About the host

Host profile image
I am a beach lover who is fortunate to manage Siesta, Bahia and Baywatch, adjoining beach properties in Runaway Bay Jamaica. We are happy to share the villas and staff with guests who rave about their stay. Our staff are very important to us as they are to our guests; some staff have been with us for as long as 20 years. It has been a wonderful experience having guests show their appreciation of the property by returning multiple times; in one case 19 times in 20 years. We are excited to meet lovely people from around the world.
