Pineapple House is a newly-renovated happy house filled with color and whimsy … wonderful for golfers, tennis players and families with children of all ages. Shades of sky-blue periwinkle and sunny yellow bring the clear, bright Jamaican outdoors through the house. The soft whisper of trade winds is calming and cooling.

The heart of the house is the open-space dining and living room with television, DVD and sound system. Twenty-one feet of French doors open to the furnished verandah and outside dining area above the pool. The Caribbean Sea view is lovely. An exterior spiral staircase leads to the upstairs bedrooms. An interior staircase also joins the two levels.

From the state-of-the-art kitchen, Chef Melva creates amazing meals including garlic shrimp and lobster, sumptuous salads, chocolate soufflés and her specialty, homemade soups (pumpkin, red pea, pepper pot and conch chowder). Children’s meals may be served whenever parents request so adults may enjoy private candlelight dinners at the hour they wish. Loving Jamaican nannies can be hired at any hour to look after the children.

The Tryall Club

A significant amenity for guests in this villa is membership at the excellent Tryall Club.  On 2,200 acres, Tryall’s golf course is among the most beautiful in the world.  Its 18 hillside and seaside fairways have been home to the Johnnie Walker, Mazda and other PGA championship events.  The resident pro offers workshops and private lessons.   The Tryall tennis club features nine Nova Cushion courts, some lit for night play, with world-class pro’s on call.  All whites required. 

The beach is well planned for parents and children. Have lunch at the beach bar.  Work out in the well-equipped gym.  Jog the marked trails. Snorkeling, kayaking, hobie cat and sunfish are complimentary.  Glass bottom boats, charter fishing, a boat to the reef and any captained craft attract various fees.  Enjoy the week’s events, including the Monday Night Manager’s Cocktail Party and the Wednesday and Friday night beach parties (Friday Seafood Night on the Beach Buffet is excellent).

On the hill, enjoy the historic Great House for afternoon tea and a magnificent view from the terrace.  Shop at the commissary and boutique, meet for happy hour at the bar, and browse a wealth of Jamaican, Haitian and Cuban works and souvenirs in the Gallery of West Indian Art.  And don’t miss the massive Tryall pool!
