Dear Linda,

As you know, we have stayed in your villas several times and the staff has always been wonderful, but I must say, Danny and Leaford are the best so far. Although the entire staff at Tranquillity were very friendly and courteous, Danny and Leaford stood out because they were always smiling and did everything they could to accommodate our wishes. The bright colors and comfortable furniture made for a true Jamaica vacation. I count on the fact that the staff, food and accommodations are always going to be excellent at your villas!

Tranquillity is an extremely comfortable villa for a family of eleven. The job performances by Danny and Leaford were superb. They are two very special men.

Dear Linda,

Tranquillity gets six stars from me!! It is paradise!! The staff were absolutely superb in every way. We were accepted into their "family" and we loved every minute of being with them. It would be hard, if not impossible, to find anything better than Tranquillity. Without a doubt, this was our best family vacation ever!!

Dear Linda,

We have stayed at four villas (by Linda Smith) so far. The combination chef/butler positions at Tranquillity are, by far, the best. Danny and Leaford set the highest standard.

Dear Linda,

So far, we have stayed in 4 of the villas you represent. The combination of the chef and butler at Tranquillity is by far the best. Danny and Leaford set the highest standards. They are wonderful.

The staff was simply superb. They were kind and good natured. They went above and beyond when was asked. All week we have wondered how we could ever find a better place to relax. Our children were so happy…. Thank you!

Dear Linda,

This was a great villa for our family - plenty of space in the villa and on the grounds for everyone.
We loved the villa and it had all the right things for us - pool, gazebo, tennis court and the beach was great for the kids. A wonderful spot for all of us. The food was good and the staff caring and efficient.

Dear Ms. Smith,

My family recently spent a week's vacation at Tranquility Villa in Jamaica. While I'm sure you've heard this before, I would be criminally remiss if I did not pass on my comments.

As exotic as Jamaica is, as beautiful and scenic as the Villa is, the people are absolutely priceless. I've traveled some in my business, and nowhere in the world have I been made to feel more welcome than in Jamaica. Their conscientiousness and diligence in their duties has inspired me to return
home and take my own to a higher level.

Some specific comments:

- Judith, Anne-Marie, Carlton, Edrick: Warm, friendly, and welcoming. They were there bright and early each morning keeping the house and grounds pristine. Wonderful people.

- Danny: What an incredible chef. Every single meal was excellent. After a week of his cooking, the return to the processed swill that passes for standard American fare has been gastronomically bumpy for our entire family. (My six year old daughter developed a crush on him, and still
doesn't understand why we didn't bring him home with us.)

- Leaford: Leaford runs a smooth ship. He was a minimum of two steps ahead of us at all times; more, once he'd gotten to study us. Beg the Lord's mercy if he catches you picking up after yourself or lifting a domestic finger! Leaford is an outstanding gentleman in all aspects.

- Mr. Ralph Buckle: driver, tour guide, security expert, Ambassador of Jamaica. Mr. Buckle's guidance was right on target 100%. With his help and guidance, we explored Jamaica and were not hassled or
hustled once. We felt perfectly safe at all times. I especially enjoyed our conversations about the life and perspectives of the Jamaican people. I will recommend him to everyone coming to Jamaica.

These people made our experience the best vacation we've ever had. I hope that you will convey to them yet again, the deepest appreciation of our entire family.

Dear Linda,

Everyone was so friendly, helpful and great with our grandchildren - much more than we expected. Leaford and Danny are wonderful - hold on to them! The food was always excellent and the service always impeccable. Tranquillity is a magical setting and it is extremely comfortable and a perfect place for our 8 month old and 2-1/2 year old.

Dear Linda,

The entire staff at Tranquillity was perfect - even better than I expected. The meals were delicious, but also appealing to our kids. Danny was exceptional at making meals for our picky eater. The grounds were very beautiful and it was the perfect setting for our big family. There was plenty for the kids to do without all the hassle of taking them someplace for tennis, basketball or the beach. This was our first trip to Jamaica and it was wonderful.

The staff is fantastic!! There's nothing more that can be said about them. The cook, Danny, was great and Leaford was excellent - very friendly and excellent. The accommodations were very good and we loved the clean environment and beautiful gardens.

Tranquillity is a beautiful villa and nicely decorated. What a wonderful staff. The food was great and Marcia and Leaford were very accommodating about dietary restrictions. The villa and pool area were always kept very clean and the gardens are beautiful. We love the dogs and we will miss them! Thank you for having the Welcome Book at the villa. The suggestions were very helpful in planning our activities.

Dear Linda,

Everything at Tranquillity was wonderful. The entire staff made our vacation so enjoyable. Having Sally, Lassie and Samson made us feel like we brought our own dogs with us. Ken Smythe made sure our ground transportation was great. Thanks for making our first visit to Jamaica once to remember. The staff at Tranquillity was excellent - very positive and helpful throughout our stay. The villa is lovely and the setting is perfect.

Dear Linda,

We couldn't have asked for anything more. Entire staff, especially Leaford, was extremely patient with all of the children. We truly enjoyed the character of the furnishings and appreciated the family friendly quality. We encouraged care on the part of the children but appreciated not worrying constantly about breakage, spills, etc. Tranquillity definitely exceeded our expectations.
Many, many thanks.

Just a quick note to say our vacation at Tranquillity Villa was fantastic!!! Marcia and Leaford are two of the most gracious and professional people we have ever had the pleasure to know! Our driver, Phillip, also deserves a good word ... we didn't keep him that busy (who wants to leave that beautiful villa setting!) but when needed, he got us to and from safely and with a most pleasant manner ... he knows everyone in Montego Bay!! Our thanks again for your assistance!

Dear Linda,

This is just to say how wonderful a time we had (11 of us, extended family) over Christmas week
at Tranquility! We knew the facility would be perfect, and we enjoyed sunny and very warm weather (except for the last day). The staff as superb as promised -- Marcia's cooking pleased all three generations, and Leaford was utterly fantastic! SO nice to the kids who adored him ...
Finally, I found your staff here in the US to be totally professional and a real joy to work with.
Again, many thanks for a memorable time and we look forward to returning.
