Sunrise is ocean front, quiet and has a lovely staff. The villa is decorated beautifully, crisp and clean. There is a wonderful breeze until around 5:30-7pm each night. The staff made the entire experience so easy. We were stressed about the food/drink not being included, but our cook Marcia and butler Chris, made it a breeze. Marcia talked with us about our preference, worked up a delicious meal plan for the week and did all the shopping for us. The resort had all our favorite sunscreens, Sun Bum, Australian Gold available for purchase, so our carry on luggage was all we needed. We snorkeled right off our beach several times a day. Most daylight hours were spent outside for us. We hit the shower after dinner (because applying Off is required when the breeze stops) and usually read or caught a movie on the premium cable channels before we fell asleep. The bedrooms cool off nicely with their individual AC units and the fans. Tryall had our transportation waiting when we landed, so we spent very little time in the airport. The in villa covid19 testing went so smoothly for our return to the US. We highly recommend Tryall and hope to return.

If you're looking for the ultimate Caribbean experience, go to Ma Moura. The house's poolcentric design is perfect for families. Four beautiful suites offering updated baths each with indoor and outdoor showers surround the circular pool. Four separate gathering areas were marvelous for our family of nine to dine and relax. Located on a hill, the views of the ocean/golf course are simply spectacular. But the best amenity is the staff. Jasmin, the cook, will not disappoint we promise; Patsy, Dawn and Andre do their respective jobs with smiles and competance, and Orrin, well nothing we say can express how much we all love the guy.While his title is butler, he is so much more. His personality is utterly charming; his professionalism undeniable. He ANTICIPATES your needs and solves whatever problems may arise. You are his main concern. He and Ma Moura doesn't get any better. Do yourself a favor and visit Ma Moura. The staff, the villa, the views will not disappoint.

We never want to leave. This is our first time here we came with a few families. We are staying at Eureka with three young children. The house itself has a great location with an open layout and sweeping views and a gentle breeze. While the house is very comfortable and lends itself to classic island Decor, The best part is the staff. I don’t even like saying that word though because they feel like family they welcomed us like dear friends. Every detail was handled. We felt so loved and cared for. Martha’s Beautiful loving care of the house could not be missed she always has a contagious smile and is able to handle anything with grace and confidence. She makes a mean bed and there was not a speck of dust to be found. All while making us feel like old friends. Ainsel our chef is a rockstar! He nailed every dish and never made us feel like we were asking too much. His Greek salad will be in our dreams. Our laundry was beautifully done by Sasheree who was always a welcome ray of sunshine. The grounds were immaculate thanks to Josef. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Smith for sharing your beautiful retreat with us. See you next year!!!

This amazing property will not disappoint! The breath taking views are vast and at night Montego Bay is visable by its twinkling lights. The house is a one story open concept capturing the Caribbean ocean from every corner. We stayed in the front bedroom in the cottage with our own bathroom and used the connected outdoor shower everyday! The sound of the waves can be heard every night. The staff was wonderful and made our stay feel like the ultimate vacation. They even did our laundry daily. The decor and conditio)n of this property is exceptional. We hope to visit again!

Dear Q3304YEdeborahl Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review after your holiday at Sunset. It is indeed a remarkable villa and with such a dramatic location on the waterfront. As you say, one of the loveliest things about staying here is to be able to hear the sound of the waves throughout the day as this is so relaxing and therapeutic. We very much hope that you will visit again and until then, Best wishes David Barber

Have you ever arrived to your destination and immediately felt like you were home? That’s what it was like to arrive and stay at Sugar Hill. When you arrive to Sugar Hill, you are warmly greeted by the wonderful staff who will make your stay most memorable. The 8 bedroom Villa, each with its own bathroom, has stunning views, is impeccably maintained with the most beautiful landscaping. Being part of The Tryall Club, golf, tennis, Pickleball and many other activities are at your fingertips, although relaxing poolside at Sugar Hill was all we needed. Marica, the leader and chef of the amazing staff, prepared the most delicious meals, always with a smile, welcoming you into her kitchen, sharing her skills and secrets. Kirk, our butler, so kind, catered to every detail including table settings for our celebrations. The linens, towels, sheets and even our clothing were laundered by Beverly with love, you could tell when someone enjoys their job. Tash, kept Sugar Hill spotless and our room immaculate. We had 2 celebrations while visiting and she decorated the rooms so beautifully. Radcliff blew up rafts, surprised us with fresh coconuts and along with Bowen kept the grounds impeccable. A 5* stay with a 5* staff and a 5* Villa Thank you all for your kindness~

The Tryall Club, and Karma Bay specifically, was the most incredible vacation my family has ever had. It was a total of 11 of us all gathering for a family members big birthday and Karma Bay did not disappoint. Everyone at the Villa was so helpful and welcoming that by the end of the trip we all felt like family and friends.
The villa lays right on the water with something for everyone. Oceqan goers can easily walk into the water while those who prefer the pool can sit and have a direct view of the beautiful blue ocean. Not only are the water activities great, but unlike a lot of the other villas we passed, there is a lot of lawn space for yard games. Also the outdoor space is perfect for sunny and rainy days and with the open concept you can enjoy it all with a shady covering.
When we arrived we were welcomed by the whole house staff welcoming us to our Villa. Thanks to Patricia and Shirnette, each and every room was spotless and completely sanitized and beautifully decorated and ready for our arrival. Everyday they greeted us with a smile, kind words, and a room as good as new. The rooms were each carefully decorated as well, each unique and incredible views not matter what.
George and Mario from our initial arrival ensured that all of our preferences for food were prioritized while also putting their own twist on the dishes. My mom has an incredible amount of food allergies and they were so accommodating to ensure she always had a great meal. The food also exceeded all of our expectations with how clean, fresh, and homemade everything was. Incredibly grateful for all their hard work!
Patrick did an incredible job with the outside of the house, he kept the landscape beautiful while tending to all the beautiful plants and palm trees outside. He even brought us coconuts one day to try the coconut milk! He went above and beyond!
Finally, Eddie (head of the house) was so attentive to make sure we always had everything we needed (he also makes a great pina colada). He helped us do everything from booking tee times, tennis times, transport to and from the airport, COVID test, and anything in between. He always welcomed us with a smile and provided hospitality thatwe have never experienced.
This was a very long review, but I wanted to make sure that each person who contributed to this incredible villa was acknowledged!
Thank you Karma Bay!

Dear Hannah, First, thank you for such a beautiful and thorough review. Karma Bay always works its charm on everyone who stays there. It is delightful to read that it did the same for you and your family. It is as you expressed, Karma Bay does not disappoint. The villa delivers a combination of the glorious oceanfront views, with a highly talented team of staff who work at the villa led by Chef George. They take pride in their work, excel in always delivering superb service, which is why Karma Bay has one of the highest repeat factors at The Tryall Club. Therefore, it is very gratifying that you and your family felt the same way! We will ensure to share your positive feedback with the entire team. Patricia, Shirnette, George, Mario, Patrick and Eddie will all be overjoyed to hear. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you and your family back to the Club soon.

Aqua Bay is hands down the best villa in all of Tryall. To start. We were picked up by Garfield. He came recommended to us by Aqua Bay. Incredibly friendly, great driver, and was so kind in answering our questions about Jamaica.
Upon arrival to the house. We received a very warm welcome by the staff, and the signature Aqua Bay welcome drink!
The Aqua Bay team provided top tier care. Here’s some of the highlights.
Andre is the Butler. He was very attentive, and has an attention for detail. Anything you need, he’s on it! We sat in the sunset pool almost every evening. Andre made sure our drinks were full, the fire pit was going, and set up the corn hole game for us. He made every amenity experience enjoyable.
Lennox, the chef. Cooks the most exquisite food that will send your tastebuds into over drive. PRO TIP! Request his pumpkin soup. It was to die for. Chef’s menu is endless. We gave him full autonomy when preparing our meals and he didn’t disappoint.
Cereka, the housekeeper was so incredibly sweet. Every night she had a relaxing diffuser going, fresh water in case you get thirsty in the middle of the night, and beautifully delivered our fresh laundry daily.
Highlights of the property. The tee off for the 17th hole is directly in front of the house. You’re close enough, but far enough from the beach club to enjoy Reggae Night, and maintain the serene sounds of Jamaica. The house balances the openness of Jamaica and the comforts of home. The real design gem of Aqua Bay is the art work! Local artistry displayed throughout home is an experience in itself.
If you’re looking for a relaxing villa for a family vacation, a business retreat, golf enthusiast, or a girls trip like us. Then hands down, this is the place to be.

Dear NWiggins, Thank you for your glowing review. It is so wonderful to read that your girls’ trip went perfectly! Aqua Bay is indeed an exceptional top-notch villa. The property is nothing short of exquisite and exudes luxury. Its oceanfront location reflecting the ambience of the sea is breathtaking, with an open concept to attract the prevailing breeze. The magnificent artwork throughout the villa mirrors the warm aesthetics of the property. Similar to you, many guests coming to The Tryall Club look forward to staying at Aqua Bay villa. Thank you for taking the time to write such detailed kind comments about the driver and the staff at Aqua Bay. Andre, Lennox and Cereka complement the villa perfectly. All who stay at Aqua Bay praise Lennox’s skills as a chef. We will ensure to pass on our feedback to the team. We cannot wait to have you back soon! Take care until then.

We had the BEST trip with our two young daughters (2yo & 4yo) at the Tryall Club, Someday Soon Villa. Rosemarie, Kayan, Lancel, Beverly, and Pamela made us feel so welcome and at home, taking care of us all day long- delicious meals, daily laundry, making our beds and taking so much of the work of traveling with toddlers out of the equation for us. Kayan's iced tea is legendary, as are his margaritas. Lancel makes the best fresh salsa we have ever tasted, we were obsessed.
Lunch at the beach club was a great option to have to mix things up- pizzas were delicious and the Shannel, Regina and one other woman whose name I can't recall were SO friendly and gave us the best service. We loved using the beach and pool in the morning with our kids and spending the afternoon at our house. Driving around in the golf carts and exploring the beautiful grounds was another highlight! The dinner experience outside our villa was the only disappointment of our trip, we ate one night at the Beach Cafe to check it out and it was lackluster. Very few people dining there and the food was not great. Fortunately we loved dining at our villa.
Highly recommend booking a private yoga session at your villa, as well as booking a steel drum band through the club. My husband celebrated his birthday while we were there and we had the club help us arrange a steel drum band for the festivities- the band was AMAZING, we were mesmerized. We will be back again next year! Thank you Tryall for such a memorable stay.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the incredible staff at the magnificent VL. In addition, the breathtaking views, the accommodations & amenities were all incredible. But what truly made this vacation extra special were the 8 people who took care of EVERYTHING & always with a smile.
Inez, the house manager, made sure every detail was perfect and her warmth and caring ways were truly palpable. Kirk made sure our drinks were perfect, the table looked beautiful and he constantly tended to so many things to help us enjoy our vacation. He even taught us a few tricks! Chef Marlon kept us well fed and accommodated all of our dietary needs, and always with a laugh and smile. His skills in the kitchen are undeniable… we ate like royalty - 3 meals a day! Chef knew exactly what we would like & every meal was made with love. We never wanted to leave the villa or miss a meal! He also showed us how to cook one of our favorite dishes! In addition, the villa was always sparkling clean, our laundry done daily, the pool tended to, the grounds kept beautifully and there were even a few surprises such as fresh coconuts opened right in front of us to enjoy. In addition to Inez, Kirk & Chef Marlon, Carlton, Samantha, Kamara, Lorraine & Damian made up the Dream Team!! You could feel the positivity from each of them and how much they truly enjoy working together. The energy in the house was always happy and comfortable & it’s because of these incredible people!!
The villa itself is beautiful and spacious. The decor is elegant and in good taste yet comfortable and homey. There is so much room to unpack and feel completely settled. Each room has beautiful views, comfortable beds, modern bathrooms, etc.
A few more accolades… Nicole Campbell, who works for Tryall, was so accommodating, even weeks before we arrived! She helped make sure our paperwork was complete, she arranged our spa services and was there for us to answer any questions, make reservations, check on things, give us information and also with kindness & lots of patience.
And thank you to our amazing travel agent, Rebecca Alesia, for suggesting that we stay at the Villa Lolita!!
So…. It will be difficult to vacation anywhere else as this trip was absolutely perfect and even better than we could have imagined!!!!

From the moment we stepped onto the beauty of Villa Lolita, we knew the vacation of a lifetime awaited us. The staff greeted us with drinks and a light lunch and made sure all of our needs were taken care of from the beginning to the end. I can not say enough about the beauty of Villa Lolita and all the ways she surprises in her charm. The staff and property are amazing. Quenton our butler attention to every detail was beyond the call of duty. He is a gem and we fell in love with him. Chef Marlon's daily creations were greeted with oh's and ah's at every serving and each meal kept getting better and better. Head housekeeper Inez always had a warm smile and her sweetness made you feel at home. From the housekeepers to the groundskeeper, Villa Lolita feels like you are in paradise. Can't wait to return.

Gratuity during winter season is normally 10% of the villa rate for the week, distributed amongst staff depending on function. For F&B, budget $60-70US per adult per day, $30-40US per child, per day.
That does not include alcohol. Nothing really saved purchasing it yourself, unless you duty free-it down on your flight, then you are saving some.
Tryall is gorgeous, it's my goto the past several years. If you choose it, you'll have a great time.
There are more places to choose from in the Sandy Bay area.
