We enjoyed our stay at the villa
We arrived late to the villa as had delays with the flight and Chris the manager was there to greet us and explain everything to us he was very friendly and welcoming we stayed for two weeks and Chris was excellent throughout our stay we can’t fault him the pool was wonderful and the beach was excellent and just a short walk from the villa there was a supermarket near by too the only thing we would suggest is to have the option of a welcome pack on arrival with the essentials ie t bags coffee milk sugar bread butter juice water even if that comes as an extra charge as we arrived late and could have done with a cuppa would recommend to others to stay there thanks for an amazing time

Villa Patiently Waiting
We had a lovely stay at the villa but it was marred by the fact that the other small properties in the compound are also sold use of the pool. We had to have some very uncomfortable conversations when other guests just appeared in the pool. The listing states that it is a private pool and they rely on the good nature of the guests to work out whether you allow other guests ( not staying in the villa) to use it. We felt this was deceitful and unfair to all parties but I have been assured by the owner Alvin that the listing will change to say Shared pool. The pool area is not big enough to share with the other properties, which we were also unaware of existing on the same site. Overall the villa is dated but comfortable and good value for the location. The Bamboo Blu beach is lovely and residents who stay in the villa have free access to the private beach, free sunbeds and 15% off all food and drink which we considered to be a great perk of the Villa.

Great experience
This was our first visit to Jamaica and it won’t be our last. The owners property manager Chris lives on site and is always available to help with pretty much anything you need. The property is spacious with plenty of space for larger families to spread out and enjoy this lovely property which has its own pool and jacuzzi. The beach club which residents have access to is right on the door step and there is a vast array of bars and restaurants locally. We hired a car which made visiting a number of local areas of interest easy. Many thanks to Alvin the owner and especially Chris for making our stay a memorable experience.

A little gem
This place was amazing for us. My family loved the pool. Chris was amazing!!!! There was no ac in the family areas but we easily adapted. Rooms were cool and the showers were amazing!!!! I love hot water even in Jamaica. The beach was a short walk away and was sooooo nice. We stayed 3 places this visit and patiently waiting was by far a diamond in the rough. We had other family members staying in the cottage on the property as well. There were two more apartments or accommodations attached to the house. You can not see them from the pic. They were occupied but we hardly saw them. However one night one of the couples were at the pool and was a little surprised to see them. They left without incident. Otherwise we had the place to ourselves. I would definitely visit again. I would like to occupy the entire villa next time with more family!!!

Just What the Dr. Ordered
We loved this place and especially enjoyed the company of Christopher Ludford, the care taker. It's located in a nice gated community just outside of Blue Bamboo Beach Bar/Restaurant. You access the beach using resort passes, about a 5 minutes walk outside the property. We also walked to grocery store just down the way. Once there we opted to catch a taxi back. There are only 2 things missing to make this place perfect. Air conditioning is desperately needed in the common area. During the daytime, even with the windows and doors open it gets HOT!!! It would also be nice to have someone to sweep the floors, 2-3 times per week. This way the sand/dirt and whatever doesn't gather on barefeet.

Stayed here with friends and family for a birthday weekend. The property is beautiful, clean and spacious. Centrally located in St Ann with a beach access and close to grocery store (Boot), gas station, restaurants and adventure parks. Very well kept property with fruit trees and gardening. Also the house has many sitting rooms to entertain. I would recommend to persons for a family or friend relax retreat.

Excellent Customer Service
I must say that upon arrival, at first glance, the property seemed all that was advertised, and in many ways it was. There are some important upgrades that need to be done to the property to make it more livable and enjoyable. However, the customer service by Chris was excellent, from start to finish. He was so welcoming and pleasant that I somewhat overlooked the needed upgrades to a certain extent. Great host and excellent cook! Chris is a great guy. I would stay at this property again if certain necessary and important upgrades were undertaken; for, you cannot beat the customer service and its affordability.

Property needs to be updated.
Staff was warm and went over and above the call of duty. Bedrooms clean with TVs. Property clean and spacious but badly in need of updating. Other guests are also accommodated on the same building which means there is no privacy! Property has lots of potential but work is needed. Pool needed painting. Best suited for persons who want somewhere average to stay whilst they explore jamaican. Would not recommend for persons looking for a private vacation villa.

What a great place!
From now on, this will be our go to place in Jamaica. We were there for our daughters wedding at a local resort. Mr. Appleton (the owner) and Chris (the caretaker) were beyond accommodating and helpful during this time. We held a dinner at the house for 30 people, and there was PLENTY of space. The pictures don't do the home justice in conveying it's TRUE size. Only the bedrooms have a.c. (which worked wonderfully), but truthfully, the house is built so open to air flow, it was rare that it got very hot inside. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom, which are very adequate. Good water pressure. The bedrooms are comfortable, although the pillows do have a case on them that crinkle alot when you move. All the TVs work and have American stations. The kitchen is sparse, but you have everything you need to cook, including a full sized fridge and oven. There is LOADS of seating, inside and out of this house. The grounds are gorgeous, and there was always somebody there working on things. The pool is wonderful, although I will note, it is not private. All guests staying on the property have access to it, and there are workman around almost everyday. It was maintained very nicely and had a hot tub (which we didn't use). Plenty of beach chairs and pool towels are available to use, just ask! There is a back gate that leads to a short walk (maybe 300 feet) to the beach resort behind the house. There is a pass Chris can give you to go there. The beach is right there, along with multiple small restaurants and bars. A few souvenir shops also. A few things to note: You must supply your own toilet paper after the first roll. There are no seasonings, sweeteners, coffee, etc in the kitchen to use. Bring plenty of bug spray and sunscreen. Bath towels and pool towels are provided, if you want to go to the beach, pack a beach towel. If you have a reason to (or even if you dont), arrange to have Cleevis cook a meal for you. He is fantastic. Ask for the fried chicken! We would like to say thank you to everyone who was so nice and gracious during our stay: Cleevis, best dinner ever! Chris, you are so helpful and always smiling. Thanks for all your help! Betty Anne, thank you! Baldwin the taxi man, thanks for chauffeuring around our crazy bunch over and over and over again. Mr. Appleton, thank you for having such a great house for others to enjoy! Don't hesitate to rent at this property. You won't regret it!
