Eslyn Villa, A Home Away From Home! *Jamaica Tourism Board approved*

Does Not Disappoint - Outstanding Service - COVID Compliant!!!!…

5 / 5 Excellent

The owner of Villa Eslyn makes staying at this villa so worthwhile. From the initial inquiry to immediately upon our departure Mr. Emanuel worked diligently to make sure we had all the information we needed to complete our Travel Authorization forms. The Jamaican Tourist board did not have Eslyn Villa listed as an approved location in the Resilient Corridor; however, (in what seems like a hundred emails and he always responded in less than 30 minutes) Mr. Emanuel went so far as to provide us with a copy of his COVID compliance certificate certifying his villa as fully inspected and safe. This was a lifesaver because, without it, we would have been required to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival on the island. The information he provided was so critical, the Jamaica Tourist board updated their website and our arrival at customs was so easy. The villa is immaculate and beautiful. It is a few minutes walk from the beach but the private pool made it so easy to vacation right at the villa. The villa is in the heart of everything, close enough to the attractions and most importantly in the Resilient corridor so it was easy to still sightsee and meet the Jamaican Tourist Board requirements. Ms. Beverly the house manager and the gardner were both super helpful and responsive. They respected our privacy but were available whenever we needed them. The island dishes Ms. Beverley made for us were so tasty. I wish we had more than four days and we plan to return with our family. We only used two bedrooms during this stay and we were given our choice when we arrived; however, there is enough room for our entire family to return for our family vacation. If you are dreaming of a restful and comfortable island vacation with a super host and caretakers, you cannot go wrong choosing Eslyn Villa.…The owner of Villa Eslyn makes staying at this villa so worthwhile.

Beautiful & Private Villa-- Centrally Located In Runaway Bay, Jamaica W.I.

Love these people and the property…

5 / 5 Excellent

If you didn't get it in the title of my review, I loved this place!!! Anya and Orville were awesome host who took such good care of us. We traveled to celebrate my sweeties 50th birthday with family and friends. The pictures of the house and property does not do it justice. The gardens are lush and full of fruit trees and vegetation. The pool was so nice to relax at and was our favorite morning coffee spot. Tina (the housekeeper) come in daily and took care of our needs. She was helpful with shopping and full of laughs that our crew provided. Anya helped me with preparation for the birthday dinner and gave so many helpful tips during our stay. Orville is an AWESOME cook! As I prepared to take this trip, I read many reviews and everyone is correct when they say Orville can cook. All of our food was fresh and made with care. Jermaine (the driver) was our life line to Jamaica. He gave great recommendations to us on attractions, restaurants and info in general. He helped me get a fabulous sax player who come to the villa and performed for us. Our trip was so much fun and relaxing as well. I am looking forward to visiting Pimento villa again! Love you guys (Anya and Orville)…If you didn't get it in the title of my review, I loved this place!!! Anya and Orville were awesome host who took such good care of us.
