about pampered! - meals prepared at our request, linens and bedding tended to daily, laundry service to ensure clean and pressed clothes, along with a pool and grounds that were sparkling clean.

Baygie, the cook, Cassie the housekeeper, Steven the "all around" man and Donna, the laundress, were key to our vacation being utterly relaxing. Baygie prepared meals based on our requests, local favorites or whatever we selected. Meals that stood out were lobster omelets and fish dishes - barracuda and red snapper! But it was not just the food and pampering that made Skibereen special. It was the quality of the people mentioned. Always smiling faces, accommodating our requests and wanting US to be satisfied.

The setting at Skibbereen is perfect for a secluded vacation. There were nine of us (all family)in our group, but the setting was quiet and peaceful. The villa is in a secure community, surrounded by beautiful tropical vegetation but allowing a glimpse of the Caribbean Sea over the treetops. Our family enjoyed the shuffle board court, located adjacent to the pool, and we had a lot of fun conducting an on-going tournament that no doubt broke all rules but was immensely enjoyable and fun. The volleyball court (on site) was very popular with the younger members of the group and of course the pool was heaven for all.

As mentioned earlier, Newman, the driver, added a positive element to our vacation. Not only did he drive us where we wanted (or needed) to go - bank, shopping, beaches, sightseeing - but he added that positive "no problem, mon" Jamaican attitude. He was both a tour guide and friend.

In closing, this trip exceeded expectations. The villa's beauty and the quality of its staff

were outstanding.

We stayed here for our annual girls trip. This place was truly beautiful and amazing. The convenience of having your own pool was great. It was four of us and we how the bedrooms are set up we each had our own space. I had the pleasure of staying in the master and it was true luxury. The outside shower was rejuvenating and the space in all the showers was great. The place is very clean but a little dated. The roof in the garden shower needs to be repaired there is a slit that lets bugs in. There is not air conditioning in all the rooms just the master so during the day the other rooms can be miserably hot. Every one was running to my room for cover!! The staff is amazing. Miss Cassie is so sweet!! Everyday our beds were turned down and made. Rooms cleaned everyday. Steve cleaned the pool before we woke up and after we went to bed plus served all our meals. Chef made his lobster omelet and pineapple upside down cake which was delicious. The guava jelly, mangos and bammee were some of my favorites. Donna washed our clothes daily which was refreshing to not have to travel back home with dirty clothes. The owner Virginia and property manager Mrs. Bailey were great making sure they responded quickly and solving any complications. I would definitely recommend this villa and we will definitely be back next year.

Beautiful property, classically constructed with artistic flair, atop lushly covered hills that view the ocean and catch its breezes. The staff provides fantastically warm, friendly, professional service that has been lost in the more modern establishments that I've vacationed at much higher expense. I had opportunity to experience the service and accommodations of a highly touted resort during this same trip, was welcomed to remain at the resort by friends and family, but gladly chose to come back "home" to Skibereen. Highly recommend for family, couples, small groups.
