Things to Know

Minimum stay: 6 nights in high season, from a weekend day to a weekend day. Low season stays are more flexible. Rates are exclusive of tips: the hosts suggest a 10% gratuity based on the rental rate in high season and a 15% gratuity in low season to be divided up amongst the staff (chef, sous chef, maid, gardener, butler, laundress, night manager). The driver is not villa staff and should be tipped separately. This is a 1-story building, wheelchair accessible and safe for toddlers and crawling babies. All bedrooms are air conditioned. The shower water is solar heated. A comprehensive water filtration system purifies the villa’s drinking water - no need to purchase cases of bottled water. There is a SONOS wireless music system plus Bluetooth speakers in all 4 master bedrooms. Be aware that the residence has a pool that can be accessed from the terrace; several master bedrooms also open to the pool terrace, which also has an open bar. Some outdoor walkways have natural, uneven stones. Three friendly dogs live onsite but can be kept in their large run during the day on request.

Style Notes

Modern Caribbean. From the cathedral ceilings to the 50ft sliding glass doors in the great room to the infinity pool, this property is truly luxurious. Teak flooring, beautifully tiled bathrooms and sumptuous bedding make it a sophisticated and glamorous place to stay. Eclectic throw pillows, area rugs, and art add cheery, bright pops of color to the neutral, white palette. The kids will love the bunkbed room while the covered terrace is the perfect place for parents to relax with a full view of the pool.

We live in Canada, but I was born in Jamaica and have since traveled back for many vacations. As a child my parents brought me back to the island every summer and I have so many fond memories from these times. Now that I have children I want to share with them their rich heritage and help them to create magical memories of their own. Great River Private is a lovely neighborhood, gated and secure. There are only twenty one other estates in the well established property. The breeze from off the hills behind keep us cool and the view of the ocean in front keep us mesmerized.

Great River, Jamaica

Adventure sports and mountain hikes

One of Jamaica's major rivers, Great River is to the east of Montego Bay and is renowned for rafting and adventure sports with the backdrop of incredible gorges. Slow the pace with plantation tours and mountain treks, or enjoy the beach for days filled with sun, sand and relaxation.

Fantastic villa and team that looked after us very well. The Villa is very child friendly and chef cooked very well. Access to Round Hill was a real bonus. A great holiday.
