Summertime
  

Dear Linda,

The Summertime staff is wonderful. They are very cheerful, friendly and helpful and are ready to do anything that is asked of them.
We had very high expectations and they were all met.

Dear Linda,

The Summertime experience was just unbelievable. The staff is very warm, caring and professional. The meals were great - deliciously prepared and elegant! This was one of the best experiences I have ever had. We were treated like royalty and plan to return yearly.

Dear Linda,

The staff at Summertime are all gracious, genuine and wonderfully helpful. Our large group including 2 disabled guests
and 4 children have been treated like royalty. Summertime is perfect and the staff is extraordinary.

Dear Linda,

The Summertime staff is cheerful and responsible! This is a very efficiently run villa. It is a great place for a family ranging
in age from 3-65 years. There are activities for everyone.

Dear Linda,

The staff made our dream vacation so enjoyable. They took care of us like we were family and so sincerely appreciated that.
Oliver's meals were delicious and Omar kept us laughing all the time. This staff made our vacation a time that we will always cherish.

Dear Linda,

Thanks for yet another wonderful holiday in Jamaica. This was my thirteenth year and I'm sure it will not be my last. Omar was charming and accommodating and could not do more to help us. Oliver is the nicest chef I have ever met. He met every one of our needs and always wanted input as to what we would like for our meals. The grounds are absolutely magnificent. Roy the gardener had the acres meticulously trimmed and we had oranges and bananas from the grounds for our table. As far as my initial reservation service goes, I can only say you folks are over the top. Everyone I dealt with was terrific, answered calls immediately and the information I needed in hand. Everything and everyone was perfect.

Dear Linda,

"Summertime", so apropos - it was "hot" and so was our stay, in every way. The hospitable staff made our stay so enjoyable and because of his wonderful meals, Oliver helped us all gain about 10 pounds. What a pleasure to have fresh clean laundry every day.
What a job it must have been to keep the villa so immaculate since there were 15 of us there, but it was always spotless.
We hope we will be back again someday.

Dear Linda,

We are back from vacation and we all had a great time. We were very sorry to leave. The service and the accommodations were outstanding. Omar was at our beck and call all day and Oliver's meals were fabulous, as our weight can attest. The entire staff did a great job and Howard our driver was a favorite of my granddaughters. We would recommend Summertime to anyone who wants
to have a great care free vacation.

Dear Linda,

Our families have been vacationing together for 23 years and it's been 7 years since we've sbeen on vacation in Jamaica. None of our vacations have even come close to the beautiful experience and awesome memories that we created at Summertime. The staff was caring, helpful and professional. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with smiles and warmth, Summertime felt like home. Omar never let our glasses get empty, Oliver's cooking was amazing - he planned meals that gave us new foods to try and he provided something for everyone's tastes, even the finicky eaters. Our rooms were always immaculate and decorated with beautiful fresh flowers. We can't thank the staff enough for all our memories that will last a lifetime!

Dear Linda,

I want to let you know how PERFECT our trip to Summertime was - it could not have been improved upon! That was due in large part
to the wonderful staff at the villa and to our driver Capel. The fact that the weather cooperated didn't hurt! I highly recommend you and your company to anyone who is planning on visiting Jamaica and I hope to return to one of the villas some day soon.

Dear Linda,
We had a wonderful time at Summertime and a couple of things had a huge effect on our trip. The staff at Summertime was OUTSTANDING. They were warm, caring and took excellent care of our group. We felt so welcome upon arrival and throughout our trip. Omar was such a hard worker and waited on us hand and foot. He was the first one up every morning with coffee ready for us when we got up, and he was the last one up at night to lock up. Oliver prepared wonderful meals, kept us extremely well fed and entertained us with magic tricks. Marvette and Essie kept Summertime spotless and our clothes and linens beautifully laundered. Roy took care of the grounds to perfection. Our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable about Jamaica and all it has to offer. He recommended wonderful tours and was always on time. I just wanted you to know what a fantastic trip we had to celebrate our 20th reunion.

Dear Linda,
We had a WONDERFUL time on our trip!! The staff was great and the food was even better :-). Everyone had a really nice time and
my 9 year old niece said it was the best time of her whole life, so I guess that about sums it up!!!

Dear Linda,
From the moment we arrived at Summertime everyone had a wonderful time! Some of us had been to Jamaica many times and some were "newbies" but EVERYONE LOVED IT! We had great service, awesome food and the weather was perfect, too!! The staff has a great balance of friendliness and professionalism and made our stay very comfortable and pleasant! I expected it to be perfect and it was. We had a wonderful visit, nobody wanted to leave, but WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Dear Linda,
The service and the staff was excellent at Summertime, but an extra "hats off" must be given to Omar who really went the extra distance to make us feel at home and ensure our every wish was granted. The accommodations were great.

When my college friends and I arrived at Summertime we were greeted by the wonderful staff. From the time we walked through the door we were pampered and made to feel special! Everything was excellent and the entire staff deserves a raise!

Dear Linda,
We can't thank all of you enough. Our week in Jamaica was flawless!! The food was fresh, tasty and bountiful. Oliver was masterful in the kitchen, always presenting us with a unique variety of Jamaican dishes. We all gained on average 5 pounds!! The pool side drinks flowed throughout the day. Omar, the butler, was efficient and worked extremely hard to ensure all of our needs were met. He even waited up to greet us late at night returning from Margaritaville! The house staff, Marvette and Essie, kept our rooms spotless, our clothes fresh and clean and added tropical touches such as flower sprigs in the rooms and bathrooms. Thanks to Roy, the grounds were kept neat and welcoming. The van was crucial and Robert, our driver, was pleasant and present whenever we needed him. All in all we enjoyed what may have been one of our best vacations ever!! (And we take lots of vacation!). Thank you again and you will definitely hear from us again when we plan our next trip!

Dear Linda,
Omar and Oliver are outstanding - skillful, kind, intuitive and unobtrusive. Omar was wonderful with our children. Summertime is gracious and homey, stately without being opulent. It pleased us very much. The staff's kindness to my ailing father was greatly appreciated - he left rejuvenated.

Dear Linda,
Omar was very attentive to our every need and made us feel at home. Oliver did a fabulous job with meals (both preparation and selection of dishes). The house was always kept clean and organized by Marvette. Great job by everyone! The house was beyond expectations! We were very pleased with the location, privacy and overall comfort of the villa.

Dear Linda,
Flowers and my own coffee tray upstairs each day - I loved it. The villa was so clean our baby could crawl on the floors without worry! The facilities far exceeded my expectations. Personal touches and attention to individual needs was the best. Amenities were provided without asking, and we felt our comfort and personal preferences were a priority. Your staff made my daughter's wedding more than she anticipated. It was perfect! The decorations and all other extras we requested were done promptly and with pride.
Your staff is the BEST!!

Angie E., Fayetteville AR, Apr 2005

The staff and service were truly top notch. The staff was friendly, courteous, and efficient. The service was timely and always professional. We looked forward to every meal and thoroughly enjoyed the drinks in between. The accommodations were beautifully decorated and immaculately kept. The bathroom and bedrooms were spotless. We loved having the beds made and turned down. We have truly been spoiled and are not looking forward to going home and having to do our own laundry. Every member of the staff was exceptional. They were friendly and seemed to enjoy having us as guests as much as we enjoyed staying with them. They were great. The whole crew made us feel right at home! Thanks for everything.

Tara R., Fayetteville AR, Apr 2005

The staff is super. The villa is lucky to have them. I wouldn't change a thing and I can't wait to return.
