Great Villa, Great Staff
The villa feels very authentic to Jamaica, and pictures are very close to reality. The staff was incredible, bending over backwards to fulfill our needs. Every one was very polite, accomodating and helpful. The included driver and van made our stay so much more enjoyable as we did not have to worry about transportation. The house itself was very well maintained, cleaned daily and grounds maintained. The only negatives: house desciption and pricing did not list the need to tip, until after the booking was completed were we notified of a rather hefty uptick for staff tips. While they deserve every peny as they work really hard, the salalry and or tips should be listed in the advertisment / booking. Also, most of the rooms do not have glass in the windows, just screens and shutters, thus we've experienced some noisy nights when a bar down the street had a big party, in addition, since the house is older, its not well noise insulated, thus noise from the kitchen and creaking staircase traveled thougout. Lastly, the house is rather far from the beach, with the closest free beach about 20 min away. Negative, they charge $7 per bed and same per umbrella, so it can add up quickly. That siad, asaide from the additional tip costs, i would only subtract .5 point from a score of a 10 for all the other minoute issues.

Extended family vacation
Even before our arrival, Lisa Clarke (management) was a huge help to me. She assisted me in obtaining permitting to bring my mothers cremated ashes into the country. Thanks again Lisa! The property was as advertised. There were no check in issues as the entire staff was waiting to welcome us on our arrival. The villa is well maintained, spacious and clean. We had 13 members in our group and at no point did I feel crowded or uncomfortable. The pool was awesome and the views were immaculate. Staff: Oliver (the butler) was amazing and connected on a personal level with our group. He is extremely down to earth and personable. Carl (the chef) is a talented cook, he full filled all of our requests. We would give him a menu request and he would go shopping and prepare the meals. I recommend trying the porridge and fresh mangos. Marvette and Neshia (housekeeping staff) did our laundry and kept the place immaculate daily. Security and the gardener were always present. At no point did we feel unsafe. I can't say it enough, the entire staff was so helpful and pleasant. I would recommend utilizing the provided transportation. We had a large group and were provided with a 15 passenger van and driver every day. Our driver was knowledgeable, resourceful and extremely personable. Big shout out to Gene (the driver). If your looking for an experience different from a typical resort, and would really like to see Jamaica, I would absolutely recommend staying at this Pharos Villa.

A time to remember
This was a very beautiful and clean property. Every staff member was as helpful as they could be. We had about 3 main issues which was: My gay brother was called out of his name by staff within a few hours of our arrival (we understand the culture but this was very unprofessional and uncomfortable especially staying for 1 week total). The chef Carl was great with having our meals together on time but didn’t follow directions too well as far as making special accommodations for birthday dinner and cake. The extra funds given to him to make this special was not followed through by him. Lastly, the driver could have had a better attitude and actually took the time to sit down with us to discuss excursions she knew of instead of just throwing out suggestions here and there. Overall the staff was amazing! Marvette was the sweetest and took very good care of us and our laundry! Oliver was always there with whatever we needed before we knew we needed it! He was phenomenal and sang a beautiful HBD song to my friend and I. And Leonard was very helpful with local information and sight seeing around the property. We had a time! And I thank you all so much for this wonderful experience.

Very much so made our trip amazing. It's sad to here the owners under pay them. If it wasnt for the staff we probably would not have stayed there. The pool area was the dopiest part of the house. The room and living quarters is VERY DATED. Needs to be updated for sure. Overall great experience.

Simply gorgeous views from villa
We celebrated my daughters 25th birthday at the villa. Twelve 25 years old in one beautiful villa. The ladies loved the spacious rooms, took a dip in the pool everyday and enjoyed her birthday dinner poolside on a beautifully decorated table.
