We cannot say enough about our time at Sunspot Villa! We were traveling with 4 adults and 7 children (ages 2-10). As soon as we made our inquiry about the property, we knew our vacation was going to be terrific. Email communications were quick and responsive. We elected the meal plan, which is WELL WORTH it. And we were able to deal with allergies and food preferences in advance. We even raised a question about whether there was a pool alarm so that our littlest ones would be safe at night, and the owner loved the idea and worked with us to purchase an alarm that is now available to future guests at the home. We were picked up in a large van that fit us and our 14 bags, plus carry-ons. After a 45-50 minute drive from Montego Bay airport, we arrived. The entire staff greeted us on arrival and from that point we didn’t lift a finger for 7 days. The house is impeccably clean and has four bedrooms, plus a casita with two additional rooms. We all had plenty of space and our own bathrooms. There are two master suites with views, which made for a perfect set up for our group. The pool is right off the back of the house with an expansive and beautifully landscaped yard that faces the beach. Our kids played badminton and soccer and loved exploring the flowers and looking for wildlife. The yard is matched only by the beach with its sugary sand, turquoise water, daily visits from a group of local manta rays, and an amazing reef that we snorkeled in for hours each day. In a week, we managed to go horseback riding, take a cruise on a glass bottomed boat, buy souvenirs, body surf, paddleboard (our own that we brought along with permission), and more all without getting in a car. The food was amazing. We opted for traditional Jamaican cuisine and were delighted by the nightly array of seafood, hearty breakfasts (including delicious Caribbean porridge), and various stews, bbq and veggies at lunch. The staff anticipated our every request, cleaned our rooms daily, were warm and friendly to the kids, and made amazing drinks for the adults (and smoothies for the kiddos) whenever we asked. We loved having the property manager staying onsite (though back in a part of the property that we didn’t even notice). She woke early each morning and greeted us with coffee and was available for any questions or needs that came up. We finished our trip feeling pampered, relaxed and recharged. We definitely plan a return trip to Sunspot Villa!
