Haystack is the only eight-bedroom villa at the posh Tryall Club. Among the newest, its architecture defines spacious bedroom suites, a long furnished verandah perfect for dining outdoors, a striking red inside dining room and large family play room ~ all enhanced by overviews of the long private pool, acres of landscaped lawns and breathtaking views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea.

Distinctive at Haystack is the wonderful heated pool.  (Access by youngsters from the upper level of the villa to the pool is limited by baby gates.) Also on the pool level is the spacious Family Room with ping pong, foosball, games table and 44" flat screen television.

Notable are Haystacks handsome granite and tan tile en-suite bathrooms.  All are thoughtfully designed, well lit and very stylish.

Accommodations
Haystack's bedrooms are on three levels:

5 on the mid-level (the main living and dining level) include 3 elegant master suites

1 very privately located on the lower level opens to the pool terrace

2 less glamorous bedrooms on the top level are separated by a playful living space and form a casual suite for parents and children ~ or for 4 children

Main Level
Bedrooms 1-5
Each opens to a private balcony and lovely sea view.

2 king-bedded Master Bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom; soaking tub and seperate walk-in shower and double-basin vanity

1 queen-bedded Master Bedroom with en-suite bathroom; soaking tub, separate walk-in shower and double-basin vanity

2 optional kingsize or twin bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms; tub/shower combination

An Internet office adjoins the west Master Bedroom for quiet time on guest's laptop. This office space is available to all guests.
These 5 bedrooms include 3 37" televisions and 2 32" televisions.

Lower Level Hideaway
Bedroom 6
Down one flight of stairs, a very private bedroom on the pool terrace level
Kingsize bed, en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, 27" television

Here are two more bedrooms (optional twin beds or kingsize) separated

Italian Frette pique bathrobes are provided in each suite.

For larger groups, we heartily recommend Haystack's sister house just across the lawn, Bougainvillea. When combined, these two Premier properties provide 13 bedrooms, 13 staff members and 2 heated pools. Wonderful for golfers and family reunions!

Tryall Golf Tennis & Beach Club Membership

Among the most beautiful golf courses in the world, Tryall's 18 hillside and seaside fairways have been home to the Johnnie Walker, Mazda and other PGA championship events. The resident pro offers workshops. Spend days on the sunny beach while waiters serve you from the beach bar. Play tennis on nine Nova Cushion courts lighted for night play ~ all white required. Jog the trails, use the excellent gym and the complimentary Internet room. Snorkeling, kayaking, hobie cat and sunfish sailing are complimentary. Glass bottom boat trips, charter fishing boats, a boat to the reef and any captained craft attract various fees. Enjoy the historic Great House with afternoon tea, bar, boutique, cigar and jewelry shop. Here, too, is the Great House Restaurant for Continental and Jamaican dining should you wish to dine away from the villa an evening or two. Tryall is truly one of the distinctive private clubs of the world.

The Tryall Club was chosen by Condé Nast Traveler for its Gold List of "the best places to stay in the whole world."

Tryall Club Temporary Membership Fee
Tryall is a private club whose members may use most Club facilities at no charge with the exception of golf, food and beverage, and spa services. Complimentary amenities include the beach, water sports, tennis, the excellent gym, the Hummingbird Kids Club, Great House afternoon tea, the Manager's Cocktail Party and various special events.

The Tryall Club requires all villa and condo guests to become members during their stay via a Temporary Membership Fee of US$100 per week for each guest 18 or older, or US$20 per day per person for stays of less than 7 days.

Plan to pay your Temporary Membership Fee locally at the Front Desk in the Great House when you register. Credit cards are accepted. You will be given a temporary membership card to enable your access to all Club facilities.
