About Darrell and Sherry

My wife and I built Mais Oui (pronounced 'May Wee') in 1999 and opened officially in 2000. We created Mais Oui to be more than a home away from home. It was designed to be super comfortable and well equipped so that guests would not miss the hotel experience … "Upscale but not uptight" as one guest puts it. As an independent property that has to compete not only with hotels but also gated planned communities, we do this through a host of trained staff and desirable amenities that typically would not be available at a private home. Our previously silent partner, our son, is now growing up and has helped us realize new ways of involving and welcoming children in the Mais Oui vacation experience. One of our core values is to enhance the lives of the Jamaican people. One way we do that is through our commitment to our staff. We have up to about 12 people (depending on the number of guests), some full-time, some part-time, who work with us as a team, to make the Mais Oui experience a reality. We work very hard to have guests stay with us so that we can, in turn, afford to keep our staff employed thereby contributing positively to their lives and the local community.

Why Darrell and Sherry chose Rio Bueno

We're an 'ocean view' location. The Jamaican experience isn't only about the beach. That said, we are a mere 2-3 minute walk from the beach so we also provide that classic experience for our guests as well. Still, Jamaica is so much more than "sun, sea, and sand" or "rum, rasta, reggae and reefer". Rather, it's also about the food, the people and the island experiences which also includes their culture and history. Mais Oui is designed to introduce visitors to the island with a taste of the "true Jamaica", in style and comfort.

What makes this Villa unique

Our uniqueness stems from our commitment to a high quality of service, our focus on the relaxation and well-being of our guests, as well as the fact that we make your awesome vacation our top priority. We want you to tailor your vacation to maximize enjoyment and peaceful, secure relaxation! The Owners and Staff at Mais Oui remain committed to our goal to present an honest and genuine Jamaican experience in a setting of safety and comfort. We are not about flashy photos just to entice travelers and maximize profits by putting heads in beds. We enjoy caring for strangers because we "could be entertaining angels unawares". We like to offer as many amenities as we can so that when our guests decide to venture off-site they do so because of a desire, rather than a need. There are 8 bedrooms. Sleeps 17. Mais Oui is located on the eastern cusp of the Rio Bueno Harbor (named by Christopher Columbus himself) just over the border into Discovery Bay - which is why you may occasionally find us listed as being in Rio Bueno, Jamaica. This is reportedly the freshwater landing site in his most famed journey across the Atlantic to the Americas! Jamaica is an island filled with beauty and history. Its people are vibrant and colorful. Come and experience Jamaica at Mais Oui Tennis and Spa Villa! Our guests say it best: Dear Mais Oui, Thank you so much for the great stay. We had the best week ever. The food was amazing, especially the soups and fresh seafood! Thank you to all the staff here. Dave and Leo were great too. You can really see they care about making guests feel welcome. They went above and beyond staying up late every night to make sure we all made it to bed. The outdoor movie theatre was awesome for a mellow night in. The location is great for quick day trips and the massages were amazing. We truly can’t thank you enough for the memories that we made this week. We will definitely be letting everyone know what a great place Mais Oui is. Jesse - Wrightstown
