The listing doesn't really do it justice. My friends and I spent 3 nights there for a birthday getaway / reunion. It was absolutely stunning. Each room was well appointed, there were lots of spaces to sit, relax and take in the natural beauty. The place was quiet. The staff was top notch and the chef is really talented. All throughout our stay, the hosts were responsive and friendly. They also provide recommendations for beauty and wellness providers so you never really have to leave the property!All in all, it was a memorable weekend, and the compliments haven't stopped pouring in from my friends about it.
Great for single and family getaway Caribbean vacation.

Dear Shirlene,
Thanks for your review. It is a great spot for a family get away - perfect for kids to run on the polo field and adults to lounge around and chill!
Thanks again!
Our stay at Brown Shuggah was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views, spacious and comfortable accommodations, and—most of all—the INCREDIBLE staff who made our vacation unforgettable.We were warmly cared for by Sofia, the sweetest and most attentive housekeeper; the extraordinary Chef Wong; Pepe, our phenomenal butler; and Dwyane and Bryan, the friendly and hardworking groundskeepers who kept the property in pristine condition. Their warmth and dedication elevated every moment of our stay immensely and we have the utmost gratitude for each of them. A huge thank you as well to Anna for recommending the perfect driver. Jahair, our driver, was incredible, kind, punctual, patient, and always ready to take us wherever we needed to go safely. Before arriving, our family was hesitant due to the recent hurricane, but once we confirmed everything was in place, we were so glad we continued with our plans. Jamaica felt incredibly safe, and everywhere we went, locals expressed heartfelt gratitude for visitors supporting tourism.Our group of eight travelers, ages 4 to 74, all had an amazing time—from the youngest to the oldest. The entire experience, from beginning to end, was spectacular! We left with full hearts, unforgettable memories, and a strong desire to return! If you’re considering this property, do not hesitate—you will be absolutely thrilled you chose it and it will be a memory you’ll always treasure!

Dear Jessica and family
,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a beautiful and thoughtful message. We are truly grateful that you chose Brown Shuggah Villa for your Thanksgiving getaway.
We completely understood your initial caution given the hurricane news coverage surrounding the southern and western parts of the island, and your concern was very warranted. We are grateful that you were able to see firsthand that the central north coast and the east of Jamaica were fortunately spared, allowing you to relax and enjoy your time in comfort and the casual elegance we aim for.
Sofia, Chef Wong, Pepe, Dwyane, and Bryan take great pride in what they do, and we are so pleased they were able to deliver the level of effortless pampering that defines the Brown Shuggah experience. Creating that sense of “barefoot elegance” and ease for our guests is exactly what we strive for. We are also happy that your transfers with Jahair were punctual and easy.
Thank you again for visiting during this important time, and for playing a part in supporting Jamaica’s recovery through tourism. We would be truly honoured to welcome you back again.
With warm appreciation,
Daniel & Anna

This is the perfect place to take a large group and enjoy total relaxation, privacy and luxury. Brown Shuggah is even more beautiful in person and the staff will spoil everyone-you can't pick a better spot!
We had an absolutely relaxing and pampered weekend at Brown Shuggah. The team was amazing. Chef Wong was incredible. His food was so tasty , we think we gained 10 pounds in a 4 day 3 night weekend. Praise to Sophie and Pepe who took tremendous care of us, with cleanliness of the rooms and organization of the days. Sophie made our room special for my husband’s birthday, and Pepe made sure decorations etc were up. Thanks to Dwayne and Brian also for keeping the property looking beautiful outside. Anna the host was easily reachable and gave us recommendations. We had a great time. We are just sorry that we had to leave.
Brown Suggah Villa is a beautiful property! What was even more amazing was the staff! They were all extremely accommodating and friendly. My kids loved them, especially my 1 year old! We loved it so much, we wished we could have stayed longer! We will definitely be visiting again!

It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the beauty of the property and that our staff was attentive to your needs. We appreciate your compliments and hope to welcome you back for another great stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brown Shuggah. The pictures do not capture the beauty of this luxury villa, which is extremely well maintained and immaculately clean. The staff was outstanding. Highly recommend.
Brown Shuggah Villa is the ultimate in a vacation home rental. The property is stunning with beautiful vistas of the ocean. The house had all the amenities one could hope for. The staff was truly amazing and make it a truly relaxing, memorable experience. It was convenient to Ocho Rios, but not too close. I've rented several different properties around Florida and the Caribbean through VRBO, and this one truly stands out.
Our party of four adults and six children recently spent spring break at Brown Shuggah Villa and we could not have had a better experience. The online pictures just don't capture how truly breathtaking the property is and we often found ourselves just staring out at the water. Everything went as planned from transport to check-in to meals. The staff was amazing the entire trip and we will miss our morning mimosas! We can't wait for our next visit!
Can’t express enough how great the villa was. Beautifully layed out and appointed. The staff was absolutely wonderful and so attentive. The food was outstanding. We did chef’s choice for the week and it was not to disappoint. So fun going to the private children’s beach, and the cliff jumping. Loved the dogs. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Really a special place!
From the lovely welcome at our arrival to the last moments for departure, Brown Shagguh surpassed every expectation we had . The host was amazing , she felt like family . The staff , the food , the house , the location were all absolutely wonderful . We will definitely be back soon . 5 days was not enough to enjoy such and amazing property and lovely staff .
All in all we LOVED every moment !

We had a great vacation. We travel to Jamaica every year and decided to stay at this property. The home is spacious, clean and comfortable. The view is absolutely amazing. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Pepe was on top of everything and took care of our every need from coffee in the morning to cocktails in the evening! He even took us in the ocean and made us feel comfortable exploring because he knows the ocean so well. Chef Wang prepared traditional Jamaican meals for us that we loved! Sophia made sure to keep the living space pristine! Finally Duane kept the outdoor space inviting and even taught me to play dominoes!!!We had an amazing time and are so grateful to the whole team. We will definitely be back!The Parker’s
The villa was absolutely beautiful and the staff was just as amazing!!
The reviews and the photos cannot describe the beauty of this villa. Making reservations and communicating with the hosts was easy, they were extremely helpful and accommodating. The transportation team was very friendly. The staff, there are no words that can describe this team of people including Lola (the dog) were extremely helpful friendly, they made us feel at home and make you want to come back to Brown Shuggah! Excellent food and drinks, service was great, the villa inside and out is extremely clean!
We had an amazing time. The pictures really don't do this property justice. It was larger and more beautiful than we expected. We suggested a video walkthrough tour with the housekeeper would be a great addition to the property profile. The staff were amazing and accommodating from arranging trips, great meals, swimming/cliff jumping/exploring the bat cave, to playing Ludo with the our kids. We made so many great memories and our kids will ALWAYS remember this trip to Jamaica. The host was also very responsive and accommodating with last-minute needs and revisions we had for our trip.
I loved loved loved my stay at Brown Shuggah! This was my return to this villa and it was more delightful this time than previous!
The villa itself is not only well maintained but has an element of uniqueness in design that is very striking and pleasing.
From the natural water elements, unique pieces of furniture and art work, to the curvatures of the walls and the unique feel of each room, being here brings about a sense of peace and happiness.
The owner is very friendly and nice - reaching out prior to answer any/all questions to help ensure that our visit would be a good one. The staff (Mario, Pepe, Chef Wong and others) were very fun to interact with as they were positive, attentive, respectful and polite in all interactions with us.
I simply loved everything about my stay and hope to be able to return again soon!!
