Drambuie
  

Dear Linda,

I am a T-8 to T-10 paraplegic. My family and I were guests at Drambuie in July and I wanted to let you know my experience and comments. I found the estate to be extremely accommodating and accessible from all the spacious rooms, verandahs and grounds to the walkways. My bedroom was very accessible with wide doorways and double doors to the bathroom. Although I was not able to roll into the shower, I found it very easy to transfer into a shower chair in the tub. The bed has room on either side for easy access and the bedroom itself is very spacious. It was lovely to have the verandahs off the bedrooms to enjoy the beautiful views. The living room/game room was very comfortable and also afforded outstanding views. We played pool and enjoyed family games every night. That was always after a most delicious meal. The food was outstanding. The walkways and grounds provide much freedom and are a treat with all of the fruit growing in front of you. Peel a mango that you have taken right off the tree or have Tony get you some coconut water (which I found very energizing). Since the walkways down to the pool have a grade, the attentive staff was always available and more than willing to lend a hand or to "spot" me for reassurance.

The staff was nothing short of fantastic and the experience at Drambuie was a pleasure from beginning to end. I highly recommend this villa for disabled persons as well as for the able bodied.

Dear Linda,

In a word, stunning! The villa and exquisite views, the awesome island of Jamaica and, of course, the staff whom we will always remember with fondness and gratitude as these are the wonderful people who created a magical time for us! From the hand-delivered Heineken upon our arrival to the hugs and kisses at our departure, our stay was unique and personal. Thank you for our remarkable time with everyone.

Dear Linda,

We just spent a week in paradise with our family. That's the best part, being with children and grandchildren. However, the glorious villa enhanced our stay. The lush grounds, magnificent views, the wonderfully caring and attentive staff and the marvelous meals prepared by Nicoy made it all outstanding. We feel very fortunate.

Dear Linda,

For our diverse crowd, the lay-out of the villa was great. We celebrated 2 birthdays and had Thanksgiving dinner while we were there and the staff was excellent in meeting our various and challenging needs based on the difference in ages of the group. The food and service was superb and the staff so patient and accommodating. We had a terrific time at Drambuie!

Drambuie is a beautiful villa with an equally beautiful staff who are caring, warm and loving folks. We return to Jamaica because of the amazing hospitality and warmth of the people. It is a spectacular place and we had a most relaxing time. We leave with many fond memories.

Dear Linda,

We had the best vacation ever!! The natural beauty, awesome view and excellent care the staff provided will, no doubt, lure us back to Drambuie. We love the real Jamaica. It was FABULOUS, FABULOUS and we will never stay in a resort again. Thanks for the perfect moments and we look forward to returning next year.

Dear Linda,

My sisters-in-law, mother-in-law and I just returned from a vacation at Drambuie where we celebrated by mother-in-law's 70th birthday.
I just want to let you know what a wonderful time we had. The villa and location are absolutely beautiful and the incredible staff at Drambuie made our stay very special. We were waited on hand and foot, something we mom's are not used to. In the beginning, we felt awkward asking for things, but somehow we got used to it. We fell in love with everything and everyone. I came away with a whole new feeling for Jamaica and I would love to return someday. Thank you and everyone who helped make our vacation special, memorable and like no other

Dear Linda,

We had a wonderfully quiet and stress free week of great service and friendly attitudes. Every meal was perfection and there was not a moment we were not cared for with respect. Tony did a wonderful job as sis all of the staff. We always felt we were at home and part
of the family. I cannot find a single thing that would make it better if it were changed. We will definitely return in the near future

Dear Linda,

We enjoyed a very special visit at Drambuie over the Thanksgiving holiday. The staff was superb and Tony did an excellent
job of managing the staff and ensuring that all of our various needs were attended to promptly. The location of the villa is spectacular and the panoramic view of the Montego Bay harbor is incredible. A hearty thumbs up and thank you to all for a very special time at Drambuie.

Tony [butler] was a wonderful manager. He was attentive, funny, responsible, knowledgeable and competent. The food was fantastic - better than we expected. The table was always set so beautifully - nice touch! Warren is an excellent addition to the staff.
Staff was great with the kids. I loved the hammock and beautiful view. Excellent!!!

Dear Linda,

Thank you so much!!! I had a great time in Jamaica - it wouldn't have been the same without the wonderful staff. Tony, our butler,
went out of his way to make our visit a pleasure. What a wonderful experience living in our dream home for 10 days. Thank you again!

This place is wonderfully breathtaking. The staff couldn't have been better than they were. The hospitality exceeds the greatness it took to service our group. Our meals were nutritious and full of planning with care. The staff truly is the heart of this beautiful estate. We will never forget our memories. We would love to return.
