About this property

Anticipation Villa At Tryall Club - Private Beach, PGA Golf, Great Staffs & Chef

Anticipation is a luxury villa privately nestled on the hillside of the world-renowned Tryall Club with an uninterrupted 180-degree panoramic view of the Caribbean Ocean. It is arguably one of the best-positioned locations at the Tryall Club. The exclusive and gated Tryall Club is located approximately 20 minutes (via car) west of Montego Bay on the North coast of Jamaica.

Anticipation has been designed to capture the outstanding ocean views, this secluded luxury villa is the perfect destination for a scenic, beach getaway, whether it be a family, couples, girl’s and/or guys getaway, the vacation will be a memorable one.

From the Oceanview balcony, you’ll also capture an incredible vista of Tryall’s championship eighteen-hole golf course. During your stay, you’ll have access to Tryall’s many shops, bars, and restaurants. If you’re feeling adventurous, Island Routes & No Problem Tours, located right on Tryall property, offers water sports activities, ocean and land excursions. And, Tryall’s private beach is just a five-minute walk from Anticipation Villa but you can enjoy a ride in one of our three golf carts too!

Elegant, colonial architecture meets sleek and stylish modern beach decor at Anticipation, and the result is amazing. The spacious interior is highlighted by high-vaulted ceilings, numerous windows, and openings to the ocean view terrace, and free-flowing open concept design. Dark stained wood and soothing pastels create a peaceful feeling that you’ll appreciate after a long day on the golf course. You’ll also love taking a dip in the refreshing infinity pool. At dinner, you’ll have the choice between the cool and classic dining room, or the breezy alfresco set on the terrace. All meals prepared by a gourmet chef and winner Tryall Chef of the year. When it is time to retire for the evening, all of Anticipation’s suites have king or queen-sized beds, and beautiful en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Enjoy complimentary laundry service and nightly turndown service.

Anticipation’s tech features include SMART Televisions with cable television, complimentary Wi-Fi, Sonos speakers in every room and complimentary international calling. Outside, the plunge pool is great for a quick dip. And, there’s an alfresco shower, gas grill, and plenty of sun loungers spread throughout the ocean view terrace.

While you’re in Jamaica, consider a trip to Montego Bay. Just thirty minutes from the Tryall Club, you’ll find a wide range of international restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. If you’d like to explore Jamaica’s natural wonders, Montego Bay’s Ultimate Zip-Line Adventure is an exciting way to see the jungle. Or, spend an afternoon swimming with the Caribbean’s most friendly aquatic creatures at Dolphin Cove. You’ll also find plenty of dining options nearby in the Sandy Bay area, just outside Tryall’s beach estate.

Magnificent!
This is our 4th time at Anticipation and it was as wonderful as it has always been. We celebrated a 50th birthday and the staff made it so memorable. They went above and beyond. The staff has become like family. They are simply the best. We cannot wait to return!

Perfect guys' golf trip
I had been doing an annual golf trip to Las Vegas for 28 years...until the pandemic hit. My wife and I stayed at a different villa at Tryall in Feb, 2022 and I thought it would be a great place for the golf trip because the Tryall property is beautiful, the golf is great, the villas are lovely, and the staffs at the villas are truly exceptional. The staff at Anticipation was the best I have ever had. Food was great, service was as professional as anywhere I have been, laundry service, cleaning, etc...we could not have had a nicer stay anywhere else. And the owner, Rosemarie, as responsive as any owner I have worked with...no doubt - 5 stars...many thanks!

Paradise and the most amazing staff found!
Anticipation was everything we dreamed of and more! The views and the property are incredible, but what really made our trip one of the most memorable ever was the staff. As a group of moms away on a girls trip, having laundry done every day, amazing cocktails prepared by Clayton, and 5 star meals prepared by Chef Fitzroy nightly, we couldn’t have been spoiled more! Everyone made sure our trip was perfectly curated and planned to perfection. We can’t wait to return and to bring our families to this amazing paradise. Thank you!!

Unbelievable Views and Fantastic Service
The views at Anticipation Villa are outstanding. This is why you come to Jamaica!! When I am on vacation, I want to relax and not have to think about any kind of work. While at the villa, everything was taken care of. My clothing was washed and pressed, the chef always had something great cooking in the kitchen, and any need or question I had was quickly attended too. My family and I can not wait to go back!

A Dream Come True Wedding
“A Wedding to Remember” – July 9th – July 13th Our destination wedding at The Tryall Club Anticipation Villa was a dream come true and the 4 day celebration was more than what we Anticipated making our special day “A Wedding to Remember”. The day of arrival, the Anticipation Villa staff greeted us at the beautiful waterfall entrance with cool mint towels and glasses of champagne. We were amazed at the beauty and elegance of the 6 bedroom contemporary villa with stunning views from every room; the villa was much more than what we anticipated. The loving staff was very attentive and detailed-oriented making all 15 houseguests feel as if they were home. Chief Fitzroy’s meals were divine; all of them delicious, very tasty and never repeated. The staff was very excited about having the wedding dinner reception at their villa. The breath-taking panoramic ocean view from the terrace with the romantic fire pit adjacent to the beautiful infinity pool created the perfect romantic ambience for our outdoor dinner reception of 50 guests. Chief Fitzroy prepared a scrumptious reception dinner followed by a live flambé crepe station with caramelized pineapple or banana in aged Jamaican rum. Our wedding guests can’t stop talking about their wonderful experience at Anticipation Villa making our event “A Wedding to Remember”. If you would like more details on our wedding at Anticipation Villa, please email me at canunn08@gmail.com Rodney and Cherry

Sheer relaxation at Anticipation
Anticipation is an incredible place to spend a vacation! We enjoyed the finest food, relaxed by the pool and beach. Our staff took care of us like we were family. None of us wanted this week to end!

Anticipation Villa is perfection!
Our stay at Anticipation Villa was a lifetime experience. We absolutely loved it! It’s like staying at a Ritz-Carlton or a Four Seasons. Anticipation Villa is perfection, starting with the magnificent view of the ocean, its exceptional 6 master suites, the beautiful infinity pool, championship golf at the Tryall Club, a beautiful private beach, sailing, spa treatments at the Villa, gourmet cooking classes, yoga and a casino night are just a few of the activities we enjoyed. The staff of 5 catered to every need from gourmet meals prepared by the former Ritz Carlton executive chef, to poolside beverage service, daily laundry and concierge services. Anticipation Villa exceeded our expectations and left us speechless and we already booked our next visit!

A Perfect Home and Great Facility
Anticipation is perfectly named. Our group couldn't wait to get to Jamaica and we were welcomed with a beautiful home, wonderful staff and the best view at the Tryall Club. It is positioned perfectly on the hillside of Tryall Club allowing easy access to all amenities at the club while providing a breathtaking view at breakfast lunch and dinner! The staff at Anticipation is superb; combined with the home and view provides a product second to none. I hope to one day have the chance to experience Anticipation and Tryall Club again!

Beautiful place
Wow, what a beautiful place to be. The view is spectacular. The staff are so lovely and helpful. The food is amazing, what a luxurious way to spend a vacation. Truly relaxing when you really do not have to worry about any detail once you arrive. This was the best vacation I have ever taken. I have recommended this to everyone who asked! So lucky to have been able to stay here. Thank you!

Quiet retreat
This was my first visit to the beautiful island or Jamaica and the Tryall Resort. Upon arriving at anticipation in the view overlooking the golf course and beaches was breath taking. Each and every aspect of the home is first class, with the very best being the help. They are so welcoming and caring always anticipating what we wanted. The golf ochre is a pleasure to play with excellent greens. I would highly recommend visiting Anticipation and the resort.

Paradise!
A group of 12 recently returned from a week long stay at Anticipation Villa. It was the vacation of a lifetime. Anticipation is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful decor and breathtaking views. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. We dined on 5-star meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chef Fitzroy's culinary creations were AMAZING! We were pampered by the villa's very attentive staff and spent most of our time lounging and relaxing on the huge patio as opposed to venturing off property. We're already planning our next visit and the only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.

Fantastic Vacation Spot
We just returned from 10 days at Anticipation and the experience was exceptional! The house was even better than the pictures make it seem, the staff was unbelievably attentive, the views were the best we've ever had and it was just an overall unbelievably great vacation. We traveled with 3 small children and it was still a very relaxing vacation. The chef Sharon was great and we couldn't think of one thing that was missing from the experience. We hope to return again soon!

Paradise in Jamaica
I have just returned from Anticipation after a golf trip with a bunch of my buddies. The experience was spectacularly outstanding! I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Montego Bay a few years ago and thought that was as good as it gets -- boy, was I wrong. If the Ritz was a 5-Star experience, this had to be a 7-Star one, at least. The food, the service, the hospitality, the comfort, were all unequivocally fantastic! Then the view, at sunrise with a cup of coffee, or at night, looking out at the faintly lighted sea, while sipping some wine, took it to another level. Oh yes, not to forget, the golf at Tryall and other courses within a short driving distance, was excellent, though you wouldn't know that from my scores -- I guess I was too busy taking in the views. I hated to leave and cannot wait for my next visit. Thank you for making your home, such a wonderful place, available and accessible. K.O.

LovingAnticipation
I have had the incredible experience of staying at Anticipation Villa on numerous occasions. Once you have had a taste of "paradise" it is impossible to vacation anywhere else. The name Anticipation is perfect because every need you could possibly have is "anticipated" and "fulfilled". It is truly a 6 star experience. The property is modern and chic with the ultimate breathtaking views of the Island. It is "picture perfect" and lots of fun. We have traveled with our young children (ages 7 & 10) and they have more fun at Anticipation than they have had at 5 star resorts in the Caribbean catering to children. In fact my daughters have been saving their allowances so when they graduate from college they can "buy" Anticipation. Everything you could possibly want is available to you. Golf, tennis, spa treatments, gymnasium, tea time, kids club, the beach and the list goes on and on...everything is all on site. You have the option of being as "secluded" as you may like or you can be "included" in as many activities that are available. One of the nicest pleasures of staying at Anticipation is THE STAFF!!!! Hands down you will not find a better staff at ANY vacation spot....anywhere!!! I am always SO sad when I am leaving because after being catered to with so much genuine concern and professionalism...you don't want to leave. You immediately try to arrange future dates to return to the Villa. When I return I feel like I'm coming back home because the staff remembers all of your likes and preferences. In a nutshell Anticipation Villa is the "hottest" and most elite vacation destination in the Caribbean. The discerning vacationer should have the Anticipation experience. It is truly an experience of a "lifetime".

Pure Bliss!
Our family enjoyed a blissful week at Anticipation! The accommodations are outstanding! Each room is beautifully decorated and appointed, the views throughout the villa are spectacular, and the staff is extremely professional and welcoming. They went out of their way from the start to make our visit memorable, adding special touches for all throughout the week, including delicious frozen fruit drinks served pool side for the kids, and fabulous meals designed to more than satisfy a wide variety of palates! While we enjoyed all the resort had to offer and ventured off to other parts of the island, we were also perfectly content relaxing the day away at the villa. No matter what the day held, we were sure to begin and end it enjoying the tranquility of the patio, gazing beyond the infinity pool to the golf course and finally to the ever-changing blues of the Caribbean. Absolute heaven! It was an unforgettable vacation for us all.

Anticipating Our Return
I've had the pleasure of being a return guest to this property- each time it's more spectacular than the last. Stunning views from each room, modern ammenties, and the most impeccable staff remain a constant and guaranteed a perfect vacation for my entire group of discerning travelers. The culinary masterpieces (including vegetarian fares) prepared by the chef left us with no desire to eat out. I enjoyed spa services on property and was easily spoiled by the daily laundry service. Everyone loves all the "bells and whistles" that technology has to offer. Lounging outdoors or in the great room provided tranquility and a true escape from the oridinary. Perfect for girls-get-aways, family, golfing and romantic trips- our experience left us "anticipating" a return trip.

Absolutely Breathtaking!
From the moment my wife and I arrived at Anticipation Villa, we were blown away! The warm and friendly staff greeted us with ice cold Jamaican fruit drinks the moment we stepped out of the car. Next, we were taken on a detailed orientation of the imaculately kept Villa, where every room was a virtual oasis. We instantly felt the warmth of "home" (without, of course, the kids, work, chores, etc.). Throughout the entire week we were pampered by the accomodating Anticipation staff. The chef was unbelievably versatile (his soups are amazing), the butler was responsive, but not invasive, and i'm certain the cleaning staff was trained by the military (the place remained spotless). The views from the patio, overlooking the golf course with the ocean as as a back-drop, was absolutely breathtaking! I played golf for seven consecutive days, while my wife exercised by walking the amazing grounds of Tryall, the property on which Anticipation Villa is nestled into the mountain. We have stayed at amazing places throughout the world and never before have we felt such a delicate balance of comfort, luxory, and the uncanny feeling of familiarity (as if we were home) as we did on our stay at Anticipation Villa. The only disappointment we felt during our entire stay at this gem of a property, was when our driver showed up to shuttle us back to the airport at the end of our stay. Anticipation Villa truly tops our list of places to visit often!
