The best Jamaica villa

Wanted to give an excellent review for the portside Villa … the staff there was amazing. They assisted us with everything that we needed. The chef was amazing. They even assisted with decorating for my husband birthday and the cleaning Had fresh towels every day made our bed every day. Definitely will be returning if I visit Jamaica again thank you so much.

Family vacation

We had an excellent time at Portside Villa. The house is perfectly positioned on Discovery Bay, with great water access from the deck and the private beach. Our daughters are Masters Swimmers and they did a lot of open water swimming. Our kids and grandkids visited the Puerto Seca Park and loved the floating trampoline. Negel, the butler, helped us set up some time on a jet ski and so many other activities. We played pool a lot and visited the Gistening Water and the Blue Hole, which exceeded expectations and was a major hit with the 17 year olds.Chef Bell did an excellent job on Breakfast, lunch and dinners. We choose to eat at the Villa almost every night, and were rewarded with several 5 Star dinners. The house has wifi, but with a lot of devices going and TV streaming, it was sometimes slow. An idea for Kori to consider is "starlink" which allows tons of devices at excellent speed, for a reasonable price. The house has no obstructions for the satellite.For us, the house was not a place for nightclubs or big time shopping,, but we enjoyed the focus on family fun and great food and service. The house is well maintained, although in places it shows its age, but at this price point it is a real bargain.

Beautiful home, beautiful parish

We had a fabulous time at the villa, it was the perfect size for our group of 8. The staff was lovely—chef cooked incredible Jamaican meals, everyone was quick to help out and very hospitable. Every question was answered, every need addressed. It’s a very peaceful place with a stunning view of the bay, lots of interesting day trips in the parish as well—we really enjoyed learning more about Jamaican history. Highly recommend for a quick long weekend in Jamaica.

Bringing in my 40th in paradise

Our stay in Jamaica was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty. The chef prepared the most delicious meals daily—each dish better than the last. The housekeeper kept everything spotless and was always friendly and accommodating.But the true standout was our incredible butler. Not only was the service impeccable, but when my phone accidentally fell into the bay, he didn’t hesitate to get into the water and retrieve it for me! Talk about going above and beyond—truly a lifesaver!The villa itself was stunning, offering the perfect mix of luxury, comfort, and breathtaking views. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be pampered and treated like family, this is it. I can’t recommend this property enough and would return in a heartbeat!

I like to be very honest with reviews, as I use them myself when booking. The property itself is beautiful and right on the water. If you plan on staying in the house and doing water activities this is a good pick. It’s about an hour or more away from many of the major attractions. The area is a bit nosey and you hear everything that’s happening on the road in the house. While there is AC and great AC at that in the bedrooms, there is no AC in any of the common areas so it’s a bit hot. The butler Negill was AMAZING. Kind and very accommodating. The housekeeper was there all day but could have cleaned a lot better. Dinning room tables and floors were very dirty. They do provide kayaks and jenga at the house. I thought that was nice. I will also say the room set ups are accommodating for a big family.

Family and 50th Birthday celebration

Cleveland our driver, security and tour guide for the week was waiting for us in plain site as we arrived at the Montego Bay airport. We stopped on our way to the house for a rum punch and a bit of relaxing. The house was stunning! The gate was opened and we backed right down to reveal our stunning place that would be home for the next week. The staff was waiting to great and assist us out of the van. Samantha, Nigel and of course Tony were all there with huge smiles. Their attention to details we didn’t even know we needed is what set them above any bar that may have been set. The house was immaculate and Samantha really went out of her way thinking of us and our kids (15,15,13,10) all the time. Nigel, acted as “butler”, security, running trainer, and get it done guy. He found someone to bring jet skis right to the dock at the house. He took a few of us to the local market (walking)to do some shopping for Tony. He was waiting for use everyday upon our return with AMAZING piña colada’s that were non alcoholic with a bottle of rum for the adults. The kitchen…. Ordering only local fare, Tony certainly did offer his absolute best. From curried goat, to conch civiché, to ackee and saltfish and of course his famous french toast, our mouths and bodies were nourished with love. The 50 birthday party was above and beyond. ❤️ The ability to seamlessly go from the pool to canon ball into the ocean, perfection. Snorkeling all the time right under the deck was pure magic.

Nine Adults nailed relaxation

We had a relaxing week at Portside Villa- the rental process was quite simple. The pictures you see on line were taken at a time that things were "fresh." The outside could use some repairs to the deck, electricity (small shock to foot coming up stairs), and pool concrete. Seats to kayaks dry rotted; don't hold you up. At times water lacking in property that was resolved when brought to their attention. Would recommend improvement in how chef Tony goes about planning meals for the week. Suggest a book of recipes/ingredients and pictures so guest could select choices. Stressful to keep going back to guests needing items. When shopping should be only picking up items guests will need- not one gallon of cooking oil (really? we were just there for 4 more days; asked him to put back). Food at grocery store expensive in comparison to US. Samantha was so sweet, kept place in order. Nigel most helpful in all of his duties. House could use more activities/games to play as many places closed due to slow season. The large jengo set, pool table and pool certainly were used. Hope our suggestions are taken seriously to improve guest experiences in the future.

Family vacay

We booked a week for a family vacation—mom, 4 adult children (30s), 3 spouses/partners and a 3-year old grandson. House was lovely and clean. Chef was excellent; butler and maid were both very good. Manager wasn’t as pleasant and never showed up at all. Beach is nearby but gated and locked so can’t go without an escort. Perfect for a lazy week in the sun. Main road is very close to the house so trucks & noise all day and night. The public beach is nearby ($20 fee) and had a very loud P A system all day Friday that was quite obnoxious. Other days it wasn’t a bother. No walking out of the house without an escort limited us to staying exclusively on premises unless you book an excursion or walk to market w/ the chef or butler.

Special birthday trip

Everything at the property was lovely! The staff was amazing, courteous, helpful and very accommodating. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us. The only small drawback was the walk to the beach - though very close, it was along a main road with lots of traffic. But it didn't detract from a wonderful stay.

Portside Villa - Family Vacation

The property itself and the ocean view was spectacular, however the location on the main road was very noisy due to the constant heavy traffic, which made it difficult to sleep at nights. The staff was exceptional and went above and beyond what was expected of them to ensure our stay was pleasurable. They get a 5+ star rating for their phenomenal and professional service. Monique was on top of keeping the house very clean and ensured that we had everything we needed. Negell was outstanding, especially on the Kayak rides. He was up at the crack of dawn and was always available to fulfill our every requests. Chef Tony, who we affectionately called the singing chef, prepared authentic Jamaican cuisine every day. The staff beautifully decorated the Villa, and served up a sit-down, three course meal prepared by Chef Tony for a birthday celebration. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

50th Birthday celebration

I booked this property for my 50th birthday and it did not disappoint! The pictures are amazing but the property itself met & exceeded our expectations. There were 8 of us (all women) who stayed at the house & there was plenty enough room for everyone. All of the rooms have balconies, except one, with gorgeous views! The pool was amazing especially at night when it changed color. We enjoyed kayaking, our own private beach, chilling on the dock & lounging on the covered patio. There was a Bluetooth speaker there for us to use whenever we wanted & we did just that! The staff at Portside Villa was so gracious & attentive they made us feel like family. Chef Tony created a special birthday dinner for me & fed us like Queens all week long. Everything we ate was top notch! Michelle made sure we had our coffee & fresh orange juice in the morning & clean rooms when we returned from our outings for the day. Her smile was a great way to start the day. And what can I say about Negell!! I wanted to bring him home with me lol. He made us feel safe & welcomed. He was super attentive & helpful, he even went out in the rain for us the morning of our departure. He made our stay the best ever! I can't forget our drivers Wayne & Cleveland, super great people too! Overall I can say I really enjoyed my birthday at Portside Villa. We've even talked about coming back next year!

There aren't enough positive things to say about the people and the accommodations. We had the most wonderful vacation together and the people from Portside Villa made it even better. The entire staff is attentive and engaging, welcoming and very helpful in everything from navigating travel to arranging local fun. The nearby private beach is quiet and relaxing and the pool is great for gathering around to relax. The views, cool breezes and warm sunshine are a so great to enjoy but in a house where every night you are there you feel like you are at your own home. We slept like babies, ate like kings, played like kids and relaxed like there wasn't a care in the world. Highly recommend this wonderful place for a vacation and will definitely be back again!

Amazing spot to enjoy time together

After delaying my sisters wedding twice due to COVID we were long overdue on a celebration together. This was a treat for all of us abd did not disappoint. 6 girls flew in from all over the nation to celebrate my sister getting married. The view was spectacular and the private beach was just a few houses down the street. We ate every meal at the house and chef Tony went above and beyond accommodating our "diverse" diet requests. He made us a lot Indian inspired food and the flavors were amazing....every meal was fit for a king! And he even sang for us with his soulful voice, it brought us all to tears. Michelle helped us set up Bachelorette games like she was a part of the family and our Butler Negel made sure we were safe any where we needed to go and took care of us. We did some jet skiing, the luminous lagoon, and massages at the house. The rest of the time we enjoyed the pool, played games, and ate the delicious food Tony made. The staff really is service oriented and the butler lives on site in the back house; it was a little unusual to have 24 hour in house service but it really was a genuine interaction with each of them. And we were so grateful to have an escort when we left the property to get cash or more alcohol....its a bit more sketchy than our group had anticipated and I was glad to be required to be escorted places for our safety. We were in good hands though! We had an amazing time and it was for sure a Bachelorette trip fir the books! If I had one insight to provide is that being on "Island time" can be a little frustrating if you try to plan everything last minute. I tried to preplan out trip with Deana but she forgot to mention the holiday closures and curfews put into place place during our stay which hindered us doing what we had originally planned. I guess you just gotta be flexible and embrace the 'Ya Mon' philosophy...also, they only accepted cash for excursions, transport, and tips (groceries abd booking with card was okay). Carrying that much cash on me made me uncomfortable and going to the atm in Survivor Bay was not something I'd want to do again.

We didn't want to leave!

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the staff and welcomed to the property. The property has character - it's classic authentic Jamaican style, and we loved that! We opted not do a resort for a reason! Tony, the chef, was very accommodating with our meal choices, almost cooked too much food every night, we had so many choices! We did request local food as opposed to canned/processed foods so you want to make that clear from the beginning. Negil, our butler, was more than just a butler. He accompanied us when we needed to go into the local town and on outings. But he became our friend. If the kids wanted to go to the private beach but the adults wanted to stay at the house, he would accompany the kids to the beach. Michelle, the housekeeper, helped with laundry and general upkeep. Our drivers were also so kind, and when we wanted local recommendations for restaurants or live music, they were ready to accommodate. Our concierge was super responsive, helping us to book group outings at Chukka, Blue Hole, Mystic Mountain and tubing. The property is about 35-40 min from Ocho Rios, but only 10 min from Trelawny where you can do river rafting and tubing. Overall, a very very positive experience, mon! We do intend to return and we miss everyone so much!

Portside Villa-Perfect Girl Trip Vacation

My girlfriends and I planned our Jamaica Girl's Trip six months ago. This trip was special and dear to us, as four of us were to celebrate turning 50 this year. Aside from our birthday milestone, we had suffered two heartbreaking losses to our circle. Deanna handled every request, inquiry, and change with professionalism, patience and attention to detail. That was just the arrangements prior to our arrival. Upon arrival to the villa, every member of the staff was waiting for us with a smile and genuine welcome to what would be our home for the next six days. Ms. Michelle, our housekeeper is an absolute joy. And you must have her make you a cup of coffee! She was so sweet and absolutely perfect in her suggestions. The baby of our group actually had her birthday during our trip. Ms. Michelle asked us to leave our party decor with her as we went out and enjoyed our day's events. When we arrived back to the villa, she had completely taken care of the most beautiful decorations. Chef Tony's daily meals were beyond delicious. He was attentive to the group's unfamiliarity with some island dishes. He patiently explained each meal's pairings and even added some of our favorites. Everything was always served hot, promptly and so delicious. Cleveland our driver was a delight. Our rides were filled with music and showing us places to add to our daily activities. He always had a smile and made sure we were safe at all stops. Negell was the cherry on top for us all. He was not only our butler, but ensured we were safe and well kept at all times. Never did we have to ask for a thing. He went above and beyond in every facet of our stay. He was polite and patient, as we had questions galore. The staff was so trustworthy and protective in the villa and on our adventures throughout Jamaica. They treated us as family coming to visit. We truly were a little sad to leave them. It was conclusive at the end of our stay, never would we choose to stay at a resort but rather at the villa. Their service and energy are beyond five stars.

Incredible Bachelorette Trip

Me and 9 of my girlfriends (all in our 30s) stayed at the villa for 4 days for my bachelorette party getaway and absolutely loved it!!!! The house is beautiful. The photos do not do it justice because seeing it in person feels so much more grand and luxurious - a little piece of paradise to yourself. It is so clean and well kept and has everything you may need. The staff at the house deserves all of the praise in the world. The chef asked us what we wanted and accommodated our group’s allergies and all of our greatest desires. He went out of his way to make sure we all enjoyed the food. The food also tasted incredible!! We love seafood so his different types of fish and coconut shrimp were a hit with the group. Our butler was the most attentive, sweet and generous human. He provided five star service all the time (even when we had lofty requests like three rounds of pina coladas late at night). He was always nice and gracious and we will all particularly miss him. The housekeeper, was very sweet and did a great job dealing with the mess 10 women leave (sorry!). The driver at the house not only made sure we got places but stayed there with us and checked in on us to make sure everything was ok and was also very sweet. Finally, the house travel concierge helped us a lot with activity and reservation planning, as well as arranging for covid tests at the house. We could not have done this trip in such a smooth way manner without her. Overall the place was totally incredible and beautiful, the staff super helpful and nice and we felt like royalty. None of us wanted to leave and are talking about doing another trip. PS: don’t skip on the private beach because it is beyond what you could imagine. We were happy we did that instead of the beach club nearby. Thank you all!!!

Negell the butler made sure we didn’t lift a finger, he made this trip much more fun and amazing, we ask he delivered there was nothing he didn’t do and nothing was to difficult for him to handle and also thank you BJ we lost power one day for a few hours and he brought over the speaker for music etc. Last but not least Chef Tony can throw down, we requested and all Jamaican menu and he definitely delivered FOOD WAS BEST that fry chicken, escovitch fish and coconut curry shrimp to die for ... We will definitely be back because Portside Villa definitely felt like Home.
