What can I say about our stay at Carousel? Hmmmm, let me think......It was probably some of the best 4 days of my life! Our arrival went so smooth, our driver Eric was prompt, we had no problem finding him, he was right where Jennifer said he would be. He was very informative about Runaway Bay and the towns we were passing on the way. I had inadvertently packed my toiletries in my carry-on so in the trash they had to go before I could get through security. Eric was nice enough to stop at a store for me to stock back up before we got to the villa. He was such a sweet man! So we get to the villa and I am just amazed! It was beautiful. The pool in the middle when you first walk in is great. When you are in the pool at night looking up to the open sky, you feel like you are in a planetarium. The sky was so clear, you could see the milky way and other constellations! Ossie and Ms. Millie were the greatest! We had good food for every meal! They went out of their way to even cook for a birthday pool party that we had for my friend. To this day she is still talking about the party saying that it was the best birthday party she has ever had! Ms Millie did our laundry (we didn’t even ask her to!) and turned down our beds every night and set the air conditioner, so that our rooms were not too hot when we went to bed. Fresh towels for the beach/pool were plentiful. We have stayed at other villas in Runaway Bay, but this by far was the best in my book. When in Runaway Bay, make sure you look up The "Horseman", Robert. He has 13 horses that are extremely well groomed, and very very well trained. Robert, or his cousin Milton, will pick you up at the villa and take you on a ride you will never forget. You will go up into the hills and will be able to look out over the beach and Runaway Bay. The view is spectacular, especially if you are there right before sunset. Then you will ride down the hill to the beach and literally ride into the sunset. It is FABULOUS! Robert and his cousin Milton are the greatest. They will tell you all about Runaway Bay and answer whatever question you have. They can even make suggestions of where to party like a tourist or a local. Robert can be reached at (876) 376-7164. My advice for your trip - pack light you won’t need much more than a swimsuit and cover-up! If you do go out, it is all casual. Take one day and go into Ocho Rios (Ochie) go shopping, go swim with the dolphins, make sure to stop and get some Juicy Patties (they are the BEST!) Try the meat and cheese. Then stay in Runaway Bay the rest of the time - you will have a well deserved restful vacation. Make sure to order a drink at the bar from Alphonso (tell him he makes weak drinks and he will make them REALLY strong - he likes a challenge!) :-) he makes really good drinks and they are by no means weak! Make sure you order some food from Chef - just place the order with Alphonso. Ask around for Bola to ride the jet skis. If he is not there, ask Alphonso or Robert (Horseman) to give him a call. It is a lot of fun!!!! A big thanks to Jennifer for her outstanding customer service. She is so sweet and will make sure that whatever your needs are, they are met. She does a great job putting together a packet for your review prior to the trip so that you know what is going on and what you can do in the area. Thanks for making the trip great Jennifer - we will most definitely be back!!!!
