Quaint and tidy accommodations, wonderful staff, perfect location...all at amazing price
First, let me say that the owner Herr Appleton was an absolute gem to work with. I had nurmerous changes of dates, and every time he was patient and understanding and helped me to move my weekend stay to when I would actually be available to visit. Having someone be so accommodating, when ever you yourself know you are being exasperating...is truly a find. For that alone, I recommend this stay.
But, on top of that, upon arriving, I was happy to note how close this location was to the beach and to one of the big hotels in Ocho Rios. It was nice, at night you could actually hear the musical entertainment for the guests next door, and it was free :) so can't beat that! We booked the two rooms, along with the kitchen and two bathrooms. They are smaller than I first thought that they would be, but still well kept up, stocked with amenities, and cozy to relax in. For those from abroad, I know the thought of a not warm shower leaves us with despair, but if you give yourself a little patience, and ingenuity, both bathrooms at this lovely stay have in shower water heaters, that do heat up and make the shower oh so nice and warm. (Just note- can take a little time the first time around, if you are merely used to turning on the faucet, to get the right combination of hot, cold, and pressure to create your perfect shower. But don't despair it is possible!)
*Note- for those who need to work on holiday, as some of us do, the wifi connection here was outstanding!! Had no interruptions on any of my webex calls or interruptions with my connection for email*
The pool was fabulous. I swam laps every morning for my exercise routine, and it was clean, and warm and just beautiful to see the scenery located around the yard. The hot tub, is a inflatable version, so does not get boiling hot such as those that are permanently constructed, but still reaches a nice temp and feels like a very enjoyable soaking tub.
The staff though, especially caretaker Chris, were the real draw at this property. Very kind and considerate, and always willing to help! I travel to Jamaica often since my boyfriend lives here, so have stayed a quite a few locations, but even though this is not the grandest location I have stayed, it is still the one with the most attentive owner and staff, and I will be back.
Thank you Herr Appleton and Chris for a wonderful stay!
