Viilas Sur Mer employees and mgr Cassandra and team are so kind.

I loved the grounds, the rooms, the design and construction, the pool and almost everything at the Villas.

I was visiting my two friends from Orange Hill as well as my lovely fiance, whom is from St Anne's Parrish near Linstead/Kelits.

My friend who works on Villas and rentals in the area was amazed on how nice the grounds and location was built and designed. And I also agree it was so quiet, relaxed vibe and so pretty with all the flowers/vegetation, etc.

The rooms were clean the shower and bathroom designs were nice and clean. Full kitchen as well. Great rooms and grounds...

The bad news it poured so hard that the place and entire island was under water and suffering the severe rains at the time. My fiance had to take 4 taxis, 2 buses, and 2 paid boat rides across to towns in order to get to Montego to meet me on my arrival. So the weather was bad, but I loved the Villas that much more because I was inside watched some tv, cooked, and lounged as well.

The underground cave is so cool, really makes that place so much more interesting. And the Villa's are literally right across the street from Ricks Cafe.

I had lost my Visa sometime when I arrived and thought maybe it was at the hotel safe, so I had called Cassandra, she went out of here way to call me personally, check the room and safe for my passport, and went out of her way to help me in any way possible. She made me feel like a family member or friend.

Awesome service.. BTW Passport was at Embassy at Airport all week. I was so excited when I arrived I didn't know I lost it until I was at airport to fly out.. What a scare..!

FYI if you lose your passport....call or go to US Embassy at Montego and./or other Airports.

Cant wait to re visit...hope I can enjoy the pool and bar area next time.

Thanks Cassandra and Villas Sur Mer...I miss NEGRIL WEST END.

We just returned from a stay for 3 nights in a cottage, then 5 nights in the seaside villa. Both experiences were incredible! The cottages are quaint and the pool and bar area are lovely. The seaside villa, however, is magical - we literally could not believe our eyes when we first walked in. We did a couple of off property day trips, but spent most of our time swimming in the pool and the ocean, snorkeling, and relaxing.

For clarification for future travelers, when you stay at the villa you have a staff of three dedicated to taking care of your group. The staff is wonderful and works very hard to make sure your stay is perfect. At the end of the stay, most visitors tip the house staff, and it is best to do this in cash (US or Jamaican dollars are fine). The recommended amount is 10%. We did not realize this ahead of time. We were able to withdraw cash from the ATM in town, but of course the fees to do this are expensive. Also, most of the larger restaurants accept credit cards, but the smaller restaurants and bars, shops, and vendors do not; Jamaican and US dollars are both fine. It is helpful to have cash in small bills ($1 and $5s) for taxi rides, buying souvenirs, etc, and larger amounts for tipping the house staff and paying for activities which cannot be paid for with cash (boat rides, snorkel trips, etc). Cassandra, the manager at Villas Sur Mer, is extremely helpful and can tell you ahead of time what you will need cash for.

The snorkel equipment provided by the resort was of good quality, so no need to bring your own. There is no restaurant or food on property, but there are several good restaurants within walking distance. However, service in Jamaica is very relaxed/ slow (everything is prepared fresh from scratch), so if you don't want to spend a lot of time waiting in restaurants, it's helpful to bring snacks and breakfast options with you.

If you need transportation including to or from the airport, use the resort's preferred drivers. They are trustworthy, reliable, and appreciate the work.

My family much preferred this trip to an all inclusive experience. We feel that we got to know the staff and Cassandra and came away with an understanding of what Jamaica is really about.

Cassandra and staff were very friendly and helpful. The 3-bedroom cottage had a fun, Caribbean style and was just right for our 6-person group. The kitchen space is tight, but it worked just fine. The pool, hot tub, and outdoor bar area are very nice, although I wish the area wasn't so heavily shaded. The location was nice for walking to restaurants, but we did hear quite a bit lot of noise from nearby properties (music, vehicles, goats, roosters and dogs), which was annoying at times. Staff helped to arrange transportation to Seven Mile Beach area (cost $4 USD per person). The cave walkway to the cliff platform is very cool, and the snorkeling there was awesome.
