Our transfer to Silver Sands was very enjoyable. Michael was very informative and made the trip go fast and fun. We have been to Jamaica a number of times but he still managed to tell us things we did not know. Tanesha also was very friendly and enjoyable. She had a big smile & warm greeting for us even though we were held up with huge lines in the airport. Michael was a safe driver and we felt totally at ease with him...
I think the rest stop was a very nice touch.
Blue Vista looked exactly as it did on the website, if not better. It was a very comfortable home away from home. It was very clean & in very good repair. It had a wonderful ocean view. Miss Lily was like a second Mom, she took such good care of us and watched out for us as if she were our family. She was wonderful at knowing just how much to cook. We did not have a lot of waste or left overs. We always had a good variety of foods and all were made exactly to our liking. My husband loved the TV in the bedroom. The villa could use an alarm clock, for wake ups on days you have to get up early. I especially loved the open air design, that all the double doors pool side could be opened to enjoy that wonder ocean breeze no matter what room you were in. We always felt very safe at the villa as well as walking around the area, whether it was day or night. The security guards were very visible & made you feel very safe.
...The beach was the most beautiful beach of any I have seen in Jamaica. The sand and beach area were always clean. It was not crowded, but could use a few more chairs. It was very peaceful there. The lifeguards were very friendly.
...I really liked the fact that the Reps took time to call during the week to see if everything was going well. That was a real plus over other villas we have stayed at in the past.
The Villa Mart-I think it is very nice. The ladies always had a big smile for us when we went in and were very helpful & patient with us while we shopped & asked questions. The prices there are very good as compared to buying souvenirs at the airport. I compared and the Villa Mart was always a few dollars less that we could of bought them elsewhere. They had a great selection of food & goods. I always found everything I was looking for.
The bar- was great. The bar staff always made you feel welcome and that they were happy you came past. The young man (I believe Sheldon was his name) & the young lady, Geneva were absolutely wonderful to us. The drinks were very good and the prices were very reasonable.
The Grill- unfortunately we did not get to try the grill. We hope to try it next time when we come.
