Unforgettable Stay in Paradise !

Publié le 16 déc. 2024 sur HomeAway

Our stay in Jamaica was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Miss Nisha with warm hospitality and the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. The property was immaculate, offering breathtaking views of the lush landscape and sparkling Caribbean waters. The accommodations were exactly as described (if not better!)—spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with authentic Jamaican touches. Every amenity we could have asked for was thoughtfully provided, from a well-equipped kitchen to plush linens and beach essentials. The outdoor space was a true highlight, featuring a private pool, a cozy patio for morning breakfast and Dinner by Amera , that made us never want to leave. Our tour guide Mr. Baker went above and beyond to make us feel at home, offering excellent recommendations for local attractions, restaurants, and hidden gems we’d have never found on our own. They even arranged a private chef for one evening—an unforgettable experience filled with fresh, local flavors. The location was ideal—just a short drive from stunning beaches, vibrant markets, and cultural sites. Yet, the property itself was so peaceful and secluded that it felt like our own little slice of paradise. We left feeling rejuvenated, grateful, and already planning our return. If you’re considering a trip to Jamaica, do yourself a favor and book this place. It’s a true gem! Sparkling Waters you’ve made my Birthday a success! Until we meet again ❤️

Stay at Shimmering Waters

Publié le 28 oct. 2024 sur HomeAway

We stayed at Shimmering Waters for four nights at the end of October. We were picked up in Kingston by Bakerdon and driven up to Montego Bay (via Dunn’s River). Cannot stress enough how warm a welcome we received from Baker and how helpful he was throughout our stay. Any day trips we wanted to take, Baker was happy to guide and oblige. The house is absolutely beautiful, everything worked and we wanted for nothing. There are some lovely restaurants within walking distance. Any queries we had were instantly responded to by the owner Ralph, who was fantastic. A delicious breakfast was prepared daily by Chef Royal. There was another chef available for lunch and dinner if we had needed. Nisha, our housekeeper kept the house spotless and had our washing cleaned, dried and folded in a flash! We absolutely loved it and would recommend it highly to anyone. A fantastic stay in a beautiful country full of amazing people. One Love!

Greetings Mary, Thank you for being our HUNDRETH 5 Star Reviewer, for which all of us are sincerely Grateful. Thank you for your wonderful words! This is most certainly a solid 5 Star review of you and your Family as guests. We would definitely welcome you back as our dignitaries to Shimmering Waters. You and your family were such a delight to host. Kind, Courteous, Super Tidy, and Extremely Considerate. What we admired the most about your family; though this was your very first trip to Jamaica, you came notably to experience Jamaica as Travellers, rather than Tourists. You crisscrossed Jamaica's interior and went to places not easily travelled. So, we are all fans of your appreciation of The Real Jamaica, and the Kind Nature you and your family effortlessly displayed to us all in different ways, Warmest of welcomes, with open arms anytime. On behalf of all of us at Team Shimmering Waters, A Big Thank You! Ralph.

Beautiful house and view!

Publié le 27 mai 2024 sur HomeAway

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful house with stunning views and a gorgeous pool. From the moment we booked, Ralph, the host, was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all our questions promptly. He ensured everything was perfect for our stay, both before and during our trip. Our driver, Sir Baker, was equally amazing. He was always on time, extremely courteous, and went out of his way to make our transportation smooth and stress-free. The chef, Miguel, prepared delicious meals that we thoroughly enjoyed, adding a special touch to our holiday experience. The cleaning staff also did an excellent job, maintaining the house in pristine condition throughout our stay. Overall, me and my family had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend this place to all my friends and family.

10s across the board!

Publié le 15 avr. 2024 sur HomeAway

I have done a few villas in Jamaica and they never disappoint. My family really enjoy their stay at this specific facility. Miguel was our chef.... he was simply amazing! His personality, his interactions, and most of all his food were everything that I would have expected it to be. I had an incident that Ralph took care of without hesitation. If there wasn't so many places for me to stay in Jamaica, I would definitely come back to this house again! We even got massages by the recommended masseuse for this villa.

Royal Hospitality!!

Publié le 5 avr. 2024 sur HomeAway

We were a family of 5 traveling to Jamaica for the first time. We were very hesitant with the travel warnings and especially because we were with our 2 beautiful daughters. Upon arrival at the airport we met Sir Baker! He is the most charismatic person we have ever met! He was a wealth of knowledge when it came to restaurants, excursions, museums, and the history of Jamaica. No matter where we went on the island "EVERYONE" knew Sir Baker! It was like having your own personal security guard. We felt so safe with him that our daughters got to enjoy some of the nightlife on their own. By the time we left our daughters cried when he said goodbye. Sir Baker definitely made our trip the best ever! The property was so meticulously maintained inside and out. The pictures are exactly as advertised and bigger in person. Our daughters loved the home especially because everyone could have their own space to hang out from the family room with games, to the tennis courts. Mom and dad enjoyed quite tv time in our own master suite with separate sitting room and a beautiful balcony to watch spectacular sunsets! The host- Mr Ralph was very attentive and so responsive no matter what time. He was welcoming and made us feel so special. We celebrated my husband's 60th birthday and Mr Ralph had the house decorated with balloons and a cake, He is super thoughtful. Exceptional hospitality! Miss Mitchelle, and Miss Corieta were also amazing, always made sure we had clean towels and super kind.

Dear Angelina, Thank you ever so much for your awesome review! It was our sincere pleasure to host you and your lovely family! Mr. Baker earned "Sir Baker" by his professionalism and good deeds all over, as you noted above. Team Shimmering Waters is comprised of many, all working together toward positive experiences for our guests. We are as a family, each with our own skills. We all enjoy what we do. Many you may not have met. Miss Mitchell arranging your cake and balloons, with Miss Corretta (who is never afraid to accomplish anything), Miss Dorothy consultant, Technicians, Pool Staff, all are special. Miss Mitchell who arranged your food delivery helped develop delivery services in Montego Bay many years ago. She contacted her previous employee to deliver your food. Remarkable background. It was our pleasure to be of service to you! We would be honored and look forward to hosting you again! Kindest Regards, Ralph Owner and Host, And all of us at Team Shimmering Waters

Mario and his family were wonderful guests and a real pleasure to host! They are very nice people, respectful and considerate of staff and the Shimmering Waters property. I recommend them to any and all hosts. You will find that they are more like travelers than tourists, often out exploring.
