To receive a 5, you have to be perfect. This villa was almost there. We spent 9 days, with a beautiful semi private pool. There are 4 other one bedroom cottages at the villa compound, however we stayed at the big house, and had the pool directly at out back door of the glassed in sunroom. We only saw one other couple for 2hrs use the pool besides us. Chris the caretaker (a very fun and caring guy) cleans the pool every morning early and asked us twice a day if the pool way okay. It was crystal clear, and it's 6' at the deep end which is great I hate shallow pools. The grounds were very nice as the gardener trimmed and cut and worked in the yard everyday. There is a housekeeper "pimpim" very nice lady, and she will come in and clean and do linen changes each day if you need her. There is a guy that comes on Friday at 10am with a truck of fresh fruit and veggies. I told him he should come by on Saturday evening or Monday as people could shop then. If you need him, ask Chris. There is a chef, named Cleary. For $30.00 a day US. He will prepare all meals, Breakfast, lunch& dinner. And wash all the pots and pans. You can buy the food or give him cash to shop with. His food was delicious. You defiantly need to treat yourself. Right next to the villa is the hotel riu. If you want all inclusive, the come up with a menu before you travel, hit a grocery store about and have Cleavy cook all day, and ask pimpim if she would do the dishes for a fee or tip. You would still be $$ ahead. The negavites I have are few 2 rooms had a noisy ceiling fan, you have to bring your own toilet paper, paper towels. There are no kitchen towels, hot pads, linens. There are just enough dishes for eight people, there needs to be extra glasses, Tupperware containers for storage of food, more utensils, measuring cups, spices, more bowls, the kitchen was clean but dated, the house is very clean but dated, but very very relaxing!!. Lots of chairs. For small groceries go to the new boots 1/4 mile east. For bulk groceries go to progressive in Ocho rios. For a nice family run dive shop contact Maureen at Garfield, on the beach in Ocho. Rios. Oh the bamboo blue beach club is really on 4min walk away from the house we timed it. Nice beach but shallow, if you want deeper, either walk over to riu's, or go into Ocho rios and pay $1each. oh I forgot if your a pillow fanatic bring your own. My wife thought they were lumpy, I slept just fine. I 100% enjoyed my stay. We loved Chris.
