Greatview
  

Dear Linda,

The staff at Greatview is absolutely exceptional! We brought with us a one day stomach flu which, unfortunately for the little ones, resulted in a lot of mess, clean up and extra laundry. This staff did not complain ONCE! The villa is exceptionally well furnished and appointed but at the same time is has a very homey and comfortable feel about it. This was the best villa experience we have had!! The villa itself coupled with the outstanding staff made everything just terrific. There is no doubt that we will return for sure.

Dear Linda,

The staff was so very attentive to all our needs and very often went above and beyond our expectations. It was wonderful to have
Sunday football for the boys and music all day long. Greatview's elegant furnishings and appointments made this villa five star +.
We all had a wonderful vacation made even better by the staff and surroundings of Greatview.

Dear Linda,

After 18+ trips to Jamaica villas in the past 25 years, this is the BEST staff and service yet.
We are so thankful and appreciative of their kindness and professionalism.

Dear Linda,

We have just returned from another marvelous week at Greatview and I just want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the way the staff has continued to make our stay in Jamaica first class. For the last 3 years we have brought 3 generations of family to Greatview. Even though each age group requires their own special needs, the staff has been more than accommodating. My five year old son cannot get enough of O'Neill. The 2 of them spend so much time together as they trek out for their daily fishing expeditions. Our parents are approaching 70 and have their own needs that Aaron, Everton and Delores always meet. For us "middle aged" folk, we could not be happier than to see grandparents and their grandkids having such a great special time. Hopefully we will be back some day to visit our Jamaican family as we always think of them.

Cynthia,

I have been meaning to write you for the last two weeks, but for some reason returning from vacation always seems to be hectic.
We spent the week (3/17 - 3/24) at GreatView and I simply can't say enough. If you remember from the beginning I was a little hesitant and asked a million questions. Web-sites tend to be deceiving but your agency came very highly recommended from a trusted source.
Let's just say that your web-site does not begin to do justice to the house, IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING, and can't be captured by pictures!
We celebrated a 60th birthday with great success, in no short thanks to the WONDERFUL staff at GreatView. I truly want to thank you for all your help and your suggestion in picking that particular house. Our family is already planning a return trip as the entire party from the two year old up through the parents, could not have been happier. I just wanted to thank you for all your help and taking the time to answer my slew of questions. My warmest regards and I look forward to dealing with you many times in the future.

Thanks again for a wonderful trip ................

The villa is beautiful and the interior decorator is to be commended.

Dear Linda,

All the gorgeous faces of the staff who greeted us on our arrival became part of our family. They were all so helpful and kind!
We love you all!! My husband planned this surprise of a lifetime for my 50th birthday. My family, best friends and my new
Jamaican family were all there for the celebration. I will never be able to go on a standard vacation again - you have spoiled us!

Dear Linda,

The staff at Greatview is amazing. It is a wonderful villa and went far beyond exceeding our expectations. We were amazed
that every last detail was in place. The homeowner has made her home the perfect vacation spot and we hope to return.

Dear Linda,

This is our second trip to Greatview and we have made reservations for 2007.
Greatview has a wonderful staff and the experience wouldn't be the same without them.

Dear Linda,

The staff at Greatview is so personable and attentive.
The pictures on the website don't compare to the actual beauty and greatness of Greatview.

Dear Sharon,

We did not want time to pass without taking this moment to let you know that we had a fabulous vacation at Greatview
and it surpassed all of our expectations. The villa was "First Class" all the way and the staff was
of equal if not better quality. The twelve (6 adults and 6 children) of us enjoyed every moment in the villa
and the way the staff went out of their way to meet our every need. It was a true fantasy vacation.
We cannot wait to return again next year.

When you have a moment please call me to discuss the available dates for next year as we would like
to reserve a time now for our next trip. If you ever need a referral for a future guest, please do not hesitate to
give them my numbers and I will be sure to tell them what a wonderful time that was had by all.

Thanks!

Dear Linda,

My wife and I had a WONDERFUL time at Greatview. We could not have been more pleased with the villa and especially the staff.
We are planning a family Thanksgiving this year and another trip in February. We are definitely looking forward to our return.

Dear Linda,

The best of everything was put into making Greatview! It was an amazing vacation experience. We appreciated the attention to detail in everything. The staff exceeded our expectations. They were there when we needed them and respected our privacy as well. The love and care put into this villa is what makes it so special. It is all the little touches, fine china, flowers, table settings, heirloom treasures, etc...
that give this villa the special ambiance. For us it was a home away from home. It was all we wished for and more for our 20th wedding anniversary!

Dear Linda,

The staff at Greatview is extremely friendly and attentive - almost like a family. This villa is Four Seasons caliber. It is an absolute knockout. The pictures on the web site don't do it justice. This was one of the finest, most luxurious vacations we have had.
I will come back in a second, without question.

Dear Linda,

We could not ask for a better staff. All of our wants, needs and wishes were met before we wanted, needed or wished for them. Everyone treated us with so much kindness. The attention to detail is impeccable. I can't imagine wishing for anything more. This place is gorgeous and perfect! Call on us to recommend to others. We are your biggest fans!

The service was superb, the food was excellent, the entire villa is absolutely fabulous. There's nothing negative to say.
It's absolutely gorgeous, the grounds, the interior decorating. The entire experience has left us speechless. We will absolutely return.

Dear Linda,

The staff here is fabulous!! Very attentive & accommodating; excellent service. The very best food. The best food & service we've had in 15 years of coming to Jamaica. Beautiful & comfortable home. Love the decor - very tasteful & elegant. We've really enjoyed it. We will be back!

Dear Linda and Staff,

What thought went into making this villa so elegant, yet comfortable and inviting!! We can see why it must have been so easy to come up with a name for this wonderful piece of paradise ... what a GREAT VIEW we had from every room including the verandah and infinity edge pool. The staff couldn't have done any more to make us feel as though this was our home - they are the heart and soul of what makes a villa vacation in Jamaica so special!! And the food was second to none! No more hotels or resorts for us!
