Reviews
Hi Barbara ,
We had a wonderful stay at Cliffside. We've been telling all of our friends and family about the villa. The breathtaking views, the wonderful, kind, caring, and friendly staff who tended to all of our needs. The food was delicious as well. We wish we could have stayed longer and missed the staff once we left. Even the kids enjoyed it and still talk about the villa and the staff. They were so wonderful.
The only thing that we had an issue with was the water pressure in most of the bathrooms. It was low especially on the 1st day but it was fixed. If that could be rectified then there should be no other complaints.
We would love to return in 2025 but we are going to Europe. When we are returning to Jamaica we will definitely be in touch.

The Cliffside staff was amazing. from the time we entered the home until we left, it was an unforgettable experience.
Everyone was attentive, dependable, accommodating, and hospitable. We were always served and waited on with the best service
We loved how everything was smooth and seamless. They took great care of my grandmother, as she is visually impaired.
I was blown away by the extra care and the over and beyond effort we witnessed.
We truly felt like we were staying with family.
Thank you to our Cliffside family! See you next time!

We loved all the staff who went above and beyond to see that we were comfortable, happy and safe. Having access to the two clubs was a real bonus for our group of young adults. We could all be together and enjoy a variety of activities. Our first experience with having a staff was a real luxury. Truly makes the vacation a holiday, especially for our Mom.

The staff was perfect. They were very attentive. Every meal we requested was made. All the food was delicious. Everything was very clean. Clifford the driver was great. He made sure we stayed safe and gave us good ideas to visit. I have been to Jamaica 2 times, but this is the first time I stayed at a villa. Patricia, Benford, & Renville made this the best vacation ever because of the staff. I will only be vacationing at Cliffside Cottage.

The staff exceeded our expectations in every way. The attention to detail surpasses any 5 star hotel. They were inviting and treated us like family. Truly unforgettable. We are grateful for their efforts. Accommodations felt like a home away from home. Clifford was phenomenal as a driver. We also appreciated his recommendations. The only thing that's upsetting is having to leave.
Chef Benford - His culinary skills had us eager to come back home. His meals made our trip more memorable. We all were amazed how he was able to accommodate every request. Ms. Patricia - I instantly felt comfortable around her. Ms. Patricia's energy was always inviting and positive. I valued her maternal guidance and oversight. Mr. Derrick - we are truly grateful for everything Derrick did for us. He was always available with a warm smile. He was courteous and a phenomenal bartender. Mr. Renville - We felt secure knowing Mr. Renville watched over us. No matter the time of night our family could sleep well with him around. Mr. Moullett- Her efforts behind the scenes wasn't unnoticed. We appreciated having fresh laundry every day. We didn't have to worry about anything staying here. Thank you.
