This was our first time in Jamaica and because of Serendipity it won't be the last. The property was extremely easy to book. Between Patrick, the owner and Delroy, the host, all our questions were answer promptly.
When we arrived in Jamaica, Delroy was there to pick us up and took us to eat patties since we were hungry from the flight. After eating and doing a little bit of shopping, we drove to the house. The pictures do not do this property justice!!! It was surreal.
There are beautiful views from every point in the home. Each bedroom had a comfy bed, bathroom, built-in closet/drawers, tv, and AC. The entire home was decorated with nice furniture, cultural paintings and other artwork. The pool area was the perfect balance of sun and shade. Our group of 9 had plenty of room and then some.
Serendipity is close to many attractions such as Rose Hall Great House, Rose Hall Beach Club, and the Bioluminescent Bay. We went to all three attractions and took a 90 minute trip to Dunns River Falls in Ocho Rios, a must do while visiting Jamaica.
Last but not least the amazing staff of Serendipity Delroy (host), Miss Iona(chef), Ritchie(butler), Olive (maid), Misty(maid), and our gardener/pool hand. This dream team is like no other!!!! Delroy was our host/driver, he was extremely knowledgeable about the area and which attractions were available and the costs. He was prompt and attentive to all our needs and provided many suggestions that helped us along the way. We would have been lost without him. Miss Iona, or as my group fondly called her Aunty Iona, made all our favorite Jamaican dishes along with some new ones like pumpkin soup, we were all hooked. Ritchie was always there with a refreshing drink both alcoholic or non alcoholic. He set the breakfast and dinner table up so nicely, we all got excited when he started preparing. Misty and Olive, kept the place spotless, beds always freshly made and AC turned on in the bedrooms early evening to enjoy a good night's rest. Also our laundry, freshly lined dried and folded, was waiting by our door each morning. The Gardner, who we seldomly seen, but the grounds always remained in immaculate condition. He also prescribed coconuts with straws after a night of indulging. We now consider the staff a part of our family and are super anxious to get back and visit them.
We will look no further when planning our next trip to Jamaica, Serendipity is our home away from home!
