We absolutely loved staying at Patiently Waiting Villa. It was such a cozy place. The host Chris was amazing. He was very kind, friendly and very attentive to anything we needed during our stay. The beach was a 10 minute walk and the pass was included in our stay at the villa. We would highly recommend staying here and will definitely want to go back. Jamaica is such a beautiful country. The people, the culture made our trip very memorable. We can’t wait to go back.

Overall it was a great stay. The grounds of the property is well maintained with fruit trees such as Bananas, Sour Sop, Mango, Almond, Ackee etc. The pool area is well lit and appears safe. The property is 2mins drive to a secure beach front. I would book this again.

I loved the apartment, the caretaker was great, the pass to the beach is a bonus. The only reason I did not give 5stars was because the pool should be able to be used by all guests on the estate not just the priority of the 3bed villa. I was fortunate that the guests there were allowing me to use it, you still feel a bit awkward as you feel you are intruding. Housekeeping every few days would be a good touch too. That said I had a restful 2 weeks at the apartment. I thoroughly enjoyed my time. The ground surrounding are beautiful. I would return without hesitation and I would recommend the property also.

The caretaker Chris was very nice. He made sure we had everything that we needed. I just would not use the driver Sugar to take me anywhere. Outside of that the visit was lovely.

Patiently waiting in paradise

We go to Jamaica yearly for Reggae Month; this is the longest time I’ve stayed in Jamaica- an entire month. We normally stay in all-inclusive hotels, but this time we wanted to stay longer in a villa for a bit more privacy. Patiently waiting, the villa was everything. we expected and more. Chris, the manager, and Alvin, the owner, were the perfect hosts; we couldn't ask for any more, and the villa was perfect and great value for money.

Beautiful getaway

Great location close to the beach with very well maintained beautiful gardens. We stayed in the studio apartment which is very spacious and had everything we needed to have a little home away from home. The caretaker Chris was there to help with anything we needed and the property manager Alvin was also there during our stay. He was welcoming and agreeable. We enjoyed eating fresh ackee from the trees on the property and spent some time refreshing ourselves in the pool. Only one small caveat, once a new group moved into “the big house” they refused to have anyone else use the communal pool as it is indicated on the site. I think they should learn to read and be aware that this is a shared pool amongst the multiple (5) rooms/apartments on the grounds. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us.

Patiently Waiting

We enjoyed our stay but did not enjoy the hospitality of the host upon "checking in" as it really set a bad vibe from the beginning of a relaxing vacation that we were both looking forward to. The host also told us to cut the air off when not in the room, which is crazy as it takes twice as long to cool it back down. We also had roaches running over my feet when using the bathroom at night, ants were coming through the huge gap under the front door but we never said a word as was more aggravated with the damn pool rules,,, really??? as we were the only ones who even used that pool in the 8 days we were there? Loved the location, loved the young gentleman who took care of the yard as he works very hard to keep it beautiful, but no, we will not be back for another stay at this villa.

Be careful the owner double books the Property

When we arrived at the property at 10pm there was no local number to contact the property manager. We drove up and found a gentleman outside who we discovered was the property manager. We asked him about our room and gound out the room had been booked and provided to someone else. I called the owner in the UK. He said the room was not double booked and was available. The property manager confirmed to us that he is not in charge of the booking and the owner double booked it. It was a nightmare. We tried booking another property but it was late. We eventually got another unit at the same property much smaller than the original one we booked. Plrase stay somewhere else the owner is exceptionally rude. The proprty mamager was pleasant and courteous.
