“A Wonderful Vacation Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 20, 2010

HBK Villas is a relaxing, quiet, wonderfully situated vacation spot. This was our second trip there with our 5 year old. Once situated in a roomy villa, it isn't even necessary to leave the villa grounds unless sightseeing is opted for. The grounds offer a surprisingly well stocked grocery store and a nice selection of restaurants. Jolly Beach is a short walk or golf cart ride away and guests have access to a scenic outdoor pool. The staff is extremely courteous and the manager, James Richards, does an incredible job to ensure that your stay meets with your satisfaction.

“Winter Retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 20, 2010

We have been enjoying a two month stay at HBK villas for the past six years. One of the nicest things is being greeted by James, the manager, the office staff and the housekeeping staff with a "Welcome Home" each year when we return. The villas are fully equipped with dishes, pots and pans etc.and we have always found them to be cleaned and well cared for.A two month stay will often require a special need such as a cookie sheet and the housekeeping staff helps out quickly. Our villa this year was attractively decorated and had a lovely tile deck. We often enjoyed meals there as well as entertaining our friends and enjoyed the inland waterway view. Housekeeping was provided two days a week and any extras were always readily available.Several restaurants, a market and banking are within walking distance.Internet access can be found in the HBK office. We will most certainly be returning next year!

“Utopia! What a perfectly fantastic vacation destination!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 10, 2010

HBK Villas is the ideal place for relaxation, beach, fun and whatever else you want. My sweetheart and I spent spring break there. What a great choice. We were greeted by a cheerful HBK staff. Checking in was a breeze. They even have an exchange library of books. Jolly Harbour has everything you need for an abosolutely marvelous vacation; bank, grocery store, liquor store, pharmacy, various restaurants and the convenience of docking your boat, if wanted. There are many boat cruises which you can board right there on the property; day and evening cruises. We went on one day cruise, with snokeling/lunch/rum punch and one evening cruise. Both were fabulous! The villa was roomy, clean, modern and the property is well secured. We didn't worry about anyone just walking on the property. We both felt like the villa was our vacation home! We had a full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms upstairs and a very spacious deck. The place was immaculately clean. We ventured out to town and bought fresh fish to cook. We also bought many meals from Carvelle, a popular local eatery close by. Carvelle is fantastic. Don't let the location throw you off. Everyone eats there! Carvelle is a fantastic cook and a beautiful person. We spent many evenings having dinner out on the deck of our villa. (Make sure you take your mosquito spray. It is the caribbean. I just made it a part of my daily routine. No problem.)
The housekeeper, Jennifer, was so pleasant and helpful. The beach was excellent. White sand. Restaurant right there, in case you want a quick bite and drink. Water sports. If you're looking for the perfect place to vacation, look no farther than HBK at Jolly Harbour. Give James, the manager, a call. He's the absolute best!

“An amazing place .. luxurious, peaceful, close to everything required !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 27, 2010

I just spent 10 days in one of the most beautiful villas in Jolly Harbour. It was an experience I will cherish and one I plan to revisit. The villa was very clean, well maintained and if there was even the smallest of issues (no coffee maker) ..then James was on it and you had whatever you required same day. The rooms were very spacious and the furniture very comfortable. I was a solo traveler this time so space was not an issue however I know 4 people could be very comfortable staying here.
It is within walking distace to the beach, the pool and even the small plaza, which has everything from a bank to liquor store to an internet shop and more.
I had one of the best experiences of a trip to date. I recommend this villa and this area highly.

HBK70, Manager at HBK Villas, responded to this review
March 4, 2010
Admittedly, the guests in this instance has a legitimate complaint but I must mention that request for most or if not all of the items mentions were addressed and fixed. HBK Villas was even praised by the guests for actions taken in addressing their concerns. This booking was not a direct booking but was booked by the owner through a UK website. Complaints were made by the guests to us and also to the owner about what was represented in their advertisement. We have no control over what is advertised. We are currently working with the owner to rectify all the other problems mentioned by the guests.
