Dear Linda,

I just had to let you know how wonderful our stay was at Amanoka. What a way to celebrate my 40th birthday. The villa was spectacular. We just loved the open air feel and the tranquil grounds, and the staff was outstanding! Steve and his team were super. We didn't need or want for a thing. The food was fit for royalty. After our first meal, I made no more suggestions. I just told Steve, "Cook what you want" and I knew it would be delicious. The night of my birthday party we had signature cocktails on the verandah and moved to the beach for dinner and later, music and dancing by the bonfire. We dined on fish, lobster and crab caught that morning, jerk chicken, steaks and lamb chops with all sorts of fresh veggies and fruit. We ended the night with chocolate dipped fruit, birthday cake and champagne. We are already planning next year's trip. This time "just because". You all are so right - after a villa vacation there's nothing else.

Dear Linda,

We loved everything about this villa and we are working on 2007 dates for our return trip.
This was a FABULOUS vacation. I can't say enough about this house and staff. It was the best
Linda Smith Villa Vacation EVER!!!

Dear Linda,

I want to let you know what an incredible experience our group had at Amanoka. There was a group of 12
and 9 of us were celebrating our 40th birthdays this year. Several of us have known each other for over 25 years! We considered this the "vacation of a lifetime" and had very high expectations, but our expectations were tremendously exceeded! The house and grounds were even more beautiful than the pictures on your web site. The staff, however, provided the most unforgettable experience - the gourmet meals, specialty cocktails, the ever-present smiles of all the staff and the impeccable cleaning and attention to detail that made my friends and me feel like 40-year old princesses! It has been very difficult to return to then reality of careers and household responsibilities. We have all decided that the experience that was intended to be "once in a lifetime" will have to be at least once every 2 years! Our hats are off to you and your staff! We'll be in touch with our next reservation!
